[ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion developer position

2018-08-14 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Hi,

We are looking for a CF developer. We are looking for a mid level
programmer but if anyone knows a web passionate entry level programmer or
even a senior CF programmer looking for work, then please ask them to email
me their updated resume.

We are located in Chattanooga TN.

Atlanta, Nashville, Knoxville candidates will be given preference but that
is not a deal breaker.

Thanks,

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] TLS in CFLDAP [Lucee]

2018-03-02 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Rob,

I have not used Lucee but I believe it's java behind the scenes.

If yes, then what's the jdk version?

If you are on say jdk 1.8, you can add this to your jvm.config
Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2
. Check for other jdk also like 1.7.

Thanks,

Great to see the action in the group.

I think with stack overflow and several other mediums available to discuss
issues, people tend to follow that route vs the good old days of forum
posts. Love those old days.

I still feel we should post our challenges or tricks/cheats related to CF
or anything for that matter.

Hi,

I have reached out to everyone who had emailed. Please email me personally
if you have questions.

Remote option is ok for the right candidate.

PT definition can change for different teams. We need someone who is
available mon - fri. One off exception can be made if someone wants to do
mon-thur.

This is definitely not an after hours part time position.

 1. Are you guys using CFBuilder? If not, what are you using?
My team uses CFBuilder as their primary tool. Everyone loves it.

2. If you are, has anyone solved the 'CFBuilder can't see network shares'
problem?
Not sure if I have seen this before. Which version are you using?

I personally like to play with different editors and right now I am playing
with Sublime Text. Its an awesome editor. Worth looking at it just for
other tasks like log viewing etc. It is super fast.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF11 IIS7.5 on different servers

2015-04-28 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Hi Cameron,

I am looking for generation information to how to set it up. So CF is on
one server1, and code base is lets say on IIS server2 inetpub root. I would
create a site abc on IIS server2 which looks for code in inetpub root. Now
the main part, if I run web server config tool from CF server1 that creates
the IIS connectors, how do you make it refer to site on different IIS
server2?

By the way, we have always done CF Server install (not the J2EE) in our
environment.

Also, this would be setup in QA initially and has to definitely work in a
load balanced environment. So if there are any issues, then I would like to
know now rather than later.

Any pointers or help is appreciated.

Thanks,

 The site has worked for years and still works fine in IE and FF but for
 some reason Chrome is just displaying a blank white page when typing in the

 Anyone else having this issue?

 Thanks in advance,

[ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion 9.0.1 64 bit - missing ColdFusion 9 ODBC Agent ColdFusion 9 ODBC Server

2014-08-04 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Hi,

I used the same installer to install  ColdFusion 9.0.1 64 bit on Windows
2008 R2 server and I noticed, I am  missing ColdFusion 9 ODBC Agent 
ColdFusion 9 ODBC Server on 2 out of the 4 servers I did the installation.

FYI, during installation I chose the default options, i.e. to install
documentation and all services but yet the services are missing. Same steps
, same defaults were followed/installed.

Any ideas? Dont tell me re installation is the only option I have.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Issues with SOAP Services

2014-01-17 Thread Ajas Mohammed
 Hi there, ( as I was about to hit send) I saw Charlies email. Go over that
as well. Charlie, the only thing I would say is, He moved to CF 9 yet He is
having same issues as far as I can tell from his email.

Here are my thoughts.

Web services in CF sometimes looks like a blessing and the very next minute
it looks like someone has cursed you for, not flashing your indicator
lights while changing lanes, not holding door for someone entering the room
after you. You get the idea. I agree sometimes the restart seems to jump
start everything fine, when you had done same things 1000 times before
restart with ONLY dreaded errors as a result.

The few things that come to my mind are, are you saving the SOAP requests.
I would like to compare the worked request vs the 500 error request, what
is different in the request, small things like that matter. Please do that.
I know it sounds silly but sometimes you never know. I would make a brave
call on the No such operation 'setSkuStati'. I have seen that error when
the parameters dont match the actual webservice method.

I am willing to help. Is this something you can share or is it confidential.

 *Subject:* [ACFUG Discuss] Issues with SOAP Services



 Everyone,



 I have been working on a SOAP Web services project for a couple of months
 using CF10.  The logic in the methods is fine, but the services are
 unstable.  I am going to walk down the path and show errors and explain
 what we tried to do to address it.  Any advice or insight is appreciated.



 Originally, this was the config:

 CF10 using Axis 1 – all patches applied and connectors re-created

 IIS 7

 Windows Server 2008

 SQL Server (on another machine)



 1)  We experienced random errors that would resolve after we
 restarted CF.

 2)  We also had an issue with IIS blowing up the app pool if we sent
 a large request (array of objects).  We installed Apache and it handled the
 large request no problem.



 So we tried to use AXIS2.  Same issue with random failures on services.



 So,

 We rolled back to CF9

 Using IIS



 IIS did not blow up app pool on large requests.



 We are still having random service issues though:



 Problem:

 For example, there is a method called setSkuStati



 This accepts an array of objects that contain the following data:

 SkuID xsi:type=xsd:double/SkuID

prepOnline xsi:type=xsd:boolean/prepOnline

sellOnline xsi:type=xsd:boolean/sellOnline

skuUpdated xsi:type=xsd:boolean/skuUpdated

styleId xsi:type=xsd:double/styleId

timestamp xsi:type=xsd:dateTime/timestamp



 Normally it returns the string “Worked”



 Randomly this method will start failing.  I am testing with SoapUI and we
 also have an external user calling the service via .Net application.  When
 it fails, we get 500 errors and the response is this:



 Here is the fault string:

 No such operation 'setSkuStati'



 Here is the detail from fusion reactor:




 com.intergral.fusionreactor.j2ee.filter.FusionReactorResponseWrapper.setStatus(FusionReactorResponseWrapper.java:158)

 org.apache.axis.transport.http.AxisServlet.configureResponseFromAxisFault(AxisServlet.java:818)

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] wsconfig - CF 9.0.1 Windows 2008 R2 IIS 7

2013-11-21 Thread Ajas Mohammed
I thought I would share what I saw today which is really surprising.

So When I run wsconfig tool as administrator, I see  sites : All, site1,
site2 and under D:\ColdFusion9\runtime\lib\wsconfig folder, I see  1, 2, 3
folders which matches All, site1, site2. The reason the folders 2 and 3
were created is because I didnt select ALL sites the time I ran wsconfig to
configure site1 and site2. The reason I did this is because I wanted each
site to have its own pool of requests i.e. 25 or 50 whatever you set.

Now there was a new site added recently. So per documentation, I ran
wsconfig as administrator and selected ADD on first screen, and on next
screen, I selected ALL this time (because the CF documentation says so).
So, once the configuration tool completes, I was expecting folders 1,2,3,4
under D:\ColdFusion9\runtime\lib\wsconfig . The tool finished running and
sure enough I saw folder 4. I was like all is well. After few minutes, that
folder 4 was gone/deleted automatically. The site/cfm page seems to be
served fine. I am just baffled that the folder dissapeared just like that.

Has anyone seen this? If it had not created folder 4, I would have been OK
thinking, well it added configuration under folder 1 because I selected ALL
site while configuring this new site. The creation of folder 4 and that
folder dissapearing has raised few doubts in my mind.

Thanks,

 Ah, ok. Well, the issue is that that document was written when CF 9.0.1
 (or as it called itself there, “ColdFusion 9 update 1”) was released.

 The information it states was true then, a few years ago. They just did
 not think to go back and update it as they created hotfixes after the fact.
 And one could argue they could/should have been more clear and says “yes,
 at least those that are available as of  date when the 9.0.1 installers
 were built.”

 So we see here how this is a pernicious problem with respect to anything
 you read. I see people relying on old blog posts or form threads from years
 ago, who assume that they state what is true (“they can’t say anything
 that’s not true on the internet”, right?), but they don’t consider that it
 may have been true then but is no longer. It may be because versions of
 software change, it may be because understanding about how things work has
 changed (for that writer, or for the community, and so on).

 More than anything, I’d argue that this stems from people being rather
 lazy in their writing, as above in the technote Ajas mentions. People need
 to write more carefully knowing that what they say may stand for years. And
 if folks wondered why I wrote so much when I do, that’s as much part of the
 reason as anything. People generally need the full context to really
 understand things. At least, that’s how I see it. :-)

 Again thanks. I think I am guessing that the correct answer to this is 75
 because of different application pools. I could be wrong though, like you

 One thing I found which is weird I have jrun_iis6_wildcard instead of

 Thank you sir. You are the best!!!.



