RE: CF form puzzler
No - standard text field.

If so then your users are probably copying and pasting content from WORD and thus you get al the word markup.

Re: Form Field Validation - codon boundaries
I should have provided more detail.
This has to do with nucleotide strings in DNA.
for example, consider the follow string:
123 456 789
act gta ccc ... (spaces not in string, just for clarity)
Any start position must begin at position 1,4,7, etc.
Any end position must conclude at position 3,6,9 etc.
So, I am not sure the function below would do exactly what I need??

Re: cf_sql_timestamp
is this correct, or just mis-documentation? IMO it is an error. datetime and smalldatetime are valid types, yet they are missing entirely from the CF9/MSSQL column.

Re: Invalid Precision Value from SQL Server CF9
yes, I could do it that way. However, all dates I try to insert are giving the error, not just ones I'm using the function #now()# in. Turns out the issue is my data source in CF. We have been using the ODBC socket to connect CF to the System DSN which uses the SQL Native driver.

Re: (ot) Ram usage for 64 bit Windows server 2k3 VS the 32 bit version
It would depend what you want to achieve. on 32bit you can only give 1GB or so to CF, with 64bit you can give a lot more. But if you are only going to have 1GB RAM anyway then there is no point as you will only really be able to give 512mb to CF anyway.

Re: Migrating a DB from MS SQL 2000 into MySQL latest release
Well, it is pretty damn funny. I've migrated from MS SQL to MySql before and it generally isn't too bad. There are various migration tools available, I like the ones from Red Gate. MySql has some funkiness that comes into play if you want to combine foreign keys and full text indexing from what I recall, though that may have gone away in more recent versions. There are also data type differences that you might want to take a look at, like you would think that timestamp (in mysql) would be a datetime type but it isn't, so be sure to read up on them and you should be fine. If you are still looking at options, you might also want to look at PostGres. PostGres is a solidly enterprise-level db (hot swap backup, all sorts of replication options, partitioning, etc), is free, truly open source and doesn't have the strangeness that comes along with MySql being governed by Oracle. It's good stuff.

Re: Migrating a DB from MS SQL 2000 into MySQL latest release
Many people often wrongly assume that MySQL is simply FREE, which is not correct. Many people are also completely unaware that there is a FREE MSSQL Express edition. The FREE version is the community edition, which also has limitations, look them up, If you want enterprise features then you have to pay i'm afraid, even with MySQL. The FREE editions of both will meet most peoples needs even with their limitations, it is really not very common to have databases of 10GB that needs more than 1GB RAM or more than 1CPU, then you probably be using the FREE editions anyway.

ISP blocking port 25
Big problem.. I use verizon fios for my Internet connection. It is a business class - static IPs and specifically allows web and email servers.

My mail server (smartermail) log said couldn't connect to server.. mostly AOL servers.. so at first I thought aol was blocking me.. then I figured out that I couldn't telnet to any server on port 25 outside of my network. I called tech support and had to escalate way up before someone understood. They kept telling me to change the port to something else. But that can't work.. Finally I found someone who understood the problem. He first said that I can not use port 25.. I have to figure out a way around it. After a lot of arguing, he understood and said he will check into it.. 6 hours later, I just hear back.. other people are reporting the same problem. Looks like they misconfigured a router but the people who know how to fix it won't be in until tomorrow morning. So - anyone have any ideas on what I can do from now until it is fixed? I changed the retries on my mail server to 6,12,18,24 hours so hopefully the mail in the queue will go out when it is fixed and I won't lose anything... but of course this is for a brain cancer charity and we are in the middle of the national walk to end brain tumors for brain tumor awareness month and were getting a lot of action on the server. 2 times before they messed up and changed my static IPs without telling me. Each time took about 24 hours to fix. You would think they would tell you before changing IPs or blocking a port. I need to find a better ISP... anyone know of a good one?

You can also change the out-going port on Smartermail if you look at the Default Domain Settings. If you need any help, give me a shout off-list.

Re: ISP blocking port 25
Hi Al, If Verizon is blocking delivery from Smartermail outside their own network, there is nothing you can do. Port 25 is the only port for email to be delivered on. Verizon has violated their terms of service by denying you use of your connection. This is the classic definition of an outage. And you can't use a gateway server as that will be delivered on port 25 as well. --Ben On 5/9/2011 7:06 PM, Al Musella, DPM wrote: I can use any port except for 25 right now.

Re: Coldfusion 9 on Windows 2008 R2 Server Web Server Edition?
I do use MSSQL, but never on server that is web-facing. So, that will not be a problem. On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 8:00 PM, Russ Michaels r...@michaels.me.uk wrote: yes it will run fine.

Re: Migrating a DB from MS SQL 2000 into MySQL latest release
MySql is free though licensing is a bit complicated because of a dual-license model. The community edition includes many enterprise sorts of features like replication and partitioning. If I recall, there are additional backup tools and monitoring in the paid enterprise edition. If you want to go completely free from the weird Oracle ownership stuff (which I think is wise, personally), there is the MariaDB fork which is entirely FOSS as far as I know. What enterprise features are you thinking aren't in the community edition? MySql community edition has none of the limitations present in MS SQL Express edition. Honestly, not taking advantage of more than a gig of RAM or 1 cpu core is just stupid. Why would you even have a database server? I suppose if you are housing the db on the same machine as your app server then...well, you have plenty of other problems at that point. Sql Express is great for development (though I prefer developer edition myself). It is not meant for production websites, period. That's why Microsoft has a Web edition. I like SQL Server and use it but it is wrong to try and compare Sql Express and MySql community edition, they are completely different classes of software. That being said, I still think people should check out PostGres. A feature set comparable to Oracle/MS SQL/Sybase and genuinely FOSS, unlike MySql. Tasty DB goodness.

Many people are also completely unaware that there is a FREE MSSQL Express edition. The FREE version is the community edition, which also has limitations, look them up, If you want enterprise features then you have to pay i'm afraid, even with MySQL. The FREE editions of both will meet most peoples needs even with their limitations, it is really not very common to have databases of 10GB that needs more than 1GB RAM or more than 1CPU, then you probably be using the FREE editions anyway.

Re: ISP blocking port 25
If you have a VM or something outside of their network, then you could set up an SSH tunnel and do port forwarding, having your local port 25 get tunneled over to the remote machine and then sent out from there.

in the meantime, try port 26 - it usually works fine (unless it is blocked). Azadi On 10/05/2011 08:36 , Al Musella, DPM wrote: So - anyone have any ideas on what I can do from now until it is fixed?
