CF on Linux
Hi all, I'm a long time CF on Windows user who's thinking of dabbling with Linux as a possible future server platform. While my Cold Fusion skills are quite high, I'm a pretty basic Linux user. I can set up a box and know my way around the file system , but have never had to configure a web server from scratch. How does the CF install experience compare to that of Windows? Am I looking at hours of fiddling around with config files and pulling my hair out? Or will I be leaning back in my chair sipping daiquiris and pressing the 'y' key every now and then? The target platform I'm looking at if RedHat 7.3, running Tomcat. A client has specifically requested this config.. is it sensible? I've noticed that Tomcat isn't officially supported by MM, though they have a few technotes on the install process. Thanks, bye! --- Ryan Sabir Newgency Pty Ltd 2a Broughton St Paddington 2021 Sydney, Australia Ph (02) 9331 2133 Fax (02) 9331 5199 Mobile: 0411 512 454 http://www.newgency.com/index.cfm?referer=rysig [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Re: CF on Linux
Ryan, We run CF on multiple distros of linux, and it is very stable!More so thanWindows ever was for me. We currently have several servers running redhat 7.2, 7.3 and 9. We have a config similar to what you are wanting to do.Redhat 7.3 with CFMX 6.1 running on JRUN, but also running tomcat.I don't think you can run CF on top of Tomcat, but you can run Tomcat as another process on the server simultaneously.If you want to use verity, I would stick with 7.2 If you like I can config a virtual dedicated server for you with unlimited bandwidth for only $40 a month -- exactly how you want it...Personally I have been admining Linux for several years, and have really gotten into CF on Linux over the past 2 years. The install is very easy, but you need to know where the apache conf files are, and you need to know a bit about administering apache as well.There will definitely be a learning curve, but it is worth it...I will never admin windows again, unless a client insists of course...once you get the server up and running, you will be loving it...the uptime has been so much better on linux than it ever has been on windows for me. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help.Look up my contact info at http://exciteworks.com ( I don't post my email addresses here due to way to many spammers).

RE: Network
70 - 85 200k images per minute is 260k per second.which is approx 2080kbps (kilo bits per second).which is 2mbps (mega bits per second) So if you LAN is 10mbps it should cope! If you are using a Hub (not a switch) more users will result in more collisions and lower speed.on a application such as you outline I would expect a switch to help the situation considerably. A SCSI disk will no doubt help signfigantly also, as average seek time will be much lower (in practice) than an IDE device.

Re: Re[2]: Best Practices
I suppose it seems that since the url parameter is not part of the form itself, isn't it a GET, even when you've specified a POST as the method in the form? And incidentally, I wonder how it is handled if you send the same named variable in the query string and a form field with method POST... If it were 2 form fields with the same name, you would typically get a comma delimited list, but I suspect that it might not work that way with the query string and form field technique. - Calvin - Original Message - From: Jochem van Dieten To: CF-Talk Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 6:19 AM Subject: Re: Re[2]: Best Practices Calvin Ward said: However, it doesn't feel like it is a good solution.

HTTP requests can only have one verb, so a request is either a GET or a POST (or a HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT etc.). Please refer to RFC 2616 for details on the formal definition of HTTP. The presence of parameters in the URL is not related to the verb of the request. And incidentally, I wonder how it is handled if you send the same named variable in the query string and a form field with method POST... If it were 2 form fields with the same name, you would typically get a comma delimited list, but I suspect that it might not work that way with the query string and form field technique.

I suppose it seems that since the url parameter is not part of the form itself, isn't it a GET, even when you've specified a POST as the method in the form? No. If you look at the text of the HTTP request in such a case, the first line would look something like this: POST /myfile.cfm?foo=bar ... and your form fields would be in the HTTP request body. And incidentally, I wonder how it is handled if you send the same named variable in the query string and a form field with method POST... If it were 2 form fields with the same name, you would typically get a comma delimited list, but I suspect that it might not work that way with the query string and form field technique. You'd have to use the appropriate scope prefix to get to the one that you want, in that case.

Hello Ryan, I've been learning Linux on and off for the last year... I have 2 systems here that I have set up.

I took my time to install this, had a hard time finding drivers for my NIC... after the install I noticed I made a mistake in the config, so the next day I reinstalled the system completly, in a couple of hours, I was up with no problems.

RE: OT - Scsi hd
Go into your setup and create a driver disk. All versions of adaptec support this. I can't remember where in the setup it is but it is there. Once you have created the floppy when you reboot, put your Windows 2000 disk in to install 2000. During the install it will ask you for any 3rd party raid drivers. Press 'F6' at that time during setup. It will then prompt you for a disk. Insert the disk you created through the adaptec create disk utility in setup. It will read in the drivers and continue to do the 2000 install except now when you get to the drive designations to choose a base partition for the install you will now see your raid drive.

