RE: ColdFusion|JRun CPU and|or memory problem.
Ian, Doing triage I always look at (in order). 1) client vars - are they stored in the registry? If so you could have an issue deleting that that shows up as the purge process starts hitting actual values to attempt to delete. 2) DB issues - Trouble on the DB spells trouble for the CF Server for most aps - even though CF gets the blame :) Look for locks and blocks. After that I start looking pot luck of other things -Mark -Original Message- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:h...@ilsweb.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 3:38 PM To: cf-talk Subject: ColdFusion|JRun CPU and|or memory problem. Any good information on how to track down what is causing a ColdFusion server to behave badly. The symptoms we have to date: 1) Starting January 5th, our Windows 2003, ColdFusion Web Server will suddenly jump from under 5% CPU usage to an average over 50% with frequent spikes to 80%, 90% and over. 2) When this happens the JRun process for our main JRun process will be running with over 600,000kb of memory. 3) Restarting this ColdFusion instances resets the server back to it's normal 5% CPU usage. 4) When I point the Administrator monitor at the server nothing seems to be obviously wrong 5) *EXCEPT* The monitor will sometimes report an Application Scope of nearly 821,000,000,000,000kb. Yes, that is over 100 petabytes of data according to Wolfram-Alpha. I am pretty sure we do not have that much memory on this server. The weird thing is that there does not seem to be a correlation between that impossible memory spike and the problem with the server. I have been able to see the spike twice since I have started monitoring things yesterday. Once this occurred during a problem period, once it did not. Using the monitor and looking at the various log files, I can not find any clear smoking gun, so I am looking for advice on how one my track down an elusive problem like this. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

There actually IS a 64bit version of the MSDASQL provider. After installing
that and adding 'Provider=MSDASQL;' to all connection strings, everything
started working fine.

We
are in the process of setting up a 64bit, multiserver configuration
ColdFusion server. We have setup and tested multiserver configuration
in the past but that was on 32bit. This is our first attempt at 64bit.
- Windows 64bit Server 2003 R2
- CF 8 Enterprise 64 bit
Some
parts of our application still contain legacy ASP code and we use
System DSNs to allow that legacy code to talk to our databases. With
64bit, we are receiving the following error anytime ASP attempts to talk
to a system DSN.
ADODB.Connection error '800a0ea9'
Provider is not specified and there is no designated default provider.
/openadmin/_scripts/conn.inc, line 11
I
found a couple of different reasons and alleged solutions to this but
have still had no luck solving it. The first, and most common,
explanation that I've found is that the MSDASQL.dll (provider for ODBC
drivers) has no 64 bit version and that SQLOLEDB should be used
instead. To use SQLOLEDB, the suggestion was to add the provider
argument to your connection strings:
DSN=systemDSNName;UID=username;PWD=password;
Prodvider=SQLOLEDB;
When
I try that, I receive a different error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
Invalid connection string attribute
/openadmin/_scripts/conn.inc, line 11
Another
solution was to use the connection string argument Driver={SQL Server}
instead of the provider. But when I try that, I get a completely
different error message:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or
access denied.
/openadmin/_scripts/conn.inc, line 11
Another
solution, yet again, was to use the 32bit version of the ODBC Manager
to create your system DSNs. I tried that as well with all of the same
results. I also tried setting IIS to run as a 32 bit application by
setting Enable32BitAppOnWin64 to true but that resulted in a different
error as well:
%1
is not a valid Win32 application.
I
also tried all of the same connection string changes from above while
running at 32bit but there was no change in this error messages.
As
you can see, I'm not having much luck. Has anyone else had this issue
before
that might be able to offer some suggestions?
Thanks
for any help you can offer.

Dave, I didn't catch that it was an external drive - I think if it's an external USB drive you might be right - I was thinking more along the lines of a hot swap sata drive on a sled that plugs into a empty bay.

