Re: CF builder installer?

[Carl Von Stetten]

Doug,

I've reached out to Gavin to give him a copy of the installer (I have 
the Update 1 version of the Windows installer).  It's 32-bit only (there 
was no 64-bit installer for CFBuilder 2).

I'll send you a direct email with a ling to my Dropbox folder where I 
have a copy.

Re: expire application variable

[Carl Von Stetten]

Are you on ColdFusion 9+?  Why not use the built-in cache functionality 
(cachePut(), cacheGet(), etc.)?  If you are on ColdFusion 10+, you can 
even put related objects into a cache "region" and manually flush that 
"region" using CacheRemoveAll( region ) .

Re: Calling a Custom Tag Twice Duplicates Query Results?

Yup, "MX" was attached to the version numbers of both ColdFusion

Re: CF Builder 3 frustrates!!!

[Carl Von Stetten]

You can actually import your entire CFB2 workspace if you want (projects 
included).  By default (and on Windows), CFB2 put the workspace in 
C:\Users\Username\Adobe ColdFusion Builder Workspace. You can point CFB3 
to that same workspace if you want, or copy it into the one created by 
CFB3 (probably in a similar place).

At least that worked with the Thunder Beta version I have.

Re: Unable to add text to HTML HEAD tag

[Carl Von Stetten]

Rewrite the whole thing right now? No.  I would progressively replace CF 
UI tags with clean JS frameworks or custom JS as you touch each section 
of your application.  You'll find fewer and fewer people are using the 
CF UI tags and therefore less and less assistance available.  And most 
of the CF UI tag problems people seek assistance with are directly 
related to shortcomings/bugs in said tags that will probably never be 
fixed by Adobe.  Considering that the CF UI stuff is built on top of JS 
libraries that are several versions (and several years) old, you are far 
better off investing in implementing current versions of JS libraries 
yourself and reaping the benefits of the cumulative feature 
improvements/bug fixes of those libraries.

Just my $0.01 (inflation sucks, don't it)

Re: DW versions that supported CF

[Carl Von Stetten]

Bruce,

Good stuff.  And in case you didn't know, you can use the CFBuilder 3 
trial version until it expires, then it reverts to CFBuilder Express.  
So you can continue to use most of it's functionality until you are 
ready to make the purchase.

Re: DW versions that supported CF

[Carl Von Stetten]

Bruce,

If you can make it through the first two weeks using CFBuilder, you 
probably won't look back at Dreamweaver (at least for ColdFusion 
coding).  I was a long-time Dreamweaver user before switching to 
CFBuilder 2.  After a couple of weeks, I never opened Dreamweaver 
again.  And that was despite some of the little quirks of 
CFBuilder/Aptana.  The CFBuilder 3 beta seemed to be pretty solid (Adobe 
ripped out Aptana and rewrote the HTML/JS/CSS/CFML parser, code insight, 
code completion stuff), and is much faster and free of the quirks that 
annoyed me.  Plus you can add in any Eclipse plugins that are useful to 
you (I like the MXUnit and EGit plugins for Unit Testing and Git 
interactions, respectively).

Re: CFB3

[Carl Von Stetten]

John,

I'm not going to use those top 3 new features either.  But the 
performance is definitely vastly improved over CFB2 because they 
scrapped Apatana and rewrote the entire code insight/formatting parts 
for HTML/JS/CS/CFML.  And there's now a 64-bit Windows installer, so no 
more having to do the Eclipse + CFBuilder plugin thing.  They also 
incorporated Eclipse 4.3.1 (Kepler SR1) instead of the old Eclipse 3.7.2 
(Indigo SR2).

Re: ColdFusion 10 does not allow Access datasource

[Carl Von Stetten]

John,

The behavior you are describing with the ODBC service does not sound 
normal.  Have you looked around in the Windows event viewer to see if 
there are any error messages related to the ColdFusion ODBC Service?  
Isn't there also a second ODBC-related service for ColdFusion?  Is that 
one running?

