Re: Ruby Gems

Hi Dave, All we want to use Ruby for is to compile SASS into CSS for use with 
Zurb Foundation pages used on our Coldfusion websites. Can this be done using 
the same IIS? If not, what is the problem that occurs? Thanks.

CF8 and Solr

2014-07-28 Thread Richard Steele

We're going to move to CF10 later this year but would like to improve our CF8 
Verity search engine. Specifically, we've not been successful in using 
suggestions based on other spellings of words in Verity. For example if someone 
types in Steven Smith but it's really Stephen Smith, no results are returned. 
Suggestions are more often than not relevant. There are also a whole of slew of 
other problems. 

Are people happy the Solr integration in CF10? Would it require a significant 
amount of time to switch to Solr if we want to use with CF8? What are the 
caveats? Thanks!

Slow running request

2013-07-17 Thread Richard Steele

We occasionally have a slow running request for no apparent reason. We have 
Fusion-Reactor and can see that there is no heavy traffic on the server. The 
same query run at a different time, runs just fine. The SQL db queries (as 
shown by F-R) are running very fast. I/O is also fine at the time this happens 
as can be seen in the performance monitor. 

How should we go about finding out the cause of these slow running requests? 
Thanks!
Rick

Throttling Bot Traffic

We're caching parts of some key pages, but unfortunately some of the data has 
to be live. When the bots start hitting us, our CF8 server can't keep up and we

Is there an easy way to throttle url page requests? Perhaps throw up a note say 
that the server is busy, please retry in a bit. Thanks!

Re: CF8 Instance hogs cpu

2012-10-02 Thread Richard Steele

Are you logging long-running requests?
How do we log these?

Any requests hanging?
All requests start to hang at 97% cpu usage.

Can you correlate the memory/cpu spike with site traffic or spiders?
We think it may be spider related.

Like Wil said, it's probably the code in a certain request / page that's 
using more memory/cycles than it needs to.
Our code has been in place for years.

You may need something like FusionReactor to see what's causing issues.
We have F-R but can't get to it when this occurs as the 97% cpu usage freezes 
everthing. 

Is there a way to limit cpu usage for a particular instance?

Thanks.

Re: CF8 Instance hogs cpu

2012-10-02 Thread Richard Steele

 Perhaps code is the issue. Perhaps a custom tag is the issue. Details 
 are needed before anyone can give any sort of reasonable answer. 

It's always on the same instance of a multi-instance, load-balanced cf8 server.

 How much traffic is the site getting? requests/second?
We get about 6,000 visitors a day. Not sure about the request/second.

 What is the code processing?
Same code that's been in place for many years.

 What is the code accessing?
SQL Server 2005

 Is the database responding properly?
Yes

Can we isolate / limit cpu usage for this instance? 
Thanks.

Re: CF8 Instance hogs cpu

2012-10-02 Thread Richard Steele

look at the request activity graph and activity logs to see what was
running at the time the issue occurred.
Again, F-R can't be viewed during this time as 97% cpu hog prevents anything 
from working. 

Have you setup crash protection to kill long running requests?
We had set this up before, but did not have good results. More often than not, 
it wouldn't crash the request, and would just keep it in limbo.

Bizarre Behavior

2012-03-10 Thread Richard Steele

We offer a template-based, self-administered solution for hosting websites and 
have a CF8 Enterprise server with two load-balanced. Yesterday, for the first 
time in 6 years of offering hosting services, we had a bizarre user login 
problem event. A user logged into to administer their hosted site using their 
normal credentials and another user's administration came up!! I then tried 
logging into their administrative backend and the same thing happened to me. I 
then logged out and tried yet another user's credentials and that worked fine, 
but when I logged out of their administrative backend I was taken to that other 
user's site's administration (the one that was the wrong one in the first 
example) instead of to the hosting site's home page. 

I thought we might have been hacked, but no login files' date times had 
changed. The application.cfm had not changed either. 

I restarted both instances of CF server and all is back to normal. 

I'm completely baffeled and concerned. What in the world could cause this that 
a CF service restart would fix?
Thanks in advance.

Detecting changes in db in order to delete cached pages

2011-12-30 Thread Richard Steele

We host websites using a content management system we developed in CF8 and 
would like to detect whenever a user changes anything in their website 
template. If changed, code would run that would delete their cached pages. 

Changes are recorded in a SQL Server db. There are 12 different tables that are 
used. 

Here's what we've come up with. 
1. Insert a date time stamp when a change is made, and then query each table to 
see if there are any changes.
2. Delete the cached pages any time there is an insert or update. (there are a 
ton of these).