RE: Server Performance
2 things for you. First, check the DB for blocks and locks - about 9 times out of ten queuing requests are due to DB requests that are hanging. For some reason we web developers bang our head against CF over and over thinking there is something we can do on the web server to solve problems that exist on the DB server :) Secondly, If you are already running perfmon then you can get the information on which site is busiest (or at least handling the most requests). Choose web service and then Current connections and all instances. Use the report view (the little page icon next to the chart icon on the toolbar) it is clearer. Oh... current connections is appropriate for Wind2003 and above. For windows 2000 use current anonymous users. What you should see (using the report view) is a horizontal list of all your sites. The _total will be the first item. On a busy server you may need to scroll to the right to see them all. You can click on them and delete the ones you know are not the problem. Even though seeFusion and fusionReactor are great tools, I set up saved Perfomon mcc's for all my windows servers - in fact you can view the counters remotely (if you have the right domain rules in place) and you can see more than one server at a time in the same perfmon instance. Granted it is less introspective than one of the Java tools - but for a quick glimpse of a server to answer the question - how busy is it - in real time, it's handy and easy. -Mark Mark A.

I'm tired of writing form input validation routines over and over again. Using CFINPUT and its validation options work great for the front end, but it's still a pain to write input validation on the server-side, and the rules between the two can get out of sync, and the built-in validation rules don't have as much flexibility as server-side rules do. I'm working on a project where I have some flexible time to write a new tool and wanted to see if there would be any interest in the community in a tool defined as such: A form library that would allow a form with all of its properties and validation requirements to be defined in one place (likely a JSON file) which would then 1) Generate the form for display (optional), 2) provide for AJAX-based client-side validation, and 3) provide server-side validation. The core library would have a number of built-in validation options and allow for new rules to be added as needed without changing the core library files. My thought is that this would help speed development by centralizing form definitions and properties and make input validation on both the client and server side consistent and reliable without having to constantly write and rewrite huge blocks of cfif/cfelseif code for each form. Thoughts? Opinions? Bad idea? Someone already release something that does this? If it sounds like something you could use, please let me know. If it's pursued, it would be released free for the community to use, but I don't want to waste time building it if something similar exists or nobody else could benefit from it.

RE: Load-balancing servers
Rick, The questions to ask are - what are you doing with session variabls and client variables, and .. What are the capabilities of your chosen load balancing method. Remember that the potential here is for a user to bounce back and forth between your servers while surfing your site - so you have to be able to imagine the impact of that on the user. Will he lose his session? Will that matter? Etc. If you are using a hardware load balancer they typically come with choices to help mitigate these issues (like sticky sessions for example). As for files - you have to be able to either sync files between the servers or use a shared file storage - and there are trade offs to each of these approaches. -mark Mark A.

Great rundown Brad -mk -Original Message- From: b...@bradwood.com [mailto:b...@bradwood.com] It has always been my understanding that CF was better suited to fast running processes. In general, fast request times are desired when they are a response to a web request. Nobody is sitting in front of a keyboard waiting for your long running job to complete so there's really nothing wrong with the fact that is will run for a long time. I've run scheduled tasks that took hours on ColdFusion and it worked fine. If you have a dedicated ColdFusion server processing this job, I say do it. If you want this process to run on your main ColdFusion server that is also serving your web content, you have a few questions to ask yourself. At face value a long running process can have the following affects on the server: 1) It uses a thread. You only have so many of these available. If no more than 1 of these long running processes are gong at the same time, it will only be taking 1 thread at any given time away from the rest of the server. 2) It can take CPU usage from your CF server. This is largely dependent on WHAT the process is doing. Is most of the process CFML code execution? If so, it will probably take a lot of CPU load and will slow down the other threads. If 99% of the process is waiting on some huge database query to run, then I would say that thread will have a very minimal impact on the other requests. 3) It can cause locks on CF/Web resources. This depends on what the code does. There could be CFLOCKs your app may have which would affect other requests. If you are running ColdFusion Standard, there are semaphore locks for things like PDF generation and SMS gateways because they are single-threaded unless you have ColdFusion Enterprise. A process that reads or writes a large number of files may also bog down disk activity for the server. Memory consumption may also be an issue. Once again, this all depends on what your process is doing. 4) It can cause locks on DB resources. If this process spends a lot time hitting the database, it can cause a lot locks and disk I/O based on what it is doing. If it is reading only, this would be a very good place for a replicated DB server. So I guess my answer is a big fat it depends. I would say there are long-running jobs that would be perfectly safe to have on a box also serving a web site. That being said, I would personally feel much safer having it run on a dedicated server. ~Brad ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: Writing query to a csv file
Well.. The code below would uh... Create the same file over and over with only the last row... Unless I'm reading it wrong ;) What you needs is something like Cfsavecontent variable =csvcfoutput query=get_all ##TRIM(ed_first_name)#,#TRIM(ed_last_name)#,#TRIM(ed_fi_last_name)#,#TRIM(ed _title)#,#TRIM(ed_email)#, And so on /cfsavecontent Cffile write=c:\blah.csv output=#trim(csv)#/ You can't use html (like br) in a csv.. Instead you use actual line breaks (chr(10) or chr(10)chr(13) for windows). But the code above will add those because they are created when you code and hit enter :) Good luck.

