Re: New Round of Exploits going on
IF, and it's a large IF, but IF you're willing to maintain your own machine than a slicehost with an open source CFML engine isn't all that much more expensive than a shared hosting plan. For $20 USD a month you can have a linode running whatever flavor of headless linux that you want. Throw on Webmin/Virtualmin to handle site creation and updates. Throw on Railo on Tomcat. MySQL for DB, apache to serve web traffic. Use IPTables to lockdown all but SSH/HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/DNS. Virtualmin can be set to automatically check for package updates and deploy them on a set schedule. It can backup to an S3 bucket. Railo can be set to update automatically as well. Everything that is running is basically free, it's just going to cost you in time if you're not familiar with it. Now, the cost in time for setup? That's going to be higher than just going with a shared host, but I personally found that my time is far offset against dealing with the latest issues that have come up with vulnerabilities. NOTE: this doesn't address PCI compliance as I've not had to go down that route. In that instance shared may still yet be cheaper, but given the prices I've seen on shared hosts that are PCI compliant, I still think it'd be cheaper to roll your own. But then, I'm able to do the admin and dev side of things. -- Matthew Williams Geodesic GraFX www.geodesicgrafx.com/blog twitter.com/ophbalance ~| 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:354457 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: (ot) Fed Reserve Hack
Most of the Fed I've worked with, the coders are pretty exclusively contractors on the CF side.

But, like many ideas in that vein, it hardly ever works out that way. So the handlers are Fed, but the people doing day to day operations are pretty much all contractors.

Re: Source control in CF
Just to add some thoughts to this. It really doesn't take much to have a working development setup that can be thrown into a zip and then scripted out for installation. Especially if you're using Apache/MySQL. I've got a zip that I hand out to folks that I collaborate with that contains Railo/MySQL/Eclipse/Apache. They just have to run 3 batch files to install the services for Apache/MySQL/Resin and they have an identical setup to what I use. The other nice bit is every time I add a new site, they just need to download a new zip to add it into the mix. This can be done with ACF as well, as you don't really need an install there, just getting the services in place works fine. Even if you want to run the install, it's not all the time consuming. Heck, isn't there an unofficial means of running a silent install for it? And from a maintenance standpoint, you could set up shares on each dev machine that are a one to many point (windows allows for this). You could patch a central machine and have that propagate out to each of the many machines. It would require a service restart, but it's doable. In short, I personally feel that running development locally is where it's at. You might have to invest some time up front, but you should save effort when it comes to ongoing maintenance of the systems. And when coupled with source control, it should help a larger team from stepping on each others work. -- Matthew Williams Geodesic GraFX www.geodesicgrafx.com/blog twitter.com/ophbalance ~| 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:354255 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

It made for a seriously bad day to have it running all the time, so I bit the bullet and jumped ship.

Re: Homesite 5.5
To clarify, Ray's clarify, my clarify... uh, right, it sounded funnier in my head. At any rate, for me UI dev at this point is just table/div/paragraph stuff, so strictly HTML items. I've not dived into jQuery development as I've just not had the time (or financial incentive). Out of curiosity, can DW be tied into SVN the same way Eclipse can? 95% of my projects sit in SVN at this point, and it's a big selling point to the team I work with to have it all combined into the IDE. As an aside, CS4 corrected my AMD issues, but now I have an i5 CPU to play on so it's an issue left long in the dust. It was my incentive to switch my IDE, nothing more. I have DW CS4 installed, but since I offload all HTML look and feel to others in my group (I turn their work into templates for our CMS), it's a very rare day that I open it.

