Subject: RE: [plum] Context validation error for tag cfcase
::: Further investigation reveals the *real* problem :::
Adam's discovery that the custom tag file was in fact missing
a large body of code got me thinking: how could that have
happedend? Was it in fact the lockup/reboot I experienced
this week or something else? And why was the app working for
me locally but not remotely?
So I went back and started looking at file sizes between my
local dev server and the remote dev server and FOUND A DIFFERENCE.
The custom tag file, ValidateInput.cfm is 11kb on my local
machine and is 3kb on the staging server. How could this be?
I had simply FTP'd the entire folder last night.
Well last night around 6-to-9 PM when I was uploading the
project files I was experiencing noticeable, and often
extreme, slow transfer rates. I had contacted the system
admin at the staging server but he didn't know why the rates
were slow.
Well this morning the sys admin reported to me " There seems
to have been an "Internet-wide" outage/slowdown earlier,
possibly caused by a Sprint fiber cut two days ago and them
trying to get back up to speed. "
All of a sudden it made sense, there must have been a problem
during my FTP process and I was unaware of it because the FTP
request did finish.
And then when I tested the site this morning and got the
error that only occurred there and not locally my first, and
only, thought was that there must be something different in
the two environments. I had assumed that the files were the
same when in fact they weren't.
And so that old adage about what it means to assume... comes
back to bite me. It almost makes me laugh remembering a
Microsoft Tech Support document that listed as Step 1: is the
computer plugged in? Step 2: Can you verify there is power to
the outlet?
And so, yes, I have learned something today about being
careful about what I assume to be the case, and how to do
some basic checks, as obvious as they may seem, before crying
the sky is falling.
My apologies and respectfully to all,
Dan Kaufman

Dan,
You have removed almost all of the code from within your
ValidateInput custom tag -- that's why it doesn't work anymore.
As I have begged and pleaded with you many times so far,
*PLEASE* institute a source code control application --
preferrably Visual SourceSafe from Microsoft. Source code
control is a necessary tool for every programmer so that you
can discover, eliminate, and recover from such problems on
your own. It's what we used to discover your problem in
about eight seconds.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but we simply can't
afford to support developers free of charge with such
intensity when they won't support themselves with tools that
are necessary to the trade. This is unfair to us as the ones
who foot the support bill, and it's unfair to others on this
list who are inundated with unnecessary problem posts.
Note the word "unnecessary"; we are more than happy to
support bona fide problems with using Plum as it is
supported, and when developers are taking the necessary steps
using the necessary tools to try to solve their own problems.
Respectfully,

Dan,
Please follow my instructions *EXACTLY* without doing
"something that's
just
like it" or "the exact equivalent" or anything different in
any way from
exactly what I'm instructing you to do:
1) FTP back down to your machine the custom tag from the
server that is
throwing the exception. Be very mindful of the exact
location to which
you
FTP'ed it on your machine.
2) Do *NOT* open this tag.
3) Email this tag as an attachment to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: [plum] Context validation error for tag cfcase
I have moved my Plum project "BCC" from my localhost dev
server to my
remote
staging server.
I am getting the following error when running /login/loginform.cfm
Context validation error for tag cfcase.
The start tag must have a matching end tag. An explicit end
tag can be
provided by adding </cfcase>. If the body of the tag is
empty you can use
the shortcut <cfcase .../>.
The error occurred in
C:\websites\bccdev\customtags\ValidateInput.cfm:
line
79
77 :
78 : <!--- Integer --->
79 : <cfcase value="integer">
Does anyone know what could be different in my staging
server environment
that might be causing this error? Believe me, I have not
opened the file
ValidateInput.cfm, so I'm confident this error is not a result of my
messing
with the Plum framework.
Thanks,
Dan Kaufman