 Do you see any issues with these separate folders? Plus what about the
 whole logic about concurrent requests and IIS bug? In this case without the
 fix (maxworkerthreads=25) and default worker process (1) and seperate
 application pools for all sites plus 2nd folder and 3 folder as well, does
 it mean this



 1. 25 default setting for concurrent req (bug) x for all sites and 25 x
 for 2nd folder and 25 x for 3rd folder = 75

  or

 2. 25 max requests for all sites , 2nd folder site, 3 folder site = 25 max
 requests overall

 In terms of security, for CF 9.0.1, do I need to install anything like
 hotfixes  patches? I thought everything was included in the 9.0.1 updates,
 is that not the case?

 Can someone point me to link for hotfixes  security patches for CF 9.0.1.

 Thanks,

[ACFUG Discuss] wsconfig - CF 9.0.1 Windows 2008 R2 IIS 7

2013-11-04 Thread Ajas Mohammed
We have brand new servers with CF 9.0.1 Windows 2008 R2 IIS 7 (removed IIS
6 comptability from IIS before install).

After the CF 9.0.1 installation, I believe I had to run wsconfig the first
time to configure connectors for ALL IIS 7 sites. All was perfect.

Recently, 2 new sites were added and I had to run wsconfig tool again. I
was under the impression that any new site will take the settings from
default site which was set properly for IIS 7.

Anyway, after running wsconfig for these new 2 sites, now I have folders
1,2,3 under D:\ColdFusion9\runtime\lib\wsconfig which surprised me.

Is this normal? also why these 2 sites didnt go under folder 1 like other
sites?

Thanks,

Ajas.

2013-11-04 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Thank you sir. You are the best!!!.

Do you see any issues with these separate folders? Plus what about the
whole logic about concurrent requests and IIS bug? In this case without the
fix (maxworkerthreads=25) and default worker process (1) and seperate
application pools for all sites plus 2nd folder and 3 folder as well, does
it mean this

1. 25 default setting for concurrent req (bug) x for all sites and 25 x for
2nd folder and 25 x for 3rd folder = 75
 or
2. 25 max requests for all sites , 2nd folder site, 3 folder site = 25 max
requests overall

Thanks,

 Ajas, that was so with IIS 6 but no longer so with IIS 7 (particularly
 without running in IIS 6 compat mode, as you indicated). In IIS 7, the
 settings no longer propagate to newly added sites. You do have to run the
 wsconfig tool to either do a remove/re-add of “all sites”, or you can
 individually connect the new sites to CF (as you did). And in that case, it
 WOULD create a new folder under wsconfig, as that is one per “connection”
 between IIS (one or all sites) and CF.

[ACFUG Discuss] color pdf to grayscale Black white pdf

Hi,

Before I start the google search, just wanted to check if anyone knew of a
way (automation/script) for converting pdf generated in CF 9 into grayscale
or Black White pdfs to reduce the file size.

Hmm, good suggestion Troy, if someone has no other option but to live with

 One thing I’ve encountered when using certain CF goodies like cfinput
 type=”datefield” is that there can be a good amount of collision with the
 site’s styling, for example, on td and th elements. One thing you might
 try is to load your site’s style sheet last, immediately before the
 /body. Or, something I’ve done in the past is to identify the colliding
 classes/styles and drop the !important keyword into my styles to override
 the ones provided by CF. Unfortunately I don’t have any example of this
 that isn’t behind a login but I think you should be able to use one of
 those tricks to fix the problem.

 This is probably something discussed prior or a well known issue and work
 around but my searches have not yielded any results for me.

  

 I'm trying to add a cfwindow (a tag that I've not used in some time) on a
 CF9 server. My issue is that when I add the window it overwrites a lot of
 my styles/classes for the page I'm displaying it on.

  

 Does anyone have a solution or a link to a solution so I can actually fix
 the issue rather than searching all afternoon?

  

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  

 Thanks!!

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF 10 webservice complex type within complex type

2013-09-17 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Bill,

Great suggestion. So lets say there are 3 benefits sent in webservice, can
you think of how I could loop through them?

I can get no of elements in benefits struct via StructCount is :
#StructCount(benefits[1])# , which in this case gives me 3
because,#StructKeyList(benefits[1])#  StructKeyList is -
medcert,benefitType,benefitReferenceNumber

Just wondering how would I check/loop if there is benefits[1], benefits[2],
benefits[3]. I wouldnt know if 3 or 4 etc benefits were sent, so a dynamic
approach would help.

Thanks again,

 Hello everyone,

 I created a CF 10 webservice (attached code) that has complex type as one
 of the arguments. This complex type has another complex type in it. See
 attached code

 Overview :

 complextype.cfc is the actual webservice and then it has benefits complex
 type, which is benefits.cfc, and benefits.cfc has medcert complex type
 which is medcert.cfc .

 I am able to consume this webservice in CF 10 via
 Consume_fncomplextype_Soap2.cfm and all is good but question is how do I
 read/parse data from the complex type that has another complex type in it.
 I think it comes out as struct (within struct perhaps???) but I havent got
 chance to play with it.

 If anyone knows how to do this then let me know.

 Thanks,

One more thing to add, one of our apps uses Verity and I think that support
is gone in 9.0.2, not sure about 9.0.1.

 which tries to open the administrator

 http://localhost or http://localhost/*iisstart.htm doesnt work. *After
 Basically, *.cfm and *.htm or *.html also stop working. 

 The handler for request path ( * ) points to

 I found several results on google search and pretty much tried everything
 ( as in making sure IIS roles that are needed are installed and so on). Can
 anyone suggest what I might be missing here?

which tries to open the administrator

 Doug, here’s something even some experienced hoster’s don’t know: after
 installing CF10, and/or adding updates, for many of the updates you need to
 then rebuild the web server connector (meaning they have to open CF’s web
 server config tool, then remove and re-add the connection of a site or all
 sites to a CF instance.) Only on doing that do they get the benefit of some
 connector changes that were introduced in a few of the updates (of the 11
 updates to CF 10 so far since last May).

 This is mentioned pretty clearly in the update page, but most people in my
 experience are just missing/ignoring it, and they just apply the update and
 never rebuild the connectors. They can confirm if they have by checking the
 date of that very isapi_redirect.dll page. If it’s dates in March of 2012,
 or November of 2012, it’s old. If it’s June of 2013, it’s as of update 11.
 If they are not yet on update 11, but it’s dated in March, they need to
 update to at least update 5 and then rebuild the connector, to solve some
 pretty serious problems that update 5 addressed (last year).

 Now, I don’t know if any of these updates that change the connector will
 solve your specific REST problem, but if indeed there is some related
 problem with the connector itself, then it’s worth a shot. (I don’t work
 with REST myself, so don’t know how to connect any other dots based on what
 you’ve reported previously.)

 WEll, no solution still on this.  Hostek moved the site to a different
 newer server, the hands in the air we already rebooted solution.  Still
 same behavior.  The REST service cranks up, but then dies out within 24
 hours.  *C:\ColdFusion10\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.dll *is in
 the error page from IIS, almost makes me think the connectors are at fault.
  But then, I've been away from admining CF for too long.  Might ask Hostek
 to try out using a Linux server instead...

 Good to hear. (Well, that’s a sad part of my business: sometimes it

 As for your question, FR is mainly a monitor of CF (or whatever java based
 server process you install it into, whether a CFML server like CF, Railo,
 or Open BlueDragon, or a java servlet engine/jee server like jboss, tomcat,
 jetty, resin, etc.).

 Now, it also happens to watch the system-wide CPU, in addition to that
 within the instance, but that’s all that it watches “outside” the instance
 it monitors.

 Of course, I don’t want to short-change FR. I love it and work with it
 almost daily, and help people use it to solve problems that may have
 plagued them for years. But that’s the frank answer (pardon the pun) to

 Thanks all for the insight...

 And just as Charlie predicted, the event happened again without tripping
 the alert.

 One benefit, even though I was not actively watching what happened, I did
 have the server monitor running. The event happened when the server was
 only using 440MB, with 1.2GB free in the jvm allocation. So it definitely
 is not a memory issue. (It also happened in between GC cycles, so that
 isn't the issue either.)

 As for the possibility of the CPU, I won't discount this, but I doubt it
 would be from CF. We do use CFDocument/CFPDF which I know grab resources,
 but normally those pages are during the morning, and it actually happened
 twice last night at a time when I would not expect it.

 I'll have to gather more information. I'm starting to think that the cause
 may be outside CF. I'm going to try to look at all the system logs and try
 to piece together exactly what was happening at the time of the event.

 Another question though...  Fusion Reactor monitors the entire system, not
 just CF right? (i.e. it can track running system processes, not just what
 CF is doing) If this is true, this may be the next step if my efforts are
 fruitless.

 Thanks,
 Frank

 page for JRun too busy or out of memory


 It doesn't happen often, (maybe once or occasionally twice a business day)
 but as everyone understands, users aren't happy when it happens to them.

 This is a linux box, 64bit Centos 6, CF9 Enterprise, 64bit jvm version
 1.7. (The jvm was installed separately from CF for security and coldfusion
 uses it.)

