PLEASE HELP! Why Is This Application.cfc Throwing Errors?

Posted October 18, 2006 at 8:16 AM

Tags: ColdFusion

Can anyone help me out on this error? I thought that I had solved the problem in my other post, but it turns out, that was not causing the ColdFusion event error. The error popped back up again. Here is error:

An exception occurred when invoking a event handler method from Application.cfc The method name is: onApplicationEnd.

What is going on? Here is Application.cfc Code:

Wow, not sure what the problem is. I just copied your code into a temp directory on my server and it ran fine. Have you restarted your CF lately?

FWIW, I'm on Apache 2.0.58 (on XP) w/ Enterprise CF 7,0,2,142559

6Dust,

Just to be clear, it's not writing any HTML file (error.htm) to the temp directory. You wouldn't be able to see the error on screen when running the index.cfm file.

Ben,

Even I pasted your code in my system and run it, it works fine with no error. So where should I see the error?.

The file is not created and no dumping is there, is that your case?

i confirm that. i did try to run it on my end and it worked just fine. and no html file with error was created. the html eror file is created only if i ty with a purpose to create errors in index.cfm.

I tried stripping out the OnError method and obviously the page works fine (as the OnSEssionEnd and OnApplicationEnd are not browser-related issues). However, I am also seeing that NONE of the errors are getting logged in the ColdFusion Application.log file. How strange is that??

Works fine for me too - CF MX 7 on Windows 2003 server...

Everyone here has run it successfully; have you tried deleting your files and recreating them from what you've posted on the blog?

Seb et al,

I have tried moving files around to no avail... here is an update:
