Preparing to upgrade from CF5 to CFMX6.1

2004-09-13 Thread Mike Kear
I have a client who's about to decide to make the leap to the 21st
century andupgrade to CFMX6.1

It's a while since I did it, and I've forgotten all the things that
broke and/or had to be redone in a better way.

is there a preparation checklist anywhere for upgradeing?to check
we've upgraded our code to the right standard before we move?That
we've taken account of all the gotchas?

Re: gobbledegook returned from MySQL TEXT fields

2004-09-13 Thread Richard Meredith-Hardy
Jochem

I have sent this very same question to a couple of MySQL.com lists but
without response so far.I was slightly hoping that someone might have
come across this problem here seeing as it is CF5 which I am trying to
get to work with it.I don't know whether it is a configuration issue
or a bug or what.

At the very least it would be nice to know which is the most recent
version of MySQL / MyODBC which works correctly with CF5 on Win2k

MySQL claim that a -gamma version is virtually 'production'  'only a
matter of weeks from being the GA version' and it would be nice to be
able to use 4.1 as it supports features like UNION statements 
subqueries which are both endemic to my app as it is written ( working)
with Access at the moment.

Somewhat in desperation I have started a separate thread on this list:
'Now I'm in a fix.Which DB?'

  The only way I can see the proper contents is in the field viewer in
  MySQL query browser, everything else returns the above; I am interested
  to get it to work in CF5.
 
 Wouldn't a MySQL list be better suited for questions about a beta
 product from MySQL? Especially if all clients except MySQL query
 browser have this problem (which suggests that actually MySQL
 query browser hase the problem).

Now I'm in a fix. Which DB?

2004-09-13 Thread Richard Meredith-Hardy
Dear all

I should have asked this question before I got to this stage:

Intranet; Win2k / CF5

Which DB should I use?

Background:

I've an intranet which has been working on Win2k / CF5 / Access just
fine for the last couple of years.About 6 months ago I warned the big
chiefs that the DB was beginning to get rather large and it was a good
idea to consider moving to a proper DB for all the good reasons
discussed here and elsewhere many times.

M$ SQL server was the obvious choice but when they looked into it they
got a big fright on the licensing costs; something around 15 - 20,000
GBP apparently.(some 200 clients use this intranet).

I did a brief test of MySQL on my dev server - all too brief as it turns
out -and it looked OK so Why not use MySQL? says I, commercial
licence is 500 Euros, unlimited clients, and the new version supports
all the 'advanced' features you need. Last week at a meeting with all
the bigwigs it was agreed.

So what happens?I've got a really intractible problem where text
fields longer than 255 aren't being returned properly.Whether it's an
ODBC problem, a DB problem or a simple configuration problem I don't
know, I'm trying to find out, but at the moment my conversion has fallen
over at the first hurdle as client vars in CDATA.DATA aren't being
returned properly.

This is MySQL 4.1I expect I could go to an earlier version, but this
new version supports transactions, subqueries and UNION statements, and
this intranet app is stuffed full of all of them.It would be a hell of
a job to undo all that

Re: Now I'm in a fix. Which DB?

2004-09-13 Thread Richard Meredith-Hardy
OK... interesting.A couple of questions:

I had a look and about the only significant limitation seems to be the
2Gb max size.Whilst I don't expect the current DB will be even a 100th
of this I will have to give my clients some sort of idea of longevity. 
Is there any correlation between a compacted .mdb file size and when the
same data is put in MSDE?

I have ordinary SQL server enterprise edition running on my dev server
for other apps I look after.Will MSDE run alongside it on the same box
happily enough?For dev purposes can I get to either thru Enterprise
manager?

CF J2SE 1.5.0 Release Candidate

2004-09-13 Thread Tony Pimm
Has anyone tried to run CFMX on the new J2SE 1.5.0 RC java server, to replace the 1.4.2 Java VM that comes with CFMX?

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/relnotes/features.html

I'm running a server install rather than a Jrun install, so I'd be interested to know if there are any performance improvements.

if the db grows bigger than swap to real sql server. same db will work w/it,

 the amount of concurrent users are also throttled.

Max 25 it says.With 200 - 300 intranet users I don't think this would
be an issue, would it?

I haven't got any stats but it's not exactly as if they're hitting it
all day long, its primary use is calendar  timesheets (client is a
publishing house and has half macs  half PC's which is why they need it
at all).