Is there a simpler way to detect the change in order to fire the deletion of 
the cached pages? 

Thanks in advance.

imageGeEXIFMetaData

2011-10-07 Thread Richard Steele

We can't get imageGeEXIFMetaData (or its counterpart imageGeIPTCMetaData) to 
work properly in CF8. 

ImageGeEXIFMetaData does return jpg metadata if the file is NOT Saved for Web 
in Photoshop CS4. 

However, if the file is Saved for Web, no metadata is returned, even if 
METADATA is set to ALL in the Save for Web dialog box. The same Saved for 
Web jpg clearly has the meta data included as http://regex.info/exif.cgi shows 
it all.

This is CF8 with all updates applied including the hotfix that solved some 
cfimage problems.

Any ideas as to what is going on here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in 
advance. Richard

CFImage Woes

2011-10-05 Thread Richard Steele

We've been getting these Missing Huffman code table entry error on write 
calls with cfimage for certain jpgs:

javax.imageio.IIOException: Missing Huffman code table entry at 
com.sun.imageio.plugins.jpeg.JPEGImageWriter.writeImage(Native Method) at 
com.sun.imageio.plugins.jpeg.JPEGImageWriter.writeOnThread(JPEGImageWriter.java:1034)
 at com.sun.imageio.plugins.jpeg.JPEGImageWriter.write(JPEGImageWriter.java:339)

Found a lot of noise about this from 2008 (see 
http://forums.adobe.com/message/848767), but it seems the root cause of those 
issues was solved by a hotfix.  We're running CF8 cumulative update 4, so we 
should be in the clear there.  The worst part is that on these occasions they 
seem to be writing corrupt (empty?) jpg files which then choke the system down 
the line.

Has anybody had experience with this issue?  We're hoping to fix it directly 
rather than rewrite our cfimage routines to use java I/O.

Re: CF8 Instances hanging every 3-4 days or so.

2011-09-23 Thread Richard Steele

Ok for all of those following this thread, we resolved our hanging instance 
problem! 

It was an Efflare imageCR3 service (an image tag alternative to cfimage), that 
was getting hung. As a result, it caused any pages that called the tag to hang. 
Restarting that service solved the problem. 

Why it hangs, I have no idea, but we are now restarting that service every 4 
hours (it takes 5 secs). We will retire that tag at some point, but for now 
hopefully the restart will keep it fresh and prevent the hangups. 

That makes total sense as to why we had to reboot the server to prevent the 
instances from hanging (restarting the two instances didn't help, nor 
restarting IIS). Made sense that all other domain instances were working well 
as they don't relay on the tag. Had we known that the Efflare tag was the 
culprit, we could have prevented all those server reboots. Thanks for 
everyone's help. I learned a lot!

Re: CF8 Instances hanging every 3-4 days or so.

2011-09-22 Thread Richard Steele

Yes, we use Fusion Reactor and can view the vitals including which threads are 
hung (essentially all threads). Other vitals don't point to anything suspect. 
However today, we had a different problem. Only one instance hung and it was a 
CPU problem. The entire server memory was being used by the one instance. 
Restarting the instance DID solve the problem, unlike the issue last night, 
where rebooting did not help. We had to restart the server. 

Today we made sure that all CFC and functions had properly scoped vars (they 
didn't before). Several of these cfcs were called each time a page loaded 
(often!). So we're keeping our fingers crossed that this was the problem. 
(Thanks Justin, we used varscoper to find them). 

Still would love to be able to clear those network sockets without rebooting 
the server after these events.

Re: CF8 Instances hanging every 3-4 days or so.

2011-09-22 Thread Richard Steele

Thanks for the info. Java Garbage Collection seems to be working fine as 
always. Rebooting the services doesn't free the network sockets and it 
continues to be a problem until the server is rebooted. 

 
 1. Use Java Garbage Collection
 Modify the JVM.CONFIG file and and append the following line to code 
 to force GC every 10 minutes.
 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=60 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.
 gcInterval=60 
 
 2. Use Jrun Monitor
 This is a DotNet application developed by me to handle such situations. 
 You can find more information on this at http://ketanjetty.
 com/coldfusion/monitor/jrun-monitor/
 
 One of the reasons why this happens is discussed at http://ketanjetty.
 com/coldfusion/useful-code/avoid-coldfusion-hang. Should you need more 
 information, please let me know. I am interested in knowing the cause 
 for your server hangs.
 
 Thanks,

CF8 Instances hanging every 3-4 days or so.