Re: Hosting.com, Your Experiences
I've had clients with HMS (hosting.com bought them?) for roughly 3 years. Their dedicated solutions seem to be OK, but their shared hosting is... well, the norm for CF shared hosting I suppose :P. It's entirely overcrowded. I've got a nagios alert set up for the only shared hosting account we still have with them, and some months are better than others. There is not a week that goes by that I don't get paged at least once for page timing out, and sometimes it's also pitching out 500 server error messages. If you're not afraid of Linux, and can migrate from ACF to Railo, Linode.com has some truly smashing deals. I think in the 2 years I've been with them there has been one outage (DNS went out for a few hours) at the datacenter that hosts two of my VMs. Matthew Williams Geodesic GraFX www.geodesicgrafx.com/blog ~| 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:342781 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: US Government moving to Drupal?
I've been working with .GOV as a shared CF server admin since the beginning of '06 for EPA, and the impression I've always been given is that our branch is only interested in enterprise solutions. Even the FOSS apps that are being run are the Enterprise variants (Solaris, RHEL, etc). If there's no large vendor behind supporting the product, no one wants to own the project of putting it in place and having a potential failure. In the last year it's begun to change with the inclusion of PHP (but only cake-php CMS), and some facebook integration apps, but it still remains pretty much an enterprise only shop. Not that I'm going to complain, I hope that they keep CF around for at least another 5-10 year ;).

Re: 32-bit / 64-bit COM object issues in ColdFusion 9
I'm seeing this as well, but on a CF8 server with 32 bit OS. Every time this happens I also get an email from FusionReactor that we're hitting less than 2% of memory available, or that the server has started to queue up requests. So, to me, this would indicate it's out of memory issue. It's not happening after every request, just during periods of heavy load.

Re: (ot) Memory Upgrade
I think your bigger issue is going to be 32bit vs 64bit. The maximum amount of memory you can assign to a 32bit ColdFusion JVM is going to be somewhere in the 1200 megabyte range for the heap, and 512 or so for the perm gen. If you had the Enterprise version of ColdFusion you could spawn more instances using the same configuration and cluster/load balance them. But in the end, if you want to take advantage of all that memory with just one instance, it's going to have to be 64bit ColdFusion.

Re: Upgrading to Coldfusion 8
It's fairly easy to do. * Choose multi-server EAR/WAR during the CF install. Choose the EAR specifically. * Create a new folder in jrunhome/servers/yournamefolder. * Expand the EAR/WAR into folders. Use the CF8 folders as an example. cfusion-ear will have a cfusion-war folder and a META-INF folder. cfusion-war will have CFIDE and WEB-INF. There also appears to be a crossdomain.xml in my cfusion-war folder for CF9. * COPY the application.xml from the working CF8 cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/META-INF folder into the new folder cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/META-INF. The application.xml created by the install will NOT work with JRun. Go figure. * Load up the JRun admin at port 8000. I have this service set to manual, but it may already be on. The username is admin, password is the password from when you first installed CF8. It can be found (unencrypted) in jrunhome/servers/admin/SERVER-INF/jrun-users.xml. * You should see a link to create a new instance. Go for it. * Name the instance the yourfoldername. It will automagically pic up the EAR/WAR you exploded into that folder * Create a service for it with jrunhome/bin/jrunsvc -install yourfoldername yourfoldername Macromedia JRun whatever Macromedia JRun whatever * profit Now, I'm not sure you're going to get SOLR along with this, but I'm fairly sure you can find that separate somewhere in the install folders. Some optional steps include downloading an updated JRE. You could also create a separate jvm.config and specify that during jrunsvc -install.

Re: CF Shopping carts
My problem with this Kart is the amount of holes in it. I had an entire server brought down from defacement from this... however, some of that was the lack of sandboxing the app to its own space. Essentially, it was not validating ANY user input (or URL input) and allowing script kiddies access to the DB and its result set in the title of every page of the site based on the URL params you passed in. It didn't store username/password combination in the database, and once they were in to the admin page, they had free reign to upload pages at will. I closed this hole on my local copy, and will never use this code for any other kart again ever. I'm rolling my own for all future clients.

Re: What is the version of Java SDK CF should use?
Right... I'm thinking back to the release of 8 (or 8.01) with an early version of JVM 6. This JVM had known issues with classes and such with CFC and memory scope intensive apps. Did Adobe every officially support _10 or so that fixed that? In addition, security fixes do eventually come down the pipe, and it'd be nice if instead of just trying XX release of the JVM, that Adobe could say yep, we only support _xx, you'll be fine to move to that.

