RE: error with ColdFusion 8 ODBC Agent
Hi Matthew, Sometimes, it might happen that the ODBC services Coldfusion8 ODBC Agent and Coldfusion 8 ODBC Server do not get installed properly for new J2EE deployment and in services property the path keeps pointing to an old deployment directory and hence they do not start up. What you can do is, remove the existing ODBC services using remove-odbcservices.cfm having the script given below: cfscript createObject(component,cfide.adminapi.administrator).login(admin); myObj = createObject(component,cfide.adminapi.datasource); writeOutput(Removing ODBC Services...br); returnValue = myObj.removeODBCservice(); writeOutput(ODBC Services removed); /cfscript And then, install the ODBC services using install-odbcservices.cfm having the script given below: cfscript createObject(component,cfide.adminapi.administrator).login(admin); myObj = createObject(component,cfide.adminapi.datasource); writeOutput(Installing ODBC Services...br); returnValue = myObj.installODBCservice(); writeOutput(ODBC Services installed); /cfscript Then, try starting ColdFusion ODBC Server service.

Re: Unit Testing Code Coverage

Re: choosing a CF ecommerce solution...
I would seriously take a look at the SiteDirector package from QuillDesign (http://quilldesign.com). I am a little bias here since that is the only package I have used, but you will get huge bang for your buck. Since you said you need more than one store, you can get a 5 store lic for $1495, which is very reasonable. The great thing about SiteDirector is the fact that is COMPLETELY open source. You can change anything you want about it. The features that come built in are second to none as far as I am concerned as well (http://www.quilldesign.com/sitedirector/features.cfm). If you have any specific questions I can try to answer them for you about SD, but that package obviously gets my nod ;) Good evening group. I have a question about CF ecommerce packages. I am looking for the following features: a.. multiple stores on the same hosting account b.. store owners have their own domain names c.. store owners can administer their own stores, including managing inventory and UI themes d.. content management component allowing store owners to create static pages, such as contact, about us, FAQs, etc e.. some source code available for customization Separate license fees for each store is fine, but of course I would like to keep the investment low if possible. I have done some research on AbleCommerce and it seems like a good option. I am also looking at SiteDirector's? Coldfusion shopping cart, but I don't know much about it yet. I am specifically looking at CF solutions because my wife knows ColdFusion, and we may want to customize the apps at a later time.

I initially debated whether or not I should do a series of regex replacements, or iterate over each token in the string and deal with them one at a time.

For example, the info I read may have been about how encrypting your data is a good thing, but there was no follow through, encrypting it where, on the server or on the client (to me, this is a flag that there is a lack of understanding). From what I have read, there does not seem to be a whole lot of understanding, for instance if you use the Coldfusion encrypt function, you just transmitted all your data in CLEAR TEXT over the internet to the server where the data will be encrypted, encrypting your data with CF encrypt function should only be used AFTER you have transmitted your data, SECURELY, over the internet. I also have read that hashing your data (for data integrity and password protection) is a good thing, create a hash, send the hash and the data, do another hash and compare the hashes. Great idea, but you just sent all your data, once again, in CLEAR TEXT, the hash function is executed on the CF server and you had to pass your text (across the internet) to the function. I just didnât see people differentiating between the client and server with respect to conversations about security. I did a search in Google with the term âclient side encryptionâ, there where less than one thousand hits, I did a search with the term âencryptionâ, almost 43 million hits, sounds like a disconnect to me. So here is my question, how is security done on the client prior to transmission, is JavaScript the main way? I will use an SSL certificate, but I also want to further encrypt the data and make a hash of it, before sending it to the server. What is the best way to accomplish this? By the way, I have both of the Coldfusion 7 (blue books), the only thing I found with regards to what I have been talking about was a small note which said: âThe encryption functions are useful for encrypting strings only after Coldfusion has processed themâ, page 147 second book. For something that is so important, shouldnât there have been huge banners along with bells and whistles making this clear, not just one tiny sentence amongst 2000 pages? ~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.

Re: Digests not working for me
I have not received any CF-Talk emails since 7/28. I have resubscribed on both pages at least a dozen times. I have unsubscribed and then resubscribed, all to no avail. My mail server is not blocking the mail. I get spam at the address so i know its working. I have subscribed to the hourly digest option The mass-list editing tool is working and you can edit all of your subscriptions from a single page: http://www.houseoffusion.com/signin/lists.cfm This is in addition to the standard subscription page that exists in each list archive section. For example, the CF-Talk subscription option page is located here: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm As for getting digests, my test digest subscription is working properly so the issue may be with your subscription or the mail delivery. Some people who subscribe to digest have their digests blocked by their mail server due to size or content. Anyone else stop getting their digests and unable to get anything other than 'immediate' (one message at a time)? Also, now I get this when I try to update my subscriptions: I'm sorry but an error has occured with the template you are requesting.

stupid maintenance agreement question...
Hi all, We just renewed a maintenance agreement with Adobe for ColdFusion in March through Software House International (SHI). We have to go through them for all software/maint agreements/etc as per our company policy. Any how, we haven't gotten anything from Adobe about our new key for CF8. When I called SHI to get the new key or have them find out why we haven't received anything, they told me I had to contact Adobe. Any idea who I need to contact? I have my SHI invoice with Invoice number, date, item number, but I think this is all SHI information any idea what I need to provide to adobe to get my upgrade info?

