Re: [cfaussie] Re: Strange problem - Element RECORDCOUNT is undefined in query

[Mike K]

Have you run the query in your database to be certain it actually should
return some rows?   And that there's no syntax errors or anything like
that in the query itself?  It's possible that your CFQuery is correctly
returning no rows.

Re: [cfaussie] Has anyone used the HierarchyID data type in MS SQLServer?

[Mike K]

Thanks for your response, Christophe. And a good question.

I've been using Kevan Stannard's way of handling nested sets until now but
it is cumbersome in that it has to have 3 fields to position an element in
the tree. Moving an element from one place in the tree to another requires
quite a lot of sql.   Not a problem if there are only a few movements at a
time (e.g. a CMS) but in a products database there could be lots of
movements, or mass movements or whole product groups.

The MS HierarchyID uses a single field, which is part of the element's
record along with the part name, part number, etc etc,  and elements can be
moved around the tree with a single update statement on a single table,
just like updating any other field. That seems on the face of it to be
a much simpler thing to use.

Hence my question - my understanding is largely theoretical,   from reading
and a few small scale experiments.Before I dive in and commit to using
it, I thought I'd see if anyone else had used hierarchyID types and if
there were any 'gotcha's'  and if it did in fact deliver the improvements i
thought it might.

[cfaussie] Has anyone used the HierarchyID data type in MS SQLServer?

[Mike K]

Is anyone using the HierarchyID data type in MS SqlSERVER to organise data
into trees?

On the face of it,  accepting Microsoft's word for it  (always a risky
position to take, I know) it seems like a quick and straightforward way to
set up and manipulate data.

Has anyone any real life experience to draw on to give me an assessment
about whether Microsoft is full of it as usual or is it a step forward from
using nested sets and a tree table with right nodes and left nodes to
manipulate?   (I'm referring to Kevan Stannard's excellent piece on Nested
Sets that has kept my data sorted for quite a few years now)

Re: [cfaussie] SQL identity issue

[Mike K]

Can you combine that random number with something sequential like maybe an
index field?  that way you'll give the customer a random order number but
still be able to keep uniqueness.  You could generate the random
number,  then append the sequential index to it making a larger integer.

Or you could use the UUID

Re: [cfaussie] SQL identity issue

Whats the advantage of returning result.getPrefix().generatedkey  rather
than using the @@identity function of the database?

Is it just to make it database agnostic?  or is there another reason for
it?

[cfaussie] How to learn about IIS 10?

[Mike K]

Clearly I dont know anywhere near enough about IIs.  Can anyone recommend a
good way to learn about it?

I've looked at the usual places I learn things - Lynda.com,  TutsPlus.com,
  google for tutorials and learn,  and there isnt much available.

Even Microsoft's own sites dont have much.   Almost everything that's there
is about IIs7 or IIs8,  but the one with Windows 10 is IIs10, as far as I
can tell  (but it's hard to tell because I dont think anything actually
says in the 'about' tab.

And after the  frustration of the last week, it's pretty clear that
Microsoft themselves haven't got a clue about it or arent telling.I
wasted 8 days trying to talk to someone from there about how to make my IIS
work.   And didnt succeed.

Anyone have any good ideas where I can learn enough about IIs10 to be
self-sufficient on most routine things?

[cfaussie] IIS Error 500.19 0x80070005 Anyone had that?

[Mike K]

For day after frustrating day now I've been wrestling with this problem -
mostly swinging on the phone to Microsoft support,  and arguing over
whether I should be passed up the line to someone who can understand IIS.


Has anyone seen that problem and knows what I can do to get rid of it?

I had IIS working just fine until I updated this box to Windows 10
Profesional.Now my local pages show this error:

HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
ModuleIIS Web Core
NotificationUnknown
HandlerNot yet determined
Error Code0x80070005
Config ErrorCannot read configuration file due to insufficient
permissions
Config File
   \\?\D:\Sites\MySites\atalkingdog.com.2006\LiveSite\wwwroot\web.config


--I googled the problem and I think the problem is to do with permissions
on the user IIS_IUSRS .  So i've made sure that user has full control
permissions,  but the problem hasn't gone away.

Strangely,  the default page on http://localhost  works ok  and the CF
Administrator pages work fine.   It's just my own site that gives this
error.

Anyone have any hints where I should go now?

Microsoft dont have any Australian support staff any more - it's handled by
the low level support people in the Phillippines on 132058 who end up
passing me to the US support people who then say they wont help, even
though they could if they chose to.

Re: [cfaussie] IIS Error 500.19 0x80070005 Anyone had that?

[Mike K]

Thank you so much for responding, Bill and  Mark.   I'm a newbie IIS user,
so forgive me if i say dumb things ...  (been using Apache for 18 years -
just switched to IIS)

 It's IIS10 - the version that comes with Windows 10 Pro.

Bill:   I set them each up with their own application.pool, which is the
way the dialog box fills itself when I create a new site.I'm starting
to think I should have overridden that to use only DefaultAppPool.  Is that
how I should do it?

Follow-up question: How do i change it from what it is, to that?   I
can't see where i do that.

Mark:  Yes I have it set to anonymous authentication.   How do I find out
who the user it's set to run as?

Cheers
Mike Kear

Re: [cfaussie] IIS Error 500.19 0x80070005 Anyone had that?

[Mike K]

Bill I have some sites that have IUSR as the anomyous user,  and others
where the anonymous authentication credentials show "Application Pool
Identity".

If i look at the application pool identity,  I see that the identity is
ApplicationPoolIdentity.So I guess that's the answer -
 ApplicationPoolIdentity.

[cfaussie] THERE'S A FIRST!! A Sales call from Adobe!!!

[Mike K]

Wonders will never cease!!   After more than 20 years working in and around
ColdFusion,   I have NEVER heard from any sales people .  Not since
1997 anyway.And even after leaving message after message at Adobe in
Australia at various times who just weren't interested in discussing
opportunities with me, obviously because they never once took my call or
called me back.   Or even finding out what I was calling about.

Until today.

Today i had a call from someone from Adobe following up on my downloading
CF11 trial and seeing what possibilities there might be.

I was so flabbergasted I nearly dropped the phone.

He said he was put into this role because they were worried about the
enormous loss of developers and site owners to other technologies and were
wanting to find ways to turn that around.I'm afraid I was a bit
brutal on him, and told him in very blunt terms what I thought they could
do.He took it with good humour and I thought he listened and took in
what I said.

Well I hope so anyway.

Amazing.

His email says:

He's in India but his call sounded like it was coming from next door.   Not
at all like the other calls I get from India at this time of day.

[cfaussie] Need CSS3 help please. (Sorry off topic)

[Mike K]

Sorry this is off topic.I hope you'll all forgive me.

I need some help figuring out what i've got wrong with my CSS. Can
anyone see what i've got wrong (or more specifically what I need to do to
fix) with the page at http://modelwarship.com

The problem is when you hover over the menu items at the top of the page
(the ones with a red border temporarily around them).Instead of the
whole area changing colour,  only the top half of it changes. I can't
see where i've set the wrong line  height or whatever it is that's causing
the problem.

can anyone tell me what CSS setting is causing that problem?

Thanks in advance ...

Yep  that's the place.   Thanks Gareth.   I just need to tinker a bit with

Re: [cfaussie] CF on Windows 10 yet?

[Mike K]

If you remember the start of the saga a few weeks ago,  the problem began
when I upgraded one of my machines to Windows10 and my Apache didnt work.
So rather than try to figure out why,  I decided to switch to using IIS
instead. (the only place I use Apache any more is on my dev machines so I
figured I'd change my dev environment to match my servers)

That's when everything went pear-shaped on me.   And I've never got back to
working out either why Apache didnt work under Windows10 (other people have
said it works just fine , so I must have some difference in my setup
somewhere) or how to make CF work under Windows10 and IIS.