2011-09-21 Thread Richard Steele

We're starting to get CF8 Enterprise hung instances every 3=4 days or so at 
different times. For no apparent reason, requests don't complete on two load 
balanced instances. Restarting both instances does not help. The instances 
become hung again very quickly. Restarting IIS for these instances does not 
help either. Our other instances for different domains are not affected so I 
don't think the SQL Server db is locked. 

Once we reboot the server, all is well. Perhaps the rebooting clears the 
network sockets for those instances? I'm out of my experience range here, so 
not sure what is going on.

At first I thought we were being hammered by out of control spiders, but 
tonight's log analysis doesn't show spider activity during during the time the 
instances hang.

1. Can we clear the network sockets without rebooting the server so that we 
don't take down the hundreds of websites we host on other instances for the 5 
minutes while the server reboots?
2. What's the best way to troubleshoot this? The IIS logs for these two 
instances do not shed any light. CF Server logs don't either. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Rick

CFImage and sRGB Profiles

2011-08-22 Thread Richard Steele

Does the CF8 CFImage tag support ICC sRGB color profiles or does it strip the 
profile out.  If it doesn't support it, wouldn't it be crazy for an Adobe 
product not to support the web sRGB standard? 

Thanks in advance.

Re: Can't Delete Sessions Programmatically

2011-08-18 Thread Richard Steele

Well I tried J2EE sessions and we are getting the occasional but unacceptable 
Session is Invalid error even after changing the web.xml of each instance to 
be longer than the session timeout in the application.cfc. It seems that there 
may be numerous causes of Session is Invalid in CF8 from improper patching to 
legitimate CF bugs. Now I'm thinking about going back to NOT using J2EE. At 
least CFID and CFToken duplications were just a few in a thousand. Is there any 
problem apart from people losing their sessions, resulting from turning off 
J2EE sessions?

Have you tried enabling J2EE sessions? Is this CF9?
This is CF8 with the most recent service pack. 

How easy is it to switch to J2EE sessions? Is there additionally programming

Can't Delete Sessions Programmatically

2011-08-15 Thread Richard Steele

There are duplicate CFIDES and CFTOKENs session variables when a person uses 
IE8 browser. Other browsers seem fine. We can't figure out why duplicates are 
being included. So, we are trying to delete those session variables with no 
luck.

cfcookie name=CFID expires=now /
cfcookie name=CFTOKEN expires=now /

and we've tried javascript too...
            var createCookie = function(name,value,days) {
                    if (days) {
                        var date = new Date();
                        date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
                        var expires = ; expires=+date.toGMTString();
                    }
                    else var expires = ;
                    document.cookie = name+=+value+expires+; path=/;
                };
                
                var eraseCookie = function(name) {
                    createCookie(name,,-1);
                };
                
                eraseCookie(CFID);
                eraseCookie(CFTOKEN);
            
                eraseCookie(CFID);
                eraseCookie(CFTOKEN);
            
                eraseCookie(CFID);
                eraseCookie(CFTOKEN);

Still no luck. Here's the dump from her computer:

HTTP_COOKIE  
CFID=20896392; CFTOKEN=37979387; 
__utma=89202778.639364946.1307983780..1313258701.1313434308.26; 
__utmz=89202778.1307983780.1.1.utmcsr=(direct)|utmccn=(direct)|utmcmd=(none); 
__HTTP_COOKIE=BAR; LB-Persist=539953674.20480.; CFID=19834341; 
CFTOKEN=65045225; __HTTPS_COOKIE=FAR

User can't log in as they have two session cookies.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Can't Delete Sessions Programmatically

2011-08-15 Thread Richard Steele

Our application works fine in all other browsers tested by over a 1000 users. 
One should never be able to plant identical session cookie variables for the 
same domain (we confirmed they were the same domain). And if you could, you 
surely should be able to delete them.  The user that has this problem switched 
to Google Chrome and all is well. But our application is dead in the water for 
her on IE because of the duplication of session ids that cannot be deleted 
(she's using Windows 7 and now IE upgraded to version 9). 

Who could we report this possible bug to at Adobe?  
Thanks in advance.

Sessions failing due to multiple CFID / CFTOKEN cookies

2011-08-10 Thread Richard Steele

We're encountering the following issue with some percentage of IE users 
(Definitely but not necessarily limited to IE8 8.0.7601.17514  windows 7).  
Basically their SESSION is failing the same way it might if they're cookies 
were disabled, however, we are able to set cookies manually using CFCOOKIE.  
After running several tests, we found that the users request headers include 2 
CFID and CFTOKEN cookies.  It seems like Coldfusion writes both into the COOKIE 
scope, then can't translate them into the SESSION so creates a new (third) CFID 
and CFTOKEN pair, then overwrites the value of both in the COOKIE scope.