 I doubt it is actually an out of memory condition (though I could be
 wrong) The server has 6GB of physical memory and another 6GB of swap. It
 rarely needs to use swap. (i.e. I have not observed it.)

 The jvm is given significant memory to use as well. It is using a 64bit
 jvm with the settings of 1GB min JVM heap, as well as a 3GB max. When I
 look through the server monitor, it is normal to see 1 to 1.5GB allocated
 and between 100-750MB used. (I see a normal sawtooth pattern with the
 memory usage, so it looks like what I would expect from the garbage
 collection routing. It does spike occasionally but I have never seen it
 close to the 3GB max. (I've never even seen it hit 2GB used.)

 The server is set for 40 template requests (I recently upped it from 10 to
 see if that was the problem and it still occurred with the same frequency.)
 Flash remoting is set to 2, webservice 1, CFC 1. (These remote settings
 are only set for the monitor, as the server does not provide any
 webservices outside the running application) Jrun is set to 50 requests,
 and 1000 queued. (Enough to cover the CF requests.)

 I looked at Charlie's blog...  I have checked the logs, and other than the
 apache error log (above) I do not see anything. I've check the system
 /var/log/messages, I've checked all the CF logs (I also archived everything
 yesterday, and the cf logs are practically empty even after today's
 occurrence.) I did not find any jvm abort logs that Charlie mentioned in
 his blog. (I checked in the CF directory mentioned as well as the system
 logs and the actual JVM directory)  I also checked the Jrun log (in
 /opt/jrun4/logs/cfusion-event.log ) and was surprised because the only
 entries were months ago. (Because of the age of the log, I'm curious if I
 am looking at the right place for it.)



 Does anyone have any ideas on what might be happening? or something else
 that I should check?



 I have searched the web and found different ideas (even the rare add more
 memory)

 Another mentions the requests being overloaded, but I honestly do not
 believe that the 10 simultaneous template requests was low for the traffic
 for this site. After quadrupling it, with the problem still occurring, it
 is even less likely.

 I've seen some mentioning client variable storage, but the server is set
 to use cookies for that, not a database. While I do not use client storage,
 I know there are items like the last time visited etc, so I may just turn
 it off completely.

 Another one I found interested mentions a bug with MySql drivers with the
 Maintain Connections setting and suggested to uncheck this box. I search
 for this and found the bug mentioned, one site even speculated it was still
 a problem with CF9, but I could not find any details. Does anyone know of
 this issue, I've seen it mentioned, but a lack of any details other than
 its bad to have that checked. (The page

I came across Datatables (jQuery) but wanted to know if that is good

probably 50/100 records per page.

Do you use anything(external tools/jQuery etc) like that or just display

  This is the first I have heard of the CFIDE/gettingstarted directory, so
 I am assuming that is only on CF10. Another directory that should be
 protected but it not mentioned on this exploit(but has been mentioned on
 others) is the CFIDE/componentutils directory.

 If needed/desired, I can share some simple .htaccess samples for people
 that need to protect CF on an apache server...

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF 9 64 bit installer file

2013-04-11 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Thanks Charlie for clarification. We have unique situation where in we want
CF 9 ONLY with verity, as one of our app is based of verity. We are moving
to new servers 64 bit Win 2008 R2 from the old 32 bit win 2003. We want to
setup exact replica of our current setup, hence we want, CF 9 only as we
would have needed a lot of testing on CF 10 to make sure our app doesnt
break or we dont come across new issues. We do lot of pdfs and it becomes
an issue once the pdf rendering is affected by font size etc. So CF 9 to CF
10 migration is not an option and management prefers CF 9 setup on new
servers.

Coming back to original topic. I had downloaded the ColdFusion_9_WWE_
win64.exe file sometime back as in probably few months back or maybe last
year. I did notice that the downloads available as of now are for 9.0.2
ColdFusion_9_WWEJ_win64.exe, which we dont want. Honestly, i missed that J
on the installer file on first reading. :-)

So I was not comparing, the newer ColdFusion_9_WWEJ_win64.exe vs older file
ColdFusion_9_WWE_win64.exe. My concern was that if i Use the older
installer file, to install FRESH COPY OF CF 9 on our new servers and use
the enterprise key, then it would work or not. Looks like it will work.

So I will use the older file ColdFusion_9_WWE_win64.exe and install CF 9
and make a note to myself, that I install the important hotfix from Jan
2013( was cumulative) and the 2 more that got released last month.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

 Ajas, I think there’s an important explanation for what you’re seeing,
 that you may not be considering.

 First, as Troy has said, yes, the installer does not change based on Std,
 Ent, Trial, or Dev. The one installer does ask during installation which of
 those you want.

 But second, as for the size difference you see, there may be a very
 important explanation for that. (Even if you know this, I’ll share it as
 much for others as it’s a source of frequent confusion.)

 Note that the CF9 installer you would download today from the Adobe site,
 which has been there since May of 2012, is NOT 9.0 (as it was for 2-3 years
 prior)—it is 9.0.2, which is (like 9.0) a full installer. It includes
 9.0+9.0.1 but lacks Verity (the main reason for its creation), and it also
 includes all the hfs available as of its release in May 2012. (You still
 need to add more updates, as I’ll discuss in a moment.)

 While Adobe did (some months ago) change the site (
 http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads_updates.html#cf9) to
 more clearly indicate on the page that the “CF9 installer” is a 9.0.2
 installer, they did not change the filename to so clearly indicate this.
  The current 902 download filename (on that page I just mentioned) is
 ColdFusion_9_WWEJ_win64.exe. You mention the “old” one you see as being
 ColdFusion_9_WWE_win64.exe, and I do think that was the “9.0” installer
 filename. Is the “new” one you’re comparing the same name? or the one with
 WWEJ that I just mentioned? If so, that’s the difference.

 Also, be careful too then NOT to download and install over that the
 still-available 9.0.1 updater. That is for updating a 9.0 install. If you
 run it atop a 9.0.2, it will not warn you (it was built before 9.0.2 came
 out so is not aware of it), and it will break your CF installation.

 Finally, just as all releases of CF, note that the 9.0.2 installer offered
 there is not “the latest”. There are HFs available for that since its
 release. (To those who might complain about that, note that it’s hard for
 Adobe to build a new installer for a release, given all the permutations of
 supported platforms and related tools like DBs and web servers, so they
 build new installers only on major updates or new releases.)

 Hi,

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF 9 64 bit installer file

2013-04-11 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Point noted. CF 9.0 It is from now. :-) Makes sense to me. I always thought
cf 9 means 9.0 and people mention 9.0.1 and 9.0.2 if they happen to use
that *specific* version, I didn't know/realize 9.0.2 could be read as cf 9
or vice versa also.

About Cf 10, i mentioned it, because someone would say, why dont you start
with fresh install (new servers right) of CF 10 and dont worry about
upgrades in future. It seems you can buy CF10 and request adobe for CF 9.0
license via backwards licensing. Different topic but thats what we plan to
do. Not sure if that is 9.0.2 license. I am assuming they give you 9.0
license and not 9.0.1 or 9.0.2. I dont know if the version matters in case
of a license, specific to 9.0 and 9.0.x.

About installers, well I had an old (2yr old perhaps) installer and also
one which i downloaded few months back and size is same on both
ColdFusion_9_WWE_win64.exe. I just didnt know which one to trust as good
source. Sorry for confusion.

Finally, do note that you will need to do 9.0, then 9.0.1, then the CHFs
and HFs for 9.0.1 on top of that, to get you to the latest version you can
have of 9.0.1, assuming that’s what you have or had and are trying to
recreate.
About this, we dont want to do 9.0.1 as we never did that on our current
prodn servers or QA servers. We want to stay with 9.0 only with latest
security hotfixes ofcourse.

 Glad to help.  A few more thoughts.

 First, to be clear, I made no mention of CF10 at all. Not sure what led
 you to bring that up. :-)

 As for your situation, I do now understand that you would want 9.0 and not
 9.0.2. That’s fine. I was just clarifying the situation.

 So if you have a 9.0 installer, I’d be curious what the “other one” was
 that you were comparing. You’re saying it’s the same name, but different
 size? That would be odd.

 Finally, do note that you will need to do 9.0, then 9.0.1, then the CHFs
 and HFs for 9.0.1 on top of that, to get you to the latest version you can
 have of 9.0.1, assuming that’s what you have or had and are trying to
 recreate.

 One last thing: you said “cf 9” in the last two paragraphs, and I think
 you would do yourself (and readers)  a favor to be more explicit. CF 9.0.2
 is as much “cf9” as is 9.0 or 9.0.1. When you’re talking about matters of
 installation and updating, it’s critical to be accurate.

 As always, just trying to help. :-)

Thanks Cameron.

There were 2 more hotfixes released after this for CF 9.0 (in our
case).Looks like hotfix 3 includes 2 as well. So, if someone doesnt apply
hf2, He can use hf3 and be up to date right(with hf2 included). I am I
correct in this assumption? Can someone confirm please?

