I get the error Element POLANDRN is undefined in APPLICATION.

16 : </cfif>--->
17 : <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes">
18 : <Cfset ThisArea = Application.PolandRN>
19 : <Cfparam name="Action" default="NEW">
20 : <Cfoutput>

However in the application.cfm file I have Application.PolandRN = "POLISHFORUM";

Please advice.


 
Maybe the application timed out, what is the application timeout set to? Does it happen sporadically or all the time?

All the time. I have other variables defined in there but those variable are getting defined so I doubt it is a cfadmin issue.
 
Are all other vars that get defined without an issue APPLICATION vars?

Are you clearing/deleting the Application.PolandRN var at any point?

Is the spelling correct? Usually a small typo can cause that (that happens more often then one realizes)

Just out of curiousity is this APPLICATION.cfm the root directory application.cfm or a sub-folder application.cfm? Is the file calling the Application.PolandRN var in a sub-folder that has its own APPLICATION.cfm?

The application.cfm is in the root folder.

All the other vars that get defined are application vars eg: Application.ITALIANRN = "ITALIANFORUM";

I doublechecked the spelling multipletimes and finally did a cut paste to make sure.

Am not clearing the Application.PolandRN variable.

 
Well that is perplexing. If all other vars appear fine, then it can't be a cfadmin issue.

What I do in cases like this is:
1. clear all vars (session and application)
2. restart the CF server (if you can)
3. delete the Application.ITALIANRN var from the application.cfm and reenter it.

I know there are other ways to debug this, but if you don't want to spend more time on this, and if you can restart CF, I'd go that route.

Thanks. I will try clearing the variables. Unfortunately I have no control over the server since it is hosted elsewhere. :-(
 
Thats OK. Try clearing the cache and re-entering the Application.PolandRN var. Most of the times that fixes it right away.

I know this is going to make me sound stupid.... but how do I clear the cache?
 
create file and enter this in it:

<cfset clrSessionVar = StructClear(SESSION)>
<cfset clrSessionVar = StructClear(APPLICATION)>

Then call this file from the browser