They both may need to be reinstalled.

Re: ColdFusion 10 does not allow Access datasource

[Carl Von Stetten]

John,

Are you able to manually create a 32-bit ODBC connection to your Access 
database?  If you weren't aware already, you need to run the 32-bit 
Windows ODBC data sources applet from inside \Windows\SysWOW64 to access 
the 32-bit stuff.  If you can do that successfully, then try connecting 
to that 32-bit ODBC data source from within CF Administrator.

HTH,
-Carl V.

Re: CFC Not Returning JSON properly from an array

Are you doing SerializeJSON() in your CFC method, AND have

Re: Default Values for Built-in Function Optional Parameters

[Carl Von Stetten]

Byron,

That's the problem with positional vs. named arguments on BIFs.  I ran 
into this with a cross-platform app that needed to run on ACF & Railo.  
Railo supports named parameters for some BIFs (including cachePut() ), 
but ACF doesn't.  So I had to split my caching function into separate 
CFCs for ACF & Railo.  The line that runs cachePut() in ACF looks like this:

CachePut( id, val, "", "", "myregion" );

while the one for Railo looks like this:

CachePut( id:id, value:val, cacheName:"myregion" );

The empty strings for the two timeout arguments is acceptable on ACF.

Re: CF session management suddenly not sticking ...

[Carl Von Stetten]

I forgot about the persistence issue.  Personally, I consider the lack 
of session persistence to be a security benefit.  But not everyone will 
agree.

IIRC, unless you explicitly access CFID/CFTOKEN in your code, there 
shouldn't be any issues.

Re: CF session management suddenly not sticking ...

[Carl Von Stetten]

I think it was pretty clear that code he listed was being used solely to 
diagnose a problem he was experiencing **on a production server** and 
from **multiple client computers**, and that wasn't necessarily 
reproducible on a development server.  And I don't think the code was 
meant for permanent use.  So I think your assumptions and gruffness and 
were a bit off the mark.

Re: Upgrading CF9 Hotfixes

9.02 is not an update - it is a full install (see Charlie Arehart's blog

Re: danger in increasing PostParameterLimit ?

[Carl Von Stetten]

Chris,

I believe the "danger" involves the risk of the HashDOS issues that Pete 
elaborates on in his posts (which you cited).  Is your application 
public-facing or intranet-only (behind a corporate firewall)?  If public 
facing, then you have to weigh the potential for HashDOS vulnerability 
against the needs of the application.

Where are all those parameters coming from?  A single gigantic web form 
with more than 1,100 fields? A web service call?  If it's a web form, 
can the application be rewritten to use multiple form sections (like 
walking through a multi-page wizard) and send the form data in pieces to 
the server (maybe adding each section's fields to a session variable 
until the last page is completed)?

Re: per application settings

[Carl Von Stetten]

Eric,

I don't think ColdFusion mappings are involved when accessing files 
other than ColdFusion templates and components (.cfm and .cfc).  If you 
look at the source of your web page in your browser, you'll probably see 
that the URLs are still "/cup/images/image.png".  The web server then 
prepends the server name when handling the request.

You'll need to create a "cup" virtual directory for that host, and point 
it to where the mapping is pointing.  If the only purpose of the mapping 
is for URLs to static resources, you don't even need the mapping at all.

As a side note, is the application scope even available to make 
assignments before the onApplicationStart() function is called? Your 
application.cuproot variable may not even exist when the constructor is 
processing the  I am trying to set up some local mappings (CF9) and it doiesn't seem to

Re: Problem with data formatting in CFINSERT

[Carl Von Stetten]

If you move to MSSQL 2008 or newer, the varchar(MAX) nicely replaces the 
Access TEXT data type.  If you use the SQL Server import tools rather 
than the Access migration tools, you should be able to do "identity 
insert on" on auto increment columns and preserve their values.

Re: No directory deletion after cfcontent

[Carl Von Stetten]

I believe  effectively issues an abort after execution (at 
least the CF10 docs say so, not sure about CF9), so any code that 
follows the  is not executed.  You might be better off 
setting up a recurring scheduled task to do your directory cleanup.

