wrong template being run

[mab123]

Hi,

We are experiencing a problem where a service is trying to run a template at a
path like this:

domains/mydomain.org/rcpt.cfm

but is actually running a similarly named template living one directory higher
at:

domains/rcpt.cfm

This is an itermittent problem. It seems like it might happen after
domains/rcpt.cfm is legitimately run. After that, trying to run rcpt.cfm in the
subdirectory below it runs the top-level template instead. (We've already done
significant debugging to show the service is in fact requesting hte correct
template and so are pretty certain the problem doesn't lie there.) So I'm
supposing this might be a problem with ColdFusion 6,1,0,63958 and its caching
of compiled templates. To confirm this, I'm wondering it there is a way to turn
of template caching on a per template basis. That is, can I force ColdFusion to
parse a particular set of CFM files every time they are requested? Or does
anyone have any other ideas about how to debug what might be happening?

Thanks,
Mike

I'd start by renaming the offending template. You might then be able to produce
an error that sheds some light on the subject.

If you are using variables to determine path, check those to make sure there
are no shared variables.

Look for offending CFLOCATION calls.

If these applications have 2 different application.cfm files, be sure that the
application names in each are different. If you don't they will share a session
scope which can cause some very unusual things to happen.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately we can't rename the files as the
product we are using (inFusion Mail Server) dictates what names they should be.
The mail server is logging where it's getting the template from and so I'm
pretty confident it's not a problem with how the path is being built up. We are
using different Application.cfm files for the two rcpt.cfm files - I'll try
changing that to avoid any session scope issues.

We corrected the problem by turning off "Cache web server paths" in the CF admininstrator.