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF 9 64 bit installer file

2013-04-11 Thread Ajas Mohammed
No, both files were same size and same name. I guess when I downloaded
first file couple of yrs back, I  had downloaded it as developer edition 64
bit and then when I downloaded few months back, it was straight 64 bit and
It got me thinking, what if I install CF 9.0 (yes 9.0 this time) using
developer installer and if it doesnt work , I will be in bit of bother. But
apparently not, as installers are same, license will trigger Enterprise
version. :-)

 Thanks for the clarifications. As for the CF9 backwards licensing, the
 good news is that a CF 9 license is indeed for any version: 9.0, 9.0.1, or
 9.0.2. :-)

 As for your having the 2 files, the old and one from a few months, if they
 are the same, I thought you had said you found one had a different size.
 Was that still some other?

 As for your last comment, to be clear, that’s why I did add, “assuming
 that’s what you have or had and are trying to recreate”. :-) That said, I
 would wonder why one on 9 would not want to move to 9.0.1. It’s free, and
 does add some useful new functionality (for coders and for admins). But I
 do appreciate you may feel you need to test first. Just saying it’s worth
 considering. :-) Fortunately, Adobe does indeed still provide updates for
 9.0, 9.0.1, and 9.0.2, so you’re not missing out there, though it does mean
 people need to be sure to apply the right fix for the right version! :-)

Hi,

Just checking if the installer available on adobe's site for CF 9 64 bit
would work with Enterprise license.

I downloaded one earlier named ColdFusion_9_WWE_win64.exe which is
443,876KB in size and was wondering if the installer is same for standard

actual type of installation i.e. standard license vs enterprise license.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Dreamweaver/SVN

2013-02-26 Thread Ajas Mohammed
I will try to answer with my limited knowledge of DW usage of SVN. First of
all, what version of DW you  your colleagues are using, CS6?

The latest versions have some built in functionality for version control
but in earlier versions, you would have to buy external plugin for SVN
stuff.

Do these branching commands exist through the Dreamweaver interface?
Perhaps in latest versions, I dont know.
http://superuser.com/questions/227721/does-dreamweaver-subversion-support-branching

If they use an external utility to switch branches will Dreamweaver
recognize it? (I ask because Dreamweaver requires you to specify the
directory on their config screen.)
I found these 2 links
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/using_subversion_pt2.htmland
http://superuser.com/questions/227721/does-dreamweaver-subversion-support-branching

Last, currently dreamweaver is reporting svn version 1.6.9. Is there an
easy way to up it to 1.7? (it is the dreamweaver from CS6)
I think you would have to upgrade your repository to latest version first,
so in your case you would upgrade the subversion repository to 1.7 and then
worry about the client.

 Don't quote me on this, but doesn't Adobe give you a copy of an earlier

 a license key for 9 to use instead, don't they let you do that? I thought
 that was something they introduced with version 10. It's possible I
 misunderstood their new licensing terms, but I thought they did offer this.

I know two sources. This is the email I had sent to someone earlier.

I would try these 2 options.

1) Contact Bryce and mention that Ajas Mohammed referred you. He has 15%
promotion going on. He can help you with your request cf10 license for cf9
and then use it for CF10 so you dont buy it twice.

These 2 options I know. You can try with adobe also.

Yeap thats correct, and just to clarify, its called subscription license,
which is free for one year. You might want to check with FR folks though.

And yes, I cant agree more, FusionReactor is awesome. After using
FusionReactor, I started saying, I KNOW TROUBLESHOOTING as in *I know kung

 If you buy from Integral I believe you get a copy of FusionReactor for

there anything else that needs to be done for CF 7/8? I do know that this

 I know PostParametersLimit is a different issue than the security fix, if
 thats what you were trying to imply. I meant that since the security fix is
 CUMULATIVE fix, we saw it for the first time after applying security
 fix(because we had not patched up our servers with earlier
 hotfixes/patches).

 So PostParametersLimit = No. of form fields, where as postSizeLimit = size

Thanks Charlie for the detailed email. Yes, we are on 9.0 and we didnt
upgrade to 9.0.1. We used hotfix jar for 9.0 as advised on the adobe page. It
makes sense to protect those CFIDE folders you mentioned.

One thing we did notice is that after the applying security hotfix, we
started to get this error
*coldfusion.filter.FormScope$PostParametersLimitExceededException:
POST parameters exceeds the maximum limit specified in the server*.
Quick google
search led
http://www.cutterscrossing.com/index.cfm/2012/3/27/ColdFusion-Security-Hotfix-and-Big-Formsme
to this 
posthttp://www.cutterscrossing.com/index.cfm/2012/3/27/ColdFusion-Security-Hotfix-and-Big-Forms.
I ended up adding var name='postParametersLimit'number500.0/number/var
to the {ColdFusion-Home}/lib/neo-runtime.xml for Server installation. I am
guessing that we might have missed an earlier patch/hotfix in which
Adobe introduced
this postParametersLimit setting. We were surprised by error message in the
beginning but since we had recently applied the security fix, we knew it
had to do with fix.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] New CF Vulnerability - Check your servers

2013-01-17 Thread Ajas Mohammed
By the way, what is the best way to confirm that the security patch has
been applied successfully?

Personally, I could only tell based of
 1) The CF Admin information page says
Update Level /C:/ColdFusion9/lib/updates/hf900-9.jar
2) On my local CF install Windows 7, the timestamps on folders changed as I
followed the steps. I noticed though on our QA servers( Windows 2003) the
folder timestamps were weird as in they didn't show modification datetime
as the changes were being applied which raised my curiosity.

So other than these 2 things, is there another way to verify that the
patching process was successful?

 I’ve added a comment on the blog entry that points to that (

 but obviously those who go straight to the technote wouldn’t see that.
 Hopefully Adobe will fix this ASAP.

 To be clear, this warning is only for those on 9.0.2. Those on 9.0,
 9.0.1, or 10 should absolutely proceed with the hotfix as provided.

John, emailed you off the list.

Charlie, thanks for the detailed explanation. From our side, we just seem
to be happy with working CF without Hotfixes. But my team wanted security
hotfixes applied so I took care of that. I understand it would be nice to
apply CHF and see if issue goes away but I doubt I will be able to get
approval on that and more importantly get thorough testing done after
applying CHF's. I surely cant go to 9.0.2 because we still use verity for
one of our apps.

Thanks again.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CFC path - bind autosuggest issue

2012-08-20 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Charlie,

The code is ONLY IN external server webroot. We dont have anything in CF
wwwroot. But that was good suggestion. Its possible especially when you
explain shadow page logic.

Also, no one is creating subdirectory structure that matches external web
server root.

This one is weirdest of things I have ever seen because code works for days
and suddenly one day we start getting XYZ/Employee.cfc not found.

 Ajas, is there by any chance code with the same file name in the CF
 wwwroot as well as in your external web server docroot? (such as in
 [cf8/9]\wwwroot, or [jrun]\servers\[instancename]\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\,
 or [cf10]\cfusion\wwwroot, or [cf10]\[instance]\wwwroot)? And beyond just
 the root, how about in any subdirectory structure that might match that in
 the external web server root?

 I’m wondering if you are having a situation where someone is occasionally
 creating a file of the same name and path in the internal wwwroot as in the
 external, and CF is caching that, but then when it’s removed, CF gets an
 error. This is just a wild guess. I don’t know that it would or should
 happen.

 But many don’t realize that CF does indeed search in both the internal and
 external web server roots for files, so that if you have files of the same
 name in them, there can be confusion (you edit one and not the other, and
 “never see” the change reflected when you browse the page, because you
 didn’t realize there was this “shadow” page that CF was finding.)

 removing pound and refreshing page to make the error go away.

 This is weird stuff.

 ok, it happened again. Charlie, to answer your question, this time I did

 refreshed the .cfm page and the error was gone.

 We are not using application specific mappings at all i.e this.mappings

 The only weird thing I have noticed is, we have this app setup as
 website. So the error happens when i access the site page like this
 qa.charlie.com/test.cfm. It doesnt happen if I access it like this
 10.10.10.x/XYZ/test.cfm i.e. thats the ip address of our qa/dev server
 followed by code folder located at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\XYZ. The error when
 called via URL qa.charlie.com/test.cfm says XYZ/Employee.cfc not found.

 So why does direct 10.10.10.x/XYZ/test.cfm works and not
 qa.charlie.com/test.cfm? When accessed via URL, its looking for that CFC
 under another sub XYZ folder(C:\inetpub\wwwroot\XYZ\XYZ\Employee.cfc) when
 the site has been defined to use C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\XYZ as home directory
 in IIS 6.0.

 To make matters more interesting, we have atleast 20 cfcs under XYZ and
 this error happens only on 2 CFCs. All others called from cfm pages work
 just fine. Perhaps any error in 2 CFC's that might be causing this behavior?

