<cfcontent gives me 500 server error

[AmirS]

Hi,

I am trying to download pdf documents and use this code:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;filename=Plan.pdf">
<cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="docs/Plan.pdf" >

but it gives me 500 server error.
if I remove the "file" attribute from <cfcontent I will get the download box but no file is downloaded.
servers are unix solaris 10 , coldfusion 7 , apache 2.0

Please help.

does it work if you do this?
<cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="docsPlan.pdf" >

no it does not since the Plan.pdf is inside /docs folder
i even copy the document to the same folder as page is calling and the code:

<cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="Plan.pdf" >

still no luck and same error.

Can you try to run the content in your pdf without sending it to a pdf? Perhaps, there is some kind of a CF error and that's why you're getting a 500
