If so then I think you are better off going to a copy/delete approach.<br /><br />See http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread16215.html, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=144296, http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t130180-existing-file-copy.html<br /><br />Tested on CF7/Solaris 10,JDK 1.4.2<br /><br /><br />Mark Mark (gruden) 0 0 2006-10-30T22:00:59 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p34.htm#51171 I am experiencing the same error.<br />I know my paths are correct.<br />I know my permissions are correct.<br />I know my code is correct.<br />Yet I still get the error.<br />If you have read down this far then this is probably your solution<br /><br />If you are trying to append your file name with a date MAKE SURE YOU DONT HAVE SLASHES IN IT! instead go with a dash <br />ie. 01-01-07 instead of 01/01/07 cf will think you are changing the path mugafuga 0 0 2006-07-25T11:53:31 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p34.htm#38204 Just had this issue as well with the source file showing as the error when actually it was a permissions problem on the destination file.<br /><br />sent me up the garden path for a bit.... dzeimer 0 0 2005-08-01T21:46:06 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p34.htm#34625 Searching for this error in Google ("Attribute validation error for tag CFFILE") shows that people get this error intermittently, event when the source and destination exist, which is what I'm observing on a local CFMX server. Someone suggested it has to do with a file lock (?). 0 0 2005-06-06T20:22:38 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p34.htm#23702 I found that I get the source value is invalid when actually it's the destination that is invalid. The error message points you to the wrong parameter. Also, the user that ColdFusion is running under must have write permissions in the directory and for the file (and modify on the file if you want to change the attributes). To overwrite the file you simple set nameconflict="overwrite" in the cffile tag. jim1234 0 0 2004-11-09T11:59:18 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p34.htm#22129 Error Occurred While Processing Request <br />Attribute validation error for tag CFFILE. <br />The value of the attribute source, which is currently "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Docwf\StandardParagraphs\offrefdata1\ReferenceDataWorking.xml", is invalid. <br /> <br />The error occurred in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Docwf\StandardParagraphs\act_upload.cfm: line 13<br /> <br />11 : <cffile action="move" <br />12 : ATTRIBUTES="Normal" <br />13 : source="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Docwf\StandardParagraphs\offrefdata#n#\ReferenceDataWorking.xml"<br />14 : destination="ReferenceDataWorking<cfoutput>#DateFormat(Now())#</cfoutput>.xml"><br />15 : <cffile action="move" <br /> <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <br />Please try the following: <br />Check the ColdFusion documentation to verify that you are using the correct syntax. <br />Search the Knowledge Base to find a solution to your problem. <br /><br /> <br />Browser Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) <br />Remote Address 127.0.0.1 <br />Referrer <br />Date/Time 08-Oct-04 01:31 PM <br /> <br />Stack Trace (click to expand) <br />at cfact_upload2ecfm1752058874.runPage(C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Docwf\StandardParagraphs\act_upload.cfm:13) <br /><br /><br />coldfusion.tagext.InvalidTagAttributeException: Attribute validation error for tag CFFILE.<br /> at coldfusion.tagext.io.FileTag.move(FileTag.java:487)<br /> at coldfusion.tagext.io.FileTag.doStartTag(FileTag.java:228)<br /> at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage._emptyTag(CfJspPage.java:1876)<br /> at cfact_upload2ecfm1752058874.runPage(C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Docwf\StandardParagraphs\act_upload.cfm:13)<br /> at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage.invoke(CfJspPage.java:147)<br /> at coldfusion.tagext.lang.IncludeTag.doStartTag(IncludeTag.java:357)<br /> at coldfusion.filter.CfincludeFilter.invoke(CfincludeFilter.java:62)<br /> at coldfusion.filter.ApplicationFilter.invoke(ApplicationFilter.java:107)<br /> at coldfusion.filter.PathFilter.invoke(PathFilter.java:80)<br /> at coldfusion.filter.LicenseFilter.invoke(LicenseFilter.java:24)<br /> at coldfusion.filter.ExceptionFilter.invoke(ExceptionFilter.java:47)<br /> at coldfusion.filter.BrowserDebugFilter.invoke(BrowserDebugFilter.java:52)<br /> at coldfusion.filter.ClientScopePersistenceFilter.invoke(ClientScopePersistenceFilter.java:28)<br /> at coldfusion.filter.BrowserFilter.invoke(BrowserFilter.java:35)<br /> at coldfusion.filter.GlobalsFilter.invoke(GlobalsFilter.java:43)<br /> at coldfusion.filter.DatasourceFilter.invoke(DatasourceFilter.java:22)<br /> at coldfusion.CfmServlet.service(CfmServlet.java:105)<br /> at jrun.servlet.ServletInvoker.invoke(ServletInvoker.java:91)<br /> at jrun.servlet.JRunInvokerChain.invokeNext(JRunInvokerChain.java:42)<br /> at jrun.servlet.JRunRequestDispatcher.invoke(JRunRequestDispatcher.java:249)<br /> at jrun.servlet.ServletEngineService.dispatch(ServletEngineService.java:527)<br /> at jrun.servlet.jrpp.JRunProxyService.invokeRunnable(JRunProxyService.java:192)<br /> at jrunx.scheduler.ThreadPool$DownstreamMetrics.invokeRunnable(ThreadPool.java:348)<br /> at jrunx.scheduler.ThreadPool$ThreadThrottle.invokeRunnable(ThreadPool.java:451)<br /> at jrunx.scheduler.ThreadPool$UpstreamMetrics.invokeRunnable(ThreadPool.java:294)<br /> at jrunx.scheduler.WorkerThread.run(WorkerThread.java:66)<br /><br /><br />I'm getting this error even though the path is valid 0 0 2004-10-08T10:32:19 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p34.htm#21220 Can you please add a description of what happens if you try to rename the file to a file name that already exists?

We propose to replace the current example on this page with the the following example. If you have any comments on this example, add them to this page.<br /><br />Windows Example:<br /><!--- Source Document is readonly but when renamed it becomes normal i.e. not hidden or readonly ---><br /><br /><cffile action = "rename" source = "c:\files\memo\readonlymemo.doc" destination = "c:\files\memo\normalmemo.doc" attributes="normal"> <br /><br />Unix Example:<br /><cffile action = "rename" source = "#myWR#/memo/sample.txt" destination = "#myWR#/memo/other_sample.txt" mode="666"> lbryngel 0 0 2004-02-18T08:39:25 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p34.htm#3922 The same with me... Any rename-action failed. Is there a workaround? Thanx. 0 0 2003-11-19T03:20:48 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p34.htm#3836 I had the same problem with CFFILE RENAME. I was doing an upload then a rename, but found that the upload could change the filename and do it in one step.<br /><br />Its clear though that the rename doesn't work any more. Maybe it got fixed somewhare.<br /><br />Dave 0 0 2003-11-14T10:22:42 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p34.htm#2384 I am trying to use CFFILE + RENAME to change the attributes of a file, but it is not working?? Is it a bug?<br /><br /><CFFILE ACTION="RENAME" SOURCE="#mFile#" DESTINATION="#mFile#_Bad" ATTRIBUTES="Normal"><br /><br />It does rename the file but it does not change attribute...<br /><br />Thanks,<br />AZ aminz 0 0 2003-10-02T12:09:47
