Scheduler directory missing.
Hi guys, long time no speak. Hardly doing any CF work these days, but still looking after a couple of long time customers on CF 7. I know it's old (ok, ancient), but it does what I need it to do. I've hardly touched the CF 7 install in years. Today I went to check a scheduled tasks and the entire /scheduler directory is awol. I suspect because I hid it from hackers so well that I can't find it! Is it possible to run a CF7 reinstall to recover this directory without overwriting my existing installation and configuration?

RE: Is time for a change?
I'd be interested to know which route you decide to take. I stopped taking on new clients about 2 years ago. I now look after only 3 and their bandwidth requirements are small. They've all been with me for a very long time and do produce a useful bit of income. My setup now is a windows 2003 server with CF7 / SQL 2000. Old, I know, but it works and there has been nothing of use to me in the upgrades, certainly nothing to make it worth me paying the crazy upgrade costs. The server sits in my garage on a business broadband line, not ideal, I know this, especially as my garage has been converted into a headshot studio for my photography business! I don't have time for the major hassle of porting my sites from CF7 to whatever CF is on now. I also integrating one of the sites quite heavily into my SmarterMail server, such as automated generation of mail list members and I pull the contents of one of the mail lists into an archive made available on the website. Ideally I'd like to get everything shifted to a VPS, but would I be able to run these old applications? And where could I get an inexpensive yet reliable service? I'd appreciate any ideas, please. -Original Message- From: Rick Eidson [mailto:cfh...@kchost.net] Sent: 08 November 2014 01:48 To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Is time for a change?

Again, this is inherently dangerous, period, end of story. This particular installer sets up a web application that is needed to configure the server, and has to immediately function in order to complete the installation process. The web application is the source of nearly every CF vulnerability, and has been for many years. In addition, it's very easy to install that web application securely with just a little bit of knowledge, as I outlined previously. And hey! if you install CF 10 today, it gives you a little checkbox called Secure Profile which does exactly what you want! (Assuming that what you want is to limit access to the CF Administrator, disable RDS, require a complex password, disable debugging and detailed error messages, etc, etc.) I'm still not going to rely on that to secure access to CF Administrator, because I prefer to simply block access to it entirely from untrusted networks. But it seems to solve the specific problem you're complaining about. So, honestly, I'm not really sure what you're going on about, other than administrators shouldn't be bothered to learn what they're doing. Hey sys admin, I'm going to make your day! Here's an app which we KNOW has security issues and requires a lot of maintenance. You're going to have to become an expert in this new technology, invest even more time patching it and discover security leaks you won't even be informed about, it'll be your job to tell the app vendor about that, too! Well, honestly, if you set it up correctly in the first place and followed the instructions in the lockdown guide where appropriate, you actually wouldn't have to worry nearly as much about patches. Given that the vast majority of CF vulnerabilities are in the CF Administrator specifically, if you configure access to that correctly you don't have to become an expert, spend a lot of time patching, or discovering security leaks. The same is true for EVERY PIECE OF SOFTWARE YOU EXPOSE TO UNTRUSTED NETWORKS. People used to expose database servers to the public. Whether a database server has known vulnerabilities or not, that's just a bad idea, and anyone who's installing a database server should know better. In addition, the company that produces the application got hacked recently and the hackers got a lot of user data. I'm not sure how that's all that important here. Adobe was not hacked through a CF vulnerability. If you want to find people using CF, you don't need to hack Adobe to get that. There are lots of people who have that data. Admittedly, if you want to find people who bought older versions of CF, that would be easier to get from Adobe, but that wouldn't tell you whether those people are still using CF or whether their servers were set up properly. In addition, that would have nothing to do with what you want Adobe to do now. To the best of my knowledge, Adobe does not possess a time machine, so they can't go back in time to fix problems in old installed systems other than by providing patches. I guess that it's a good thing that administrators don't have to worry about patching anything else. But we developers, we're not worried about this because if our server gets hacked (through widely published methods well known by the hacker community), it's all YOUR fault! I mean, it's not like you've got anything better to do, is it? *sound of running feet and screaming* I'd be interested to hear how security audits work in your organization. On second though, maybe not. If you think vulnerabilities don't exist for other products, through widely published methods well known by the hacker community, I don't know what to tell you. If you install any application that will be exposed to untrusted networks, you are expected to apply basic due diligence. If you cannot do that, you should not be administering that system. And for CF, at least, it's easy to block the widely published methods well known by the hacker community.