It's all still sitting in the 'too hard' basket waiting for Adobe, while I
get on with life.

Re: [cfaussie] CF and Windows 10 and IIS

[Mike K]

G'day Charlie,And the others following this thread..

I've been distracted away with more pressing matters relating to my domain
name registry so I havent done anything with the upgrade of my laptop to
Windows 10. I will need to get back to it, because I still have 3 more
machines upgrade,  or not.   And the decision what to do about those
machines is dependent on the outcome of this project - How do i get this
laptop upgraded to WIndows10 with ColdFusion running.

Currently its in the state of having Windows10 installed,  and everything
except ColdFusion running happily.

I'll hopefully get back to working on this during next week.   And I'll
keep you posted on what happens.   Good or bad.

Thank you Charlie for following up and staying across the issues.  You've
been a great help to CFers for a long time, and so you continue to be now.

 Indeed, there I was repeating it from the note before THAT one that I’d

 But in case you missed it (lots of words, to explain a challenging issue),

Re: [cfaussie] Anyone know how to contact ICANN?

[Mike K]

I have to close out my domain registry because the wholesaler I use has
stopped responding at all to anything.  I have support tickets outstanding
for a long time,  a domain I renewed was allowed to expire and now is
almost at deletion point,  funds I deposit into my account havent been
credited and they dont answer the phone or emails.   In other words  I
reckon the wholesaler I'm using is dead.maybe even the owner is dead
for all I know.

SO i have an Australian based registry that costs me a little more but I
can get them to respond when I need help.

THe only problem is,  one of the domains I manage is a .name domain.  And
it appears no one supports them. You can't register them or transfer
them into any registry I've found.  According to the listings,  Godaddy and
a few others support .name domains but when you actually go to their web
sites,  there's no way to renew/buy/transfer in .name domains.So I'm
trying to contact ICANN to see if they can prod my old wholesaler into
action,  and help me find a way to transfer this .name domain to somewhere.
  Then i Can close out my old registry account.

[cfaussie] Anyone know how to contact ICANN?

[Mike K]

Does anyone know how to contact ICANN?   I have a problem transferring some
domains and need to contact them to complain about my registrar, but there
is bazillions of pages with policy for this and policy for that, but no way
to contact them.

I found a page that is in a subdomain called archive.icann.org   which
doesnt look too promising - it has a CAPTCHA at the bottom, that refuses to
give me an image to get the characters from so I cant submit that form.

Anyone know where there's a submission form or complalint form or email
address or somethign I can contact them on?

Re: [cfaussie] CF and Windows 10 and IIS

[Mike K]

Andrew (Scott)  thanks for your input.Incisive as always.

I had a WIndows7 machine.With ColdFusion 9 Enterprise.  That's my dev
environment at the moment. I upgraded windows to WIn10 Home  and Apache
didnt work.  That's where this whole thread started. And I havent found
a way out of it yet, apart from moving CF up to CF11.

As it turns out,   ColdFusion 9 might run on any version of windows,  but
however its bloody well not running on my WIndows10 Home machine.  It wont
even run the installer.


I have 4 machines to deal with. The machine I'm working on at present
is the one i rarely use, but having any of the others out of action for
more than a day would be a big problem.  So i need to figure out what my
strategy is going to be before I even start on those ones.

 Mike,

 ColdFusion 9 will run on any version of Windows, it is Java. The issues
 arises when trying to use the connectors on anything above Windows 7 as
 well as the installer.

 You have a few options that will work, depending on if you have the time.

 As Andrew Myers hinted, running multiple instance of ColdFusion is always
 a good thing in development. It allows you to add instances of any version
 of ColdFusion if you have the war/ear files to do so. ColdFusion 9 is not
 supported on Tomcat, but it will run fine and you will need to know how to
 manually set sites up. I know there was issues during ColdFusion 10 beta
 days, where ColdFusion 9 wars had issues being deployed on ColdFusion 10
 installs. So you may be in for some long learning sessions on how to do
 this manually.