Re: Network
|| The images vary from 50k to 200k in size, and i am confused why that would slow down the network I thought a closed network in general is pretty fast.Is there any way to speed up the network?right now we use a 10/100mbps hub.and also i am wonderin how do u know if your network is running at 10mbps or 100mbps?? Are the images on a drive by themselves or do you have other things (i.e. DB, webserver files, or more importantly, webserver AND cf log files) located on the same drive. If you have your webserver logs on the same disk, every single request will require a read of the image file and a write to the log file on the same disk, which are undoubtedly stored on different parts of the platters and can cause substantial speed hits. I wouldn't think you are pushing your disk subsytem to the limits of its capabilities but it is certainly a possibility. Reading/Writing one large file will give you much higher performance then reading/writing lots of small files. andrew golden [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Re: Re[2]: Best Practices
Thanks Dave and everyone It works great! - Original Message - From: Dave Watts To: CF-Talk Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 8:37 AM Subject: RE: Re[2]: Best Practices I suppose it seems that since the url parameter is not part of the form itself, isn't it a GET, even when you've specified a POST as the method in the form? No. If you look at the text of the HTTP request in such a case, the first line would look something like this: POST /myfile.cfm?foo=bar ... and your form fields would be in the HTTP request body. And incidentally, I wonder how it is handled if you send the same named variable in the query string and a form field with method POST... If it were 2 form fields with the same name, you would typically get a comma delimited list, but I suspect that it might not work that way with the query string and form field technique. You'd have to use the appropriate scope prefix to get to the one that you want, in that case.

Re: Best Practices
I like the idea of just moving the url variable into a hidden form variable. Since the question is about best practices, would there be any reason not to set the url variable to a session variable instead? And if the goal is to reduce templates, I can see this whole process happening on a single template. Very roughly: If url.variable exists, set its value to the session.variable run appropriate queries based on that session variable ElseIf no url.variable but session.variable already exists run appropriate queries based on that session variable Else display a selection of reports as links that pass url.variable The advantage of this would be to let the user skip off to other pages then come back and still see the report without having to explicitly select it again. -Kevin - Original Message - From: Andy Ousterhout [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 9:53 PM Subject: RE: Best Practices If the user always has to click on a button to move to the next step, you may wish to place the reports needed in a hidden form variable rather then in a URL variable.You may find that this increases the clarity of the code, especially when someone has to come back to the page at a later date.

How to deal with RH 7/8/9 EOL [was: CF on Linux]
Josh Remus said: Just a question for those of you running CF on RH 7/8/9What are you doing (if these are production servers) to deal with the End-Of-Life of these products?We're confronting this right now, although not for CF. Of the firms I know of, there is only one where they worked with RedHat (not even for CF) but the consensus there is: nothing. It has been verified that the tool chain works so when the community stops producing RPMs it is possible to get the patch for whatever needs fixing and compile it. But that is not expected, because if the issue is serious the community will produce RPMs, and if it is not serious you can just ignore the patch. Long term there will probably be a move to Debian. If you are willing to invest a little bit in working with the community, community support is just as good if not better as commercial support anyway (with the possible exception of bugs that are boring and tedious to fix, but then you can scratch your own itch). Unless we are talking about mission critical, 'engineer onsite in 4 hours' support. But for that type of support you can get a specialized consultancy firm.

Verity problems
Hello, I'm having some problems with Verity that I thought perhaps someone may be able to shed some light on.I'm running CFMX 6.1 on RedHat 7.2 (with the compat-libstdc++-6.2 RPM installed for Verity compatibility). I indexed about 20 text files using the CF Admin and that appeared to be successful (there were no errors in the sysinfo.log file inside the collection). However, when I run a search (type = simple) against the collection I am always getting all 20 records returned.No matter what I put in the cfsearch critera attribute - even if it's a total nonsense string - I get all 20 records back.Furthermore, the result set has an empty string under the score column for each row. Can anyone offer some assistance here?I posted on CF-Linux also but it doesn't seem like I'll be getting a response on this one.Thanks so much for your help.

Unless we are talking about mission critical, 'engineer onsite in 4 hours' support. But for that type of support you can get a specialized consultancy firm.