Re: choosing a CF ecommerce solution...
Separate license fees for each store is fine, but of course I would like to keep the investment low if possible. I have done some research on AbleCommerce and it seems like a good option. I am also looking at SiteDirector's? Coldfusion shopping cart, but I don't know much about it yet. I am specifically looking at CF solutions because my wife knows ColdFusion, and we may want to customize the apps at a later time. If anyone has comments on the packages I mentioned, or any other packages for that matter, I would appreciate it. I'm not quite sure from your post if you are looking for software that can run multiple stores from one installation...to my knowledge AC is the only ColdFusion package that does this out-of-the-box but it's not truly a CF software anymore, and you'd have to be pretty good at Java to customize it. If you just want a package that is able to run multiple instances on one server, well, most ecommerce software can do that, each copy runs as its own instance, off its own database copy. Of course, any open course software can be customized, if you have the time and money, to do a mall-type application. I did this with my software for a client a couple years ago. It's a bit of a pain but certainly possible. Feel free to drop by and check out CFWebstore. It's typically one of the highest ranked ecommerce products at the Adobe Exchange, Hotscripts, etc. We've got a large user community that is very active, and a new version that I just released several weeks ago that has tons of new and really advanced features most stores don't offer. I offer a reseller license that allows you to purchase all licenses and upgrades at half price.

RE: SQL Color Coding
Thanks Billy. I'll make you a sound track, but you're on your own for the iPod. My application is a simple DB server monitor (for MS SQL 2005) which shows me all of the running processes, who is running them, how long they have been running, a progress bar showing completion (for backups), a button to kill the process, and the option of viewing the statement being ran (select), the block of code (select * from table), or the entire text (create procedure ps_test etc..) with the SQL color-coded to be easy to read. It also shows you the CPU time used by the process, and the change in CPU since the last refresh so you can see which one is causing the spike in your perf monitor. Additionally, it highlights spids which are blocking another spid, and nests the blocked ones under the parent so you can visually see who is holding up your app. If it is a job which is running, it pulls the job name (as opposed to that annoying binary representation of the guid which is the job_id. I tied it in with the SeeFusion XML API to extract the corresponding web server request if applicable (via spid), what web server the user is on, the URL being hit, the clients IP, and in our internal application, the actual name of the user performing the request. (based on IP) Anyway, I'll post the code if any one out there wants it and is using MS SQL Server 2005 and SeeFusion.

I've not yet had to deal with Adobe for this, but from folks I know who have, it's been nothing short of a nightmare.

RE: multiple sites with cf 8 and iis
there isn't a centralized way of doing so without using a dns server that I am aware of. I just use a local DNS server.

RE: SECURITY: ENCRYPTION AND HASHING
you use the Coldfusion encrypt function, you just transmitted all your data in CLEAR TEXT over the internet to the server where the data will be encrypted, encrypting your data with CF encrypt function should only be used AFTER you have transmitted your data, SECURELY, over the internet. Correct, that is why you would purchase and install an SSL certificate on your web server. That secures the connection between the client and the server so it's not sent as clear text over the network. Then you would encrypt the data before storing it somewhere. question, how is security done on the client prior to transmission, is JavaScript the main way? I will use an SSL certificate, but I also want to further encrypt the Frankly, that's what SSL is for. In all my years of development I have never been in a situation where SSL wasn't good enough to secure the data going between the browser and the server. Many of the ecommerce gateways run by payment processors just have you send a plain-text XML package over an HTTPS connection these days.

RE: 403 forbidden with Apache and cf8
Are you using virtual hosts? C:/www/docs/dummy-host.localhost does not exist appears to be your problem. When you first install Apache, the httpd.conf file has dummy document roots set up that you have to replace with the actual sites. Also, keep in mind, if the host typed in does not match any virtual hosts, the first one is defaulted to.

Is there any way to have mail sent with CFMAIL jump the queue? To my knowledge there is not, but someone else may have a trick up their sleeve.