 Another option, but time consuming is to install Windows 7 and ColdFusion
 9 and update it to Windows 10. Although this should work it may run into
 further unsupported issues. I know ColdFusion 10 and ColdFusion 11 are
 running fine here on my Windows 10 machine, but this was an update from
 Windows 8. The only issue is the connector detects its unsupported, so
 knowing how to manually configure the server is going to be handy.

 My favourite, is to just throw as much ram into the main machine as
 possible and go and install VirtualBox. This will allow you to setup and
 install any amount of Virtual Machines to suit your taste.

 I am guessing that you are in need to have it run on ColdFusion 9 because
 sites you maintain use it, but too be honest I would be looking at
 ColdFusion 10 and ColdFusion 11, with a Virtual Machine running ColdFusion
 9 and then you can migrate the site over to ColdFusion 10 at your
 convenience.

Re: [cfaussie] CF and Windows 10 and IIS

[Mike K]

Ok y'all just knew that wasn't the end of the matter  didnt you g

I downloaded the CF9.0.2 from the repo that Charlie sent me to. It was
in a folder that was blank when I looked at,   and blank again when I
looked at it again,  while other folders had content in them.But when
Andrew sent me back there ... lo and behold! There was content.  So
I downloaded the file.  So far so good.


I uninstalled the old version of CF9 from that machine and all its
components using the uninstaller,checked in the Control panel
Uninstall programs that it was indeed gone,  and checked that all the
folders were gone.   Emptied the recycle bin,then rebooted the machine.


Now when I go to install the file I just downloaded  (using run as
adminstrator by the way),   I get an error message that seems to be
related to java and the install aborts.This happens before the first
install screen comes up - it never gets to the point where the installer
says welcome to ...  There's a java dialog box that says:

Fatal Application Error
This application has unexpectedly quit.
invocation of this java application has caused an
InvocationTargetException.This applicaton wil now exit (LAX)

And when I click on details   i see the following (which I'm afraid means
nothing to me).Can someone please tell me what's gone wrong here?
 Did I download the wrong version?

 Thanks for the update and the kind regards, Mike.

 One thing: you say you’ll “download the CF9 updater” because “removal of
 Verity doesn’t affect you”, but I want to make clear again that 902 is NOT
 AN UPDATER. You will need to uninstall your 9.0 or 9.0.1 install before
 proceeding. More on it at
 http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2013/8/19/understanding_ColdFusion_9.0.2_a_FAQ.
 Just want to be clear on what it is, and is not.

 Indeed, as for my thinking ahead to provide that download repo link you
 needed, I’ll just note that there’s a fine line between my “reading folks
 minds” in offering such extra detail, and being counted a “tall poppy”, but
 it’s a line I feel I need to walk. :-)

 I saw your next note where you had trouble getting it at the download
 repo. Will reply to that separately.

Re: [cfaussie] CF and Windows 10 and IIS

[Mike K]

Paul, I'm afraid you're right.I'm coming to the conclusion that Im
going to have to move my CF up to date.   What puzzles me is the number
of people who say it can work.I'm not doubting them, but if  they say
it'll work,   how come it doesnt work for me?   that's what I'm pondering
at the moment,  as my CF11 downloads.

In the mean time,   I'm not daring to upgrade the OS on my other machines.
  Leave well enough alone for now!!

We'll see now,  just how important ColdFusion is to Adobe.  Maybe we'll

 Hey Mike,

 I can't vouch for ColdFusion 9, but I don't recall Adobe actually
 updating the installer to work on Windows 8+. What you are experiencing
 seems to point to that as an issue.

 Now there is a known hack, but it is really use at your own risk, to
 extract the install files and install everything manually. The installer
 used prior to Windows 8, would have issues that you describe.

 When using the connectors, these must be run elevated as well.