RE: The long tail of ColdFusion fail
I can't say I've read every post, but I have read most. One point I'd like to take up is this business of the CF install and security. I've seen all sorts of statements made about sys admins and their duties which as a past sys admin and IT Manager I found interesting. The idea that any application is installed on a server that is open to the internet, or even if used internally, should be installed in such a way that is open to hacking by default is, quite frankly, ridiculous. I have been responsible for corporate level global infrastructures including the use of firewalls, VPNs, etc. If you have ever worked with any high standard product you will be aware that features remained closed by default. You don't install a firewall and find all the ports are open and you have to select which to close, quite the reverse. The notion that it's the sys admins fault if a product installs in an unsecure way beggers belief. I recognise that PHP and .Net aren't exactly perfect, but for CF to have a backdoor entry point as standard in the install is plainly stupid and it has not helped sell CF as an option. Sure, not all sys admins have the sort of skill set one would expect, I have certainly come across a few of these in my 30 years in IT. However, a sys admin has plenty enough to deal with without being having intrinsically bad application installs thrown at him or her. My tuppenth. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.

RE: CFML tags was: The long tail of ColdFusion fail
Good summary, Rick. Aside from a few customers I still support I'm not looking for more. I found CF very easy to learn because it was a tag based system and I already knew html, it felt familiar. I can just about work out what's going on in a piece of c++, for example, but it's so much easier in CF. I'm strangely sad to leave CF behind, but nothing lasts forever. I do feel that if Adobe had supported the product and marketed it, it would have lasted a little longer and been a lot more fun while it was in it's heyday. One thing that I have noticed is often overlooked. PHP developers generated a LOT of pretty darn good open source applications. CMS, countless eCommerce apps, BBS/forums. I often wonder why so little was done like this by developers for CF. -Original Message- From: Rick Sanders [mailto:r...@webenergy.ca] Sent: 18 March 2014 17:53 To: cf-talk Subject: RE: CFML tags was: The long tail of ColdFusion fail I come from the days of Everyware and Pervasive using the Tango technology. Same idea as CF being a tag-based language with an application server. Tag-based is easier to learn and has many benefits. When Macromedia bought CF, it was a God-send to integrate CF and Dreamweaver together without having to use Homesite or the bulky Allaire CF editor. Unfortunately, Macromedia bombed when it came to marketing Cold Fusion. Remember Ultradev? Macromedia's response to a WYSIWYG java, html, database application which was supposed to replace Dreamweaver? Macromedia focused too much on Ultradev and ignored the much needed CF marketing. Fast forward to Adobe (The document and printing solutions company) with failing web products to buy Macromedia. Like everyone, I was hoping for a re-brand of CF. Nothing happened. They never marketed it. At a trade show in New York (Internet World) I went to the Adobe booth. No one wanted to talk about CF, and there was one brochure with a paragraph mentioning CF that's it. Adobe came out with Cold Fusion Builder which is sort of nifty, but not nearly as good as Dreamweaver for building CF websites. Now Adobe is pushing their Creative Cloud (copying Office 365 are we?) which I would never use because of the continuous hacks to Adobe's servers and private information breaches. So what are the alternatives? PhP. Not secure, messy code, can't load balance between multiple servers unless you BUY an app server for it. Most PhP hosters throw the web server, database server and email server on the same box and call it a day. I programmed PhP code for a year and will never do it again. The problems with hacking, SQL injection attacks, URL hacks etc... take up time to fix at the developer's expense. PhP, Linux, MYSQL, Cpanel, Wordpress Joomla and many others are free. You get what you pay for. A proper coded CF site won't get hacked if the code is well written and the server is configured properly. There's ASP.net but personally I don't want to program something for 3 months in .NET that takes 3 weeks in CF. Plus Microsoft changes things around way too much, and Visual Studio is stupid expensive. Sure there's Expression web (does anyone really use it?) and some plugins for Dreamweaver. There's Dot Net Nuke if you have lots of time on your hands too. Most of my clients don't want to wait. And .NET developers are the snobs of the development community expecting high hourly rates. Content Management Server was a nice touch if you had deep pockets and lots of staff to maintain multiple servers but Microsoft did away with that too. Is CF dying? It is dying a slow death in my opinion. Adobe has dropped the ball with marketing. Heck, they don't even use it on their own site! PhP is the internet king for programming, and Wordpress is keeping developers making thousands of plugins for it. In the technical colleges and universities they teach PhP, Java, and .NET. New developers aren't even exposed to CF anymore. When you say Adobe, the first 2 things that come to mind are PDF and Photoshop. I'll continue to use CF for as long as I can, then just leave the web development game since the only player is PhP and I don't have the time nor desire to get into that technology.