 Weird stuff.

[ACFUG Discuss] CF 9 security hotfixes

2012-07-26 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Hello all,

I had a quick question about CF 9 Security hotfixes. We recently applied
the Directory Traversal hot fix which is
*APSB10-18http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-18.html
*. If the server is not patched up with these fixes, then is it safe to
assume that start from the bottom of the list and go upwards for these
hotfixes?

Also, can you share your experience of how you did this and also how you
monitored or came to know of a hotfix released by Adobe?

Also, is it OK to apply all these HOTFIXES in one shot?

The 200% display is definitely client acrobat reader(standard or

 Is there a way to control how large a cfdocument created is when it is
 displayed in the browser? I have two different reports using the exact same
 cfdocument tag and one of them displays the report as a page on a gray
 background in the browser while the other one initially displays at about
 175% - 200% of the document size and fills the browser and looks terrible
 due to pixelization of some elements.

  

 Here is the cfdocument tag:


  cfdocument format=PDF pagetype=letter scale=95
 marginright=.50 marginleft=.50 orientation=portrait
 encryption=128-bit marginbottom=.8 margintop=1.75
 permissions=allowprinting backgroundvisible=yes overwrite=no
 fontembed=yes   

  

  

 This is running on a CF8 server.

  

 Thanks,

 Jeff

 All I did was create an error in Employee.cfc and then remove it and the

 do that, and it did not solve things, that would be interesting and also
 different from just creating an error. (If you did it, and it DID solve
 things, then it would point again to just being a matter of template
 caching, it would seem.)

 Here are some other thoughts: are you using an application-specific
 mapping (this.mappings in application.cfc) to point to this CFC? And even
 if not, do you have any app-specific mappings for the app in question?

 Just offering thoughts to move you toward a resolution.

 Ok, I had another of these again, i.e. XYZ/Employee.cfc not found.
 Nothing had changed from last month or so.



 All I did was create an error in Employee.cfc and then remove it and the
 problem went away. Did the same with 2nd cfc XYZ/Department.cfc that was
 causing not found issue and both are working fine now.

 How weird is that?

 Thanks guys.


 The trusted cache setting is UNchecked on both dev server and local server.

 However, I came across this setting
 *Component cache*
 When checked, component path resolution is cached and not resolved again.
 This setting does not require restarting the server.

 This is checked on both local and dev server. Attached is a screenshot of
 these settings.

 I do not know if this particular cache is refreshed( cleaned up) upon CF
 service restart. Also not sure if this was an issue in my case.

 The error is gone for now, and I am happy about it. :-)

 While ColdFusion 9 was timed with Adobe MAX, that hasn't always been the
 case: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColdFusion for release date
 history. Oh, and someone should update that to add ColdFusion 10 (I think
 Wikipedia rules may dictate that I shouldn't do it since I work for Adobe
 so I'll let another of you have the pleasure).

 In other news, yesterday we announced that MAX is moving to the spring:
 see http://max.adobe.com/blog/spring_max.html. So no MAX at all in 2012:
 the MAX that was scheduled for this fall has been moved to May 4-8, 2013.
 So it's a very good thing that ColdFusion 10 wasn't planned (and never was)
 for release at MAX!

 Oops... my bad - I committed the cardinal sin of programming. I assumed
 that my code was right and the server was wrong. Turns out I had a
 programming error in my test. Now that I've fixed that I can give a better
 answer.

 To change the border I added the following style element:

 style
 .x-window {
 border: 1px solid blue; /* or whatever */
 }
 /style

 Wrapping in a div tag doesn't work as CF relocates the code outside of
 the div - which is kind of unfortunate since it give you a little less
 control.

 I was able to see the styles created by CF and Javascript by using Firefox
 - Firebug.

 Dusty:

 First off, I can't seem to get cfwindow to work properly, it looks like
 CF9 has messed that tag up. I've seen that with cflayoutarea as well.

 That being said, I think the solution to your problem can be accomplish by
 overriding the x-window-header and x-window-body styles that ColdFusion
 is using. I would try to wrap the cfwindow tag in a named div element
 like this:

 div id='myStuff'
  cfwindow name=window1
blah, blah, blah
  /cfwindow
 /div

 Then include a stylesheet entry like

 #myStuff .x-window-header {
 border: 1px solid blue; /* or whatever */
 }

 #myStuff .x-window-body {
 border: 1px solid blue; /* or whatever */
 }

 Firefox - FireBug plugin is really good at letting you see (and
 dynamically) change the styles for a page element. This should get you
 started.

 Does anyone know how to change the grey curvy border in the headerStyle of

 when when I add CSS for the border in the headerStyle attribute it does
 nothing. I'm able to change the background color of the header no problem
 but it looks really funny with the default grey curvy border. I'm trying to
 get it to match the border color I set for the bodyStyle attribute.

 Thanks in advance for any help or advice!!

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CFC path - bind autosuggest issue

2012-04-09 Thread Ajas Mohammed
ok, I restarted CF on dev server but that didnt fix the issue. Then I made
an error in Employee.cfc and corrected the error and it started working
again i.e. now it looks for /Employee.cfc instead of /XYZ/Employee.cfc . I
am not sure if it was a browser cache issue or if it was CF restart that
did the trick.

Yes, the webroot on both machines was same  C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\XYZ.

Thanks for your other tip as well i.e. html source. That also had binding
reference (javascript i guess) set as XYZ/Employee.cfc earlier but now
its  ColdFusion.Bind.cfcBindHandler(null,
{'bindTo':ColdFusion.Autosuggest.loadAutoSuggest,'bindToAttr':'true',
'cfc':'/Employee.cfc','cfcFunction':'fnGetEmployeeByFName','bindExpr':[['nameFirst',cfautosuggestvalue]],
'bindToParams': { 'autosuggestid':directSupervisor_1 }});

Thanks Charlie for your patience and help. I expected more responses this
being a CF Group but it was just your reply.

If anyone looked at this thread and thought, oh its path issue or IIS
issue, I can assure that it was not easy as that. Really weird issue which
I hope no one goes through it because it was pain.

On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 10:19 AM, Charlie Arehart char...@carehart.orgwrote:

 I did understand there was only one site. I was referring to the two
 variants of it on the two machines, one local (working for you) and one on
 another server (not working for you), right? I was asking: are you positive
 that the website definition in IIS is indeed identical, especially with
 respect to the docroot definition. You say below, “On my local machine, I
 have the same structure” but you refer again only to the path to the files,
 not clarifying if for sure that this is defined as the webroot on this
 other machine.

 As far as the browser debugging tool showing it linking back as
 /XYZ/Employee.cfc, that’s helpful, as at least now you know it’s not
 related to how the server is responding to the call for employee.cfc. The
 problem (if any) is in the HTML generated that put the link on the page.
 Now, since it’s an autosuggest in a CFINPUT, it’s a little harder to
 understand then why it adds that /xyz, but that’s the evidence trail you
 want to follow.

 As for the this.mappings and whether it’s in 9.0 or 9.0.1, yes, those were
 added in 9.0.1. If you’re wondering why I mentioned it then when you said
 you were on “cf 9”, it’s just that people often use that term generically,
 regardless of whether they’ve applied the updater or not.  If you’re on
 9.0, then no, app-specific mappings are not an issue for you to worry about
 as a possible cause/influence. (And I wasn’t saying it was something that
 you might “need to do” at all. I was just wondering if it could have been
 having an influence.)

 Since the problem is in the client code generated by HTML (doing the bind
 back to the server), I would start by looking at the HTML source (once
 generated by CF) to see if there are previous references to /xyz anywhere
 in the HTML code, that might explain how CF is somehow thinking and telling
 the HTML (and Javascript) to consider that as a significant part of the
 path back to the server. I assume you have already checked the CFML page to
 make sure there’s no reference to that /XYZ also, whether in the page or in
 any application.cf*, right?

 Finally, if I can offer a tip to help in communications on the list here:
 a couple of times you slip into referring to your dev box as “the website”,
 as in “on my local server or on the dev (website) server”. In the first
 note you also said “If I access it via website we have setup”, which had
 confused me at first, until I realized you were referring to “the server
 other than my local machine” (it wasn’t clear then, either, if it was a dev
 or prod box).