RE: CF7 multiserver config with JRun and SSL = 500 errors
Am I wrong... It sounds like you are trying to get the site to be served via
SSL - that would not require you to do anything with the keystore. The
keystore comes into play when CF has to make HTTP calls to an SSL URL
(cfhttp, web service etc).

Subject: CF7 multiserver config with JRun and SSL = 500 errors
I need some help. I have been put on a project where half the site is run
through SSL. I have never set up an SSL site before.
First, I configured MAMP Pro (my Apache server) for SSL using these
instructions:
http://www.webopius.com/content/355/getting-mamp-working-with-ssl-on-os-x
Then I followed these instructions to set up a keyStore and trustStore for
my CF7 Jrun instance:
http://www.bpurcell.org/blog/index.cfm?mode=entryentry=1064
I created different key stores (cedmx7dev.keystore) and trust stores
(cedmx7dev.trustStore) because I was getting a weird error using the
defaults.
I edited the jrun.xml file and uncommented the lines and updated for the
ability to use the ProxyService with SSL:
!--
=
--
!-- This service is for communicating with a native (IIS, Apache, Netscape)
--
!-- web server.
--
!-- To run this service in a secure mode via SSL, set the keyStore,
--
!-- keyStorePassWord, trustStore and socketFactoryName attributes.

attribute
name=trustStore{jrun.rootdir}/lib/cedmx7dev.trustStore/attribute
attribute
name=socketFactoryNamejrun.servlet.jrpp.JRunProxySSLServerSocketFactory/
attribute
And the end result is... 500 errors. The Apache log just says this: [notice]
jrApache[74382: 26873] JRun will not accept request. Check JRun web server
configuration and JRun mappings on JRun server.
I am lost and at this point need some help. Thanks in advance.

RE: cfsqltype error
If you change something on the server (add a column to a table for example) ColdFusion still holds onto the old schema. Consequently it tries to insert into a column that is incorrectly mapped (via the tableid or whatever in the system tables of the db in question). Here's a post with the scoop. http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2005/4/29/dbschemaChange To mitigate it you need to force the schema to be recached. Restarting CF does it of course, but so does changing some of your queries - adding a space works well on selects for example. -Mark Mark A.

RE: remote FTP directly from client browser
Robert, I don't think you will be able to do this Unless perhaps you can use a unc path or mnt to some other server (although I fail to see how this would be more secure). What you need is to be able to FTP from the client directly to the FTP server. I guess you will need to look for a Java applet or active X to do that - or possibly a flash object? Of course doing it this way means that the permissions for the FTP will end up on the client (in order to make it's own indpendent connection) which is far less secure (at least for the FTP server) than storing and forwarding the file. -Mark Mark A.

