Re: Dreaded cfform issue

2009-06-03 Thread Gerald Guido
It looks like cfform.js is not being loaded. Make sure that the cfform JS files are being included. The fastest way to fix this (in case of an emergency) is to copy the /CFIDE/scripts/ directory to the root of your site or create that dir and copy over cfform.js and other related js files.

MSSQL has an embedded version that requires no install. I have not tried it with CF but it might be worth a look. H2 is another DB you might want to look at. Sava/ Mura CMS uses it for their Express version. Uses Railo to boot. Gotta love LGPL. Out of curiosity, what features do you require that

For what it is worth I googled Hacked By Fatal Error and saw something about shutting off WebDAV as well. I would also assume that the machine has been compromised. And if so they could have put just about anything in the box, including a root kit. If it were me, I would nuke the box from orbit.