If ColdFusion is the only client connecting to it, there won't be 
more concurrent users as there are concurrent requests in the CF 
administrator. IIRC that defaults to 6, so you could connect 4 CF 
servers to it and still have one left for Enterprise Manager :)

RE: gobbledegook returned from MySQL TEXT fields

2004-09-13 Thread James Smith
 Interesting to hear about your date problem too.Sounds like 
 I could have a bit of a nightmare converting this app to 
 MySQL- there are a whole lot of rather complicated calendar 
 queries in it...

You might be ok 

SELECT DateField, AnotherField
FROMSomeTable

Worked fine with no problems at all.

SELECTDateField, count(AnotherField)
FROMSomeTable
GROUP BY DateField

This was where it started going wrong and needed casting to a char type
instead of a date.So long as you don't group on the date field you should
be ok.

This seems to be an issue with MySQL - it also appears sometimes when
you use the MySQL date functions.For some reason the query returns
binary info instead of the usual text.You can just use
toString(myQuery.binField) to get the proper value.

cfexecute mysqldump sh

2004-09-13 Thread joe velez
hi

im trying to dump a database on the fly w/ cfexecute on redhat

cfexecute name='mysqldump' arguments='mydatabase  /path/to/save/dump' outputfile='/path/to/save/results' /cfexecute

but this only returns

-- MySQL dump 9.11
--
-- Host: localhost Database: unrivaled
-- 
-- Server version	4.0.20-standard

there should be all of the create table junk. if i run the script from the command line
#mysqldump mydatabase  /path/to/save/dump
it does what i want.

any suggestions??

i also thought about creating a shell script .. but this returned the same results. should i do something to the script? i even tried adding su root

Re: Now I'm in a fix. Which DB?

2004-09-13 Thread Richard Meredith-Hardy
As I said earlier - I should have consulted this list first

MSDE would probably do the job for the forseeable future, and that's for
free (M$  'free' ...? can't quite believe it...) with the option of a
$4,600 upgrade if MSDE runs into problems.This probably wouldn't have
been too difficult if it wasn't for the fact that in my ignorance I've
already sung the praises of MySQL and pursuaded the big cheeses they can
get the job done for 500 Euros under MySQL commercial licence.

I have now got some info on workarounds for my problems with MySQL but
when people tell you in that condition -sometimes- this happens it all
seems a bit flaky - Somehow I feel I am shortly going to have to do some
super-diplomatic back-paddling

Re: disallowing usage of DSNs

2004-09-13 Thread Joe Rinehart
George,

One way would be to have the DSNs run under DSN-specific users on the
DB server, with the user for the given DSN only having access to
certain databases.

RE: Oracle Stored Procedures

2004-09-13 Thread Janet Schmitt
In SQL*Plus, you can see the package specification and hence the procedure 
definition by entering the DESC command at the SQL*Plus prompt.For 
example;DESC schema_name.package_name;

The DESC will not show you the code inside the package but it will show you 
what each procedure expects for parameters.

HTH.
Janet.

Dreamweaver MX 2004 / MacOSX site type selector bug?

2004-09-13 Thread Damien McKenna
As mentioned before, Dreamweaver lets you keep settings for a test 
server for working with a development server and a live server.Neat 
idea, the only problem is that it doesn't work for me on OSX.At least 
95% of the time when I change between the live and test servers it 
gives me an error saying An FTP error occurred - cannot get remote 
folder information.However, if I leave that server type selected, go 
to the site configuration window and then back to the server pane, it 
works every time.This suggests to me that it is Dreamweaver acting up 
rather than my server or configuration.

Has anyone else seen this?

Personally I wish that the selector didn't have four options (local, 
remote, test, map) but there was a single option to switch between 
development and production.

RE: disallowing usage of DSNs

2004-09-13 Thread Dave Watts
 The CF web server that I run has various users who also have 
 their own individual web spaces on it. How do I disable or 
 disallow usage of the CF DSNs by these users? Is this even 
 possible? If not, any semantic separation that I can/could 
 have enforced?