 ColdFusion 10 and ColdFusion 11 as they both have the new updated
 installers, should work on Windows 10 as they do work on Windows 8. But I
 just can't vouch for ColdFusion 9, if it has these update installers or not.

 Woah, woah. Slow your roll, Mike. :-) To you both, about CF not supporting
 Windows 10, well I did point that out in my last note. It is NOT yet
 supported.

 And if you visit the Adobe blog post (which Peter pointed to), there’s a
 discussion of that (which I initiated last night). The post is
 http://blogs.coldfusion.com/post.cfm/configuring-connectors-manually-for-iis-10)
 where they offer the steps for how to get an aspect of CF 10/11 to work
 with IIS on Windows 10 (which I did NOT need to do to get CF 11 running ok
 on Windows 10). And those interested will see there that I offered a
 comment there for Adobe asking (as I knew many would) when CF 10/11 would
 be updated to run on Windows 10? And I address the countervailing points of
 “well no one should run a new OS in production as soon as it comes out” vs
 “but developers need to be able to test against it as soon as it comes
 out”. We’ll see what they may say.

 And Mike, you ask here “does this mean NO ONE is using ColdFusion and
 Windows 10”, I said in my last post that I DO have it working myself ( but
 again, it’s not supported yet.)

 Moving back to your problem, I hope my earlier not (just sent) helps with
 that. It’s 11pm my time, so I probably won’t see a reply until my tomorrow.

Well I certainly wish I could find out how. Is there a resource anywhere
that will show me how?

This is rapidly becoming the same nightmare as I've had before setting up
ColdFusion. It plainly does NOT work for me, as I have spelled out in
detail several times. I haven't had much more response than people saying
it works for me. Or  it doesn't work at all

I would dearly love to know HOW I can make Cf9 work with windows 10 if the
installer won't connect it, Apache doesn't connect either, running the web
connect tool doesn't run-it just hangs

[cfaussie] CF and Windows 10 and IIS

I am about to upgrade some of my machines to Windows 10 and I thought it
would be a good opportunity to drop Apache and start using IIS instead.   (
I'm doing the first upgrade on a laptop I dont use much, so if anything
goes pear-shaped it's no big deal. )

Can anyone point me to any resources for learning about the Win10 version
of IIS (or any version if it comes to that - my knowledge of IIS is pretty
basic)

And how do I connect CF (I have CF9 Enterprise installed) to IIS instead of
the Apache I've been using?   DO i have to uninstall and reinstall CF9?

Re: [cfaussie] CF and Windows 10 and IIS

[Mike K]

I'm sorry Rae,  that doesnt make any sense to me.

What might be an app?

What would getting control panel do for me?

And I'm sure you had the normal result from Apache but I've never had the
normal result from Apache ever since I first started using it back at CF5
days.   It's always been a pain in the neck to get it to do anything on a
new install. The only thing that works fine for me with Apache is
installing a new web site.

Anyway I now have servers on line with IIS and I need to know a lot more
about managing them than I do,  so that's the main reason I wanted to
switch.This hiccup with Apache now is not unexpected,  given the
history I've had with it,   but it's given me the push to get off my ass
and learn more about IIS.

 basic)



 And how do I connect CF (I have CF9 Enterprise installed) to IIS instead

Re: [cfaussie] CF and Windows 10 and IIS

[Mike K]

In this case I have now tried :

[ A ] Run the jrun web server configuration utility. ( the green thing ) to
connect ColdFusion to IIS It hangs saying it can't find a folder. But
doesn't tell me which folder it can't find and since there's no place to
enter a folder location up to that point I have no way to find out.

[ B ] uninstall ColdFusion, thinking if I reinstall it, it might resolve
that folder issue by itself. Nope. Still hangs at the point of configuring
the web server. Obviously the same problem, but still no way to work out
what the problem is

[ C ] uninstall ColdFusion again and reinstall as single server rather than
J2EE. Same result

So unless I can get the web server configuration utility to work I think
I'm screwed on this machine

Re: [cfaussie] CF and Windows 10 and IIS

[Mike K]

Charlie, I'm grateful to you for your willingness to step up, as always.
You've been an asset to the community for a long time, and so it continues.