RE: Adobe take over a MONTH to advise me my credit card details are stolen
Hi Mike, Log every single communication. Date/time/who you spoke to/their job title/department/their direct line number/email address. Create a group in your email client and add every email address you get and every time you email them, email it to every address you have. You need the name of every first line support op. you spoke to, speak to at least two supervisors. Try and get to a supervisors boss. Then, do exactly the same in the complaints department. Adobe probably publish somewhere the names of key personnel up the chain. See what names you can find. Most peoples' email addresses follow a set format in corporates. J.Joe@ JohnDoe@ Try a few, you'll be bound to nail them. By the time you have done all of this you should have a mail list of about a dozen people who you hit with every single email.

Thanks for that.@Dave Watts, as always a thoughtful and considered response. I have actually done all those things, with some success, as you'll see if you read on. @Russ, I took your approach with the next guy I had on the live chat - I imagine he has some eloquent names for me now. @Mac, I am now looking at alternatives to the Creative Cloud.It's clear that if anything goes wrong with my relationship with Adobe, or anything happens to Adobe, I'm screwed. (Based on the state of the Australian Adobe, it's not far-fetched to consider them disappearing entirely from the landscape). And thanks to @Ray Camden for offering to step up and go to bat on my behalf. It's not his role there and not a problem of his causing, but he volunteered to try to fix it for me. First of all,I cannot talk to ANYONE at Adobe on the phone. Australians cant call US 1800 numbers they dont work. and anyway I can't call internationally on my mobile phone. I dont have a big enough mortgage. I have been trying to call someone in the Australian end of Adobe for almost a month, and you can never get through to anyone. They dont answer the phone. All you get is a message bank, and then they don't call back. Secondly, I have already gone up the support tree several times to what the person on the live chat window says was the appropriate team. (when i ask what the name of that team is, I dont get an answer.) I have had a bucket full of promises and assurances that came to nothing. It will all be fine within 24 hours I've been repeatedly assured, only to see nothing happens - 3 days later I'm still getting the you have xx days before your subscription lapses. message. Thirdly, I never store my files on the cloud exclusively. I will do my own backups and have control of what happens to them, and have a backup on the cloud as double indemnity.I'm talking about being able to start Photoshop, Fireworks, Edge, Dreamweaver, Audition etc. With no Creative Cloud subscription valid, they will stop or be crippled. Fourthly, the situation is now resolved. I got pretty aggressive in yet another online chat (the only way I can interact with Adobe - they dont have any email addresses published so I can't send emails and can't phone them), because if I can't run Audition before my radio show starts I'm in deep trouble preparing it. Radio has very inflexible deadlines. I felt a bit sorry for the poor support guy on the end of the chat because he copped it all. It wasn't his fault but where else could I apply any pressure to get this resolved since I couldn't talk to anyone on the phone and until Jochem gave me the email address, I had no way to communicate by email either? To his credit, he remained calm although I am sure he was swearing at me behind the keyboard, and he told me someone from the appropriate team would call me. I demanded that the call be NOW while I am here and that he remain on the chat until its resolved. To my surprise, someone did indeed call me right then and we got the matter resolved. My credit card is processed and my Creative Cloud subscription is once again current. And they've given me 2 months free as compensation. I feel its pretty small compensation given the amount of billable time I've wasted extracting empty promises and assurances from Adobe, but it's something so I'll live with that. The base problem is this: [A] if my credit card payment didnt go through the first time, I should have had an email informing me, and they should have attempted the charge again a few days later.