Re: Does Windows 7 include SMTP server?

[Carl Von Stetten]

Joy,

Windows 7 (any addition) **does NOT** include an SMTP server.  The SMTP 
Mail Server icon in IIS Administrator is to point ASP.NET apps to a SMTP 
server elsewhere on your network (or a third-party SMTP server running 
on localhost).  This is equivalent to setting the mail server settings 
in ColdFusion Administrator.

So, like Dave Watts suggests, you might try Apache James.

Re: coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory get datasource names? cf10

Morchella,

You shouldn't be using the ServiceFactory stuff anyway, as that is 
undocumented and subject to change without notice.  Take a look at the 
Administrator API (provided that isn't locked down as well): 
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf364104-7fcf.html.
 
Take a close look at datasource.cfc.

Re: Does Windows 7 include SMTP server?

[Carl Von Stetten]

Joy,

At least two other people have already answered this question in your 
other thread.  Windows 7 does come with SMTP server, but it is not 
installed by default.  You'll have to install it from add/remove Windows 
Features.  You also need IIS6 Management Console to manage SMTP.

Re: How to Address Prompts for Java Updates

[Carl Von Stetten]

Just to add to Pete's comments: the prompts you are seeing are probably 
not for the Java JVM that ColdFusion is using; most likely it is the 
Java client JVM that is used by apps and web pages that have Java 
plug-ins.  To upgrade the JVM for ColdFusion, you'll need to download 
and install the latest Java SE JDK from Oracle - this JVM has additional 
server components that ColdFusion needs.  Once that is installed, as 
Pete said, you'll need to update the JVM path to point to the new Java 
SE JDK.  Again, you'll need to install all the hotfixes first as Pete 
stated.

Re: Best means of setting a library of reusable code

[Carl Von Stetten]

Rick,

I don't know if this will help, but I've read about people creating 
"proxy" CFCs in or below the webroot specifically for AJAX requests. 
Those "proxy" CFCs either extend the protected CFCs (the ones outside 
the webroot) or have functions that call the protected CFCs through 
createObject() or other similar means (which breaks encapsulation, but I 
think that doing this was thought of as a justifiable exception to 
encapsulation).  You would still need to create mappings to the CFCs 
that reside outside the webroot, but you likely would have to do that 
anyway if you use the same CFCs elsewhere in your application.

Re: ColdFusion 11?

[Carl Von Stetten]

While the tempo of software releases in the industry has increased, it 
has in many cases created a backlash.  IT departments are struggling to 
keep up with installing updates to enterprise systems.  Look at 
ColdFusion as an example.  How many organization have bothered to 
upgrade to ColdFusion 10?  I upgraded my department's server to CF 10 
pretty soon after it was released, but our IT department only recently 
upgraded their CF server to CF 9 from CF 8 - and AFAIK they have no 
plans to upgrade to CF 10. Surveys others have taken across the CF 
community indicate very few organizations have upgraded to CF 10, and 
many are still on CF 7 and CF 8.

Microsoft has significantly reduced the time between releases for SQL 
Server.  Again, many organizations are way behind installing the new 
releases.  I just upgraded my servers from SQL Server 2005 to 2008R2 
within the past year, and 2012 was already available.  Our IT department 
is still on SQL Server 2005, and I don't think they are planning on 
upgrading to any of the more recent releases any time soon.  Again, I 
think this is probably pretty typical of many organizations.

If ColdFusion was on an annual release cycle, how many organizations 
would actually upgrade annually?

Re: Adobe no longer supports ColdFusion??? Really?

[Carl Von Stetten]

One weird thing I noticed when installing Dreamweaver CC: it actually 
stopped mid-install and made me shut down my ColdFusion 10 services 
before I could proceed any further.  If ColdFusion is no longer 
supported in DW, why would it be checking for and stopping if ColdFusion 
is running?