Subject: Re: Debugging Out of Memory errors, SeeFusion Memory / Active
requests graph
An update on this, for my own reference as well as for people googling. I
have, following various people's advice, changed the memory profile of our
application quite dramatically and I will summarize what I changed and the
tools I used to find the problems. I shall properly blog this later, no time
now.
Firstly, after installing and using JConsole, I figured it was high time I
learned about JVM and its memory spaces. I found the following articles very
useful:
http://www.slideshare.net/gengmao/inside-the-jvm-memory-management-and-troub
leshooting
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2002/jw-0111-hotspotgc.html
I had also followed Paul's advice and increased New Gen space in the heap,
which did have an immediate effect, just not as large as I had hoped - more
on that in a bit.
Next I found error logs in the same directory as the jvm.config file (mine
was {colfusion}/runtime/bin), the part dump of which is seen below. It
turned out this was a reasonably common error, and not just to do with CF:
http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/4/28/Understanding-HotSpot-in
-Plain-English
This article recommended using the -Xint JVM option to turn off Hotspot
optimization. I did this and the effect was pretty disastrous on performance
(the effect can vary a lot depending on the nature of your application,
apparently).
I searched some more and found an article suggesting that to avoid the
error, free 'Survivor' space needed increasing - this seemed in line with
the state of memory at the time of my crash so I went ahead and started
tweaking, bringing me back to Paul's earlier advice but finally seeing me
use more dramatic settings:
-Xmn384m -XX:SurvivorRatio=1 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=25
This says, use 384Mb for new gen, of which 2/3rds will be for Survivor
space; also, the GC will aim to keep survivor space at least 75% empty (no
more than 25% full).
I ended with these figures after a whole heap of teaking that had previously
brought my memory spikes down. This had the benefit of clearly showing
little jumps in Old Gen memory every 10 seconds or so. I tracked these jumps
down using JConsole to spot the time of the jump and SeeFusion to see what
templates were requested at those times. My tracking led me to the same page
that appeared in my error log, a verity search. I googled and found:
Operations on collections (e.g., CFSearch and CFIndex) can cause growth
over time.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/175/tn_17517.html
No workarounds, that's just the way it is. I noted the size of memory being
eaten by these searches (up to and around 15MB) and ended with the JVM
settings quoted above, the idea being that there should be enough new gen
memory available to cope with these verity searches (so that object don't
just get dumped into Old gen all the time).
Finally, and most dramatically, I found some code that allowed a blank
search against verity. When I ran it, I found it ate 100-150Mb or RAM each
time. Using subversion, I found out when this became possible and why. It
turns out this code was committed and deployed the same day we started
seeing the crash reports on our servers and that it was an unneccessary
change, fixing the symptom of a bug but not the cause. I reverted the
change.
So now I have a very different JVM memory configuration on one of our live
servers and have committed a code change that will alleviate some horrid
memory abuse to all three. I have JConsole monitoring all three servers and
can see the modified server memory useage starkly contrasted against the
other two. I shall keep them running for a while and see how things go...
Anyways, enough already.
Dominic
2009/11/18 Dominic Watson watson.domi...@googlemail.com
Right, so changing Eden memory size had a slight effect on the memory
useage pattern (spikes only going up to around 80% instead of 95%),
but did not stop the crashing.
Getting to grips with JConsole has been really useful / educating. I
have been monitoring all three of our live servers overnight and one
of the servers bombed this morning; I was then able to see what was
going on in memory when the bomb occurred:
* Old Gen - normal, using far less than peak
* Perm gen - normal, sub 90MB
* Eden - normal, far less than the 192MB allocated
* Survivor - had been flat at max (20MB) for around 20 seconds. Normal
shape of this graph for the server is very spikey, peaking very
briefly and very often
I then discovered the hs_err log for the crash (yes, I'm a server
debugging
noob) and it told me the following:

RE: CFHTTP Connection Failure
H. So the call to HTTP works, but HTTPS does not URLs are exactly the same I assume you have pinged around and made sure that the 4 servers resolve the domain exactly the same right? And you have tried a CF Restart? Sometimes the DNS cache for the JVM will have the wrong address in it if you have been making networking changes etc. Remember also that each server needs to be examined from the console (from RDP or whatever). You have to be able to troubleshoot by making outgoing requests from the individual servers. Still, I'm with dave. If it works via HTTP but not HTTPS it has to be the certs somehow. This post is about SSL 3.0 http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2009/2/24/CF-SSL30-Authorize-net But it also includes some info on how to test CF and the JVM and log the results.

RE: Rather big log
You may also need to delete the client key. It could be that the Registry is full and new entries are not able to be written. If you switch to something else (DB or cookie), the CF routine that handles purging will still attempt to clear out these variables. If you do decide to clear navigate to HCLM/software/macromedia/ColdFusion/currentversion/ and right click on clients and choose delete. I recommend that you do not try to expand the clients key. If you do you might as well go for a cup of coffee :) Of course it could be that someone has altered permissions for writing to the registry (that's a common method of preventing client vars that I've heard recommended) - in which case simply switching to something else will do the trick. -Mark Mark A.

