subject:"Re\: help"


it seems like you are trying to treat a virtual directory as a separate
website, which will not work. you can only have 1 website in IIS on windows
XP.

A virtual directory is as the name a suggests a directory that is virtual
(not real) which points to a real directory.

so if your vdir is called test, then to access it you need to go to
http://localhost/test

You need to have IIS 7 Express to get multiple sites, which you can install
from the microsoft web platform installer.

Re: Help needed with CF10 developer edition on XP w/IIS

2012-12-11 Thread Andrew Scott


Virtual Directory and a 2nd website are two different things, so the
question I would now ask is that if you go to the IIS configuration
settings for the website do you see index.cfm as a default page? If not my
guess is that you will need to run the web configuration tool to get it to
apply the necessary settings for ColdFusion to run.

Now XP is very old hat, and I would suggest upgrading your OS. If that is
not an option then maybe look into something like VirtualBox which will
allow you to run a VPS in your system. Now the beauty here is that you can
install any *nix flavour that ColdFusion supports and it is at no cost to
you.

but first look at your IIS settings, my guess is that the Web Configuration
tool did not setup the website correctly. Even if it did, any time you
delete and remove websites from IIS you will need to re-run the Web
Configuration tool.

Now on another note, creating a Virtual Directory is also not a real
solution and only a temp solution. What I mean by that is that each time
you create a Virtual Directory, then the Website has access to all your
Virtual Directories. Which in itself is not a bad thing, just not a habit
that I would really suggest going down.

Re: Help needed with CF10 developer edition on XP w/IIS


Thanks, Russ  Sergey, for your info and suggestions. I was hoping to set
up CF10, IIS and SQL Server all on a single pc running XP. Looks like that
wasn't such a good idea. For now I just switched to using the built-in
webserver with CF10 which is just fine for my purpose.

2012-12-11 Thread Dean Lawrence

Stephen,

Just to clarify, IIS on XP does allow you to define multiple sites, it just
hides the create menu from within the gui and does not allow you to run
more than one at a time. However, you can create multiple sites via the
command line. I used to run a utility called IIsAdmin.NET (
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/10561/IIsAdmin-NET-Create-Multiple-Web-Sites-Under-Windo)
which does this for you and adds a taskbar icon that allows you to very
easily create and switch between the different site. I have never used
iis_multiplex,
as Sergey had suggested, but I would assume that it does something similar.

You can also use Apache, which will allow for multiple sites.  Vista and 7
enabled multiple sites in IIS.  I remember reading a blog post from the guy
that made that descion.  He said he has never seen so much hate mail as he
had seen just around that issue alone and said he would never make that
mistake again.

 Subject: RE: Help with creating a mobile website with CF


 Hi, Terry...

 My perspective, after creating a couple of real estate
 mobile sites which make heavy use of ColdFusion, is that ColdFusion
 has little to nothing to do with whether or not a site is mobile.

 ColdFusion simply puts content on the page in raw form.

 The work of making a site mobile is done mainly in the CSS realm.
 (CSS3 to be more precise...)

 I use HTML5, ColdFusion, jQuery, and CSS3 to design and develop my
 mobile sites.

 But before you start down the path of making mobile sites (smartphone)
 that are designed separately from their tablet, and desktop brothers
 and sisters, let me encourage you to delve into Responsive and Adaptive
 Site Design.  I think this is the future.  Not only does it make developing
 for multiple sized devices simpler, it allows you to keep all the sites
 or should I say adaptations of the site under one domain, instead of
 site.com for desktop, site.mobi, for another one of the versions, and
 m.site.com for another.  It becomes very difficult for site owners to
 promote all those domains and subdomains to customers.

 Responsive and Adaptive Web Design  Development, again, keeps everything
 under one domain and that also helps a lot with SEO/SEM.

 So, do some searching for Responsive Web Design and Adaptive Web Design,
 learn the distinctions (they're not that different), understand them
 and you'll be off to a good start.

 Just some thoughts to help you get start on a journey of change that I
 started about a year ago and am still working on getting figured out.

 Hope this helps!