Re: (ot) .NET vs. CF

Justin,

As a one-time Java BlueDragon user, I'd say the .NET version is the only 
reason I'd use BlueDragon over ACF at this point.  They have fallen way 
behind in comparable feature support (last time I checked they were 
about equivalent to ACF 7/8).

Daniel,

What version of ColdFusion are you running?  Maybe you can upgrade the 
JVM to a newer version that has updated DST settings?  I think the 
start/end dates for DST in the US were changed in 2007, while Java 1.4 
hasn't been current since around 2004.

Re: Creating indexes on cdata and cglobal tables?

[Carl Von Stetten]

Indexes can become fragmented over time, however.  If you add the 
indexes and note degradation of performance after a while, then you may 
need to look at rebuilding indexes and statistics.  If you are using SQL 
Server, there are tools built-in to set up automated maintenance plans 
which can include index rebuilding.

Re: Installing CF 10 Updater 8

Rick,

It might work pretty well under other OS's.  But there are a number of 
people (myself included) that have had issues on Windows 7/Windows 
Server 2008.  I think there are issues with Windows UAC and other 
permission controls.  The only workaround aside from doing the 
command-line install is to put the ColdFusion service account into the 
local Administrators group whenever I install updates.

Rick,

What OS are you on?  If Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008, you might want 
to try downloading the hotfix (but not installing) using the Server 
Update tool, then installing the update using this Adobe Docs 

 
page.  I just tried following it and all of my previous update angst was 
resolved.

Re: Coldfusion 10 automatic updates not working

[Carl Von Stetten]

That's exactly what I was suggesting you do.  After you set the 
ColdFusion service to run as your account, did you stop and restart the 
service?  That is necessary for the Administrator permissions to be 
granted to the ColdFusion service.  Then, after the updates are 
installed (assuming they do install successfully), switch the service 
back to the local system account and stop/restart it again.

Since you are running as local service, is this your local development 
machine or your production server?  Just curious.

Re: Coldfusion 10 automatic updates not working

[Carl Von Stetten]

Steven,

I guess I should have added that once the updates are installed, remove 
the service account from Administrators.  And this solution is only a 
workaround, mind you.  I don't believe this **should** be necessary, but 
it has been for me.

I've followed the lockdown guides, including granting the ColdFusion 
service account "full" permissions to the entire /ColdFusion10 folder 
structure.  Updates since update 2 have not installed without installing 
with "Administrator" group rights.

Re: Coldfusion 10 automatic updates not working

[Carl Von Stetten]

This is a common issue reported on the Adobe ColdFusion forums.  The 
only solution I have found to work reliably for me (and I'm on the same 
OS and web server) is to make sure that the service account ColdFusion 
is running under is a member of the local Administrators group.  You may 
also want to restart the ColdFusion service after putting the account in 
the Administrators group.

Re: ColdFusion license

[Carl Von Stetten]

Pradeep,

On the question of the license key: yes, you use the same license key on 
test and staging.

I'm not aware of a way to limit the number of cores that ColdFusion has 
access to.  If you virtualize your servers with VMWare vSphere, you can 
limit the number of cores each virtual machine can use, thereby limiting 
how many cores ColdFusion can use.  I've not used the Windows HyperV, so 
I can't comment on whether it can be similarly configured.  If you have 
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition, you are entitled to run up to 
four virtual machines under one license (provided you have at most two 
physical processors in the server).

HTH,
-Carl V.

Re: table (rows...)[...]not indexable by 1 -- error

[Carl Von Stetten]

I think you can remove all of the references to "[getEmployeeList.currentrow]" 
in your  tags.  Since you are looping through the query with , any 
place you reference "#getEmployeeList." you will get only the value of that 
field for the current row.

Re: form-post to SQL-insert creates double-entry

[Carl Von Stetten]

If you add a "name" attribute to your submit button:



then when the form is submitted, there will be a corresponding "submit" 
key added to the form scope.  Then, as others have suggested, wrap your 
query in:

 //Your query here


Again, as the others have stated, this will cause the query to only be 
executed if the form is actually submitted, rather than on every page load.

