I have been looking to get started with ColdBox, Coldspring and Transfer for quite some time and I figured now would be as good a time as any. However when I tried to deploy the CCTApp I had a bit of trouble with folder permissions. Specifically I needed to chmod the /model/definitions folder to 777 so the app could write to the directory.

Once the app could preform writes to the directory I had some random bowser lock-up where the page stopped loading… I reinitialized the application after a failed attempt at a page refresh and was greeted by a new error.

Being new to ColdBox and Transfer I had some trouble trying to locate a fix to this, however, I was able to finally track down the information I needed via the Transfer FAQ.

Generally this is caused because you haven't deleted your .transfer files that were generated by the previous version of Transfer.

Whenever you update Transfer it is important that you delete the previous version's .transfer files, as they may contain code that won't work with this version.

Removing the .transfer files from the /model/definitions had me back in action.

My issues with the sample application aside; I really have to hand it to the ColdBox team. The documentation Rocks! And the sheer number of sample applications really makes my transition from Fusebox to ColdBox that much simpler.