RE: CF running out of steam
So CF is a great for getting into development for newbies, but expect to pay an enterprise level price. And if you are an enterprise, then you'll probably using something else anyway because you won't really need a newbie product. I recognise I'm not at the level on CF that many of you are here, but I have been able to develop quite nice eCommerce and CMS applications. What I don't like so much is that all I need, pretty much, is about 50% of what CF can do, having bought into a get started easily product, yet I'm still stuffed with enterprise level prices. IMO, CF has failed to identify where it actually sits in the market and to offer a range of functionalities and price tag that match. -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:dwa...@figleaf.com] Sent: 15 March 2013 14:27 To: cf-talk Subject: Re: CF running out of steam programming. CF does what you need with server-side programming. But server-side application development tools are basically a commodity at this point. You can do anything with anything. There's nothing I can not quite. make sure you're sitting down not drinking anything, then check the price of an arcGIS server license (inside the US, prices outside the US might make your head explode). plus you need at least one desktop seat (about the same cost as enterprise cf) just to manage your arcGIS servers. in large enterprise projects that make use of that kind of server platform, cf's relatively cheap a very nice fit especially where you have to dip into java libs to get stuff done, run off reports, etc. Yeah, my comparison was aimed at general-purpose server-side programming environments, not stuff like arcGIS. And CF is definitely cheap for enterprise software - and that might actually be a problem in the enterprise, as people in the enterprise often equate cost with value. (There's no other explanation I have for the continued success of Oracle.) If you compare CF to ASP.NET, or to common J2EE environments, or to PHP, CF is easier to use, but not so much easier that everyone's going to switch to it from those other things.

I rarely (never these days) receive ANYTHING from Adobe that discusses any of the above from an Adobe perspective. Adobe has content and human resources to be far more of push organization that it is. They seem to miss the fundamental perspective that I preach to my clients all the time. Push your benefits and products to current and prospective clients. Don't sit back and wait for them to come to you. There are *ALWAYS* others waiting to fill that void that's created and take the business which could be yours if they simply are significantly aware of what you offer and its benefits. Adobe fails at the most fundamental marketing strategy: Developing Top-of-mind awareness.

You should have at least one plan B. Never stop learning new things inside and outside of programming. I remember the discussion when CF changed from very low cost to an enterprise price (V3-V4?). I gave it up and went with ASP since it was free. The same discussions about price were happening back then. I don't know the answer, but CF has had a lot of resilience. (I ended up back in CF once I started using corporate servers.) The main thing anyone can do is be active in the CF community, but be realistic. Nothing lasts forever. What would realistically happen to CF developers if Adobe canned ColdFusion? Most enterprises that use it would keep it running for a while and employ people to rewrite applications eventually. I don't know how long Adobe will keep ColdFusion, but I assume for some time in the future. Don't let something out of your control define your future (or at least hedge your bets.)