 I realize why within your organization you may refer to that other box as
 now “the website” but it’s risky in a conversation on a list like this,
 since we’re using the term “web site” to refer more accurately to the term
 as used for the thing defined within the web server. (And so you also don’t
 want to call it “the web server”, since you similarly do have a “web
 server”—software—running on both machines.) It would be better just to
 stick with “my local server” and the “the dev server” or something like
 that, to avoid any confusion for readers. :-)

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CFC path - bind autosuggest issue

2012-04-08 Thread Ajas Mohammed
ok, sorry, I will explain again.  C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\XYZ has test.cfm and
employee.cfc. There is only 1 site but I do have local copy setup for local
development with same folder structure. I can access my local code via
localhost as well via url of the site (setup on different machine).

test.cfm has this code  cfinput type=text name=hrManager_1
value=#hrManager_1# autosuggestminlength=2 autosuggest=
cfc:Employee.fnGetEmployeeByFName({cfautosuggestvalue})

I have this site, qa.charlie.com set up and files are at this location
 C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\XYZ
i.e. in IIS under Home Directory tab, the local path is
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\XYZ. On my local machine, I have the same structure
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\XYZ.
On my local machine, I access the page via, localhost/XYZ/test.cfm which
works fine. When I access the site via url i.e. qa.charlie.com/test.cfm, I
get error CFC XYZ.Employee not found. By following your tip, I looked at
chrome debugging tools and here are the results

   1. Request URL:
   http://qa.charlie.com/XYZ/Employee.cfc
   
?method=fnGetEmployeeByFNamereturnFormat=jsonargumentCollection=%7B%22nameFirst%22%3A%22144%22%7D_cf_nodebug=true_cf_nocache=true_cf_clientid=D156F681F0DEF525B78BCAFA4A351EFE_cf_rc=1
   2. Request Method:
   GET
   3. Status Code:
   200 OK
   4.
  1. Host:
  qa.charlie.com
  2. Referer:
  http://qa.charlie.com/T_AddEdit_Employee.cfm?employeesId=53679

So looks like when it requests, its requesting XYZ/Employee.cfc and not
Employee.cfc i.e its expecting employee.cfc to be under another subfolder.
I am expecting the request url to be
URL:
http://qa.charlie.com/Employee.cfc?method=fnGetEmployeeByFName. I dont know
why it looks for XYZ/Employee.cfc. Perhaps I am missing something obvious.

Ok, good question about mapping. I do not have any mapping setup on my
local server or on the dev (website) server. I have the default mappings
after CF install. About Application.cfc mapping via This.mappings, I have
not done that in my
application.cfc file or on dev server's application.cfc. I thought that was
part of 9.01 and not CF 9. I am I wrong in that assumption? Can you do that
in CF 9 also? If yes, then I guess thats what I need to do then.

Thanks. Let me know if its still confusing.

 Ajas, I don’t recognize the problem immediately, but unless someone else
 does and comes to the rescue, here are a few thoughts to consider that may
 help you (or help you help us):

 First, are you positive that the two websites are setup identically on the
 two different machines? I mean specifically the docroot, for instance. You
 don’t clarify, though you do imply it. Worth just confirming.

 Second, since this autosuggest feature generates a request from the client
 to the server (as coded by CF, of course), you may want to use a tool like
 firebug or any of many other tools to watch the communication between the
 client and the web server. it may be interesting to see what the client
 asks for. Consider also that what it asks for is of the web server: you
 could still have some other possible confusion caused once it leaves the
 web server and gets to CF.

 Third, do you have a mapping setup in the CF Admin (check in both your
 local and the other server)? And what about in this.mappings in any
 application.cfc that may control the page? Again, check on both boxes.

 Again, I’m just grasping at straws here. No real idea of the problem or
 solution. Hope these thoughts may help.

We are on CF 9 Enterprise Server mode installation on Window 2003 32 bit

In my case, we have like 10 sites on this box, but

C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1 and my jrun_iis6_wildcard.ini entries
as
verbose=false

bootstrap=127.0.0.1:51800
apialloc=false
#errorurl=url optionally redirect to this URL on errors
#proxyretryinterval=600 number of seconds to wait before trying to
reconnect to unreachable clustered server
#connecttimeout=15 number of seconds to wait on a socket connect to a jrun

server
#sendtimeout=15 number of seconds to wait on a socket send to a jrun

 Yes, in the past I adjusted the margins.  Didn't work.

 It never cuts off anything on the first page.  So the one line test
 wouldn't help in the diagnosis.  It seems to have problems with page

 Ed,

 Are you using styling with this particular document?  Have you tried
 just a test with one line?  Does it still cut it off?

 Check margin settings too maybe?

 Thanks,

 Hey all,
 
 When I generate a PDF with cfdocument, the first line of text on any

 I researched this in the past and learned that many have had this

 I tried the suggested fixes at the time; none worked.
 
 Should I give up on generating a PDF with cfdocument?
 
 Any help is appreciated.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] PermGen CF Server Memory Errors

2011-12-07 Thread Ajas Mohammed
On first look, I think you really need to go up on your max memory. On our
servers, which are still on 32bit windows, we have min setting of 512MB and
Max of 1182MB.

# Arguments to VM
java.args=-server -Xmx512m

# Arguments to VM
java.args=-server -Xmx1182m

Having said that, like Charlie says always, its not a final solution to the
problem but in your case I think its a good starting point.Unless you have
some kind of other memory constraints, on this server which I dont know of,
you should go up.

Lot of people say, you should put both the min and max at same setting. In
my case, that didnt work out, hence min at 512MB and Max 1182MB.

About FusionReactor, I have to say there is nothing to learn. You will
grasp in one day. I had written a getting started guide which was posted on
FR community devnet site.
http://www.fusion-reactor.com/community/developers/autodev_detailed.cfm?article=FRS-238I
am sure they have more updated articles as mine was written at time of
version 3.5.1 but still its a good start.

Let us know if you need help with that. In your case, I would see System
Metrics page, running requests page and also stack trace of the request to
see what is going on.

Others, correct me, if there is anything, I dont mind at all. :-)

 You guys rock with all kinds of answers, I'll definitely be trying them
 out tomorrow when I have a better brain and before whirly.  Below is my
 JVM.config file.

 Also for others maybe following the thread I found this 1 of 4 article by
 Charlie helpful, but then for Charlie I was trying to find the other parts
 after I had determined that I was indeed getting the outofmemory errors in
 the -out file

 http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2010/11/3/when_memory_problems_arent_what_they_seem_part_1

 One thing I don't get about the -out files is why -out and -out1 are the
 only current ones and then -out2 seems to be when the server first started
 recording and then they only go to -out200 which was before I started
 seeing this problem.  I see in your article I can make them bigger than
 200kb, which I may have to do, but it seems weird they stop making at 200
 and then I essentially only have the latest 400kb in two files

 Ajas good point on the 10-day free trials, we have a copy of one or the
 other that we purchased awhile back, but admittedly in our organization
 Eric Jones was the main server maintenance guy, until he moved on.  He kept
 track of those licenses and servers.  I've been debating which would be
 longer, to find the license and learn the software or fix the problem :)

 Finally, revisiting Charlie's idea to look at the last funky thing before
 the server went down around 16:24 I do see this 2min earlier, and it is in
 the app that utilizes Hibernate, so I'll definitely need to see if I have a
 CFC incorrectly set up as an interface or abstract class java style in a
 way that CF doesn't like and that potentially could be the root of this
 deal.  Unfortunately, since my -out logs don't capture the last outage a
 few days ago I can't compare, but maybe when I try to re-trigger the event
 tomorrow I can get this same result.

[ACFUG Discuss] Monitoring tool SQL Server

2011-12-07 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Guys,

Can you share the name of tool you use for SQL Server monitoring. We use
FusionReactor for CF monitoring and time has come to use a similar tool for
SQL Server as well.

I looked at Charlie's 411 site and I found few here
http://www.cf411.com/dbmon . There is a free one called ignitefree by
CONFIO.Anyone used it before?

We are looking at reasonably priced tool as we have about 6 sql server 2008
instances.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] PermGen CF Server Memory Errors

2011-12-06 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Like John said, try increasing perm size. I see you are not limited by 32
bit system to you can allocated more than 2gb memory of jvm memory as well.
Not sure what you have right now.

Also, have you considered FusionReactor or SeeFusion monitoring tool. Its
amazing how much these tools help you out. You can get a trial for 10 days
to see what happens or what request is running etc.

As for JVM memory monitoring, first thing that comes in my mind is
http://visualvm.java.net/ visualvm. There are several others as well

Despite my attendance of multiple Charlie lectures and/or because
 of such attendance I certainly do not consider myself an expert in the
 memory underpinnings of CF.  What I do believe is happening through some
 research and late night testing is that essentially the server stores
 information (in think in cfclasses) that is essentially compiled java code.
  It does this to speed the delivery of data generated by CF in a caching
 like mechanism.

 There is a checkmark in the settings that says Save Class Files which I
 suspect would solve the problem if indeed this area is getting overflowed
 and not properly Garbage Collected (if GC even runs in PermGen).  However,
 unchecking that is not recommended for a production machine, and it would
 obviously slow down all of the sites.  Similarly I've seen posts that say
 to just increase the MaxPermSize, but I find many posts after those saying
 that is not solve and just delaying the problem.  I'd rather solve the
 problem.