 Rick

RE: Help with creating a mobile website with CF

2012-09-16 Thread Rick Faircloth


Terry,

I know, for me, that the first thing I look for, instead of all the facts
is a simple tutorial to provide me a basic understanding of the principle
involved
in any new work that seeks to change my thought processes.

I would suggest looking in to the first tutorial that I used to wrap my head
around Responsive Web Design... I found it at http://.udemy.com. (Short
for
U-Academy or Your-Academy. Perhaps you can get into outline of the course,
which comes complete with project files for you to view and work on, as well
as
an instructor explaining what you see in the code.

The tutorial is the construction of a basic responsive web site, from start
to finish.
It's found at http://www.udemy.com/creating-reponsive-web-design.
(Hopefully, you can
access this page without logging in. If not, just search the site for it.) I
think the
cost was $19 and you have access to it (at least, I did at the time) for a
year.

It was a really well-spent $19 for a simple, but complete intro to
responsive web design.

But after this, if you take the course, don't stop at understanding
responsive web design.
Definitely look in Adaptive Web design, because it is slightly different in
its approach
and looks to be more future-proof, with so many devices of varying pixel
density and
screen size constantly flooding the market.

I'm working on Adaptive Web Design currently, and from the looks of it, will
adopt that
approach, as opposed to Responsive Web Design.

Subject: RE: Help with creating a mobile website with CF


Hi, Terry...

My perspective, after creating a couple of real estate
mobile sites which make heavy use of ColdFusion, is that ColdFusion
has little to nothing to do with whether or not a site is mobile.

ColdFusion simply puts content on the page in raw form.

The work of making a site mobile is done mainly in the CSS realm.
(CSS3 to be more precise...)

I use HTML5, ColdFusion, jQuery, and CSS3 to design and develop my
mobile sites.

But before you start down the path of making mobile sites (smartphone)
that are designed separately from their tablet, and desktop brothers
and sisters, let me encourage you to delve into Responsive and Adaptive
Site Design.  I think this is the future.  Not only does it make developing
for multiple sized devices simpler, it allows you to keep all the sites
or should I say adaptations of the site under one domain, instead of
site.com for desktop, site.mobi, for another one of the versions, and
m.site.com for another.  It becomes very difficult for site owners to
promote all those domains and subdomains to customers.

Responsive and Adaptive Web Design  Development, again, keeps everything
under one domain and that also helps a lot with SEO/SEM.

So, do some searching for Responsive Web Design and Adaptive Web Design,
learn the distinctions (they're not that different), understand them
and you'll be off to a good start.

Just some thoughts to help you get start on a journey of change that I
started about a year ago and am still working on getting figured out.

Hope this helps!

Rick

Re: Help with creating a mobile website with CF

2012-09-15 Thread Russ Michaels


using CF is no different to any other language, you simply detect the
mobile browser and deliver content optmised for that, this is usually done
by having a separate theme fro the mobile content.
Most of the common off the shelf CMS systems have this fucntionality built
in, such as joomla, wordpress etc.
For CF, take a look at MuraCMS

Re: Help with CF file upload display

2012-03-08 Thread Raymond Camden


Your questions here a bit fuzzy. You want an admin page to see the
email form results... what email form results?

It sounds more like you want the ability to see what files were
uploaded by the person.

So you would need to ensure your file upload process stores the files
in such a way that you can later grab them in a bunch. In theory,
that's simple. Just create a unique group id for your form's
uploads. Then record each file with the group ID so you can fetch them
all.

 Any ideas on how I can get an admin page to display only the files associated 
 with each form submission? Thanks.

Re: Help with REFind and Insert()

2012-02-24 Thread Carl Von Stetten


The docs for REFind() say that the third argument should be a positive 
integer, default value is 1.

REFind() returns the position in the string where the matched string 
begins.  You'll need to add the length of the matched string (in your 
case, Len(url.terms) ) to this value to get the end of the matched string.

Try this:

cfset DocContents = Insert(#i#, DocContents, REFind(#url.terms#, 
DocContents, 1)+Len(url.terms))/

HTH,
-Carl

Re: Help with REFind and Insert()


 inserts the number in the wrong spot.

Insert adds the string *after* the given position, not before.  So you need to 
deduct 1 from the result of reFind()

Re: Help with REFind and Insert()


 REFind( url.terms, DocContents, ...)