Still having POST converted to GET errors
Hi, I think this subject have been discussed here before. I dont think this is a problem related to CF, but it is still quite annoying. Sometimes, may be once every 500 times, I have a template called with method=GET although the only way to call it is from a FORM METHOD=post tag. I'm still trying to trace this error, (of course eliminating smart ass robots invoking any address with default GET method. In my form, I have this JS code executed on submit: if (form.action.indexOf(method) == -1) form.action += (form.action.indexOf(?) 0 ? : ?) + method= + form.method; What it does is add a parameter in the url containing what method the browser thought it should use when submitting the request. This allows me to compare with the HTTP servers log (I have IIS 5 under Windows) And here is an example: 207.35.163.94, -, 21/08/2007, 11:51:14, W3SVC32, SVRPHST0502, 192.170.102.1, 94, 496, 431, 200, 0, GET, /collConfirme.cfm, method=post, method=post is the url parameter set by my function, and GET is what the server says the type of the request was. So there is definitely something which is changing the request from POST to GET, somewhere in between the browser and the HTTP server, but who?, what? when? why? -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: Mail Queue
1. If you have a client who is demanding instant emails sent to their 75,000 customers (I question if they even want it) right then, ask him how many people will be up late at night and be reading their emails at 2am (or later). 2. Have you considered getting 2 mail servers? One dedicated to orders and one for mass mailings and non-priority emails? If that is to expensive, ask your client to foot the bill and see how critical it is for mail to be delivered RIGHT NOW. 3.

Re: Mail Queue
Sorry, our sites are far more localized, so we have that sort of flexibility. Guess it depends on the industry and market spread. My suggestion, then, would be to use one of the dozens of mass mailer houses to submit the mass mailer (a better option for your mail server too), and focus your CF server's efforts towards handling your normal site business traffic.

OT: Microsoft IIS 6 FTP
I'm setting up a new Win2k3 server with CF8, moving from Win2k/CF5. I thought I'd give Microsoft's IIS FTP server a try, having used mostly FTP Serv-U in the past.

RE: SECURITY: ENCRYPTION AND HASHING
You are correct, that is why I am asking questions, but I am confused, does SSL do a hash of the data, transmit it, then do another hash of the data, and notify you if the data was changed while in transit? Hashing is part of what SSL does, yes. If the hash portions don't match, the HTTPS server will handle that on its own. If the data makes it to ColdFusion through an SSL connection, you can be sure it is the same as it was when transmitted.

I realize that a hash is one way, it can be used for data integrity checks and hiding a password in a DB. I took an on-line application security course from a DOD web site about a week ago and I was trying to figure out how to actually apply what they explained. Basically what I understood was there are five security checks that should be performed with concern to web application security: 1. Identification and Authentication, 2. Access Control, 3. Data confidentiality, 4.Data Integrity and 5. Nonrepudiation. I started looking into data integrity, because according to the course, SSL is used for confidentiality, not Data Integrity, and one should never be used as a substitute for the other. And as I started digging, I discovered that the CF hash and encrypt functions are great, but they cannot be used because they execute on the server, they can be used for storing the data, once the data has arrived, I know. I now realize that if I want to follow good security practice I need to come up with a way to hash the data on the web site before it is transmitted so I can check the hash when it gets to the server, to ensure the integrity of the data. I guess I also need to get a better understanding of SSL, maybe some modes of SSL will do that, and I just need to make sure I purchase a certificate that does hash checking along with encryption. ~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:286884 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: SECURITY: ENCRYPTION AND HASHING
Its not a failure of the industry experts to understand the problem. Its the failure to have a problem in the first place, honestly. I think that, while you are clearly working hard to wrap your arms around the subject... you aren't there yet. What you want to do is inherently insecure... use client-side code to enforce a component of security? How would you protect the client-side code from being hacked and manipulated to ill effect? What scenario will you be covering, since the transmission off the screen is fully covered by the https protocol and a certificate? The only threat left is someone looking over the hapless user's shoulder and writing down their input, and in your capacity as developer you cannot protect against this type of threat. And client-side code is inherently open and available to the ... client. Open for inspection and giving clues to the server side tools in use; providing insight to the thoughtful hacker as to how they go about their next step in their attack against you. So if the client desktop is its own problem outside your control, and the transmission has a globally-accepted, universal solution in place, that only leaves the server side, and there you do indeed have quite a lot of wiggle room with respect to doing it badly versus doing it well. Just for starters, if you are hashing something (like a password) I would say you have made a mistake right there if its a simple hash. Use a salted hash always. I know cfencrypt/cfdecrypt has made great strides in CF7, but I'm not sure if it is really industrial-strength? I'll leave that question to others. I rely on 3rd-party tools that give me RSA asymmetric-key encryption of selectable strength, personally. SSL is used for confidentiality, not Data Integrity That is incorrect. Read tha Wikipedia article that was linked a few posts back in this thread. While you need to exercise care and perform due diligence, some of this is a lot simpler than you are making it out to be.

The rest is effectively out of your hands due to the nature of the medium. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janitor, The Robertson Team mysecretbase.com ~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:286886 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Really all you need to map the CAC is the DOD EDI, the rest is for info and cross checking.

The docs (CF7) say that the style attribute may be filled by either a path to an XML file or by an XML string. Using a file path works fine. But I now need to write some of the XML styling information dynamically (to allow for locales). When I create an XML string and place it in a variable, then output the variables in the style attribute, I get a system could not find the file specified error. For testing, the XML string I'm creating is read from a valid XML file. If I point the style attribute directly to the file, everything's fine. But when I read the file into a variable, then output it with XMLFormat, the error is created. Anyone have any tips? If I output the variable to the screen, the string appears to still contain perfectly valid XML. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:286889 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