 Additionally, when observing the websites when it is acting up we get a
 lot of totally blank pages along with 200 OK http response codes.  I have
 also gotten partial pages at times, but that all leads me to some sort of
 partial template loading until the permgen runs out of memory.

 Finally, I don't know that it is a 100% deal, but we have launched a new
 application on this server that makes use of the new ORM Hibernate
 functionality.  This happened right around the same time we started
 observing these issues.  This was my first shot at ORM within CF and I know
 I need to go back and re-look at how I have the lazy-loading set up.  I
 have a feeling that it can definitely be tuned better and that it's
 possible this type of code may make heavy use of the permgen space with
 dynamically loading data in the way that it works.  This heavy banging in
 the permgen along with an untuned JVM may be the combo that is causing our
 problems, or maybe I'm way off.  Figured I'd throw it out there to group to
 see what thoughts and solutions might be out there beyond my teams
 continued googling of words like permgen, coldfusion, hibernate,
 orm and arehart :)

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Tomcat 7 Windows service + cfusion deployed - debug not working

2011-12-05 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Charlie, thanks a lot. That was it. I put the 2 args on different lines and
debug starting working. Sorry for the delay in my response. Like you said,
this is something only few ppl might have blogged or have experience with.
I jumped on this because I wanted to try out tomcat setup plus CF X will

Its amazing how much I have learned from your emails. I really mean it.
Appreciate your help man.

As for ports, it makes sense now. As for googling, I think i purely
searched for java debug tomcat. I missed the tomcat exe version xdebug one.
:-)

here are the args now which work fine with a line break after -Xdebug

-Xdebug

On Thu, Nov 24, 2011 at 11:57 AM, Charlie Arehart char...@carehart.orgwrote:

 Ajas, here are some thoughts that may help:

 The changing port
 --

 As for the port “changing all the time”, that is normal behavior. Adobe
 chose to implement things such that the “public” port for the debugger does
 change, while the “private” port (specified in the admin, or on that config
 line) is fixed. The “connection  the dots” is handled by both client
 (Adobe’s Eclipse-based debugger, knowing to look for such a randomly
 changing port) and the server (with CF and RDS handling the transmission of
 debug info between this public and private port).

 Of course, a problem with this approach is that if the CF server you want
 to talk to is within a firewall (and your Eclipse client is not), then
 you’re going to need to open a firewall hole—and if it’s changing all the
 time, that is a real problem. The good news is that Adobe has provided for
 that, with an additional optional java arg:
 -DDEBUGGER_SERVER_PORT=portNumber. I discuss this (and point to other
 resources discussing it further) in a blog entry:

 CF911: Want to modify the CF Step Debugger's use of a random port?


 http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2010/10/29/cf_debugger_using_random_port
 


 Configuring the port in Tomcat (specifically tomcat7w)
 

 ** **

 As for where and how to configure the setting, it can vary. For instance,
 you show using tomcat7w, the tool for modifying Tomcat config when running
 it as a Windows service. Others may be starting CF from the command line,
 such as with catalina.bat or catalina.sh.

 With the latter command-line tools (as with the typical CF-based
 jvm.config), these java args could be specified all on one line, in
 CATALINA_OPTS. Then again, some resources also show doing it as a series of
 SET commands in the startup script files, with one argument per set line.

 But you mention using tomcat7w (or one might be using tomcat6w or 5w), and
 that’s different still: as you’ve noted, it presents an interface into
 which you can drop any args—but you refer to putting them on the “first
 line” or “last line”.

 Here’s the solution to this problem: with that interface, it turns out you
 need to put EACH arg on its OWN line. :-).


 Finding resources
 --

 It can be frustrating, of course, to know what to do, with so many
 variations. And you’ll certainly be challenged trying to find info respect
 to configuring Tomcat and CF specifically (and especially things related to
 it, like its debugger). Consider that the percentage of people deploying CF
 on Tomcat (for now) is relatively small, and the number of those who would
 also use CF’s debugger would be still smaller—when you finally consider how
 many of who would blog their experience, you’re down to a pretty small
 number. :-)

 So you have to be creative in how you look for answers. In this case, it
 would be best to look for info on how to configure java debugging in tomcat
 using tomcat7w. For instance, I hadn’t yet used it, but I did a search for:

 Tomcat7w Xdebug

 And the first result (for me) was this page, which clarified the need for
 the settings to be in separate lines:

[ACFUG Discuss] CF DateField show calendar on textbox focus or entry

2011-11-21 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Iam trying to make CF datepicker to work like jquery's datepicker i.e. show
calendar when textbox gets focus rather than user clicking on calender
icon/image.

You can test with this simple code

cfform
cfinput type=datefield name=txtDate
  /cfform

Question is how to make calendar popup when textbox has focus. I played
with Firebug and Chromes dom inspector without any luck.I thought it would
as simple as calling a javascript function onfocus or onclick.

I can see calendar is basically a div with display set block when user
clicks on calendar img/icon. div is id txtDateCFForm_1_cf_container
with display:
block;

Any suggestions?

No reason Cameron. I was personally pushing for jQuery. I am big fan of
jQuery, although I am making a very late entry in this game. Feel so bad
about it. :-( . I have to talk to my team again. They wanted to use only

But it would be great to know *how to fix CF Datepicker*. I am surprised it
doesnt popup calendar when textbox gets focus. :-(

 Is there a reason you cannot just use the jQuery datepicker?

 I always try to avoid any default CF client side widgets because the
 release cycle for CF (18-24 months) is WAY WAY **WAY** longer then the
 typical release cycle for jQuery or any other client side widgets they
 typically bundle with CF.

 Server side functionality is great in CF, but stuff in the browser is
 often easier to manage (over time) using the client libraries directly.

 For instance, if this code is in a CFC method, then you could be having a

 you’ve not heard of it as an option, I appreciate that it will sound

 First this I see is to try scoping your id var:

 ** **

 CFSET pos = ListFindNoCase(autoOrders, qryAuto.id) 

 ** **

 If the value of id is remaining the same as the first query value, then
 it's always going to return 1 as the list position. 

 ** **

 You can also output the id value and it's list pos as a debug measure
 if you want...  Either inline or using cflog or similar.  

 ** **

 cfoutput#id#:#pos#br//cfoutput

 ** **

 If that doesn't uncover your problem, shoot back an email.

 Ajas, I appreciate how you regard the situation as you see it, but I’ll
 just say that in my daily troubleshooting of CF servers as an independent
 consultant, I see things a little differently. But in my opinion, this is
 not something we can productively resolve via back and forth on the list (or
 personal email), as there’s a combination of sharing knowledge in both
 directions to get us on the same page, then getting more clarification about
 what’s going on your server.  To help, I have two proposals for you.

 First, some will know I’ve long had in mind the idea of creating a call-in
 web radio show for people to call-in with questions just like this, where we
 have the freedom/time/ease of talking about it by voice rather than lots of
 emails back and forth (especially given that many people won’t read an email
 of more than a paragraph). I’d been thinking of doing it Thursday
 afternoons, between my online CFMeetups, perhaps 3-3:30. Would you like to
 be the first caller? This could be the impetus to kick this into gear. :-)
 To be clear, it would be voice-only. No screen-sharing (to protect privacy
 of data, and also so that the show could be offered as podcast.) I feel
 confident it can work (since I often help clients while I’m on the road or
 in the car and help solve things without seeing anything on their end.)

 Second, of course I’m also prepared to work with you on a consulting basis
 (in as little as an hour perhaps), to demonstrate that the problem may be
 something else entirely and hopefully resolve it. If your company may be
 interested, let me know. I’ll remind you that I offer my satisfaction
 guarantee, so you won’t pay for time you don’t feel is valuable. My contact
 info is at carehart.org/contact.cfm.

 But certainly if others want to jump in and try to work things out by
 email, I’ll wish you well in the effort and contribute where I can.

 Thanks Charlie. That was helpful. I need to find more details about
 SoftCache in JVM.

 Here is how or why I found this. So our server runs fine, does some GC and
 everything, and ran for 40 days or so. The interesting part is that the
 memory graph in FusionReactor goes up and down (GC) until one fine day I get
 out of memory Heap error.

 We have set JVM memory, min at 512mb and max to 1024 in CF admin. So in
 early days, we stay at 25% use and then as time goes by we stay stuck
 50-65%. By that I mean to say, memory goes up 80-93% but once GC is done we
 are back at 50-65%. This goes on for days until one day I get out of Memory
 Heap space error i.e. CF wont restart and I have to kill jrun in windows
 explorer to restart CF.

 I read this article which says about memory leaks
 http://java.dzone.com/news/how-fix-memory-leaks-java . Very nice article
 and it got me thinking. As one of the example shows, memory goes up by time
 rather than load/sessions meaning there could be a memory leak for objects
 that are being left behind.

 I thought I will add info so people finding this thread might understand
 what was going on.