Re: Disaster Recovery Windows ColdFusion8 mulit-home (and Perl)
Easy enough. Step 1 Our windows team restores the data drive (contains ColdFusion install in multi-server configuration, ColdFusion templates, etc. All but the OS, really). This assumes that IIS and such is pre-installed with your standard windows image. Not my department, the box is already there waiting for me on about day 2 of our DR testing. Step 2 Restore previous save of IIS meta data XML (right click within IIS... should be a save option somewhere. Don't have IIS up in front of me at the moment. You'd do this and save it to your data drive before it's backed up, or whatever. Then right click, new site from file to create the site when the DR server is available). Step 3 Run jrun4directory\bin\jrunsvc -install name of the instance in JRun service display nifty description repeat nifty description. This sets it to autostart. You would do this for every instance on the box (including admin). I cannot recall if this starts it on installation I'm thinking not. If you need to specify different JVM configs, you'd do this here. Can't recall off the top of my head the option to do so. Step 4 Since our DNS/IP changes at the hot site, modify the IIS site to point to the correct IP. Since this is an SSL based site, we need to generate a temporary cert for the new DNS name. And, that was it. Usually, I need to go through and install CF from scratch, copy the EAR file in, make sure all the settings are correct, create the IIS site from scratch, etc. This was so much easier this year, I think I can actually get it into an any idiot can do this documented experience... which is actually what the client wants anyway.

Re: Ubuntu - how WinXP compatible?
One hurdle to consider is how supported is your hardware. I really wanted to move to Ubuntu (I was upgrading drives anyway), but hit problem after problem on my Dell 1501 using the 8.10 release. It seems that the 1501 just has craptastic time of it based on the amount of reports I found over the net, most of it stemming from unreliable driver sets for the wireless card. I spent several days trying to get everything to play nicely together, but gave it up for bad in the end. This doesn't mean that linux (or Ubuntu) is bad, just that for this particular laptop it wasn't worth it.

Re: HostNexus
The only pain with I've had with dealing with them is no control panel support for basic ColdFusion functions. I cannot add my own datasource, or mappings without first submitting a trouble ticket with them. However, they WILL create mappings for you, and even go so far as to edit your vhost.conf file if you should so choose (add Alias's) by way of their trouble ticket system. Their shared hosting does tend to be a bit crowded though.

Re: CFQUERY Timeout for SQL2005 Fails
The docs say, no, it may not timeout at 1 second. Check out the livedocs... Because the timeout attribute only affects the maximum time for each suboperation of a query, the cumulative time may exceed its value. And, even then, the query stuff is considered to be 3rd party (or at least, so I remember reading a ways back) and does not fall under the same rules as CF templates when it comes to setting a timeout using CFsetting or by way of the administrator. The best way to kill those hung threads is going to be something like FusionReactor or SeeFusion.

Re: Clustering with Synchronization/Mirroring
That's going to highly depend on your server architecture. We have Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise. The NFS clustering in that release has been fantastic, and has only failed one time in about a year. It's multi-point sync (a - b, b - a) and can do partial file changes as well. This also requires that the machines be part of an active directory domain. Matthew Williams Geodesic GraFX Joseph Bugeja wrote: We have a setup consisting of 2 CF8 servers running in parallel (the 2 instances are clustered together using CF8 Ent/JRun4) and we have one app. deployed on each of the two servers. Each request is served by either one of the 2 servers. Although clustering is working great, we would like have a facility that when a server generates a file on one server it gets automatically pushed to the other parallel server. Is that possible with ColdFusion clustering or we to invest on additional software/perhaps proprietrary ones? Naturally, the two folders (one on each of the parallel servers) need to contain the same content, so ideally when one gets generated on one server it is immediately replicated on the other server.

Yeah... this just bit me too. You need to adjust either your clob/blob size for the DSN. The default cuts off at 32k. Even if the clob/blob options are not checked, that seems to be the cutoff.

my webservice calls were all shot to hell. This may only be a problem
for those that install in multiserver mode though. Maybe standalone

my current environment, that was a problem for me.

Re: missing car file option on MX 7
I'm pretty sure that's an Enterprise setting and not available to those running Standard (assuming you're running Standard). What you could do is delete the license and set the instance back to developer mode.

Re: cf8 enterprise failover
By default CF uses 512 Megs + up to 128 Megs of memory per instance. You can configure that to be higher, though I wouldn't go any lower.

Re: cf8 enterprise failover
Brad Wood wrote: How do you define working? When you can't place CFCs or XML objects in your session scope without ugly erros, I don't call that working. Serialization of complex objects has plauged session replication for a while. CF8 made CFCs serializable and that was very good, but to this day (and to my knowledge), ColdFusion is still incapable of serializing complex variables (Arrays, Dates, Query objects) within a CFC. (Adobe Bug #70580) I know there are people who use session replciation, but in general, my perception (from this list anyway) is that a lot of people have simply enabled sticky sessions and then clocked out. I define working in that we host about 130 applications, and none have had issues (beyond that MachII app) in 2 years with our setup. At least, I've not had any complaints. Now, we do use session stickiness in addition to the replication, so in theory we wouldn't have any issues unless the server goes down. We've actually had 98+% uptime on the servers, so maybe we just don't come across it? Mayhap we just have really boring devs that don't serialize objects. I don't know. I'm not sure what you speak of, but to my knowledge this is not operation out of the box since cfchart's cache location defaults to a local directory. (Which is why it qualifies in my gotcha catagory) Your options are to cache to a shared network location, or enable some sort of file replication beween your chart caching folders. Keep in mind, I didn't say it was impossible. I simply said it was a gotcha. To my knowledge, cfimage does not allow customization of the caching folder. Yes, sleep addled brain at work here. I should say that since all of the sessions should stick, we don't typically have an issue with CFCHART. Although, I should look at setting those folders as targets for our DFS shares. I guess the only real thing I have going here is that, in my experience, life has been 1000x better since we've moved to multi-server with session replication and stickiness. Customers and the public no longer catch a 500 server error (which happened frequently before I came on board). The only complaint I've had for our public facing servers in the last few months is an issue with our front end balancer. If a CFHTTP request gets routed back to the same server making the request, the load balancer fails the request. This only applies to non-CFM related requests, so calls to XML files and images would fail intermittently. The workaround for that is to use things like CFFILE instead, but I have no control over the front end load balancer.

Re: cf8 enterprise failover
Uh, what? Session replication has been working for me starting with MX 6.1 and continues to work fine now that we've moved to CF8. I've also not had an issue with cfchart since the information replicates within the cluster. And, as an added bonus, the latest JRun updater for CF8 brings us partial session updates! Now, only the data that actually changes gets pushed to the other clusters. Before? It sent the entire scope data. This is in several environments, and one that has a load of about 75k hits daily shared across 4 servers and 4 instances. Things that may go wrong though... if your servers are on different subnets, it's a right pain in the ass to make it work correctly. The only time I've seem to have issues with session replication is with sites that have exceedingly high memory writes/reads. We've got a Mach II app that will not behave when pushed into a cluster. Normal startup time for this app is 30 seconds, but that stretched beyond 3 minutes when it was trying to replicate data amongst peers. Then again, this app had a startup XML file of around 120k. It's ungodly massive, and something I did mention to the devs in the past ;). Matthew Williams Geodesic GraFX Brad Wood wrote: * Data that is specific to a users and stored in a persistent scope like session or Application does not automatically follow users from once instance to another. Session replication can solve the latter, but still has some problems I think, and not many people seem to use it. Sticky sessions eliminates both problems for the most part, and seems to be the most common way to handle clusters. Of course, the failure of an instance won't be helped by sticky sessions since that only sticks a users to an instance as long as it is still up. ~Brad ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:311826 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

How do I export a verity collection?
I hate verity, for so many reasons. Mostly because it's a pain to administer. I'm setting up some CF8 instances for our customers to start testing on, but I'm again having issues moving verity collections. Is there some secret that I'm missing when exporting verity collections? It looks like the CAR file save correctly, and it starts to restore correctly, but then it fails.

Re: **UPDATE** JRn 600MB+ shortly after boot up
I don't think what you're seeing is abnormal. I've got the default JVM configs running as well, and my JRun is running at 522 Megs. I'm running a the FarCry framework (lots of objects). I bet if you had a server monitor running, you'd see that used memory is far lower than the memory that it has acquired by the JVM. This is on a Dell AMD 64x2 with 2 Gigs of RAM laptop. However, our production servers also exhibit the same behavior. Right now, my used memory (according to the CF8 monitor) is about 300 megs.