RE: CF load times on VPS
Chip, As Jordan pointed out much of the stuff to check will be up to your NOC support guys. Here's things that come to the top of my head. Sometimes hosts use virtual network to isolate your system from other systems in the same data center or on the same rack. In that case the connection is going through VPN protocols which can incur overhead. In addition, DNS comes into play if you are using a FQDN (your machine has to look it up). Note: If you use an IP address your stack will actually look up the Reverse address :) You could be running into inside/outside firewall behavior where your traffic is hitting the firewall which routes it back to the other box - making the inside interface of the firewall a possible bottleneck. You could also be running afoul of NIC capacity on the VPS - which shares it's overall capacity with N number of VPS on the same box. Of course if the 2 servers are in different locations you might be onto something with the hop count or total number of interfaces that examine the packets en route. And further up the stack (as Jared mentioned) are drivers, driver settings, connection pooling etc. That's all I can think of. -Mark Mark A.

I wanted to respond in case any other novices to dedicated machines run into the same issue. After debugging, I realized the performance issue was in the database query time. As MySQL was being run on a separate box, for whatever reason the connection between my VPS and the database-hosting box was not as fast as the connection between my shared host and the MySQL database it was querying. Was this because of physical distance between boxes? Maybe they were housed in different locations?

RE: cfc's above the webroot
It's always good to be security conscious :) Without the ability to fully control the server here's one trick (a little clunky but serviceable). You can put your CFCs in a subfolder and include an application.cfc in the subfolder that aborts any requests directly to that folder. /application.cfc /index.cfm .. Calls to createobject(cfclib.mycomponent) /cfclib/application.cfc ... Includes an abort in onRequest /cfclib/mycomponent.cfc - your component As long as you are accessing the CFC from index.cfm the application in question will be the one from the root /... But trying to access it directly from a URL (for example) will cause it to fail. -mark Mark A.

Otherwise it may not be able to resolve the server name or it may resolve it using some other means and give you the real instead of the vpn address. Keep in mind that this VPN connection must be available to all users and not just a connection dialed by a user (i.e. logging in and connecting) - it needs to be running at a lower level than the desktop and stay connected.

They need to move the administrative interface for some CF applications off of their public-facing website. The applications store some sensitive data that require there be no public interface available. The interim solution is to move the administrative interfaces onto a web-server inside their firewall, create a VPN from this box to the external public-facing web-server, and connect to the databases using the VPN tunnel. The databases in question are SQL Server or Access. They've got the VPN functional (using virtual IP configuration), and have mapped a drive through to the directory where the Access DBs reside. Unfortunately, they're getting an error trying to create the DSN on the internal ws. The servers are Windows servers. Using either the drive-letter of the mapped path, or a UNC addressing scheme, the error received is: Connection verification failed for data source:[datasourcename] java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] '(unknown)' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.

Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. They also tried using the Access Unicode driver, and get a slightly different error, but essentially the same: Connection verification failed for data source:[datasourcename] com.inzoom.adojni.ComException: Not a valid file name. The root cause was that: com.inzoom.adojni.ComException: Not a valid file name. in Microsoft JET Database Engine code=0 Type=1 They have checked the user the CF services are running under, have logged in as that user and verified that it has access to the share and the files therein. Also, CF can successfully create Access DSNs on the local server without problem. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Victor, Do you mean you are passing a list of 500 addresses in a single attribute? As in: cfmail to=b...@blah.com,bl...@blah.com ... If that is what you are doing I would not be surprised if there is a buffer for that attribute that truncates your string at some point. You would be better off looping through your addresses.

