Is there anywhere I can get a detailed list of the ColdFusion
requirements for CFWheels? I'm looking at
http://cfwheels.org/docs/1-1/chapter/requirements but it doesn't
mention what tags it might need that might be restricted in a shared
hosting environment. I'm thinking CFwheels needs cfobject but my
hosting company restricts the following tags

CFOBJECT
CFREGISTRY
CFADMINSECURITY
CFEXECUTE

Suggestions?

CFWheels does not use any of those tags however it does use the
CreateObject function which is usually blocked by hosts as well.

I am currently developing a cfwheels app in a shared hosting
environment.
Here is my experience, rather traumatic at the time, but I eventually
sorted it out.

I had to comment out <cfobjectcache...> in the $objectcache function
in \wheels\global\cfml.cfm, Shared hosts have to deny cfobjectcache,
because using this tag will reset the cached queries for all the other
hosting accounts, which would slow down their websites.

When I upgraded to the latest version of CFW, I was presented with a
very nasty error which denied access to C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF
\cftags\component.cfc.
The hosting provider spent hours trying to fix the problem, but they
gave up.

Solution: I had to extend some CFW CFCs to zero byte dummy components,
which stops those CFCs from looking at the master component.cfc
(usually 0 bytes) in ACF8 whenever the GetMetaData() function is used.
My fix makes use of a bug (or feature?) in ACF8.