Re: JRun errors after security patch install

[Carl Von Stetten]

Terry,

I assume you are referring to the latest patch released earlier this 
week.  Since it was a cumulative patch, it included some previously 
released security improvements as well as the new ones.  One of the 
older security improvements was to add a "Post Parameter Limit" setting 
to prevent denial of service (DOS) attacks using hash algorithm 
collisions.  You can find details of the issue here 
. The 
default value for this new setting is 100, but you can increase it if 
you need to.  Instructions to do this can be found here 
.

Re: CFERROR Handler

[Carl Von Stetten]

ColdFusion can only route runtime errors to an error handler (your soft 
error).  Compile errors (such as invalid tag names) can't be interpreted 
by ColdFusion and cause a "hard error".  Not much you can do about that.

Re: CFMAIL Not getting to mail server

[Carl Von Stetten]

If the mail log doesn't show the messages as being bounced and 
undeliverable (and the messaged don't end up in the cfmail\undelivr 
folder in your ColdFusion install directory), then the problem is likely 
with your downstream mail server, not with ColdFusion.  Did you 
propagate the same SMTP server settings from your CF7 install to your 
CF9 install?

Re: cfdirectory

[Carl Von Stetten]

This should work, so you need to address the rights issue.  What Windows 
user account is the ColdFusion service running under?  If you have it 
running as a specific Active Directory account, you need to modify the 
fileserver folder to grant Read access to that account.

CF10 Solr Searches using Addresses

[Carl Von Stetten]

I have a ColdFusion 10-based GIS application with a search form. One of 
the searches that can be performed is an address search. Address data is 
stored in an enterprise database that I can't alter, so I have to work 
with it the way it is.

Addresses are broken apart into six separate database columns, not 
counting the city, state or zip code.  Not every address uses every one 
of the six columns, but some use as many as five of them.

Anyway, the search form currently is rather cumbersome as users have to 
enter pieces of the address into different form fields.  It works, but 
as I said, it's cumbersome.

I decided to try to see if I could use Solr to do more intelligent 
address searches from one form field, ala Google or Yahoo maps.  I 
created a collection on my dev server.  I wrote a query that assembled 
the six pieces into a single address column, then used  to put 
the query results into the index (I put the address column into the body 
attribute of ).  Last, I wrote a simple one field form to 
perform the search.

This seems to work, but it pulls back a horrifically large amount of 
results of dubious match quality.  For example, a search using "1234 
Main St" (fictitious example address to protect the innocent) returned 
34,040 rows out of 123,000 address records.  The reason? It's finding 
matches to any single piece of the search string.

 From the ColdFusion docs, it looks like I might be able to tighten up 
the search results by prefixing each "piece" of the search criteria with 
a "+" character.  However, that will force exact matches (except when 
the street name is also the city name, such as Oakland Blvd in the city 
of Oakland), and I'd like to keep a little bit of "fuzzy" search 
capability for typos and such (like Google does).

Has anyone played around with parsing addresses and assembling an 
optimized Solr search?  I'm hoping to save some time on experimentation.

Thanks,
Carl V.

Re: calling coldfusion page from SSIS package

[Carl Von Stetten]

It would probably be easier to have your CF scheduled job either 1) log 
an entry in a database table with a success code and timestamp, or 2) 
write an entry to a text file that SSIS can read.  Then update your SSIS 
package to check the table or text file for the success code before 
proceeding.

HTH,

Re: Mailing list for Responsive and Adaptive Web Design

[Carl Von Stetten]

Rick,

I think you'll find that most of the HoF lists you mentioned (aside from 
CF-Talk) have very limited participation recently - suggesting that 
people are generally going to other lists or forums for support and 
discussion on those topics, because the communities are larger and more 
likely to have members with adequate experience to answer questions.  
Many of the HoF lists were created before established communities or 
forums were available elsewhere.