Environment: Windows 2003, CF8.01 ent The server stopped sending emails After checking the logs .I found out that it stopped after complaining that one email had Invalid Address which is strange because I check all emails using isEmail () before sending and I looked at all the emails in the spool directory and none have any bad email addresses.The one that CF was complaining about had 500 email addresses but all are valid. After that, no emails are sent out. They just sit in the spool directory. I have tried to move them in and out, play with CF admin mail settings but no luck. Somehow the original message caused CF server to ignore mail messages in the spool directory. So my questions are: Is it possible to re-send the emails, short of restarting CF? Second why would an email fail with Invalid address if all the emails are valid email addresses. Third, why will that error cause CF server to black out and stop sending emails (even if after I have manually removed the so called offending email with Invalid Address) Thanks Victor ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

However, we just recently began running into a problem where one of our ColdFusion instances will generate a folder in the stubs directory, and then generate all of the subfolders, but it will not actually generate a stub class file. Does anyone know why the stub class file would not be getting generated? Is there a setting that someone may have changed that would cause this? I can't replicate this on any of our other ColdFusion boxes. I even tried to replicate it on a clean install of ColdFusion, but (as expected) - on a clean install, everything worked perfectly. Also, the only error we're getting from the box is the java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ... , and again, the reason for this seems to be that the stub class isn't getting generated on the box (folders are being generated, class files aren't).

Subject: CFDOCUMENT SRC= and Dynamic HTML
Is there any way to capture a rendered page that uses DHTML? I have a simple
test case where I use some JS to do a document.write('test') to the page and
then use CFDOCUMENT to grab the page via the src attribute. But none of the
dynamic content is ever rendered. Has any one had any success with this?
The only workaround I can think of, and its convoluted and I am not even
sure it would work:
1. Create a Unique ID server side and write a database entry for the
content to fetch
2. Call cfdocument or cfhttp to fetch the page, passing the uniqueID.
3. On the page, include an ajax call back to send back to the server
the documents innerHTML (which should be the dynamic output) along with the
uniqueID
4. The server (polls?) gets the new HTML from the database and uses it
with CFDOCUMENT to create the page.
This is a bit crazy right? There has got to be a better way. And oh yeah,
The output is generated through a lot of JS, so I can't easily reproduce it
on the server and avoid these steps. But, I wish there was some other way..

Just in case someone else has something, let me give a better example of what I'm talking about. I had a problem the other day where I had a client who has a website with years and years of assets stacking up on their server. They had hundreds of SWF files in one folder and a database table linking them to the respective advertisers. Unfortunately due to bad design by the original author, there were no dates associated with the files in the database (UUID PK). The one thing the client did know was that they only wanted to be using their newest size of 138h X 250w. So any files that were not that dimension could be filtered out. SO I needed a way to programatically determine their sizes. One quick google search turned up the perfect solution on Rupesh Kumar's blog, which is what started all of this for me. Now Rupesh is one of the engineers at Adobe, so he has all sorts of inside info, but how would any of us regular programmers know that this package existed decoder = createObject(java, macromedia.swf.TagDecoder).init(fis); // create TagDecoder And how many other amazing little tidbits like this are there still waiting to be found and put to use...

I've converted a cf8-based app into an open source one. Initially it seemed all's well but lately, right when I'm ready to deploy it (not to be hosted like many do), some core functionality like automatically data saving, normal data saving are no longer reliable, let me explain. I have a form for data entry with multiple fields. Function 1: auto save the data elements at an interval, thanks again Sam. This feature does not seem to be consistently reliably on the new platform but this function is less critical. Function 2: manually save the form, this one now is a MAJOR PROBLEM! the form data is saved/updated all right, BUT it deleted 2 or 3 most recent rows of the data table (all with data of required columns)! The query does not delete anything. Would other scripts delete them? No, here's why. Here's the basic structure of this table: id -- title -- content 27 -- 'agri' -- 'one phase of humanity' 28 -- 'indu' -- 'mass production' -- newest entry 29 -- 'new here' -- 'bla bla' -- where id is of identity (1,1) not null Upon clicking on save, rows of id(27 and 28) would be mysteriously gone. I've checked the table does not have any triggers whatsoever, and the machine is totally offline. On some other instances, the newest value and id would replace the second newest one, like upon SAVE, the above would read 27 -- 'agri' -- 'one phase of humanity' -- newest entry 28 -- 'new here' -- 'bla bla' Also, please note there's only ONE user. If it's coding problem, somewhere there's some code like DELETE from theTABLE where Len(title) 0 or something like that but there's absolutely not code across board like that, absolutely not. So, how did they disappear? FYI, I've also provided the open source company a copy of compiled code set (to them it's no different from source code) upon their request in hope of obtaining an flexible installer of their engine, which didn't happen. Also, I don't mind paying 400 or 500 bucks for service of making my app deployable but unlike the online web apps I don't need a full year service... but please do not read too much into this... I'm just laying out facts. Also, I've been using the app for over a year without any of the above mentioned problem. Now, it's extremely unlikely for cf coding issue regarding to this problem, so, who has the motivation and capability to cause this problem? I'm at wits end if any... ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