Yes, what you want to do is possible, although we'd need more specifics
about your system to tell you the best approach. If you're using IIS or
Apache, for example, you could disallow usage of CF for these web spaces
entirely. Alternatively, if you're using CFMX Enterprise, you could use
sandbox security.

missing values in attributes scope

2004-09-13 Thread Dave Ashworth
I am getting an error when linking to a page with the following query

cfquery name=get_itemtitle datasource=#request.dsn# maxrows=1
		SELECT * FROM items
		WHERE itemid = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER value=#attributes.itemid#
	/cfquery

the url I use to link to this page is 

/index.cfm?fuseaction=nonsitepage.displayitemid=1577preview=true

the error occurs sometimes when the page firsts loads with the following error

Invalid data '' for CFSQLTYPE 'CF_SQL_INTEGER'.

whereas when you refresh again and again it always works

any thoughts on why this might be?

Update a field

2004-09-13 Thread Daniel Kessler
I'm trying to manually update an entry in a database (ORACLE) so that 
I can insert a number into it'd ID field.

update whats_new
set id = 2
where header = 'Dr. Catherine Ennis Wins McKenzie Award'

I'm getting SQL Command Not Properly Ended.This works fine if I 
remove the WHERE line, but the reason that I'm giving it an id is 
that the header is too inexact an identifier.

So any thoughts on how to get this working?I tried adding some 
semi-colons, but it didn't work.

RE: Now I'm in a fix. Which DB?

2004-09-13 Thread Dave Watts
 I have ordinary SQL server enterprise edition running 
 on my dev server for other apps I look after. Will MSDE 
 run alongside it on the same box happily enough?

I'm a bit confused. If you already have SQL Server Enterprise Edition
installed on a machine, why would you want to install MSDE on that same
machine? Why not just use the (presumably licensed) copy of SQL Server
instead?

You will probably have some issues getting MSDE to coexist with an existing
SQL Server installation, actually, as they're both essentially the same
thing. If you installed SQL Server using named instances, MSDE will probably
install ok, although I can't guarantee it since I've never tried it myself.
If you installed SQL Server using a default instance, I doubt you can easily
install MSDE unless you can install it as a named instance. I don't know
enough about MSDE installation to know whether it can be customized enough
to make that work.

Even if you could get them both running, I'm not sure what that buys you,
though.

 For dev purposes can I get to either thru Enterprise manager?

Yes.

 I am getting an error when linking to a page with the following query

 Invalid data '' for CFSQLTYPE 'CF_SQL_INTEGER'.

I would do a couple things:

1.) cfparam all your variables so you know they exist. Only use them if
their values are of the type expected. Handle the flipside accordingly.
2.) trim your variables.

I am running CFMX Standard on a Win2K IIS server. I cannot disallow

OT: pulling header response variables

2004-09-13 Thread Cornillon, Matthieu (Consultant)
All,

 
I am being forced to develop a small module application on my site outside
of my normal environment, meaning that I cannot use ColdFusion.(shudder)

 
I am interacting with a plug-in on this other server that includes certain
information that I need in the header variables.If I use ColdFusion (which
I can only use in development and will not work on the staging and
production areas--again, shudder), I can see the variables I need very
clearly listed when I do a dump of the CGI variables (CFDUMP var=#CGI#).
As I understand it, these are variables that the HTTP server sends back in
the header of the page along with the rest of the data in the page.My
thinking, perhaps naive, is that this data should be available to the client
browser.

 
So, since I can't use CF, I have to use something else.I am getting the
sinking feeling that client-side _javascript_ is not an option, although I am
still confused as to why this data would not be available to client-side
_javascript_.

 
Bottom line: I am looking for another technology to use, but I don't know
which way to go.I don't know CGI/Perl, ASP, or client-side _javascript_, so
I'll have to study to get this set up.Before I go doing such a thing, I'd
like to know that I am at least in the right ballpark.

 
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to deal with this cold, heartless,
non-ColdFusion world?

 
Thanks,
Matthieu

If I understand correctly the following should do it.

SELECTdealerid, count(dealerid) AS Instances
FROMyourtable
GROUP BY dealerid

If you don't want to run the query to often use cachewithin in the query
parameters like
cfquery name=somequery datasource=mydsn cachewithin=0.25

0.25 is 6 hours but you can change that value to anything you like or use a
createtimespan() if you prefer.

 I do run the various DSNs under db-specific usernames. So 
 they have only access to the databases that they need access

You could perhaps use the USERNAME and PASSWORD attributes for those DSNs,
rather than entering the values within the CF Administrator.

