cannot convert the value "''" to a boolean

In a fresh install, when I try to create a new project, I get the
following error:

An Unhandled Exception Occurred
An unhandled exception has occurred. Please look at the diagnostic
information below:

Any suggestions? :)

I replied to this yesterday. Not sure why it didnt show up here.

Are you running the lastest version from riaforge? what database are
you using?

I havent seen that error on any of my installs yet so this makes me
curious.

Russ,

I looked at your code:

line 37 of view/project/form : <cfif application.allowAnonymous>

So it looks like the application var is not set. Maybe you should
always check for boolean, like this

<cfif isBoolean(application.allowAnonymous) and application.allowAnonymous>

Sorry for the delay in responding:
Running 0.4.0 from RIAForge, most recent non-meta file modification
date is 10/4/2008 8:32:44 PM
I'm using MS SQL 2000, Coldfusion 8.0.1 Enterprise

One thing of note... in .sql files in the install, the MySQL version
has an insert into settings which the MSSQL and MSSQL 2005 don't have:

INSERT INTO `settings` (`id`,`allowAnonymous`) VALUES ('1','false');

I'm going to guess that's the problem.