If you look a some of these HoF lists, you'll see what I mean:

*List**
*   *Posts in 2012**
*   *Last Post**

To be honest, my primary reason for joining HoF was for CF-Talk, which I 
try to stay active with.  I subscribe to the ColdFusion-Builder list for 
occasional support (although I'm starting to use the Adobe forum more 
and more), and to the SQL list mainly to offer assistance when I can.  
If I have a SQL issue, I hit the Google or a couple of SQL Server 
specific groups (SSWUG, MSSQLTips, SQLServer Central).

Re: (ot) How compatible is SQLServer 2012 with SQL Server 2005 databases?

[Carl Von Stetten]

Mike,

I think that each database has a setting for "compatibility level" (go 
to the Properties dialog for the database, then the "Options" tab, it's 
at the very top).  As long as you leave this at "SQL Server 2005 (90)", 
you should be able to run the same database on 2012.  I don't have SQL 
Server 2012 yet, but I do have 2008 R2. Here is an excerpt from the help 
docs for 2008 R2, under "Alter Database Compatibility Level":

This is followed by a long table that explicitly states the differences 
in compatibility from previous versions.  I'm assuming the docs for SQL 
Server 2012 would have something similar.

Re: CF10 on Win7

[Carl Von Stetten]

Russ,

My experience with Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2 and ColdFusion 9 
Standard Edition has been that when a new site is added in IIS, **none** 
of the ColdFusion connectivity works without some intervention (and I'm 
not just talking about the CFIDE vdir).  The only thing that has 
consistently made IIS and CF "play nice" has been to re-run WSCONFIG.  
Typically I will run WSCONFIG and remove the "All Sites" connection, 
restart IIS, then re-run WSCONFIG to re-add "All Sites".  I have 
occasionally just added the individual new sites as well.

The point is, for me, that running WSCONFIG has been absolutely 
necessary to get new IIS web sites "wired up" properly.  Your experience 
may be different.

-Carl

Re: CF10 on Win7

[Carl Von Stetten]

Russ,

True, as I said, the underpinnings between CF9 and CF10 are different.  
But the issue of having to re-run the connector tool to add ColdFusion 
functionality to new IIS web sites is common to both (even if what the 
connector tool is doing "under the covers" is different between the 
versions).  This has been my experience over the past few years working 
on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2.

Re: CF10 on Win7

[Carl Von Stetten]

Chad,

Yes, new websites added to IIS after running the connector tool do not 
automatically receive all of the necessary "hooks" to properly handle 
ColdFusion files.  You have two options when re-running the connector tool:

 1. Remove the "all web sites" connection and then re-add it. This may
require multiple restarts of the connector tool and IIS.
 2. Simply add the new sites individually in the connector tool.

While the underpinnings of ColdFusion 10 are different from previous 
versions (Tomcat instead of JRun and different IIS connectors), I think 
this process of connecting IIS web sites is pretty similar.  I seem to 
recall having the same issues when I added ColdFusion 9 web sites to 
IIS, especially on IIS7 (Windows 7) or IIS7.5 (Windows Server 2008 R2).

Re: CF10 on Win7

[Carl Von Stetten]

Chad,

Every IIS host that serves ColdFusion content needs the jakarta virtual 
directory.  It sounds like you didn't rerun the web connector tool after 
you created your "foo" site.  Run the web connector tool and connect 
ColdFusion to your "foo" site.  This will add the jakarta virtual 
directory, and configure the IIS request handler.

The reason http://foo/ worked is that IIS is falling back to the global 
CF wildcard handler to route the request through CF.

HTH,

Re: Problem with Authentication on IIS 7.5 & Scheduled Task

[Carl Von Stetten]

Dave,

On my previous Win2K3 server, the only way I was able to get scheduled 
tasks to run properly was to allow anonymous access to the subfolder in 
the application which stored the scripts for scheduled tasks.  This 
worked fine for several years on the old server.