All i wanted to do, was upgrade my windows.   I have 4 machines all running
Windows 7  (one with Win7 ultimate,  2 with Win7 Pro,  and 1 with WIn7Home
Premium. ) Being cautious ever since an awful experience with Windows95
 years ago,  I started with my WIn7Home Premium laptop, which I dont use
very often.If it went pear-shaped on that machine it wouldn't be a big
deal.   And i can take as long as I need to get it worked out before I
need to upgrade all the other machines.

So I upgraded the Windows on that laptop.  Went swimmingly.   Just as
advertised.Took me a couple of hours to get a human to talk to me at
Microsoft so I could find out how to get hold of the installer so I didnt
have to download it all 4 times,   but finally i got what I needed.
 I upgraded my windows and started testing all the applications I had
loaded on there. To my surprise everything worked.Just as they had
previously,  but with a better look.   And to my amazement,  the new
Microsoft browser looks at first glance to be a fine piece of work.
(But I have yet to give it a real good workout) And Bing is no better
than it used to be.

But when I went to check how my dev versions of my sites ran,   I came into
problems.They are built on CF9 Enterprise.

My Apache didnt run.Wouldn't start. I could have debugged it and
got it working maybe, but I figured that I didnt know enough about IIS, and
I own a server that serves pages with IIS,  and i really need to know more
about IIS.   So.  why not take this opportunity to start using IIS in my
dev environment.   How hard can it be??? So I just left Apache
alone.   I removed it from the list of programs that auto start on reboot
and that's where it stayed.

HAH   You'd think I would learn wouldnt you. These things NEVER run
smoothly for me.  Never have,  so why would I expect this to be any
different?

I installed the IIS components,  taking a guess as to what elements I'd be
needing if all i was doing was using it as a web server for my ColdFusion
sites and maybe a simple static site or two. I loaded a static site
into it and it worked fine. Great.   I can assume IIS is working ok,
even if I'm not 100% i have all the required components.

Now all I have to do is connect my CF9 to IIS and run a CF site on it and I
can relax.  If only!

So if you've followed this thread you'll see that I started out just trying
to add IIS using the Web Connector tool. That didnt work.   It just
hung, and never got to the point of offering me the web servers it's found
for me to select. The dialog box opened and it started searching for
web servers installed on the machine and that's where it stayed.

So i figured maybe what I'll do is uninstall CF9 and reinstall it.   That
way I can eliminate Apache from everything, in case that was the problem.

I did that 3 times all with the same result.I installed CF9 as each of
the variants offered in the install routine.   Each time it would install
apparently fine,   but hang at the last point where it's connecting to the
web server.

That's where I'm up to. I don't know whether a Windows10/CF9
combination is EVER going to work,  or I need to go to a later version of
CF.  (I am sticking with CF9 because that's what 's on my server, and I
like to have my dev environment as similar to the production environment as
I can get.But I can upgrade if that's the only way to go to Win10.  I
guess I'm going to have to update CF sooner or later, but I have no need
yet because of clients needing the newer features or anything like that.
I dont want to go to that expense just to stay near the cutting edge.
 I'll upgrade when/if there's a client need.  )


I want to upgrade all my machines to Windows10 for reasons unrelated to web
development.   There are some problems with another app that we use for the
radio station programming that are unstable and need upgrading.   It's not
urgent  but we have a year before Win10 is no longer free.

So I dont know what to do next.I suspect one option might be just wait
till Adobe provide a fix.

   Do you have any suggestions?

Re: [cfaussie] Are there any mid-snr CF devs left in Australia

[Mike K]

I'm guessing a lot of us got sick of the daily grind of finding people who
would pay for our skills and went off on our own projects.  I dont look for
contracting work any more - sometimes it comes my way, but I'm just not
interested in talking to whippersnappers who think cos im over 40 years
old I must be stupid and incapable of understanding the interweb.   I built
my first web site in 1996,  and I spend about a third of my time learning,
just like everyone else, and I stay up with current techniques, just like
everyone else,   but unlike the whippersnappers, I have a few miles on the
clock and know a bit about how to sell things and communication.