A quick test on my own server shows that your function works fine.
cfset x =
createobject(webservice,http://www.ecodes.biz/UserVerif.cfc?wsdl;).echoSt
ring(hello World)/
cfoutput#x#/cfoutput
I suspect you have compiled the WSDL and the stub is being cached. You need
to refresh the cache... But as a quick fix just rename your file to
UserVerify.cfc or something and try again :)

RE: Long running ColdFusion process and JVM Garbage collection.
Just remember this should be done as a short term fix.

Does this run Garbage Collection for the whole coldfusion server? This doesn't sound like a good idea but I am going to ask, What would the ramifications be of putting that code in a scheduled task and running it every so often?

RE: Equity
Unless you have an absolutely compelling reason you should not do it. It is a two edge sword and it makes projects hard to walk away from as well. Only one group of folks have made money in a predictable way on the web - consultants (and porn vendors but I'll leave them out as a matter of principle). Everthing else is pretty much a lottery ticket :) Before you go and do this you need to take the time to discover - The financial situation of the company. - Who are the backers and what is their skill set. - Do they have a marketing plan or are they just hoping the web will catch fire and make them the next facebook. - Are they realistic? Most brick and mortar startups plan for 18 to 36 months to reach break even. Most Internet startups have moved toward the internet because it is the largest get-rich-quick culture dish in the world. It has a reputation for being a cheap way of starting a business (which is a terrible reason to choose it). Yet there are thousands of failures for every one success. Check out this post I wrote some months ago. I'm presenting an expanded version at the chamber of commerce here in Omaha in a couple of weeks. http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2009/1/23/Great-Expectations-What-Ma kes-Money-on-the-WEb What most folks need is a reality check. Most startups are populated with folks who are all drinking the coolaid and without a naysayer in the bunch. Having said that I suppose no great ideas would never be birthed without the visionaries (and crackpots) who give it the old college try :) Anyway that's my 2 cents. -Mark Mark A.

RE: css and cfdocument...grrr
This is pretty old but it might be helpful. http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2006/2/16/cfdocument.performance The main thing to realize is that converting HTML to PDF is really a trick - going from a fluid medium to a very staticky and specific medium. Unless your HTML is already pretty lean and minimal you may need a different layout wrapper. Also check to see if your CSS is even making it into cfdocument. Remember that if you use something like: link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=/css/mystylesheet.css media=screen / In your cfdocument, CF has to retrieve that resource to include it into the doc. Under the hood it makes a cfhttp call right? The server has to resolve the domain into the proper IP etc. So a lot of things might have to go right for that to work. -Mark Mark A.

I have a template I'm putting together and it validates xhtml transitional, it uses both @import and link to include the stylesheet (just in case), I use a standard Yahoo supplied reset css file and the resulting html renders identically in Firefox, IE 7 and Chrome. So, several things don't actually render correctly at all in the resulting pdf. Things like background colors bleeding over into other elements, background colors not showing up at all on a div whose only content are other divs, etc. Where are the best places to look for tips on making it behave? And are there good troubleshooting guides for things to pay attention to/avoid? I'm ok with a little black magic but this is getting irritating as there is no obvious place to correct these problems.

RE: Image killing server (RESOLVED)
Adrian, I have an explanation and a resolution for you. The problem is a buffer overrun in the ICC parser (a bit of color correction meta data that ships with the image). To resolve it I upgraded my JVM from 1.6.0_04 to 1.6.0_14 ... But _05 or above would do the trick I think. I'll write a blog on it and give a more thorough explanation - but meanwhile, I found my best clues by looking not for ColdFusion related image issues, but javax.imagaio related image issues.

