I have a problem with cfimage that only exists on my local development machine
(localhost) - the same code works and displays on my development and production
servers with the same basic CF environment (CF version and patch level, etc).

The cfimage action is "writetobrowser" and is used extensively in the code,
sometimes to produce thumbnail images, sometimes to produce default "image is
missing" type of images.

On my local machine, on any template that creates one of these images, the
image is created and I can see them appear in the CF dir
"tmpCache\CFFileServlet\_cf_image". The "view source" in the HTML looks like
the image should show: <img
src="/CFFileServlet/_cf_image/_cfimg-8983557613489887032.PNG" height="150"
alt="" />

But nothing displays. Can anyone shed light on what might be happening and
how to fix it? Will this require a complete reinstallation of CF?

What is the error message in the browser? Did you try to access the
file directly via the browser [ yourSite//CFFileServlet/_cf_image/
_cfimg-8983557613489887032.PNG ] ?
I suspect that you are missing a mapping because I have NEVER seen
[and can not imagine] anybody naming their site's root "tmpCache" [or
similar]...

I'm not sure if you've already fixed this, but I suspect that the problem lies
in the JRUN connector in IIS 6.0 (which I am assuming you're running). This is
the wildcard extension DLL which you can get to by getting properties on your
website in IIS Manager > Home Directory tab > "Configuration..." button in the
Application Settings section.

You should see something like
"<drive>:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll" in the "Wildcard
application maps" section. Highlight it and click the Edit button to the right.
If the "Verify that file exists" option is checked then uncheck it and try the
cfimage function again!

Thanks much for your response. I still have the problem and was about giving
up *(well, giving up for a while anyway) and was planning on doing a CF
reinstall to see if I could fix the problem.

As far as my IIS installation, my local development environment is IIS 5.1 and
it doesn't have the same options in the application configuration window (no
wildcard mappings.) I tried adding the mapping to that wildcard dll to the
main application mappings window, and the cf server server pages at all. I
get a "server error" occurred. Should I be able to add a wildcard mapping in
IIS 5?

Thanks again, Ann

Not having access to an IIS 5 installation with CF 8 I'm not sure how much help
I can be! The principle is the same however.

In IIS 5 you should be looking for the ISAPI filter rather than the wildcard
extension which is used in IIS 6. Make sure that this has "Check that file
exists" unticked. This is possibly under 'Master properties' of the main IIS 5
server properties (the top node), but I'm struggling without access to a live
server. I do remember that IIS 5 had an ISAPI filter (for non-.cfm requests
that CF should handle) and an ISAPI extension (for .cfm requests).

Perhaps someone here who is running CF 8/IIS 5 could check for you?