 I like to do hands on stuff so probably I will use HPJmeter or VisualVM to
 see how we are doing. :-)

 What is a creative way to solve this without so many IF's and minimal

 Alos, the list of user agents can be either file based or pulled from a DB.
 I've done it both ways and I have used both solutions above. Don't see a

[ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion 9 Monitor - stored proc parameters

2011-08-15 Thread Ajas Mohammed
We use FR and also CF 9 Monitor to monitor the server performance. I had 2
questions

1. I noticed when you have monitoring and profiling ON, the slowest queries
(Detail) option shows stored proc call like this under SQL {call
Get_Employees(?, ?, ?, ?)} . It would be nice to know what values were
passed to stored proc. Is there anyway to enable that in CF monitoring?

2. For the same slowest queries tab, the SQL statement showed is sometimes
cut off. I dont know if its because of too much white space in code or limit
on so many characters. Any ideas on this?
Example : select something blah blah
..
   and (colname
after this colname everything is cutoff meaning incomplete query. I
would love to see full query.

Thanks,

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Jrun Pegging CPU to 100% CF9.01

2011-07-22 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Couple of things that might help you pinpoint the issue.

1. Do you have FusionReactor or SeeFusion Installed? If not, I would highly
recommend a monitoring tool. We use FusionReactor and its the best 300$
investment we have done. You could try the trial version at least to see why
you are having issues.

2. You mentioned, its Enterprise CF license. You can also try using CF
built-in monitoring tool available for CFers since CF 8.

Try those first and see if you can isolate the issue. CFDirectory was famous
for issues in CF 7. I am not sure how it does in CF9. Look for permissions
etc also. I remember one app of ours was using CFDirectory and the location
of directory was wrong. This caused the page to hang up like crazy causing
issues.

One more thing. Check out the CF logs and run time logs. That will also give
some insight about the problems you are having.

Hope this helps.

 Yesterday we experienced our Production ColdFusion servers performance
 deteriorate after a URL to access an Energy usage Website was released to
 the
 user community.  This Website allows users to click a link to view a
 dashboard
 of meters showing the energy being used on the EPA campus, the page was
 extremely slow to respond.  The slow response was due to unresponsive RTUs
 (Remote Transmitting Units) that monitor the energy usage for our campus
 and
 supply the content for our energy dashboard page.  The page requests kept
 coming
 in and eventually appeared to overwhelm the server.

 The energy dashboard dials are programed in FLASH.  Thinking the slow
 response
 from the RTU's and the FLASH code not having the data to work with could be
 causing the JRun service to chew up the CPU cycles.  Our application
 programers
 commented out the code that pulled the data from the RTU's and displayed
 the
 dashboard meters.  This did not alleviate JRun from going to 100% CPU
 cycles.
 Stopping and restarting the service did not correct the problem.

 These are several of the errors that we encountered:

 The request has exceeded the allowable time limit Tag: CFLOOP.”
 “The request has exceeded the allowable time limit Tag: cfdirectory”

 “Server: rtfusion.rtp.epa.gov
 Message: Error Executing Database Query.
 Detail: Timed out trying to establish connection”

 “A timeout occurred while attempting to lock application_room_apploader.”
 We failed over to our Standby server and continued serving the user
 community.

 During the maintenance window we re-activated the production server and it
 exhibited the same errors: time outs and JRun eating up the CPU cycles to
 100%.
 We notice this occurred when an application began execution, if the
 application
 loaded or timed out,  the cycles would drop to 0% or normal levels.

 I eventually had to uninstall ColdFusion, clean up the directories (remove
 files
 that remained) and re-install ColdFusion9.01 and the most recent hotfixes
 (chf9010001).
 As of this email posting everything is back functioning properly.

[ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion 9 Standard to Enterprise Trial

2011-05-05 Thread Ajas Mohammed
One of our clients wants to try out CF 9 Enterprise 30 day trial.
Unfortunately, this server already has CF 9 Standard. So I uninstalled CF 9
Standard (because installer wont give option to install server configuration
again) and reinstalled CF 9 server configuration by selecting 30 day trial
option. I also renamed ColdFusion9 folder to ColdFusion9_OLD just to be on
safe side before starting the installer.

After installation, when the configuration/migration settings page runs, CF
admin shows up fine but it says Developer Edition.

How can I get the 30 day trial period Enterprise Edition Server
configuration installed on this server?

This is on Windows 2003 server and its 32 bit. Let me know if you need more
information.

Right, I understand but I think in the past when I have installed trial
edition, it says enterprise trial in system information page of CF
administrator. But in this case, after installation, I am directly getting
developer edition i.e. on first day itself. I dont want that. I guess the
point I am trying to make is that I want the system information to show up
Enterprise trial and not go into developer edition on first day of
installation.

  again) and reinstalled CF 9 server configuration by selecting 30 day
  trial
  option. I also renamed ColdFusion9 folder to ColdFusion9_OLD just to
 be
  on
  safe side before starting the installer.
 
  After installation, when the configuration/migration settings page
 runs,
  CF
  admin shows up fine but it says Developer Edition.
 
  How can I get the 30 day trial period Enterprise Edition Server
  configuration
  installed on this server?
 
  This is on Windows 2003 server and its 32 bit. Let me know if you need
  more
  information.
 
  Thanks,

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion 9 Standard to Enterprise Trial

2011-05-05 Thread Ajas Mohammed
ok, in my case it says,

Welcome to the ColdFusion Administrator
You are using the ColdFusion Developer Edition. This free edition provides
the features of ColdFusion Enterprise, but can only be accessed from the
local machine and two additional IP addresses. The Developer Edition enables
you to learn and develop ColdFusion applications on your standalone
workstation. To deploy your ColdFusion applications, you will need to
purchase a license to the ColdFusion Edition of your choice or utilize
ColdFusion hosting services.

About ColdFusion »
System Information
Server Details
Server Product  ColdFusion
Version  9,0,0,251028
Edition  Developer
Serial Number
Operating System  Windows 2003

I dont know what is telling the installer that there was CF installed before
on this server. I might have to delete registry entries to make it a *FRESH
Installation*.

 Welcome to the ColdFusion Administrator

 ColdFusion Enterprise (Trial)

 You are using the ColdFusion Developer Edition in Trial Mode. Trial
 Mode lets you access the server from multiple IP addresses and enables
 you to evaluate the full capabilities of ColdFusion Enterprise for a
 30-day trial period

 I've got access to all of the enterprise components, but when I print
 a PDF it has the Developer Edition watermark. I guess that's how Adobe
 does the trial.

  Right, I understand but I think in the past when I have installed trial

 up
  Enterprise trial and not go into developer edition on first day of
  installation.

  I do not think the 2 ip restriction is enforced before the 30 day trial

  I would expect you to be able to test with the 50 users. (Otherwise, use

   I understand that Developer is trial of Enterprise edition. They want
   to
   test out Enterprise for a week or so with 50 plus users. I dont think
 I
   can

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Clustering ColdFusion Servers

2011-04-14 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Great information Cameron.

I dont mean to digress but is it possible that lets say 2 CF servers are
load balanced and server 1 is processing 25 requests, can the load balancer
be smart to send next incoming requests to server 2 instead of busy server
1? Do Load balancers have some kind of setting to do that. I think the one
we use is Round Robin, wherein request can go to either servers. I always
wondered if could change that based of load.

Thanks,

 I know nothing about LBs nor about any special development techniques to
 leverage them.  Also, it would not be practical or economical to
 re-visit all our apps to make sure they conform to the restrictions of a
 LB.

 If anything, a clustered environment that would automatically failover
 AND provide relief when demand is heavy would seem to be sufficient.

  In your experience, does it work well?  Any caveats?  Are you doing
  session failover?

 Lastly, and I wanted to send this in a different email...

 If your application can support it, you may want to consider deploying
 this environment with a hardware LB and sticky sessions, and without
 any CF clustering at all.  I have started to favor architecting an
 application in such a way that each server node is REALLY independent
 and can be removed or added on demand with minimal configuration.

 There are many application considerations when you do this so
 typically it requires the CF app to be built specifically in a way
 that supports it.  But I'd say that 90% of the time when I see a CF
 cluster on CF Enterprise, it could have just as easily been a few CF
 Standard boxes behind a load balancer.  Cheaper, and easier to
 horizontally scale.

[ACFUG Discuss] .NET calling Coldfusion 9 Webservice Date issue 1900-01-01T00:00:00Z

2011-04-07 Thread Ajas Mohammed
Hi,

I am working on a project that involves .NET calling my ColdFusion
Webservice. One of the arguments is varDate of type Date. When client (.NET)
user is calling my webservice with a date of 1900-01-01T00:00:00Z, it came
across as 1899-12-31 00:00:00.000

1899-12-31 00:00:00.000 is one day before 1900-01-01T00:00:00Z. I have been
stumped by this behavior.

What would have caused this?

Also, what is a good practice, should I have kept varDate as string instead
of Date?
