Flash Forms not working on LINUX server

coldfusion flash integration:

I'm experencing a problem with flash forms.

I developed a form that works fine on developer's edition (installed on my
windows laptop) but is not working on the production server (linux). The server
is up and working fine (as far as i know), but making some test I discovered
that flash form are not working at all (even the one-line, you-must-work type).

I cecked all server settings, but I did not found anything wrong.

Can someone help me fix this problem?

I'm also having a very similar problem. Only when I try to load the page I
see the following error: Error 500: flex/server/j2ee/cache/CacheFilter.

The form is very very basic and works fine with format xml or html - just not
flash.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Simple Flash Form</title>
</head>

<body>
<cfform name="simpleForm" format="flash" accessible="yes">
<cfinput name="name" type="text" label="Name">
<cfinput name="address" type="text" label="Address">
<cfinput name="state" type="text" label="State">
<cfinput name="zip" type="text" label="Zip">

</cfform>
</body>
</html>

Its not clear from what I've been reading on the Macromedia site if the
installation of the flex.war is required for all flash or just for
accessibility. I tried setting available to true for generate accessible swfs
in flex-config.xml but that didn't work.

Thanks

Linux servers are case sensitive. Perhaps there is an inconsistency somewhere.
I just ran into a similar situation with dynamically loading text into Flash.
The folder name was capitalized, but the reference to it in Flash was not. When
I fixed the capitalization, the text loaded on the production server. It had
worked perfectly in the test environment.

I am having a similar problem.

I did figure out one thing that may be part of the problem. Coldfusion needs
to know where to find the directory containing the cfform.js file. it defines
this with a setting in admin that defines the location of those files relative
to web root. But if you are doing multiple sites on one server, your web root
for some of the sites might not contain a reference to CFIDE/scripts. This can
be fixed by adding a few lines in httpd.conf to create an alias so
CFIDE/scripts is available from all sites on the server.

So I no longer get an error message and a hung page. But the forms are still
not working. Some sort of permission issue?