Also the code probably will not behave as expected if you are searching for 
partial words.  Since you are searching starting from the beginning of the 
string each time, rather than the last occurrence.

Re: Help with REFind and Insert()


A lot depends on the search pattern.  But as you loop keep track of where the 
previous occurrence was found. Then start searching  *after* that position. 
Otherwise, refind will just return the first occurrence over and over again.  
You can use the fourth parameter of reFind to get the position and length of 
the string found ie  reFind(pattern, string, startPosition, 
returnSubExpression).  Then use those values to shift the starting search 
position forward each time you loop.

    
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-7e9a.html
 
Not highly tested, but something along these lines

cfset startAt = 1 /
cfloop index=i from=1 to=#ArrayLen(getMatches)#
    cfset found = REFind(url.terms, DocContents, startAt, true) /
    !--- insert *before* the matching string ---
    cfset DocContents = Insert( i, DocContents, found.pos[1]-1) /
    !--- shift starting position forward to ensure we find a *new* occurrence 
---
    cfset startAt = found.pos[1] + found.len[1] + len(i)

If you are looking for an actual support helpdesk as per your post
rather than a project/bug tracking system that other shave suggested
the only CF helpdesk I was aware of was cfticket, which seems to have
vanished.
www.kayako.com is the best helpdesk solution out there, but there are
various other free or open source solutions, probably not much in cf
though.

Re: Help with .NET DLL - Again...

2011-06-30 Thread Scott Stewart

Just out of curiosity,

1) What version of CF and
2) 32 bit or 64 bit OS
3) 32 bit or 64 bit dll

If it's CF 9.01 you need to update the .net connector as well, and
some manual configuration to get it to work..
Secondly there are issues with 32 bit dll's running in a 64 bit environment.

Hi guys,
I could use some advice. I'm trying to use some methods from a .NET assembly.
I'm instantiating it like this:

cfset DLL = #Expandpath('./')#\Aspose.Words.dll
cfobject type=.NET name=doc class=Aspose.Words.Document
assembly=#DLL#

If I dump the doc variable I see all the assembly methods. So far so good.

I recall that I need to call init in CF to invoke the constructor, but when I
do that (and pass a path to the document) I get the error:

Unable to find a constructor for class Aspose.Words.Document that accepts
parameters of type ( coldfusion.runtime.LocalScope ).

According to the docs
http://www.aspose.com/documentation/.net-components/aspose.words-for-.net/aspose.words.documentconstructor2.html
I believe that I need to pass a string.

In C# the example code looks like this:
Document doc = new Document(MyDir + Document.doc);

I was trying
cfset file = #Expandpath('./')#\test1.doc
cfset doc.init(#file#)
but receive the above error.

I admit I am a bit out of my depth here, but previously I have used similar
libraries successfully after some initial struggles and help from this list.

Any tips appreciated.

Stefan

 cfset file = #Expandpath('./')#\test1.doc 
 cfset doc.init(#file#)

Does #file# actually resolve to a string or a structure? Historically #file# 
was a reserved word like CFFILE.

Re: Help with .NET DLL - Again...

2011-06-30 Thread Stefan Richter

Thanks,
the server is 9.01 and I already have a very similar other DLL from the same
company working on the same machine. I believe I updated the .NET connector
previously after having some issues first time round.

The OS is 64bit Win 2008. I'm not sure about the DLL itself, it was not marked
as 32 or 64 bit. Any way to tell?

Regards

Stefan

 In a prod environment the OS will run about 1GB mem usage and 2K8 has
 this extra mem allocation caching trick which is really useful on hard
 working machines but you cannot allow much for that with only 4GB RAM.
 I'd say set the JVM for 2.5GB and 512 Perm and see how it flows (Look at
 mem usage in the Resource Monitor which you find in the Task Manager, if
 there is just a tad of Really Free Mem then you are fine.)

It is already the weekend here in Oz so I also assumed that the sites

Rob,

I've written a few blog posts on the settings in the JVM and provide some very 
loose guidelines as to what to tune and set.  Each server and application is 
unique and usually requires additional tuning beyond what the posts walk you 
through, but these will give you a good starting point and basic understanding.

