Datefield - Strange Problem

[Edward Chanter]

Dear All,

I'm seeing something very strange and am wondering if anyone else has had
this problem. I've got 2 nearly identical Red Hat servers running CF8. I've
got a fairly simple cfform that is using a datefield, it's an "edit" form so
I'm feeding a date into the box.

The code works perfectly on one server but bombs with an "invalid date or
time string" error on the other. It doesn't matter what format I use, UK, US
it all fails on one server and works on the other... I'm a bit lost with
this one because the 2 machines are pretty much identical and I can't
understand why one would work and the other not.

Does anyone have any ideas?

best wishes,

      -= Ed

Ed,

There can be several things happening here.

Is this a CF error or a DB error your receiving?

Are these servers accessing the same code on a shared file server?  (Just in
case there is a code difference.)

Check to make sure your running the same updates on Red Hat, CF and your JVM
on both machines.

Wil

Hi Wil,

Thanks for your response. The error appears to be a CF error both servers
talk to the same database so if the problem was DB it would probably appear
on both. The code itself is on 2 different machines and I copied the file
from one to the other to ensure they were identical.

I've checked the Cf version and it reports as 8,0,0,176276 in both cases.
The version of Red Hat is the same, as is the JVM.

Very weird indeed, I've built a workaround to the code that takes the
cfinput datefield and replaces it with a normal text input field. Doing it
that way the code works perfectly so it's like there is something strange
happening with the "datefield" cfinput type.