But try telling that to someone aged 25 who is barely out of short pants.
 They rate you on what kind of tie you are wearing at the interview, and
ask questions like '.. and where do you see yourself in 5 years?'.   Or the
total stupido- what do you think is your weakest quality?(to which
I'm thinking ..Do you want an experienced programmer or dont you?   and
for how long?  months or years?   I'm not looking for a career here - just
to do the job you want done.  When you call a plumber to fix your sink, do
you ask him what his career aspirations are?)

That's why I'm not in the market any more.

I'm still using ColdFusion a lot, and I'm building some pretty
sophisticated applications, and maintaining some pretty sophisticated web
 sites.   I cant remember the last time I tried to sell anyone on
ColdFusion over other technologies.  Few of my clients care a damn.  They
talk about the end result web site,  not the technology used to build it.

[cfaussie] Australia: Calculating shipping costs programmatically

[Mike K]

I have a client who sells car parts and wants to be able to conduct sales
on line, including credit card processing.  That means we're going to have
to calculate shipping costs, I think, so that his site knows the entire
price of the order at the time of placing it.

Up until now,  he's been able to get away with processing the order,  then
personally working out the best way to ship the goods,  calling the courier
or shipping company,  then calling his customer back with the total value
of the order then processing the credit card transaction manually. This
was a workaround a couple of years ago when we first built the site, but it
is too cumbersome now and we need to automate it.

How are the rest of you handling shipping costs?The goods,  being car
parts,  are sometimes really bulky, like a racing seat,  sometimes small,
like a set of spark plugs,  sometimes heavy like a Diff assembly or a
gearbox or an alloy racing wheel hub.

Is there any shipping company handling all-around-Australia shipping that
would have an API that I could use to work out the value of the shipping
costs?   UPS and FEDEX  do this in the USA,  and presumably are
possibilities for us here too,Is there anyone else I should consider?

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Adobe appear to be unable to handle my customer issue - or even talk to me.

[Mike K]

Nothing and no one is indispensable, Matt.   But i dont want to have to
change all my methods.  I just wanted them to process my payment so my
creative cloud subscription stayed valid. I dont think it should have
taken nearly a month to get it done.  It's a fairly simple thing to do -
re-process a credit card that doesnt pay the first time.Like a lot of
people,  for online transactions, I use a credit card that rarely has any
money in it, for security purposes.I put money in that account to cover
transactions that I know are going through.

Only this time, I cut it a bit fine and there was insufficient funds to
cover the CC subscription payment so it bounced.  Now I have spent about 6
hours of otherwise billable time trying to get the problem fixed.It
should have taken no more than 5 minutes to get it fixed.

What a huge workload it would be to find, download, install, configure,
learn,  tweak and become fluent with alternative apps for Photoshop,
 Fireworks,  Dreamweaver,  Audition,  Bridge,  Lightbox,  Edge,  ColdFusion
Builder  - all of which I use almost daily, when all i really wanted was
for Adobe to just process my credit card payment.

However, as I said earlier, it has turned out ok finally - they've given me
a couple of months subscription free as compensation for the hassle.   Not
exactly the equivalent of 6 hours' billable time but I can live with it.

 Mike,

 I found the number switching regions on the Adobe website, and yes, that
 is the Australian Adobe customer service.

It's resolved now, Chris. but no I didnt call the 1800 number, because I
was of the understanding that American 1800 numbers arent accessible from
Australia.  There was no indication that this was not an American 1800
number.Have you managed to call it and get an answer?

[cfaussie] Adobe appear to be unable to handle my customer issue - or even talk to me.