RE: CF running out of steam
It is too expensive and its main competition is free. It's not just expensive for business running their own servers, it is expensive for hosting companies too. Adobe missed the boat years ago to give it away either free or at a student price. When I talk to potential customers, none of them have heard of it and it puts up a barrier. I agree that customers worry that if I was ever not around, who could they find to help them, this loses me too many potential customers and even existing customers I have worked with for years have the same underlying concerns. Even the upgrade prices are extortionate and what we actually get in an upgrade often isn't that big a deal to MOST developers. Since version 7 the only feature I have come to need that is in a current product is EXIF extraction. There is almost a complete lack of applications in developed with CF. Look a PHP applications: phpBB, WordPress, osCommerce - here are some more:- http://blog.fedecarg.com/2008/05/22/20-most-influential-open-source-web-appl ications/ Google for Coldfusion applications:- https://www.google.co.uk/#hl=ensclient=psy-abq=copldfusion+applicationsoq =copldfusion+applicationsgs_l=hp.3..0i13l2j0i13i30j0i13i10i30.91106.93524.2 .93995.13.12.0.0.0.2.153.1513.0j12.12.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.5.psy-ab.Xpivj0a2 0Topbx=1bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.bvm=bv.43287494,d.d2kfp=d76e512bfb3860c7b iw=1680bih=893 Don't get me wrong, I love Coldfusion, but I can't see it lasting unless Adobe do something drastic to get the ball rolling - I don't see that happening, and even if they did, it is probably too late. -Original Message- From: Bryan Stevenson [mailto:br...@electricedgesystems.com] Sent: 14 March 2013 00:14 To: cf-talk Subject: Re: CF running out of steam + 1 *Bryan Stevenson*B.Comm.

RE: EXF Photo Information
Thanks for the reply, cfimage doesn't really cover it. The EXIFs can store all of the camera settings when the shot was taken, photo title/photographer/keyboards/decroiption and author, copyright, and a lot more. With sites like Flickr and Zenfolio, they will read this from the photograph. So the photo only has to prepare an image once and wherever it is uploaded that information will be automatic. -Original Message- From: AJ Mercer [mailto:ajmer...@gmail.com] Sent: 25 February 2013 03:10 To: cf-talk Subject: Re: EXF Photo Information you can try CFIMAGE action=info https://github.com/getrailo/railo/wiki/Documentation:4_0:Tags:cfimage You can download and test out quickly with Railo Express http://www.getrailo.org/index.cfm/download/ On 25 February 2013 10:34, Jenny Gavin-Wear jenn...@fasttrackonline.co.ukwrote: Hi all, I am still using CF7 and I'm about to put together a site for a photographer.

Hi all, I am still using CF7 and I'm about to put together a site for a photographer. I don't really want to spend a fortune upgrading CF, so I am wondering if there is anything I can use to read in EXIF information? If this isn't possible with CF, perhaps it could be done with Railo? I'd appreciate any ideas/solutions/pointing in the right direction. TIA, Jenny -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. SPAMfighter has removed 8868 of my spam emails to date.

RE: CFINVOKE - Component Location
Hi Ray, Thanks for your reply. Yes I could use a cfmapping, however I'm a bit confused as I thought the cfmappings were for accessing files outside the web root or its sub-directories. I read By default, ColdFusion MX defines a mapping for the web root (/). You can define additional mappings to allow access to pages outside of the web root. So I don't understand why I can't use this default mapping- I realise I can't bit I also realise I need to understand why. I created a cfmapping pointing to a directory inside the webroot of the application called /gallerycomponents. Then I tried running the cfinvoke as follows, but it appears I have some syntax wrong. cfinvoke component=/gallerycomponents/functions.cfc method=getTags I read up in your book, CF 7 Construction Kit, that a mapping can be used when invoking the component, but there wasn't a syntax example using a mapping.

Subscription is required for membership of the list and there is also an opt-in option on the member profile. So on a daily basis the subscriber list is recompiled based on subscriptions.

