Description Maria Drozdowska 2005-09-13 14:50:18 UTC 
I've been validating pages with extension .cfm over the last few weeks with no 
problems until this afternoon (September 15th 2005). Now when I try to validate 
a .cfm page, the doctype and character encoding is not recognised.

To check that it was just because of ColdFusion, I created a plain page with 
the extension .cfm
http://www.ncc.co.uk/test_validation.cfm 

I then saved the same page with the extension .html 
http://www.ncc.co.uk/test_validation.html 

The .html version produces a pass and the .cfm one fails. 
Looking at the extracts of code in the fail report, it seems as though it's 
picking up an error page from a w3 server. There's an IP address mentioned too: 
128.30.52.13 (a lookup shows this to be lovejoy.w3.org).

Thanks

Maria

http://www.ncc.co.uk/test_validation.cfm is an error page,

A problem was encountered trying to access the system registry. Error number

The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of 
(CFAPPLICATION), occupying document position (2:1) to (6:54) in the template 
file D:\wwwroot\Application.cfm.

Cannot reproduce. I suspect it was a configuration issue on the side of the coldfusion server.
