title: how to clear cache and cached template pages in Coldfusion8 (Apache 2.2)
body: <p>I'm going insane here... my first day with Coldfusion/MySQL running on a local Apache 2.2.0 webserver. </p>
  
  <p>I have an </p>
  
  <pre><code> index.cfm
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>file, which I took and modified, replacing 20k of code with just</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;p&gt;HELLO WORLD&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I refresh the browser, the old index.cfm keeps coming up. No matter what I do...<br>
  - empty the file altogether<br>
  - disable browser cache<br>
  - clear ColdFusion Admin Panel Cache<br>
  - rename index.cfm to wtf.cfm  </p>
  
  <p>If I refresh.... same old index.cfm.</p>
  
  <p>All other files are updated once I change them. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Question:</strong><br>
  What am I missing? Must be Apache, because everything else makes no sense, doesn't it?</p>
  
  <p>THANKS for ending my index.cfm-misery...!</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong><br>
  I removed the whole application besides index.cfm. Refreshing now gives me <em>hello world</em>. I then added the Application.cfm, refreshed and I'm back to my full index.cfm... </p>
  
  <p>Application.cfm looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>... 
  &lt;CF_callLogin 
       datasource="dtb"
       TableName="table"
       UserField="user"
       ...  
   BGColor="FFFFFF"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So I guess this calls callLogin.cfm and passes along above parameters. Still I also deleted the callLogin.cfm after trying to edit it forever, so there shouldn't be anything.</p>
  
  <p>Still clueless...</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT2:</strong><br>
  Could be a <strong>cf cache_pages</strong>?
  I now removed all files in wwwroot\WEB-INF\cfclasses as per <a href="http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:54088" rel="nofollow">http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:54088</a> let'see if this helps.... doesn't :-(</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT3:</strong><br>
  Could be a <strong>cached template</strong>? - <a href="http://blogs.sanmathi.org/ashwin/2006/07/12/tangling-with-the-template-cache/" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.sanmathi.org/ashwin/2006/07/12/tangling-with-the-template-cache/</a> It is... See my answer below</p>