RE: Dynamic robots.txt
Andy, You could use CF to handle the .txt extension and then write a dyanmic script that figures out what the output should look like - including absolute paths etc. A single robots.txt file could gin up various outputs based on data in a database or parsing through the CGI vars or whatever. The downside is that the CF engine is now going to take a look at all your txt files - so if your site serves a lot of static txt files it's additional overhead to the CF engine. But if you don't server more than the occasional txt file and/or The 404 idea is not going to work because a 404 is a status code error that is thrown (to the browser I think) - which is going to cause indexers to turn away assuming there is not robots file. -Mark Mark A.

RE: (ot) Page Faults
Michael, Page faults occur when the memory manager is asked for a register that is not in PHYSICAL memory (meaning it has been swapped to the disk. The word fault was an unfortunate choice by some original assembly programmer because it makes folks think something is wrong when it may or may not be wrong. When a chunk of memory is called for the memory manage figures out if it exists physically (in RAM) or virtually (pretending it is in RAM but really swapped to the disk). If the memory chunk is actually on the disk, the memory manager says wait just a sec and then goes to the disk to retrieve the info into physical memory before sending it back to the calling process. This wait a sec operation is a page fault. On a very busy server the memory manager might also have to figure out how to swap something else to disk to make room for the memory required by the fault. In general very high page fault rates mean that a good deal of what the system needs is in the pagefile instead of in physical memory. Note, I said page fault rates. The actual number of page faults might be irrelevant, since a 1 time operation calling something from the pagefile can result in a very high number. What is more key is how often the number of page faults increments. If you see constant and steady activity it's possible you are swapping in and out in a steady stream and your disk is thrashing (leading to disk errors and things like corrupt master mdb files :) Typically if you see a high rate you need more memory or you need to fine tune the memory and processes that are running. In the case of JRUN and MSSQL on the same machine (not a great idea but common) - as well as SWOC (the sequelink access driver - you mentioned MS Access), you need to specify what amount of memory is going to jrun, what amount to mssql and then have a reserve for kernel, swoc, and other operations. So for example, on a 2 gig machine, you might set jrun to 756 megs heap (effectively about 900 megs) set mssql to run 512 megs and leave the rest for everything else. Of course, depending on the type of setup you would need to adjust those values - every system is different. Finally, if you run MSSQL on it's own box the best choice is usually to give it its head and let it tune it's own memory usage. But if you run it on a box with JRUN you need to specify a top limit - otherwise it will sometimes overrun the box. It's just a smarty pants and thinks it is always the most important software on the box (and really it should be - on it's own box). Hope this helps. Mark A.

RE: (ot) Page Faults
Michael, It's not strictly true that windows can't address more than 2gb. Windows cannot address more than 2gb of contiguous memory address space. That certainly affects the JVM to be sure because the JVM needs contiguous space to run. But you CAN make use of more than 2GB on a 32gb windows box. For example, you can put 32Gigs on it and run 24 instances of ColdFusion in multi-server mode - each with a contiguous block of memory (see what I mean).

RE: (ot) Page Faults
Sorry... That should have read ...make use of 2GB on a 32bit windows box -Mark -Original Message- From: Mark Kruger [mailto:mkru...@cfwebtools.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2009 12:49 PM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: (ot) Page Faults Michael, It's not strictly true that windows can't address more than 2gb. Windows cannot address more than 2gb of contiguous memory address space. That certainly affects the JVM to be sure because the JVM needs contiguous space to run. But you CAN make use of more than 2GB on a 32gb windows box. For example, you can put 32Gigs on it and run 24 instances of ColdFusion in multi-server mode - each with a contiguous block of memory (see what I mean).

RE: billing
Chad, Speaking from fairly vast experience I would say the following: 1) Agree in advance on the rate. 2) Find a way to communicate these hours are racking up as it happens. The worst thing is to surprise them. You really want to work hard to communicate as the hours are worked so they have all the bad news up front. 3) If you break the rate down based on size or scope then make it based on advanced payment or immediate payment. We offer a reduced rate to customers who buy hours in advance and that has helped both our cash flow and our negotiating position tremendously. Sometimes we also offer a discount to paygo customers for immediate payment. The discount works out to a bit of a break off of our highest rate, but still less of a break than our block hours customers. -Mark Mark A.

Your blog shows why I said to Michael to reformat the drive and reinstall everything when he was attacked. Once you let someone else get access to your server, there is no way you can ever trust it again. It has to be reformatted. 3.