I was trying to do the same thing on the new Win2K8R2 server (IIS 7.5).  
The application requires NTLM authentication, but I haven't been able to 
get the scheduled tasks to run.  Even when I hit the scheduled task 
pages directly in a browser (Firefox and Chrome), I am prompted to login 
with Active Directory credentials.  I also tried turning the subfolder 
in question into a virtual application in IIS 7.5 but that didn't seem 
to make any difference.

Anyway, as you indicate, it appears that under IIS 7.5 you can't open a 
"security hole" (my quotes) by allowing anonymous access to a subfolder 
in a site requiring authentication.  So my workaround is to create a new 
site just for running scheduled tasks, and have that entire site allow 
anonymous authentication (thanks also to Russ who kinda suggested 
this).  I am now able to get these scheduled tasks to run properly.

Thank you Dave and Russ for your suggestions!

Re: Problem with Authentication on IIS 7.5 & Scheduled Task

[Carl Von Stetten]

OK.  I created a local Windows user account named "SchedTasks".  I gave that 
account read permissions to the folder.  I set Anonymous Authentication to 
"Enabled" just for that folder, and set the credentials to use the SchedTasks 
account.  In the CF Scheduled Task, I specified SchedTask for the username, and 
filled in the correct password.  I still get the 401.2 error when running the 
scheduled task.

Re: Problem with Authentication on IIS 7.5 & Scheduled Task

[Carl Von Stetten]

Since this is a new server setup, I don't have another site to compare to.  I 
do have this working on an older Windows Server 2003/IIS 6, but things have 
changed a lot in IIS 7.5.  I've checked all the settings in the web server 
config files (and they look correct), restarted IIS several times, and even 
rebooted the server, all to no avail.

Re: Problem with Authentication on IIS 7.5 & Scheduled Task

[Carl Von Stetten]

Russ,

Cached login might be right.  I just tried the URL in Firefox, and was prompted 
to login.  I think the security of the site is superseding the security I am 
trying to set on the subdirectory.  Maybe I'll create a special site on this 
server just for scheduled tasks, with anonymous authentication enabled.  I'll 
post back with the results.

And yes, CF is running under a custom Active Directory account that has been 
granted rights to the entire directory structure, so it should be able to 
access the file in question.

Thanks,
Carl

Re: Problem with Authentication on IIS 7.5 & Scheduled Task

Digging a little more into IIS (by the way, I Googled IIS 7.5 stuff for a while 
before my initial post) - I checked the "Authorization Rules" for the 
subdirectory in question.  I changed the Allow rule to include "All anonymous 
users" instead of "All users".  Didn't help.

Problem with Authentication on IIS 7.5 & Scheduled Task

[Carl Von Stetten]

I have ColdFusion 10 running on Windows Server 2008R2, using IIS7.5 as web 
server.  I have an intranet application configured to use Windows 
Authentication with NTLM, which works very well.  However, I have an issue with 
executing scheduled tasks.  The files are part of this same application, but 
are located in a nested subdirectory under the webroot.  On this subdirectory, 
I have turned off Windows Authentication and turned on Anonymous Authentication 
(using the built-in IUSR account).

When I try to run any .cfm files in this subdirectory via a scheduled task, I 
get a "401.2 - Unauthorized" error.  However, if I run the files from a web 
browser, even when logged in as a non-domain user, the .cfm files run without 
issue.

I've checked the permissions on the subdirectory in question, and all of the 
relevant accounts (the Active Directory account CF runs under, the local 
account created for the application pool, and the built-in IUSR account) have 
permissions to read from that subdirectory.

I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong.  Anyone have any 
ideas?

Thanks
-Carl

Re: ColdFusion 10 Administrator Javascript Errors

Russ,

Thank you for the suggestions.  I just figured it out.  On my IIS site, I

URL filtering per the lockdown guide).  Once I removed it, all is well.