Re:How to deal with RH 7/8/9 EOL [was: CF on Linux]

Re: CF on Linux
Stephen Moretti said: I keep getting recommended that I should go with SUSE the next time Iset up a linux box. (Instead of RH, particularly in light of recent events) Why do people recommend that to you? Because support for hot new technical wizz X is better? Because the installer has nicer graphics? Because if you call SuSe an actual human will pick up the phone? Because they have this great knowledgebase with everything you need? Because their support people hang out at IRC channel X where you have easy access to them? Because there is some substantial technical difference which makes SuSe better? Without specifying into quite some detail what you expect from a distribution, it is pretty pointless to compare them. And if you really want to go there, there are better places as cf-talk.

Production Server/Versioning
Hello Everyone: I'm getting to the point where I really need to start considering a production server and versioning. A little back ground first:It's a one-man shop, with the possibility of added programmers, and the occasional boss dipping in to make a quick fix.Everything's Windows 2000 (soon to be 2003) based, with MS SQL server.At this point, I have about 8 applications I'm working on simultaneously and need something to help sort things out. Everything at this point is done on the live server, just in a test or makeover directory or virtual domain.This has worked pretty well, BUT, I know I need to get something in place before we get someone else on board and the projects get even more out of control. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

CF4.5, CFHTTP, SSL.... anybody been able to get it to work?
Hi all, Rephrase of a question from yesterday... Got a whole bunch of CF servers across the uni and only one of them is CF4.5, all sitting in a DMZ. We have introduced a common login for LDAP and we can get all the CF5 servers to happily make a SSL CFHTTP POST call to the master server... apart from the CF4.5 one which gives a 'Connection Failure' error The script in question sits on a CF5 server and is called directly and uses cfldap to validate user against the LDAP. We can get this script to work between the servers on the Internal Network, but as soon as it is put in the DMZ, it just stops working... I've spent ages with the infrastructure geezers and they cannot see any reason why the CFHTTP call would not work (and we can browse to the script from the CF4.5 server no problem, so it does not *seem* to be a HTTP problem) I notice in the technotes that it says that CFHTTP was vastly improved when the 4.5 became 5 from them - cfhttp no longer adds an extra carriage return after the content length header when posting multi-part form data. (24915) Just about to give this a try, ie trimming all the form inputs but feel it's a long shot in a 'Connection Failure' error -CFHTTP.STATUSCODE now works on the Windows version of ColdFusion Server. Would this affect what we are trying to acheive? Argh. -dc [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Best Practices Business Rules CFC, Stored Procs, Constraints
As I learn more abort stored procedures and robust constraints I am becoming more confused about where business rules should be placed.Here are what I see as the pros and cons of various approaches and I'd appreciate all of your comments: 1.Constraints - Some business rules need to be placed in the database constraints to ensure the quality of the database.For example, every item in the database containing items ordered need to be related to one and only one order.The question becomes how far to take this.The advantage of putting rules in constraints are that they need only be set up once for each table. Also, once the table has been created, constraints provide the highest level of protection against programmer error.However, I see two potential tradeoffs.First, error reporting from constraint violations are not as user friendly as what can be provided if captured at the stored proc or CFC level. Second, only one error is identified at a time, so the select/update/insert/delete would need to be executed once for each property error in an object 2.Stored Procs - If the CFC's are only allowed to access tables via Stored Procs, then these provide most of the advantages of constraints with the ability to validate all of the properties at once.However, based off of the advice of many in this forum, I have switched to Using CFTrys and Throws to pass all errors from business objects layer to the presentation layer(sidebar: this has had wonderful effects on the size and clarity of my code.Thanks!). If I continue this approach to pass errors from data layer to the business objects layer, I don't see how I can pass multiple errors up with a single exception throw.I guess I could build one large message with br, etc Question:is there a significant difference in performance from a rule such as Date = Today being checked in Stored Proc vs. Constraint? 3. CFC Layer -- This approach gives me the most control in that each set method can throw a specific error about the associated property and the write method can validate any cross property rules.However, this forces an additional layer of calls(setBillToAddress on an order would need to execute a method in the address class which would call the appropriate stored proc versus setBillToAddress calling the stored proc directly), adversely impacting performance. So. If this is the case, it seems to me that the best architecture decision would be to use database constraints for those rules that are required to maintain DB integrity (e.g. primary and foreign key rules) and place most of the rest inside of stored procs.A few rules would still end up in the CFC layer that either make the code clearer by moving up or make a significant performance improvement by doing so. What are your thoughts on this? Andy [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Re: CF on Linux
Chill Jochem.Take a deep breath.