 I am running CFMX Standard on a Win2K IIS server. I cannot 
 disallow usage of CF from these webspaces, since they do want 
 to use some DSNs specifically created for them.

Well, one of the reasons that you pay more for CFMX Enterprise is so that
you can use security sandboxes. That would probably be the best solution in
this case, except for having to pay to upgrade.

RE: Form Filling w/ activePDF Toolkit

2004-09-13 Thread Yexley Robert D Contr AFRL/PROE
I've had a number of requests for this sample code, and haven't been able to keep up with the responses to all of the requests (sorry to anyone who I've missed so far), so to make it easier for anyone that would like to see this sample code, I've made it available at the link below for anyone interested in looking at it. I figured this would be the easiest way to handle it. Feel free to discuss it further here, I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone might have about it. I'm also open to any constructive criticism about my code too (I'm a fairly noob CF'er, so I'm sure there are things I could be doing better).

Re: cldap modifying

2004-09-13 Thread Bob Flynn
Brian,

My CFLDAP wiz tells me that you need to identify your separator. I'm not sure that is the problem, but give it a shot. See the example below:

cfldap action="" 
	DN=#ListName# 
	attributes=member=#memberID# 
	separator=$ 
	modifytype=REPLACE 
	server=your.server.nameOrIP 
	port=389
	username=adminUser 
	password=xx

Incorporating Javascript to confirm into a document...

2004-09-13 Thread Brett Barnhart
I've been working on this all morning and I am missing something. I have a
delete button on a page and I want a _javascript_ Confirm box to pop up.

I am trying to assign a variable in the _javascript_ and then Test that script
in my CFIF. This works fine until I add the confirmation box.

I declare the variable
CFPARAM NAME=confirm_delete_presentation Default=false

Here is my _javascript_

function delete_presentation()
{
 confirm_delete_presentation= confirm(Do you really want to delete this
presentation??);
 }

Here is my CFIF

CFIF IsDefined(form.delete.x) and badFlags EQ  and
confirm_delete_presentation EQ true
-- Script to do the deleting
/CFIF

and finally my button

INPUT TYPE=image NAME=delete SRC="" ALT=Delete
Presentation >

Any hints?

HTTPS post

Hello All,

This is a question for the gurus on the this list.I have a request from a client to do an HTTPS post to their webpage, this is not that difficult if I use CF on a webserver no biggie.

They client want this however to run off of a pc not runnnga webserver or CF.They have the ability to create HTML pages using VB6, would anyone on this list know how an html page could be formated and have the form submitted to a remote page via HTTPs?

Does this make sense?

Re: Incorporating Javascript to confirm into a document...

Looks to me like you're trying to mix _javascript_ and server side coding.

Can't do that.

You could make the delete button a form submit button, using _javascript_, 
then on the form handler page, test your cfif block, delete whatever, then 
cflocation yourself back to the original page...

 Max 25 it says.  With 200 - 300 intranet users I don't think this would 
 be an issue, would it?   

If ColdFusion is the only client connecting to it, there won't be 
more concurrent users as there are concurrent requests in the CF 
administrator. IIRC that defaults to 6, so you could connect 4 CF 
servers to it and still have one left for Enterprise Manager :)

 I am getting an error when linking to a page with the following query

 Invalid data '' for CFSQLTYPE 'CF_SQL_INTEGER'.

I would do a couple things:

1.) cfparam all your variables so you know they exist. Only use them if
their values are of the type expected. Handle the flipside accordingly.
2.) trim your variables.

Variable evaluation LEFT of the assignment operator

2004-09-13 Thread Rick Root
I'm looking for an alternative method in CFML to do something, because 
BlueDragon doesn't like the way I'm doing it... so I figured this list 
is as good as any for alternate solutions...

Here is the code that works in CF 6.1:

	cfset Caller.#Attributes.OutputVar# = TempOutput

BlueDragon 6.1 doesn't like it though, and gives this error:

	Invalid _expression_ : Caller.Attributes.OutputVar

So I'm wondering if there are any alternate ways to set the output 
variable...

CFFTP: use it on an entire tree?

2004-09-13 Thread Matt Robertson
I'm going to be building a web site uploader.The site is created
locally on an intranet and published locally (i.e. written to .html
and .cfm files).The written files are then to be uploaded to a live
CF web server.I won't know the folder structure in advance other
than where the root is.

My question is: Is there a way to tell cfftp to just upload the
contents of a folder tree?Doesn't look like you can put a 'file' if
its a folder.