RE: (ot) Maillist with API
Hi Dave, I had a look at Google Groups hoping for an API. It seems they are revamping it and there is currently no API. There is an option to use the all new and sparkling Google Groups, but much of the interface is still in development.

Hi Brian, I looked at Topica, but it appears to be a marketing mail list service, not discussion mail list, or am I wrong? Also, I couldn't see any evidence of an API?

Many thanks to Dave, Mark and Jonah for your replies. To be honest, I wasn't very happy with my solution in the first place. The solution was to wait for a file to be thumb-nailed before deleting a temporary file that had been uploaded. I am using this as a substitute: cfset waitforthis = #application.webroot#file-store-user\#session.userID#.gif cfloop condition=fileExists(waitforthis) eq 0 /cfloop So I check for a new file to exist before deleting the upload. -Original Message- From: .jonah [mailto:jonah@creori.com] Sent: 11 December 2011 23:31 To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Puzzling error OR you could just use sleep()!

RE: Hiding email address from spiders
Hi Dave, I am familiar with form protect, nice solution. However, these emails can be anywhere in a body of text created with the CMS. (fckeditor/ntext.) I'm playing with this roughly coded idea:- cfset myContent = you can see my email address myem...@home.com is inside a string cfoutput Before: #myContent#br br cfloop from=1 to=#listlen(myContent, )# index=I cfif isvalid(email,listgetat(myContent, I, )) cfset myEmail = #listgetat(myContent, I, )# cfset temp = #encrypt(myEmail,'ukasfp')# cfset temp = urlencodedformat(temp) cfset myContent = replace(myContent, myEmail, 'a href=contact-form-page.cfm?email=#temp#click here/a') /cfif /cfloop After: #myContent#br br br /cfoutput But I'm getting spaces in the urlencoded value.

The bots generally read a form and then brute force attack it filling out or not filling out fields to bypass this exact method. While I fully agree in principal that the form protection should be transparent the use of a simple 3-5 characters short and legible captcha has so far been the absolute best deterrent to automated bots that I have found. Have you used CFFORMPROTECT? I've found that to work very well, with the added bonus that it's not a deterrent to real users the way a CAPTCHA is.

Encrypted strings can contain all sorts of interesting characters and using URLEncodedFormat() isn't generally recommended for passing an encrypted string through the URL. Use the toBase64() function to base-64 encode it, THEN use URLEncodedFormat() and pass that through to the URL instead. It will be a lot cleaner and prevent the encrypted string from becoming malformed in transit which could lead to problems decrypting it later. On the receiving end, decode the base-64 format back to another variable and you'll be all set: cfset original = toBinary(url.my_base_64_value) / -Justin ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:348173 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: Hiding email address from spiders
Thanks, Bobby, exactly along the lines I am thinking. The mail address for me has no mailto:, it's just contained in a string. I'm wondering if I'll have to check the whole string for the existance of an email address by looping through each word, or if there is an easier/faster way? For example, this code would find the string. However, I don't know if I can use a regular expression, for example, to rereplace the string with ascii? (Never used regex before...) Or could I use a regular expression to search AND replace the email address with ascii on the whole string, which would be a lot faster? cfset mystring = this is the email address myaddr...@home.com that I use cfset mynewString = cfoutput cfloop from=1 to=#listlen(mystring, )# index=I cfif isvalid(email, listgetat(mystring, I, )) !--- now set this to ascii --- #listgetat(mystring, I, )#br cfelse cfset mynewString = #mynewString# #listgetat(mystring, I, )# /cfif /cfloop #mynewString# /cfoutput Jenny Gavin-Wear Fast Track Online Tel: 01262 602013 http://www.fasttrackonline.co.uk/ -Original Message- From: Bobby Hartsfield [mailto:bo...@acoderslife.com] Sent: 08 October 2011 04:09 To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Hiding email address from spiders Here is a page with an example of the source: http://cf4em.com/cf4em/index.cfm?mainaction=postsforumid=2threadid=63 The last post has my email address in the last sentence.