cflogin/cflogout
I've seen lots of discussion on the cflogin issues, but I haven't seen a resolution. Sounds like the same problem I'm having. It doesn't look like cflogout is clearing the old session. Login works fine on initial call - I'm authenticating against our LDAP server, then using cflogin and cfloginuser. I'm setting up session variables and setting my roles. I then logout. When I log back in, I get the same session variables and the same roles, even if things have changed. To further experiment, I used a StructClear(session) to get rid of all my session variables on logout. When I log back in, I get no session variables at all - they're built within cflogin. The cflogin tag is not executing - I can't get any code within that space to run unless I have recycled the MX server. I can't get it to output anything to browser. So I have to conclude that cflogout is not ending my session correctly. I have tried both cookies and session management to manage the user credentials - same problem. I'm running MX 6.1, (the developer edition,) on Windows 2000 SP3. Any thoughts or experiences would be most welcome. I can always write my own set of tags to do this, but what a waste of time when this new security framework is one of the 'big' features of MX.

Re: ADMIN: probs with archive?
Heh, stupid error. Basically, my caching system uses CFHTTP to grab the page and 'store' it in a flat file. There is a piece of code in it that will detect if the CFHTTP call fails and if it does, throw an error. The code checks for the text connection failure. Of course, that's what exists on the page due to the subject. This means until I altered the cache settings, it would never show the page. Ug. It works now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

RE: CF4.5, CFHTTP, SSL.... anybody been able to get it to work?
Is it just me - or do I seem to remember that cf 4.5 only supported 40 bit encryption? I had an issue like this waaay back when and what sticks in my head is that 4.5 couldn't handle the encryption level. Anyway - I assume that you have verified that the URL can be opened in a browser on that 4.5 server?Can you ping the address FROM the 4.5 server etc.Get rid of all the potential connection issues first - before jumping to the next level. -Mk -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 9:12 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CF4.5, CFHTTP, SSL anybody been able to get it to work? Hi all, Rephrase of a question from yesterday... Got a whole bunch of CF servers across the uni and only one of them is CF4.5, all sitting in a DMZ. We have introduced a common login for LDAP and we can get all the CF5 servers to happily make a SSL CFHTTP POST call to the master server... apart from the CF4.5 one which gives a 'Connection Failure' error The script in question sits on a CF5 server and is called directly and uses cfldap to validate user against the LDAP. We can get this script to work between the servers on the Internal Network, but as soon as it is put in the DMZ, it just stops working... I've spent ages with the infrastructure geezers and they cannot see any reason why the CFHTTP call would not work (and we can browse to the script from the CF4.5 server no problem, so it does not *seem* to be a HTTP problem) I notice in the technotes that it says that CFHTTP was vastly improved when the 4.5 became 5 from them - cfhttp no longer adds an extra carriage return after the content length header when posting multi-part form data. (24915) Just about to give this a try, ie trimming all the form inputs but feel it's a long shot in a 'Connection Failure' error -CFHTTP.STATUSCODE now works on the Windows version of ColdFusion Server. Would this affect what we are trying to acheive? Argh. -dc [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

check for isdefined('cflogin') and instead check form.whatever, whatever
being the form fields you are using (I'm assuming j_username and

RE: cflogin/cflogout
The locks are another attempt to save myself grief - I didn't think they were necessary either, but I'm at the point were I'm desperately trying anything.
I thought the way the cflogin tagged worked was that it would not execute if the cflogin structure was defined, as that was done automatically on including the j_ tags in the input screen. But I'll try that, and see if it works.

Also, I'd add debug messages. You say your roles don't change, but are
you sure it's not your query returning the wrong results?

RE: cflogin/cflogout
I did check my query, and it's working, though I had to put So the query returned the right, new roles, and you are sure you are passing it to the cfloginuser tag? in the loop to trim the results, as I 'm getting spaces appended by ValueList.

RE: CF4.5, CFHTTP, SSL.... anybody been able to get it to work?
Tried the following - CF4.5 Dev to CF5 Dev (internal) - all ok - CF4.5 Dev to CF5 Live (internal to dmz) = all ok - CF4.5 Live to CF5 Dev (dmz to internal) = doesn't work - CF4.5 Live to CF5 Dev (dmz to dmz) = doesn't work - CF4.5 http request to script = Does work but goes **through** the proxy (which is internal network and thus I'm not sure why their prod server is going through the proxy) After more discussions with infrastructure, they are now looking at the rules going on between the interaction of the two servers as I am running out of ideas for myself to try and thinking it _must_ be a firewall/port issue. it is their dmz server that just does not seem to want to work with CFHTTP... but it handles the normal browser HTTP request through the proxy so I am assuming that the CFHTTP is also going through the proxy. is this what is causing the failure?