 But now I could really use some advice on how to gear up quickly to handle a 
 ton of traffic on a cf9 site.  
 
 I can't really go into the details, but I have just inherited a cf9/SQL

 previously running on multiple servers using shared array.
 
 It's an impossible task, but I have to have this up and running this weekend. 
  So, I don't have any time or money for complex solutions.  I just need to 
 this all to stay up long enough to figure out a proper plan.
 
 Until then, here is my working plan.  Please tell me what you think.
 
 I have 4 cf9 standard licences, and four servers running win2k3 x86 (fairly 
 fast processors and 4gb ram each). I have a fifth win2k3 server x64 running 
 SQL Server 2005.  These servetrs are recent installs and do not have any 
 other sites on them.
 
 My plan is to load the site on all four servers, all pointing to the same 
 database server (it appears much of the queries in the site are cached)
 
 I would then set up round-robin DNS to do the poor-mans load distribution.
 
 Most importantly I am hoping some of the gurus here might have some jvm 
 tuning suggestions to help handle the load.
 
 Ok let me have it.  Is there any hope, or am I just hopelessly screwed?
 
 Rob

If you get 1 million hits per day and you should really do some load testing

In addition to other comments, it might be worth spending a minute
reading up on Squid:

http://www.squid-cache.org/

Caching some or all of the site could mean you can do the entire thing
with just 2 CF machines.  In my experience, the bottleneck for Squid
is not the OS or Squid itself, but the capacity of the network cards
in the machine.  It can handle ALOT of traffic.  The learning curve
required to implement this may or may not be within your time window.

  So, I don't have any time or money for complex solutions.  I just need to 
 this all to stay up long enough to figure out a proper plan.

 Until then, here is my working plan.  Please tell me what you think.

 I have 4 cf9 standard licences, and four servers running win2k3 x86 (fairly 
 fast processors and 4gb ram each). I have a fifth win2k3 server x64 running 
 SQL Server 2005.  These servetrs are recent installs and do not have any 
 other sites on them.

 My plan is to load the site on all four servers, all pointing to the same 
 database server (it appears much of the queries in the site are cached)

 I would then set up round-robin DNS to do the poor-mans load distribution.

 Most importantly I am hoping some of the gurus here might have some jvm 
 tuning suggestions to help handle the load.

 Ok let me have it.  Is there any hope, or am I just hopelessly screwed?

Thanks. I'll look into that.  Being a Windows guy, I am not sure how well
Squid and I would get along. :)

 is not the OS or Squid itself, but the capacity of the network cards
 in the machine.  It can handle ALOT of traffic.  The learning curve
 required to implement this may or may not be within your time window.

Robert,  1 million hits a day on a single CF8 or CF9 box of sufficient hardware 
is fairly easy to handle.  I would want some more redundancy. Having a hot fail 
over for the CF box and the SQL server would be a good idea.

Re: Help! Too much tracffic and too little time!


Well, I am thinking I will try one or two win2K8 servers.  Unfortunately, I
can't order any licenses until Monday.  And by then it will be too late.

Does anyone know if the evaluation version of Win2K* R2 in MS TechNet will
work temporarily as web server in evaluation mode (no license applied)?
That is: will a W2K* R2 server in evaluation mode allow all these
connections?

I know we are suopposed to use them in production, but I really would order
the licenses before I installed them and would apply the licenses on those
servers as soon as they came in.

I am hoping it is a minor sin. :)

2011-05-07 Thread Mark A. Kruger


Robert,

Get a fairly standard set of JVM args and duplicate them on all 4. Since
you are running 32bit you will be limited to a 1.3 gig heap size (max 1280m
would be a good starting space with a 256 meg perm size). Since you don't
have time to do anything else I'd say go for it and see what happens. The
only thing that worries me is sessions... are you confident that your round
robin scheme will work and there's no problem with user information
(sessions) crossing from one to the other... or not crossing as the case may
be :)

Another option (and I hope people don't flame me for this) is to set up a Railo 
server somewhere there, or at least a few instances on a box, then you can 
handle a lot of traffic with a smaller memory footprint. 

Just a thought.