I can use cfdirectory to loop over the folder structure on the local
box and cfftp individual file lists.Was hoping I wouldn't have to
and some magical easy solution exists.

some stuff is free and some isn't.

I wound up having to join as I needed an answer that was hidden, and
have left it as-is since.One of those things where the one question
per month (or less) that they answer is worth the 4 bucks membership
(or whatever it is).If it saves me an hour the 4 bucks is worth it.

Have you applied the new CFMX rollup Updater? That contains several
fixes specifically with regard to CPU spikes when using SQL Server.

Have you installed either the latest MM database drivers or the CFMX 6.1
Updater (which contains said drivers)? The vast majority of stability
problems I've encountered with CFMX against SQL Server can be directly
traced to the buggy drivers shipped with CFMX 6.1.

Yes, there is lots of helpful solutions in
there. It's good to know that there are other people experiencing the same
issues

I wonder why people are paying to ask their questions there when they could ask them
here and get the answers for free?

RE: Installing CFMX 6.1 w/IIS6 Win2003

2004-09-13 Thread Dave Watts
 Are there any specific CFMX 6.1 issues related to IIS6.0? 
 When I try to view any cfm pages I get the following error msg:
 
 HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to an 
 ACL set on the requested resource.
 Internet Information Services (IIS)
 
 I'm not very familiar with using a IIS6/win2003 setup.

You're more likely to run into permissions issues with IIS 6 than with
previous versions, I think. Check the ACLs on the .cfm files in question,
and on the ISAPI DLLs and related files. If you want to allow anonymous
access, you'll need to grant Authenticated Users or the anonymous login
account read/execute access to the DLLs, and execute access to the .cfm
files.

The ISAPI stuff is typically located in the wsconfig directory, the location
of which will vary depending on whether you've installed the J2EE or
standalone version of CFMX. On my (J2EE) machine, it's \jrun4\lib\wsconfig.
On a standalone machine, it's somewhere within \cfusionmx.

Speed. Searching through the CF-Talk archives or asking a question can
sometimes (based on time of day) be slower than hitting a site dedicated to
having QA. As is usual, I've been wanting to build a better QA section for
the site, but time and energy. Let me finish gathering specs for the new
community section for distributed work and I'll get to the QA section.
Anyone with ideas, let me have them (off list).
Thanks

Re: disallowing usage of DSNs

2004-09-13 Thread George Abraham
Dave,
Good idea! I can then specify read (SELECT) permissions in the DB for
the default username values of the DSNs in CF Admin. Then when I want
to do INSERTs or UPDATEs, I specify a different username than the one
in the DSN definition. This different username will have write (INSERT
and UPDATE) permissions in the DB.

Beautiful! Except I have to go back and modify a bunch of code.

So far, so good. Of course, the big thing is the database drivers, so if
those work for you it's a good upgrade.

RE: Installing CFMX 6.1 w/IIS6 Win2003

2004-09-13 Thread Bosky, Dave
What's really strange is that html pages would display correctly before
installing CFMX 6.1 

but after installing CFMX 6.1 we get the same error on all pages (html,
cfm).

HTTP Error 401.3 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to an ACL set on the
requested resource.

What would the CFMX installation do to IIS 6 to prevent it from displaying
html pages?

Thanks Again,

Dave

Re: Incorporating Javascript to confirm into a document...

2004-09-13 Thread Brett Barnhart
Ah, I see... my approach is all wrong... OK.. I'll go down this avenue!
Thanks!

Looks to me like you're trying to mix _javascript_ and server side coding.

Can't do that.

You could make the delete button a form submit button, using _javascript_, 
then on the form handler page, test your cfif block, delete whatever, then 
cflocation yourself back to the original page...

Pinging servers from within Coldfusion?

2004-09-13 Thread rob.stokes
Hi all,

I'm sending SMS messages to a provider using CFHTTP. They have supplied me with two gateway addresses, so I've built in a bit of logic to send to another gateway if the first one is not reachable, which works fine.

I was thinking though would it possible to ping each server before performing the actual HTTP POST to determine which one responds the fastest and save the extra time would be incurred as CFHTTP timeouts one attempted POST. I know there is a timeout setting in CFHTTP, but thought it would be more efficient to determine which host is more responsive without having to timeout a connection...

Many thanks,
Rob