Hi all, Rephrase of a question from yesterday... Got a whole bunch of CF servers across the uni and only one of them is CF4.5, all sitting in a DMZ. We have introduced a common login for LDAP and we can get all the CF5 servers to happily make a SSL CFHTTP POST call to the master server... apart from the CF4.5 one which gives a 'Connection Failure' error The script in question sits on a CF5 server and is called directly and uses cfldap to validate user against the LDAP. We can get this script to work between the servers on the Internal Network, but as soon as it is put in the DMZ, it just stops working... I've spent ages with the infrastructure geezers and they cannot see any reason why the CFHTTP call would not work (and we can browse to the script from the CF4.5 server no problem, so it does not *seem* to be a HTTP problem) I notice in the technotes that it says that CFHTTP was vastly improved when the 4.5 became 5 from them - cfhttp no longer adds an extra carriage return after the content length header when posting multi-part form data. (24915) Just about to give this a try, ie trimming all the form inputs but feel it's a long shot in a 'Connection Failure' error -CFHTTP.STATUSCODE now works on the Windows version of ColdFusion Server. Would this affect what we are trying to acheive? Argh. -dc _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

RE: Changes in a Directory CFDIRECTORY
Well w/o using a database you could write the directories contents to a file. Do an initial and place it in a sub dir or something. Then create a schedule page that take the contents of the initial file you created and compares it to what is currently in the directory. You could store the file contents as a list and the cfdirectory as you know is a query. If there are differences just send out an email to let people know what the differences are in the same scheduled file and then update the file to reflect the new directory content. Optionally you could write an audit file as well that is just for record keeping. That is, of course, if you don't want to create a db to store all this jaz in.

CFMail Send Problem
Hi All, I have a weird problem occuring with an email send out using CFMail 6.1 from a SQL2000 db.Seems that SOME recipients of the message get a blank/empty message body (subject line, to and from fields are OK).We've done some checking and it doesn't seem to be email client specific (for example, I've tested on Outlook 2002 and 2003 and AOL 9 with no problem, but we have others using Netscape 7.1, Outlook 98-2000, et al receiving blank messages). My thought is that there may be a problem with the charset encoding or with the syntax of cfsavecontent. Here's the process of what happens: 1) On the application.cfm page for the Admin area !--- URL and FORM encoding --- cfset setEncoding(FORM, ISO-8859-1) cfset setEncoding(URL, ISO-8859-1) !--- output encoding --- cfcontent type=text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 2) Message data from form field (enctype=multipart/form) insered to MS-SQL2000 3) Query retrieves data from SQL 2000, in particular the qMailMessage.txtMessage is the body of the message. 4) Message composition cfoutput cfsavecontent variable=VARIABLES.textCopy #qMailMessage.txtMessage##crlf# cfif qMailMessage.unsubscribeLinkID NEQ 1#Replace(qMailMessage.unsubscribeLinkText, Chr(10), #lf#, ALL)##crlf#/cfif cfif qMailMessage.signatureLineID NEQ 1#Replace(qMailMessage.signatureLineText, Chr(10), #lf#, ALL)#/cfif /cfsavecontent /cfoutput 5) Message sendout !--- Send out to the subscribers --- cfmail from=#VARIABLES.mailFrom# #VARIABLES.mailFromEmail# query=qSubscribers group=emailAddress groupcasesensitive=no to=#firstname# #lastname# #emailaddress# cc=#copyTo# bcc=#blindCopyTo# subject=#VARIABLES.subjectLine# failto=#VARIABLES.mailFailTo# server=#REQUEST.mailserver# cfmailpart type=text#VARIABLES.textCopy#/cfmailpart cfmailparam name=Reply-To value=#VARIABLES.mailFrom# #VARIABLES.mailFromEmail# cfmailparam name=Message-ID value=#CreateUUID()[EMAIL PROTECTED] /cfmail === Thanks, Mark [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

java/cf pool manager
Hi everybody. I asked this on the Macromedia forums too, but we'll try here and see who bites. We are connecting our CF (MX6.1) application to some Java classes on the backend. We are attempting to use PoolMan as our connection pooling manager in Java, and are running into problems. The code appears to run ok, until we do something like a query of a query on the CF side, in which case it errors out and tells us that the table we are trying to query doesn't exist. After some research, it appears as though CFMX/Jrun use Poolman as their backend, and we think this is causing problems. (Something like it can't tell the difference between our pool and the standard pool.) Is this correct? And if so, is there a way to use Poolman in our Java code, and still have CF/Jrun still use its own poolman? Or is there a way to add our datasource to the CF/Jrun poolman setup somehow?