[Mike K]

Apparently,  Adobe are unable to process ANY credit card details,

And it would seem they are unable to have anyone in Australia take a phone
call.  I have been trying for nearly a MONTH to get to talk to someone
about this and never get to anyone. I leave messages and no one ever calls
me back.

There was an issue with my credit card when they went to process my
November Creative Cloud payment,   but instead of just trying it again a
day or so later as most companies do,  I had to go and update my CC
details.  I did that (the details were correct already but I updated them
anyway)  and would expect a new attempt at payment in a day or so and all
would be well. NO such luck with Adobe.I keep getting messages when
I open any CC application saying I have xx days to update my details or it
will be cancelled.

I have contacted their support  THREE times - and been assured the issue
will be resolved.I  have been promised that someone from the
appropriate team will contact me.No such luck.   I have been assured
that my card will be charged within 24 hours and all will be well.   NO
such luck.   I have used a new credit card.That hasnt been charged
either.   I have now tried changing the credit card details back to the
original card.   Still hasn't charged, therefore my CC subscription is
STILL unpaid.

Now I have only 5 days left before my creative cloud subscription expires
and I assume I'll be unable to open my CC applications at all.

If i can't get to talk to anyone at Adobe on the phone,   multiple contacts
to the support centre have come to nothing,   several emails have had no
result,  I dont know what choices I have left.

Apart from going to the NSW Department of Fair Trading and complaining,  or
taking Adobe to the small claims court,   or exploring the possibility of
pirate copies,   what the hell else can I do?I NEED those applications.

Update:

I had yet another online chat with a support person.   This is the fourth
so far.This time I got quite aggressive with the poor person - he got
full blast.But I managed to get his attention beyond the normal
boilerplate phrases they usually use.( I believe I'm entitled to be a
bit aggressive, because I've been hounding them for nearly a month and had
plenty of promises with no result )  He arranged for someone to phone
me from the billing department.   When i told him I'd been promised that
half a dozen times with no result,  he said he'd make sure I got a call
NOW,  while he was still on the chat.   That way we could be sure a
resolution happened.(Good move on his part I think).

Someone called me  and I gave him my credit card details yet again. I
honestly tried to keep my sarcasm and irritated manner to a minimum but I
don't think i was very successful.

Now I've just received an email advising me that my Creative cloud
membership has been processed.  And it's been extended with 2 months free
as compensation for the trouble I've had.

So I reckon that's a good outcome.   It shouldn't have taken so long to
resolve, but I think at last someone there has shown some good sense and
instead of giving me assurances and promises,   has actually DONE something
about it,  and compensated me for all the hassle they caused.

Dale,  I went to the Adobe.com web site and went to support.  There is a
mechanism there if you hunt hard enough and look long enough to get a live
chat to a support person.   You can tell they really dont want you to do it
because it's so well hidden and there are disclaimers about how long a wait
you might have but it's the only way I've found to get to communicate with
an actual person, until your suggestion about using twitter.

Thanks Andrew.  I guess if i have a problem I can describe in 140
characters I'll consider joining twitter and using that method in future.

 The support on twitter is similar to the support you received, difference
 is they respond a lot quicker. If they don't have the answer they will get
 back to you after chasing it up, as with anyone who can forget a quick DM
 to them will remind them to chase it up for you. A lot of the times it is
 their own staff that forget to get back to them.

 I think my experience is the same as others with the support from twitter,
 they do bend over backwards to help there.

[cfaussie] How to learn to build mobile apps..

[Mike K]

I need to learn how to build mobile apps for iPad/iPhone and Android.

I have been building responsive web sites for mobile devices and think I
have a reasonable understanding of the issues involved with that, but I
have a project coming up that will require a full-on app not just a web
site.

So here's my question to those of you who build mobile apps ... how would I
go about learning this?   Is there a course i can take?   On line course?
Books?Where do i gather the skills?

I dont have a tertiary qualification in programming - everything I've
learned so far I've picked up along the way, so I have quite a steep
learning curve for building mobile apps, I think.