ColdFusion 10 Administrator Javascript Errors

[Carl Von Stetten]

I just installed the 64-bit version of ColdFusion 10 on Windows Server 2008R2.  
I tried to do the install as close to the CF9 Server Lockdown Guide as 
possible, given that CF9 and CF10 have different underlying engines (CF9 is 
JRun and CF10 is Tomcat, in the Administrator CF9 used Java applets for file 
browsing and CF10 uses jQuery and JavaScript UI components).

Anyway, things seem to be working fine for the most part, except that some of 
the ColdFusion Administrator functionality is broken for me.  Any place that 
requires using the new jQuery file browser throws script errors.  For example, 
when trying to specify an alternative JVM path, clicking "Browse Server" 
results in the error "jQuery is undefined" (see 
http://screencast.com/t/GQMZ1cdLJy ).  Of course, jQuery.js is in the same 
folder as the offending script (jqueryeasing.js), so this makes no sense.

Anyone encountered this before?

Re: Maximum Post Variables

[Carl Von Stetten]

Paul,

Take a look at the 9.0.2 release notes: 
http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/release-note/coldfusion-9-0-update-2.html

The "Maximum size of post data" is for the size (in MB) of posting data 
and/or files in a post request, not the number of parameters allowed in 
a post request.  You'll need to edit the neo-runtime.xml file per the 
release notes to increase the number of parameters allowed.

Re: ON-THE-FLY FILTERS

[Carl Von Stetten]

Larry,

Might I suggest a little bit different approach?

Instead of storing the whole WHERE clause in a session variable, store 
only the string you need to use for filtering.  In your session 
definition code (likely onSessionStart() in Application.cfc):



Then modify your query:
SELECT tblY.fldX
FROM tblY
WHERE 1=1

 AND tbly.fldA = 


This protects your SQL database from SQL injection (as Matt Q. alluded 
to).  If you haven't changed session.F from the initial blank string, 
the query will return all records.  If you update session.F to contain 
an actual value, then that string will be used to filter the records.

HTH,
Carl

Re: Variables

[Carl Von Stetten]

Also, be careful using "var" as a variable name.  It is a reserved 
keyword in ColdFusion.  As Scott mentioned, you can make a variable 
local to a function by calling it local.varname.  You can also make it 
local to a function by using the "var" keyword when you create the variable:

Re: CF9 no longer recognizes virtual directories on IIS after install of Apache

[Carl Von Stetten]

Dave,

Have you checked the permissions on the folder the Virtual Directory points to? 
 Is directory security in IIS on the Virtual Directory set to "Enable anonymous 
access" with an account that has Windows permissions on that remote folder, or 
does each user that connects to your site use NT permissions that grant them 
access to that remote folder?

-Carl

Re: Help with REFind and Insert()

[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:



HTH,

Rex,

I think cf_abort is a custom tag, not a UDF, so it would not be called 
using cf_abort().

Re: [5] RE: cfspreadsheet issue when reads dates from spreadsheet

[Carl Von Stetten]

The only thing I might add is that if you are on CF9, you might consider 
using the new in-memory virtual file system (VFS) to write your new 
spreadsheet and read it back in (might improve the performance if the 
spreadsheet is large).

Re: ORM global event handler

[Carl Von Stetten]

Maybe an issue with the case of your function calls to setCreated.  For 
example, you check if the arguments.entity has a "setCreated" method, 
but you try to call using "setcreated" (notice the "c" in created is not 
capitalized).

That looks like a IPv6 address, rather than the #.#.#.# IPv4 addresses.

Re: DirectoryExists sometimes returning incorrect value

[Carl Von Stetten]

It may be more than a style preference.  I'm not sure that "No" as a 
string value is always equivalent to a true/false boolean value.  My 
suggestion was intended to help identify if that might actually be your 
issue.

I've experienced intermittent issues with FileExists and trying to 
delete files in similar logic as yours.

Re: DirectoryExists sometimes returning incorrect value

Since DirectoryExists returns a true/false, you don't need the IS "No" 
part of the statement.  Also, DirectoryExists expects you to pass it a 
variable, so you don't need the quotes and pound signs around 
variables.dirpath:
