CF MX 6.1 + Linux + Verity = Trouble???
I was wondering if anyone out there is using CF MX6.1 release on any Red Hat version while depending on Verity to provide indexing of their files? I've read various contradictions on this list and via Macromedia's website about support for Verity under Red Hat Linux. Here's what I need to do: 1. Index recursive collection of files - two seperate collections for two seperate directories. 2. Index the small, but soon to grow PDF files. I tried #1, and Verity created a 500k log sysinfo.log file full of complaints. As for the PDF part anyone using Red Hat and Verity to successfully index their PDFs? I've created a database generated collection with this configuration and it works fine. Thus the confusion when coupled with contradicting messages out here. -paris lundis Sent via the WebMail system at areaindex.com ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - CFDynamics http://www.cfdynamics.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187947 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: Hidding URL -
Here's my solution and it is adopted from someone else's work... I use it successfully on my PubCrawler.com site to hide emails from spammers of our most valued users who created the most reviews to date... The system uses email values throughout to identify folks... We inherited it that way, but emails are as unique as it gets really so not such a bad concept...
Before continuing see our real example - the query is slow and ran live each time.. so deal with that:
http://www.pubcrawler.com/Template/dsp_100.cfm
save these two files in your directory where your other CFM file calling it is located...
file: act_encrypt.cfm
myEncodedText = tobase64(encrypt(myText,"password"));
file: act_decrypt.cfm
myDecodedText = decrypt(tostring(tobinary(myEncodedText)),"password");
In the page where you are wanting to encrypt the values ... typically for URL.whatever value passing you do this for each value:
if you have more values add another block to handle the other value:
Finally you have to assemble the URL with the crypted values:
Now on the whatever.cfm destination side you have to decrypt things and make them normal before the rest of your page processes.. otherwise the values will be crypted and your site won't work:
In whatever.cfm:
.. be sure to check to see if the values are there before running that block- isdefined(url.email) and isdefined(url.name)
you now should have the original values unencrypted... you can continue your program and queries here onward...
This solution works wonderfully well. Email me if you have problems.

Re: Urgent: Performance Help
At the starting level you seem to be at with the site and databases, I'd recommend taking the MySQL route its free... runs on more platforms.. runs darn fast... If you think your clients/company will be a Windoze shop or clients will be wanting MS solutions I'd say pickup MsSQL afterwards... Simple selects, writes and updates aren't very different between them... syntax can be annoying... Transactions and complicated sub queries, mass unions, etc. typically are beyond what most folks actually need... Finally, MySQL + CF can be setup on a smallish computer within your home /office and run pretty well... Be sure to setup dev environment of your own before deploying your monster apps... -paris -- Original Message -- From: Jim Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 15:51:14 -0500 >It's interesting they'd charge you more for MySQL than Access (since I >assume they'll have more tech support issues with Access ;) > >However, MySQL is not that hard to learn.

RE: Urgent: Performance Help
Access tends to 'abandon' connections... a fair amount of memory loss with any large usage on a server.. Access isn't good at all for shared hosting company environments... Easy way to hose a server... Find out if they have your DSN maintaining connections ... depending on the application you will or won't want to enable maintain connections... I have found that if your are doing lots of database activity to leave it on with Access... There is also the timeout to maintain DSN connection... try putting that at 1-5 minutes.. probably set at 0 default now... -paris -- Original Message -- From: "Tony Weeg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 16:33:45 -0400 >access has been known at some point (amount of connections or maybe >lines in the database) >to hose up, what that means? not sure, but I know this, if at all >possible, STAY AWAY FROM ACCESS > >tony > >tony weeg >sr. web applications architect >navtrak, inc. >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >www.navtrak.net >office 410.548.2337 >fax 410.860.2337 > > >-Original Message- >From: Andy Ousterhout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 4:24 PM >To: CF-Talk >Subject: Urgent: Performance Help > > >No, don't recommend Viagrathe problem is I just won't stop. > >My ISP is accusing me of writing code that keeps threads open long after >they should be closed and are threatening to shut down my site.

RE: New Macromedia.com launched!
I have been through the hoops of design environments, web development firms and programmers... Most design folks across the board should quit what they are doing.. some are good because they have excellent color theory and shape arrangement... Some just use really pretty Tony Stone type stock images... Not many carry longevity of design and timelessness... That is what makes design good - long term beauty and functionality that is obvious.. Flash developers make bad web interface people look like mega-talented people... Even a good Flash developer is prone to making text 6 point, because he/she can and because it fits more and looks great on their 21 inch monitor... Interface elements that unfold and serve for multi functional items shouldn't be flat in appearance or appear abstract - they should work and look like things people are already familiar with... Now for Neilsen, I am inches shy of calling him a nutcase... He is an extreme example of bad design himself... He rips apart known sites in his book for examples then shows his own site work, which is an utter disaster... Does one need to be a designer to say what works and doesn't? Well no, but they should have some suitable examples that work, not text loaded geek droppings... When developing a website think of it like creating a movie... This analogy certainly is pretty exact for Flash... But it also readily applies to non-flashers too... To create a movie you need a writer, editors, actors, voice people, special effects, camera people, lights, sound and film editors. For a HTMl based site you need to: storyboard, write copy, outline, implement wireframe, fill in wireframe (program and HTMl markup), provide graphic dressup and develop middleware.. and if you are lucky, focus group study a segment of your users and modify as needed... Unfortunatly, most web projects are done incredibly under budget compared to what their expectations are... Causing technical people to fill roles and do work solely at the direction of the client or a graphic designer... A client who has their preferences in mind or a designer who wants the site to be pretty and print and work like paper.. Macromedia's new site is a radical deviation from 95% of the worlds expectation and basis of the web... They violate the sound concept of no more than 15% deviation from established standards... They also use their marketshare distribution concept of adopted Flash installation base to shove Flash into your browser... Would it be any more wise to push movies and sounds to you like some cheesy sites do? On the other side, the idea of more rich on demand Flash type services online to view media and distribute is upon us... Hopefully Macromedia will learn what we all did years ago- create a site for for each specific lot of people based on unique needs... whether it be sight impaired or those who use Netscape or IE... -paris -- Original Message -- From: "Matt Robertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2003 13:18:39 -0800 >Joshua wrote: >>All due respect to Mr. Neilsen, but he's a boring old codger. > >Yes, he is an extremist.

If we determine that our open-access policy is being abused or overburdened, we will have to review it. Regardless, we do not intend to offer batch processing capabilities via this service.

RE: Load Balancing: Disk Options?
No matter what you implement there are bound to be issues... Here is the list I have as a set base of consideration: 1. Synchronization can take time ... Solution: have synchronization run at file / OS level to distribute new items... Problem: lots of simultaneous access could make the site perform poorly or even crash... 2. Multiple synchronizers can cause things to be out of sequence.. Solution: centralize synchronization - parent to children relationship.. Problem: Single point of failure on the parent - implement 2 parents... 3. Backup and security... Both have unique needs and windows of time... Solution: Create N+1 spare duplicate to keep a snapshot of all data for backup and security considertations offline... Those are my major items... Best thing to do: 1. Implement NAS 2. Implement duplicates of NAS via Samba on various Unix varieties 3. Run commercial or CLI unix type sychronizers... 4. Parse data out of CF and have mechanism to do a bulk update... setup a scheduled event to parse out all new pages on some schedule to 'refresh' / validate everything... Still some mechanism for making the parent - the NAS - redundant are needed.. That could be done by putting a spare NIC in each NAS type box and exchanging data, or a P2P small server/client app (best idea).. -paris Paris Lundis Founder Areaindex, L.L.C. http://www.areaindex.com http://www.pubcrawler.com 412-292-3135 [finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] [connecting people, places and things] -Original Message- From: "Ben Koshy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 01:25:26 -0800 Subject: RE: Load Balancing: Disk Options? > That solution doesn't sound very clean, especially if one mapped > drive > is down and we have to trap & catch errors when one disk is down. > Then > after the drives get out of sync, some sort of sychronization would > have > to be initiated, plus we would have to determine which drive is out > of > sync.

Re: SQL Worm
A good summary Jochem would be for folks to tune the firewall and ensure permissions/allowable IP list... I know one of our enviroments runs machines with no patches and very screwed up management approach... Meaning things are far from right, even though we tell them about it all the time... However, we have a firebox II sitting in front locked down fairly good... The worm didn't effect the environment nor have any of the previous security items... In your environment you point out the user base... 8000... agreeable... large base for things... Tune the firewall and restrict traffic there ... allowing like port 80 in and out disbaling all other services and ports, except those in a defined list of authrozied servers That is how I would stab the issue.. -p Paris Lundis Founder Areaindex, L.L.C. http://www.areaindex.com http://www.pubcrawler.com 412-292-3135 [finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] [connecting people, places and things] -Original Message- From: Jochem van Dieten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 00:18:00 +0100 Subject: Re: SQL Worm > Paris Lundis wrote: > > > > It would seem that having a local university private subnet would > be a > > good solution.. and also this would cut down on people running un- > > authorized servers... > > Why would servers be unauthorized?

Re: Microsoft Bashing - Was: RE:SQL Worm
Pretty poetic... The CF-Talk group tends to be the folks in the ditches.. A few of us own our own thing and do well, but no one I know of has 10k employees and all that jazz... It seems pretty irresponsible to have issues like this worm... I know from having maintained environments that needed to support 100 difficult users with all of their different needs that securing an environment takes a strategy no matter what the platform... Saying you are too big or the problem is too complex just can't be allowed to cut it... Liability in my opinion is and has been the largest issue businesses face... Say we adopt the same big argument to hospitals.. Next thing you know your employee knows about those stress meds you have been taking... Thus HIPAA was created to neutralize the irresponsible... Similiarly, there should be a standards measure that anyone with a public facing resource should clearly be able to say they have made the best and most calculated base to ensure the reliability and security thereof If such were upheld/created, fending off lawsuits and government regulation as well as lost business would be more honest and easy... No one would listen if Boeing airplanes started falling out of the sky and the men on the line said oh we produce tons of them... No one would listen if their financial data were disclosed and they were defrauded... Protecting your enviroment should be a portion of identifiable time you spend or someone in your organization spends in an ongoing manner... If you don't have the luxury you will when something fatal happens... And remember to yell out the names of your bosses who told you to overlook it...

Re: SQL Worm
Jochem, It would seem that having a local university private subnet would be a good solution.. and also this would cut down on people running un- authorized servers... On the router side or NAT you could do port translation and make things further "burried"... In our environments to eliminate this sort of problem, we issue a dual IP... the private ip range say 192.168.1.xxx or one of the other 3 permissible private ranges goes along to the user along with their public IP... Any App server needing to talk to the database must do so on the local IP segment otherwise it won't work... I understand that the approach has complexity issues when dealing with fluid usage like your own... The approach does solve a few problems when perfected... It makes your databases and other key assets non- accessible publically... requiring someone login securely to a public box to access the private resource...

Yeah, I can attest to it being totally like a DOS attack under CF5... that's what we still run... I have ran it on the same switch with the same computer feeding the file as running CF... I have tried it a desk away.. same effect, an unresponsive APP server... All in Windows of course... Definitely would like to hear more about MacroMedia's evaluation of this item... I plan on running it through more tests just to make sure all is good... In my world I have mostly tested on Win2k and NT under CF5.. using IE 6...

Re: Next N" Navigation and query caching theory question
a good approach to this interesting problem would be as you lead into a bit, dynamically appending an identifier to all the query names... so the box of queries you normally run become something like: QRY_GET_TICKET_12 where 12 is the ID of the person making the request. To accomodate would seem like a minimal modification to your queries (adding the unique variable after the query name) plus linking some logic together to your user identification modules... No matter what, this approach due to the live ever growing type of requests and the need to run custom queries down to the user seems to probably be the best approach. -paris Paris Lundis Founder Areaindex, L.L.C. http://www.areaindex.com http://www.pubcrawler.com 412-292-3135 [finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] [connecting people, places and things] -Original Message- From: "Pete Ruckelshaus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2003 09:02:22 -0500 Subject: Next N" Navigation and query caching theory question > Hi, > > I am rebuilding my employer's bug tracking application; quite a job, > but it's been fun (seriously, plus I get to be a hero to hundreds of > developers who have been using the old, ugly, slow, and completely > un-user-friendly app that this is replacing).

Re: OLE DB and Maintain Connections
Ian, Good info... Have you checked the registry or are you storing cookie information in a database? Run that through an admin cycle AS far as database goes, ran everything through validation, compact, maintenance? Are you using SQL server? How big are your transaction logs? Could be the culprit...

Re: OLE DB and Maintain Connections
Sounds like shared hosting... or do you have you own dedicated box? Disabling the database connections as steady state can be good in some circumstances... I have some things I run this way and others that I try always to maintain... The OLE isn't the first choice... wondering why they recommended this? Load might seem to be the same, but the machine with bad/active neighbors could be doing it... or it might need rebooted.. or resources could be running lwo on the box (disk/RAM).. It's really hard to pin point anything other than that... I know lately having ran the exercise of looking for a hosting solution for a full CF project for a client, I wasn't impressed with hosting companies were offering and where their knowledge base was...

Re: cold fusion hosting with full tag support
Yeah I agree about that Jochem... They aren't exactly an easy client to please... Concerns are more with how things look than how things operate... typical stuff... cut costs on the stuff that matters, pay for the fluff.. I developed the site in CF 5 and planned on having it colocated with its own server and such.. thus eliminating the full support and security need by being the only project on the box... Alarming thing is these folks have something like 13,000 photos that are on a quarterly death path for deletion and they are increasing allegedly to be maybe 35k images.. meaning maybe 70k images in a high watermark time... Utter resource consumer... daily batch imports (to date - 12k rows of data).. accomplished via Excel and a dynamic database connection... overwrite the file via FTP and run the URL script... 2 minutes later its munged... Needless to say, they are selling goods online and collecting privileged data... one hosting company just pushed the issue aside and said oh write secure applications :) yeah and someone can still CFFILE access the database and undo whatever..

cold fusion hosting with full tag support
I have a client who has a project I have created that requires full tag support... for some reason, they want to be cheap on the hosting side... $150-200 a month is too rich for their blood... looking for a host that has full tag support... supports third party tag installation.. and has dynamic datasource permission allowed... The project requires just CF5.. MX not required... Anyone offer anything like such in shared or reduced cost?

Re: Is ColdFusion the best answer
CF will handle any load you can come up with... just be sure of the following: 1. run a real database... MySQL is a great one and has awesome cost... 2. Have enough machines to process your requests... 3. Don't try running many servers on one machine... divide FTP, EMAIL, DNS and SQL stuff from the web app box... 4. Run a minimum of 3 front end boxes ... 1 for live, one for backup and one for development... CF is very robust, rapid and reliable if you take proper business steps to build out your solution and invest in the infrastructure... lots of people get real cheap on the hardware side and beat boxes to death... Puts lots of RAM (as much as possible) in the boxes and amply large and fast disk...

Re: secure email...
So through Doug's ommission: The CFMAILPARAM that I hardly recognized as existing allows you to do additional mail things specific to your server and the RFC pertinent to this sorts of stuff... Doug had sent one code sample around this weekend that provided the reply to functionality CF lacks through the very flexible CFMAILPARAM tag... Doug and I exchanged some emails on this authorization... there are serveral forms.. the SMTP AUTH he refers to in this thread is a one password for all users period.. its a server setting on most decent mail servers... I haven't the syntax or exacts on it.. but I assume when Doug free a block of time and pulls the code you will be able to extract it... thats how I learned about the reply to ability...

Re: ColdFusion practical limits
2800 active sessions with a 20 minute timeout I would guess... you need to model the transit amount per client.. will it be small data or lots of streams of big data or lots of individual files like images to make pretty pages each has its own issues with scaling then what will the peak simulataneous request load be.. how many people at the same second will need some answer/page? this in reality is a server, IIS, database and CF issue .. each has specific limits IIS would handle it on a fast box with good bus as static traffic... With CF running... you have databse overhead that will go up as load does... you have template parsing/rendering... You probably are looking at maximum of 1000 users per box I would say... thats a maxium on something like a P3 sub 1000Mhz with dual processors... Idea is that at no point will 1000 people request the same document... if it can run 160 requests per second optimally with a 5-7 second maximum lag... you are covering the maximum users allocated to the box in a reasonable amount of time... as responsiveness needs driven to lower almost no wait state, reduce the users to the box essentially... You will need a load balancing plan undoubteldly.. you will need minimum of 3 boxes... 2 for this battering and one to catch a crashed one... ideally 4 servers I guesstimate... All this depends though highly on your applications. -paris Paris Lundis Founder Areaindex, L.L.C. http://www.areaindex.com http://www.pubcrawler.com 412-292-3135 [finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] [connecting people, places and things] -Original Message- From: Jesse Houwing <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2002 20:00:06 +0100 Subject: Re: ColdFusion practical limits > > If by "simultaneous transactions" you truly mean concurrent hits, > then 2000 > > is a pretty big number.

Re: secure email...
Doug,
I see how that sample utilizes the Reply-To as a parameterized value ..
pretty cool was to roll in the reply-to...
Are you aware of any list or decision on what values can be used (ie:
does CF have open architecture to handle and pass any value like that
which might be SMTP standards compliant or did CF folks just allow a few
like this)...
IMplemented that reply-to workaround on our mail to friend feature..
very cool.. thanks a bunch!

RE: secure email...
Oh we were using Mdaemon and it was nice and sweet... I could pass it emails without even having a fully qualified email address in there... We have users that daily with the friend feature type incorrect emails intentionally thinking it will prevent them from being emailed anything later... In turn, our new server says with those, oh not syntax valid email address, forget you :) so their email never reaches their friend... IMail is on my list to install and test for a while... just client/company cost... Otherwise we would be there... Moving away from Mdaemon because my email volume and clients is ever increasing that especially with mailing list broadcasts and such, a good SMTP spooler needs to replace Mdaemon's not so speedy one... outside of that issue Mdaemon has server us well for years.

secure email...
so we are in the process of changing email servers and we toggled relaying on and somehow the malicious spammers found it in record time and started bombing us with email to broadcast... That we are going to address on Monday in litigation against the sending companies... I was wondering how people were dealing with email from Cold Fusion applications to respond to such issues... Since CFMAIL doesn't support any login and password login type stuff... We have applications like mail to a friend that are particularly troublesome where the origin is an email that is not local to our servers and the recipient isn't local either... by every definition it fits the whole looks like spam definition to a properly closed email server...

well if folks are using flat sites, the need for the dreamweaver/gui markup crowd is pretty minimal... unless, the volume of work is so great.. this package can help alleviate that... and as long as they have a good team communications and someone on board from marketing/management who knows about consistency well the HTML markup god isn't really then needed...

The product is pretty niche oriented from my end... seems ideal that they say it only allows folks to edit non code portions.. hurrah if they manage to pull that portion off... seems to integrate nicely into dreamweaver... but hey, would non techy people really find that friendly..nice for the know bunch though.. drag and drop is nifty... I would summarize it as a web-enabled version control system that has nifty parsing to limit people to non technical portions... it really makes it seem brain dead... fine for samll edits, but hell I use existing Active X invoked editors to do the same and version control... the only thing it one ups me on is that limit them to non technical portions... We do that too, but we do it by only having a single content zone for them to edit per page and the editor only displays that when editing.. so yeah, nice to see edit region within context of entire document...

RE: Error Processing CFFILE
yeah Dave.. you and I a while back shared a thread on this I can tell you definitely in the Windows world, that outside of doing just the file requests, if you do a directory or maintenace function on a large directory with all those entries, your server is going to be mighty slow... and might even run the risk of crashing if you have load already... filing in the - mm format is a good start... go all the way down to third level with dd if volume.. and if mega volume... down to hh :) it might seem like overkill, but its a good habit if you even think any site might grow to a thousand or more uploaded files...

RE: Shorter urls?
simple: 1. person submits link via form to make shorter... 2. you insert data into database 3. when inserting one field called maybe "unique" is a random generated alpha numberic string... randomize and compare to existing data to make sure no dupe exists already... 4. write the long URL and the unique string... 5. pass the shorter back to the user.. but first: A. create an index handler that shows form if no string found otherwise looks up table entries to find match ... pauses, displays notice and then pushes them out... that's how I plan on implementing mine when I find a few hours :) -paris Paris Lundis Founder Areaindex, L.L.C. http://www.areaindex.com http://www.pubcrawler.com 412-292-3135 [finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] [connecting people, places and things] -Original Message- From: Kevin Graeme <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2002 12:42:58 -0600 Subject: RE: Shorter urls? > http://www.makeashorterlink.com is where you've probably seen it > done.

RE: Using CFEXECUTE from a Web Browser???
ahh, connect a printer to your server.. which isn't a smart idea... alternatively... hmmm CF from the server runs the custom batch to get report or whatever (custom barcode).. then uses the CFHTTP to post to a CF template on your local box where the printer is... you could use other means to accomodate... but generally, thats what I would do... or, you could just connect the webserver to the printer by mapping it as a connected printer resource - especially if the printer support IP or you have a print server attached to it... so you would print to like LPT2 instead which is really a mapped resource that isn't physically connected to the server but your workstation...

RE: Using CFEXECUTE from a Web Browser???
It all depends on the printer you are using.. if its a thermal barcode type, well you likely will need to but a printserver appliance to smack an IP to it... Now if laser is the case, HP tends to be mostly IP based on the business models or optional upgrade... Administration and all can be done via IP / Web browser... The firewall matter is easily remedied by opening the Microsoft service port used for such things... MS should have a list of PORT stuff somewhere on their website... numbers of firewall vendors make such available for easy configuration by new buyer. -paris Paris Lundis Founder Areaindex, L.L.C. http://www.areaindex.com http://www.pubcrawler.com 412-292-3135 [finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] [connecting people, places and things] -Original Message- From: "Dave Cordes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2002 12:04:09 -0500 Subject: RE: Using CFEXECUTE from a Web Browser??? > Interesting idea adding a printer via IP address.

Re: cfmail tag and looping output
We ship out about 13-20k in one big swoop in a similar method as you described... The actual program never takes much time... It's the CFMAIL spooling that takes a long time... I can't verify that CFMAIL drops stuff... I know though that you will end up with erroneous entries in your UNDELIVERABLE mail folder under CFUSION... To fix that we run the resend undeliverable tag found in the Developer's Exchange... it works fine for us... AS far as other related problems... Time is probably the largest issue... Cause CF runs that query.. and then starts parsing emails to the CF mail directory... then the CF server at maximum once per minute tries sending a batch of them to your SMTP server, where they then sit and wait for the mail server to process them to the outside world... There is Jochem's tag which allows you to write the files directly to your mailservers pickup directory... That is an interesting thing to look at... There is also a third party mail replacement that someone on the list sells and is highly recommended...

what I do with our mail issue in CF is the following: 1. All mail gets plugged to a network attached storage appliance 2. All SMTP servers access this shared space and utilize their own locking system so they don't step on each other CFADVANCEDMAIL is worth checking out... it has a direct to file system specification compliance writing mechanism so it can dump directly to your spool... If your spool area is shared disk, then having multiple SMTP suckers that all smell and work the same would work well.. and if one goes away it won't matter... Now if you want redundancy for IMAP/POP3 pickup thats a whole different discussion :) Paris Lundis Founder Areaindex, L.L.C. http://www.areaindex.com http://www.pubcrawler.com 412-292-3135 [finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] [connecting people, places and things] -Original Message- From: "Turetsky, Seth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2002 20:28:27 +0100 Subject: cfmail and smtp load balancing > What would be the easiest way to get cfmail to use multiple smtp > servers, either if one goes down or for load balancing?

RE: How Good is the Job Market for ColdFusion?
I would wager to say calculating this is little in the direction of accurate.. The only true gauges there are as follows: 1. Number of servers licenses sold for new units.. upgrades don't count... 2. Number of user group members 3. Number of subscribers to relevant user/developer publications (magazines).. As far as counting the total pages... I could say there are a lot of bad programmers generally who don't reuse templates... so for every piece of data in the database they have a flat file... Given that using a ? in the URL got you dumped in the engines until Google really, there are suspec to be enough dynamic sites that aren't counted in full... Additionally, some people like to map their stuff to be other things... so CF might be processing .html extensions... Needless to say its a pretty flawed mechanism to try to count as we are... And of course, the hosted environment... 1 box 400 clients... -paris Paris Lundis Founder Areaindex, L.L.C. http://www.areaindex.com http://www.pubcrawler.com 412-292-3135 [finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] [connecting people, places and things] -Original Message- From: "Phoeun Pha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2002 13:16:54 -0500 Subject: RE: How Good is the Job Market for ColdFusion? > THat still isn't HARD FACTS. > > It could mean 4 ASP servers with 89.2 million asp pages in their > apps, and > 20 million CF servers with X CFM pages in their apps combined.

Oh well... J2EE is anything but rapid.. so you guys will be losing the rapid :) It makes me wonder with these whole enterprise type licensure schemas exactly how off track people are going to get and what major shifts in the employee base will need to occur... These costs of change seemingly have to be factored and thus offset the cost of buying the CF licesnses... Its very similiar in my opinion to the people earlier on who said ASP is free, why would I pay for an app server... The answer was delivered in there bill, where the time was upto 60% bloat due to added complexity, debugging and time investment via ASP... With the Java solutions, I think the argument is relatively similar and has the taste of complexity and different programming mindset all over it... -paris Paris Lundis Founder Areaindex, L.L.C. http://www.areaindex.com http://www.pubcrawler.com 412-292-3135 [finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] [connecting people, places and things] -Original Message- From: "Trey Rouse" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2002 13:23:27 -0500 Subject: CFMX for j2ee: Is it a solution?

Re: free mail servers please - like Pegasus and Mercury
Yeah we handle all the hosting needs for our clients.. we have an older version of Mdaemon running.. Frankly, the cost of most servers is a bit daunting at first... Large one time expenses.. So we are looking figuratively to distribute the client activity... Considering loads of alternative solutions including *nix based email services... Really, we have volume issues I would say, enough business related broadcast emails.. business to business use.. which can be some heavy lifting...
