Colm... A little research and I found I was both wrong and right. For a detailed technical description of the webserver connector concept, see this url (beware the wrap): http://livedocs.macromedia.com/jrun/4/JRun_Administrators_Guide/connectors2.htm
However, where I was wrong was in that ports in the 2900-3000 are the JNDI interface for Jrun... Java Naming Directory Interface. While I'm not sure exactly what it does, I suspect it has to do with the ServiceFactory subsystem, since JNDI can use used like a ServiceLocator... plus it's used as a portal to JNDI-based backend systems which can be queried just like SQL datasources. Fascinating. Anyway, I was right about how it worked and wrong about the port number. Your connector port number is defaulted to 51000... unless you've changed it manually, that's what it should be. You'll want to insure that IPChains lets that port number communicate too. I'm a bit confused about some things though... see below: On 4/24/05, Colm Brazel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jared, > > ta for explanation.

It will Break Things. And, actually, if calling an Apache-driven URL works for CFM pages, you're L-U-C-K-Y. It shouldn't, and you can't count on it. > > there may be a patch I need for mod_jrun.so Aye... see the above technote. > > I'm using the intrnal webserver, its cool the way CF communicates via the > proxy port, and you don't need to > symlink to cfm pages. This is where I get confused... are you using the internal webserver, or are you using Apache? Are you simply trying to proxy CFM files to the CFMX processor, or are you using the internal webserver for development? What's really cool is using mod_proxy and mod_http_proxy to forward CFM pages to CFMX without a connector. It's really pretty rocking. I got it working once, but I had my URLs off by a bit. I'd recommend checking in to it. > > only issue now is rebooting, I don't wish to have to reboot twice each time > I need to reboot, once to run the connector, then reboot again after the > connector runs? You shouldn't have to reboot anything at all. If your connector is working it'll start up silently like any other Apache plugin. If that's not how it's working you need to consider fixing it... I've been doing a lot of Linux/CF lately, so if you need more help than this, feel free contact me offlist to make arrangements.

Well, there's the CFFORM applets... cfgrid, cftree... they're free. :) I'm not sure of anything else because in general I've tried to avoid applets. They're slow, error-prone, JVM-sensitive, and... well... I lose control of things and base the success of the app on the client-side JVM. In general, I'm not liking that too much.
