cfpdf, processDDX, AFPL Ghostscript, FlateDecode
Hi If anyone could help point me in the right direction with this I'd be very grateful. I have a routine that takes PDFs from a database and watermarks them using the cfpdf tag with action=processDDX. This works fine 99.9% of the time. However, it would appear that when it encounters a PDF containing text, and in the PDF's properties it says, PDF Producer = AFPL Ghostscript, the watermarking process fails and cfpdf gives back the error, failed: FlateDecode Filter. If the PDF Producer = GPL Ghostscript, or indeed anything else, there's no problem. Has anyone encountered a similar error to this before, or does anyone have any advice on where to look? jf/ ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:350362 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Cluster not sending request to second server
I have two Windows 2008 R2 boxes, one running 4 CF instances and the other running two. I have created a cluster with all six instances. My problem is that Coldfusion never sends request to the second server. I had this running for many years on 2003 servers but for some reason i cannot get this setup to work. Any ideas? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:350363 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Cluster not sending request to second server
How do you know for sure that requests are not going to the other two instances on the second server? Remember, if you are using ColdFusion's clustering, your web server (IIS) on the second server will not get any traffic - Java clustering goes between JVMs and foregoes the all the web servers. Your web traffic comes in via one web server, passes to Java, then the cluster manager decides which ColdFusion instance to run the request on. You would have better luck checking for traffic based on the CF server manager or memory usage on the other server. Of course, I suppose it's possible the other clustered instances really aren't getting any traffic. Remove them and re-add them, or reboot the 2nd server. Maybe even the first for that matter. nathan strutz [www.dopefly.com] [hi.im/nathanstrutz] [about.me/nathanstrutz] On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 7:49 AM, brad f b...@ciswired.com wrote: I have two Windows 2008 R2 boxes, one running 4 CF instances and the other running two.

Re: Bizarre Behavior
We had this issue as well on CF8 with our control panel. A little background, we experienced the same issue under CF7, so we did 2 things. Upgraded to 8 and put in some code fixes to ensure the cfid/cftoken cookie were for the proper account. The latter was really hacked by whomever and pretty messy. At some point someone cleaned it up and removed without any reports of it occuring again. Some time later we started experiencing the issue again. By some time later, I mean maybe two years (best guess as I was out of the development group for a while and wasn't up to date with all issues). We took the code back over and started hearing issues a couple of months later. Best I could figure at the time was maybe operations had done a CF patch that may or may have not caused it happen again with 8. Either way, I couldn't reproduce it; but could see it in our site logging exactly where things were switching for sessions for some users. This would occur at least two to three times a day, and there really seemed to be no logical reason or commonality (going by logs). First thing we did was implement a cleaner fix of what we had done before, by tracking the IP associated with a session ID and if it didn't match, clear all cookies and ensure a new session ID was created. When I say session ID, I mean cookies for cfid and cftoken, and jsessionid, when we moved to that. We also instituted logging and alerting so we would be notified immediatley when this occured to see the frequency, and to double check the logs to ensure user sessions were clearing as expected and forcing a new login. Further, the site was using a rather large set of client variables, and we deduced the possibility that client variable extraction from the database (inside CF) was perhaps not thread safe, and a module on the site using client variables may have been the cause. So we drastically reduced the data size of the client scope as a result. By that time, next step was to go to 9.0.1. Since that upgrade we have not logged any occurences, where as on 8+ we still saw log entries where things still occured. With 8, we had done all patches, etc. Even went so far as to try different jvm versions, to no avail. With all the code fixes and resulting upgrades to 9 and patches, I can't say 100% what the issue was. Other than it's not happening now. Best suggestion would be upgrade to 9.0.1, seems very stable, and look at anything funny in code with sessions or client variables and simplify them as much as possible.

Yesterday, for the first time in 6 years of offering hosting services, we had a bizarre user login problem event. A user logged into to administer their hosted site using their normal credentials and another user's administration came up!! I then tried logging into their administrative backend and the same thing happened to me. I then logged out and tried yet another user's credentials and that worked fine, but when I logged out of their administrative backend I was taken to that other user's site's administration (the one that was the wrong one in the first example) instead of to the hosting site's home page. I thought we might have been hacked, but no login files' date times had changed. The application.cfm had not changed either. I restarted both instances of CF server and all is back to normal. I'm completely baffeled and concerned. What in the world could cause this that a CF service restart would fix?

Re: Cluster not sending request to second server
Hmmm, I won't be surprised if this occurs again when the service restarts with both NICs enabled. Just sounds like a configuration issue in the networking isn't quite right. As a double check when you restart CF are things still fine? Might even go as far as a server reboot just to be sure. If it's something like a DNS issue it might not show up til a service restart or dns cache refresh (which for java is on a service stop/start). Can't remember off the top of my head, but does CF clustering allow for using hostnames as opposed to IPs only? For windows DNS, your NICs, are they both reporting their IPs back to active directory? NIC properties - advanced settings - dns tab - register blah blah with Dns? That would make your host possibly resolve to 2 different ip addresses (round robin DNS). Which in turn, based on routing and such could cause the issue. That also, might come into play if your Jrun configuration (the file that allows which subnets can connect for clustering, ug, on phone not workstation) isn't allowing to connect on the othe NICs subnet. Best thing is to specify all IPs and by-pass any DNS issues. Byron Mann Lead Engineer and Architect Hostmysite.com On Mar 12, 2012 11:38 AM, brad f b...@ciswired.com wrote: ok.. Thanks for all the quick replies but i have figured it out after doing a netstat and seeing the other server was connecting on the wrong subnet.. i disabled the other NIC and restarted CF services.. then re-enabled the other nic and we are good to go.

Re: no sql amazon and dynamodb with cf
This is a square peg in a round or square hole scenario. My suggestion would be to do a cost and performance analysis to determine what solutions are best suited to your (or your customers) needs. Outside of that, I personally probably wouldn't use a solution like this except for a highly portable app. Something like a smart phone app, with simple, low volume data requirements. It might provide the high availabilty without a large cost. I would always keep in mind growth and migration of data services. If... Amazon went out of business what would you do? How easy would it be to migrate the data to another platform? Where are backups? Will this suit my requirement when it grows 100 fold? What is Amazon's SLA and is that acceptable for my requirements? Remember no one can guarantee 100% uptime, if they do they are lying. Oh, don't laugh at the Amazon comment, remember GoDaddy told CF customers to take a hike recently.
