Railo Java error: java.io.FileNotFoundException

Question

I have a windows server 2008 VPS running Railo 3.3.

I am having a Java issue using the <cfimage tag.

Basically I upload an image using <cffile to Folder/Images/Original Then on another page I use <cfimage to read the file then use <cfimage again to resize and save over the top of the file. This is were the issue is.

I will not I have tried saving to other locations so it isn't overwriting that is causeing the issue.

I can't post an image of the error so I will post the text here:

Answer 1

The error is being quite specific so look at the permissions. Where it says:

Cause: java.io.FileNotFoundException   
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mnz.salesearch.co\NZ1\CheapSkates\Images\Original (Access is denied)

Means that whatever user Railo is running under (check in your Services) does NOT have access to get files from that folder.