Re: load balancing / failover
Actually, I think what your seeing here is not that the clustering is
breaking, but rather that the JRun/IIS connector piece is dying. I'm
running clusters in all of my shared environments and experience this
very infrequently. All of them are Win2k3 RC2 (though they were
previously Win2k). The only time I ever have issues is if IIS just
plain hangs. But when IIS hangs, it's never in a good way ;). If it's
still possible to open a the communication port, our hardware load
balancer thinks that the server is alive. But since IIS is stuffed up,
the JRun connector piece never really gets called. If the JRun
connector doesn't get called, clustering won't function. We've now
taken to having a {server}/alive.htm file that is pinged every 5 seconds
by the hardware load balancer to ensure that IIS hasn't died in addition
to the software JRun clustering. If the hardware load balancer can't
get through to the alive page then the server is taken out of the
hardware balancing cluster.

I think the main thing you lose using the Oracle thin client drivers is the ability to use Ref Cursors. The DataDirect drivers do have this functionality.

Re: Proxy Authentication with Oracle - Does ColdFusion Support th is?
If the proxy user supports using a password, you could always override the values supplied in the ColdFusion datasource at runtime. CFQUERY takes an optional setting of username and password. If you plug the proxy user information into those optional values, it will use those credentials for authentication. Or, at least, so sayeth the documentation.

Re: ColdFusion 8.0 clustering - quick question.
You also need to name your instances uniquely. Even if you just copied the ear/war file, the instance names in the Enterprise Admin (JRun admin) cannot match. Just another thing to check.

Re: ColdFusion and IIS as an external Web Server - Is JRun required o n both machines?
You don't need the full blown install to do this, however it's going to be a completely manual process. You can find instructions for that at this link http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19575. The only thing that's not reflected in the kb entry is that IIS6 now uses a wildcard ISAPI reference. It may help you to configure a webserver locally on the ColdFusion box, and then mirror these settings on your DMZ server (from the IIS standpoint). Or, even better, create the website locally and just save the site for import into the DMZ.

Re: Need built-in JWS SSL help
Other than some occasional thoughts, no. I'm pretty sure we're going to be screwed on this one as it points more toward being a JVM issue opposed to a ColdFusion issue. Looking over some of the 1.6 info, it looks like SSL underwent some major revamping. I'm curious to see what would happen if a Verisign cert were used instead of a self signed cert... but all of the machines that I do have Verisign certs for are production servers and many bad things (TM) would befall should one of those machines have issues whilst I'm testing.

Re: Need built-in JWS SSL help
Yep, that's exactly where I'm at with this ;). I even tried creating the self signed cert under the various JVMs (thinking it may be a SSL v3 issue), but I think it may actually be a TLS issue. But, those are really just buzz words to me. I don't have a lot of free time to develop a good working relationship with SSL or the JVM. Guess it's time to burn that support money. Though, it may have to wait until next week.

HTTPS for integrated JRun web server
So, after reading through this link at Bruce Purcell's site (http://www.bpurcell.org/blog/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=1064), I can get CF7.02 the admin site for my CF7.02 instances to work fine. However, as soon as I bring up a CF8 instance, things fall apart. It looks like CF8 is expecting a TSL response, whilst the one being sent is an earlier version of SSL. I've tried testing against JRE 1.4.2, and 1.6. Nothing seems to be working when it comes to doing this on CF8. The security team has decided that we must go over SSL... I'm not sure how this can be handled, however, if I can't get CF8 to work. Oh, I run in multiserver mode with clusters. I have to be able to get to the integrated server in order to do administration.

Re: HTTPS for integrated JRun web server
Hmm... it appears that this is only an issue running the 1.6 JRE. It works fine for CF8 on JRE 1.5 u 15 and 1.4.2. Well, never mind ya'll.

Re: ColdFusion - Oracle - kill unresponsive query
That only kills the request on the ColdFusion side. It can still keep running on the Oracle side.
