You are right Eric,
the 64bit DLL did not work either.

 Sounds like the best way forward is to ask the vendor for a 64bit dll... 
 
 Thanks again, at least I can stop trying now :-)

 This is a 32-bit .NET assembly. You can tell because it's installed in 
 Program Files (x86) rather than just Program Files. You can only 
 use this from a 32-bit version of CF. Fortunately, you can easily 
 install 32-bit CF on a 64-bit Windows machine, but you'll have to 
 configure the IIS application pool to also be 32-bit. Unfortunately, 
 you lose all the 64-bit advantages when you do this, of course.

 Well, this is kind of true, but not entirely true. CF uses a
 third-party Java-COM library from JIntegra. They don't make a 64-bit
 version of their library. There's nothing (that I know of) stopping
 them from doing that right now, but you're correct that COM is
 basically a dead-end - so it makes financial sense for JIntegra not to
 pursue this.

Re: Creating COM object - troubleshooting

if it is critical for you to use this COM object, then here is one
suggestion.
Install CF 32 bit on the server as well, and just have one folder on your
server set to use the 32bit connectors just so you can use your COM object.

Writing transparent gifs makes them grey

2011-04-19 Thread Stefan Richter

Hi all,
I'm fetching images from a remote URL via CFHTTP. You can see an example here:
http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\LARGE%20a%20+%20b

If you open this in a browser and drag te image to your desktop you will notice 
a transparent background.

However when I do the following

cfset latexURL = http://latex.codecogs.com/gif.latex?\LARGE;
cfhttp url=#latexURL# a + b getasbinary=yes method=get/cfhttp

cfset tempimagename = #CreateUUID()#.gif

cfimage
action = write
destination = #Expandpath('./')#/#tempimagename#
source = #cfhttp.FileContent#
overwrite=true

and then open the resulting image, the background color of the gif is a very 
light grey. Ideally I'd like it to be white, however I do not understand why 
it's not transparent, but grey instead. 
My goal: write the gif with white or transparent background, but not grey.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Stefan

Re: Any secure data transfer methods avaiable for very large files?

2011-04-19 Thread Russ Michaels

is this sharing of files a regular occurrence or a one time thing ? either
way you don't need to reinvent this wheel

If you regularly do this then a much better solution would be something like
SugarSync, we have been using this for ages and it works great, and best of
all it is FREE, they do not even stop you going your quota, they just don't
backup any data that over http://bit.ly/ffSiND

Here is a bunch of other similar solutions
http://techcrunch.com/2009/08/08/16-apps-that-make-sharing-large-files-a-snap/

You could also just stick the file on your server and provide FTP access to
download it.
You may want to consider breaking the file down into smaller parts though,
as 50GB is a hefty download.

Re: Any secure data transfer methods avaiable for very large files?

2011-04-19 Thread Dean Lawrence

Could you not just upload the files using sftp and require an ssh
connection to download them? That is really what ftp was designed for.
HTTP was never really designed to transmit that large of a file
anyway. This would accomplish both of your requirements, in that you
would be uploading them securely in the UK and then they would be
downloaded securely from any place else. It will also not bring your
web server to it's knees like serving up multiple 50GB requests would.

You're not really showing any newbie-ness here, most CF programmers
never have to worry about this kind of stuff.

My guess is that this could work if you could compile Snap.cpp with a
64-bit compiler. However, that basically moves your problem from Java
to C++. I don't know enough about C++ on Windows to definitively
answer that question.

http://www.dnjonline.com/article.aspx?id=jun07_access3264

I don't think that you can invoke a 32-bit native program from a
64-bit JVM JNI call.

Honestly, my final recommendation would be to look for an alternative
to this library that's written in Java.

Hi Russ,

Thanks for your suggestions. The secure file transfer requirement is a regular 
occurrence for multiple users. I had a look at the SugarSync file upload 
service and it is only free for up to 5GB for a single user. I have asked the 
vendor to supply more information for my requirement. The other solutions are 
limited to much small file sizes then SugarSync.

Re: Any secure data transfer methods avaiable for very large files?

2011-04-19 Thread Russ Michaels

It would a bad idea to try and deliver such big files over CF. A file of
that size would take a very long time to download, and the likelihood of the
http connection being lost is very high, which means users will need to keep
trying to download from scratch, as has been stated, http is not really
intended for this.
As I suggested previously you could use FTP which would be a much better
method as downloads can be resumed. You can provide your users with an FTP
link from a webpage, if you need to generate a unique ftp login for each
user then this can be done via CF as well using an FTP server with an API,
such as gene6 FTP or Filezilla.

Kamru, SFTP is simply ftp over an SSH connection. So what you need is
to have SSH running on your ftp server. If you are using Windows, I
like ServU-FTP server as it has an SSH server built into it. It is a
commercial product though and is Windows only. If you want to go free,
OpenSSH is a free SSH Server product if you need one
(http://www.openssh.com/) and runs on multiple platforms. Russ
mentioned Filezilla, which is a good free ftp server option. The last
thing that your users will need is an ftp client that supports SSH
connections. Most commercial ftp clients do and there are numerous
free ones as well.

 Is there any products or Coldfusion code example to handle up to 50 GB files

ColdFusion (or any other web scripting language) is not the proper
solution for this problem.  It's not even worth trying.  It's like
asking how many men it takes to throw a two ton boulder over a wall
when a perfectly good catapult is sitting there beside you.  The men
might be able to eventually do it, but just use the catapult.

Investigate the SFTP/SSH/VPN/etc solutions instead.

Did you try saving it directly to a file via cfhttp? ie Using the path and 
file attributes?

Cfimage has issues with gif files.  Any chance of trying png files instead?

Saving the image with cfhttp would avoid cfimage altogether.

Re: CFQUERY update Firefox wierdness

2011-04-19 Thread Dan Blickensderfer

Kym,

I figured out what was causing the page to load twice.  Within my page I had 
an abandon   background-image:url(); within one of my style tags.  Once I 
removed it everything is working correctly with Firefox on all machines.  I 
guess Firefox tries to fetch the url() and since it's not referring to a url 
it reloads the same page.

This was driving me crazy.

Dan

 Any other thoughts?

in that case turn it on and look at what the browser is sending...

Real head Scratcher

2011-04-19 Thread Richard Steele

Ok, I have a page that loads most of the time. However, occasionally it gives 
an error:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Value can not be converted to requested 
type. 

In verbose debugging the query that fails should be no problem whatsoever and 
in fact in runs fine in SQL but only 70% of the time when the page is 
refreshed. 

We are on CF8 Enterprise with two instances. 

What could be happening? 

Here's the verbose error message:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Value can not be converted to requested type.

Bad data.  You have at least one data record with a value that is
either null or not an integer.

MySQL Conversion

2011-04-19 Thread Scott Williams

Oy -- I shouldn't have started this one until the weekend.

I'm converting from MS Access to MySQL on one of my ColdFusion sites, and 
having problems converting my Autonumbered Access tables to MySQL format. They 
just won't import at all. If I remove the primary key and change the format to 
Integer instead of Autonumber, the tables import. 

The real problem is when I try to add data to these tables later. It will take 
one additional record (numbering it 0), then won't take anymore because then 
there would be two 0s.

How can I get a MySQL table to autonumber like Access? 

Scott
