Thanks for your article David. It's an excellent guide and I've used to setup a test Ubuntu server exactly as you've described. All is working well, however, I've noticed an issue when clearing the session variable (for logging out of an application). Previously, I was able to do the following on a logout.cfm page: <cflock timeout=10 scope="session" type="exclusive"> <cfset structclear(session)> </cflock> and the session was cleared and the user is effectively logged out. This is no longer working with the session storage on Redis instead of in memory. It executes the code ok but is no longer clearing the session variables. Any idea why that would be or how to overcome it?

Aaah, no worries, I've fixed it by updating the code to: <cfset structclear(session)> <cfset sessionInvalidate()> Cheers, Jon