CGI.HTTP_COOKIES
--
CFID=19602005; CFTOKEN=13461642; (other cookies removed); CFID=20907643; 
CFTOKEN=42056124; (other cookies removed);


COOKIES
--
struct
CFID20907644
CFID20907644
CFTOKEN 22098534
CFTOKEN 22098534


SESSION
--
struct
cfid20907644
cftoken 22098534
sessionid   APPNAME_20907644_22098534

Anybody know what could be going on here? Thanks in advance!

ColdFusion 10 and beyond

2011-08-09 Thread Richard Steele

I'm concerned that at some point Adobe will pull the plug on CF as free PHP 
continues to grow its user base. I know that there is an open source version of 
CF, but I'm not sure if it has Enterprise features such as the ability to 
create load balanced multiple instances. What's the general feeling about this? 
Should I be concerned?  Is there any work being done on ColdFusion 10?

 Try logging in as the user that runs CF, and running the screen

Re: CF8 Enterprise Instance Size

2011-07-05 Thread Richard Steele

Hi Russ, It's 64 bit windows. Load balancing is between instances (only one 
physical server). It's a Xeon L5410 Process which I believe is 4 cores. Each 
instance has CF8 Admin set for a max of 10 requests. We definitely want to add 
another pair of instances for a new website we are finishing up. Currently we 
have one pair of instances reporting low memory availability (used memory 
reports around 460mb used (allocated 500mb) in Fusion Reactor Enterprise 
dashboard). 

So to recap, there is currently 8 gb of memory on the server. We have two pairs 
of instances for two different websites each with around 500mb of memory 
allocated. We want to add a third pair for a new website under development. One 
of the two pairs almost always reports memory close to being exhausted. On the 
other pair we occasionally have a hosted website go viral and the instances 
hang as they can't handle all of the requests. 

Right now, we can only afford to add memory (not clustered servers). What would 
be your recommendation to do?

Handling Multiple Requests

How do I handle the following situation? 

User clicks a link to a CF page. The page is, for whatever reason, slow to 
respond. User becomes impatient and clicks the same link x number of times in 
secession hoping to get a response from the server. Now there are x multiple 
requests that are slow running. This acerbates the problem as the server has 
now queued up to run the same slow requests multiple times.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Handling Multiple Requests

2011-06-28 Thread Richard Steele

We have thousands of links on our website, so I don't think we can do that. Is 
there not some sort of system level way to discard multiple identical clicks 
from an individual's IP address?

Re: Handling Multiple Requests

2011-06-28 Thread Richard Steele

 Can't think of a way to globally disable multiple clicks.  Do you use 
 
 jQuery on your site at all?  Do you use Application.cfc or 
 Application.cfm?  If Application.cfc, adding the link disabler or 
 status 
 dialog could be done by modifying your onRequest() method to insert 
 some 
 script tags into the head of each requested page.

Re: Handling Multiple Requests

Hmmm... do you have an example of the code to include? I'm worried that it 
would mess with other javascript that we use and in particular our 
sophisticated light box application where users click forward and back buttons 
on images to call the next and previous images, etc.

Yes, for sure in an ideal world. However even though we have CF Enterprise, 
we can only have two instances for this particular site due to hardware and 
budget constraints. When traffic increases due to some link to the site going 
viral (which is unusual), it would be impossible for the server to keep up with 
the requests even if the requests were all processed under a second. Then 
requests would build up in the queue awaiting processing. People then get 
impatient and start clicking the link over and over, further exacerbating the 
problem.

 A site? A single site?

 no) scoping choices, poor SQL (both query execution plans and general 
 
 server health), and an improperly tuned JVM. Most of the time, for me, 
 
 it appears to be the DB. Either the queries are terribly written, 
 there 
 aren't any indexes on tables, or both (and more).
 
 Have your tried FusionReactor yet? FR can be a great resource for

Re: Handling Multiple Requests

2011-06-28 Thread Richard Steele

Yes, it's a hugely complex site with 170k page views a day. We pull some of the 
data we show from Amazon's services further slowing it down (much of which 
can't be cached according to their terms of service). Yes, I agree, getting rid 
of any slow running queries is the most important thing to do and we do have 
some work to do in that realm. But 95% of the time the site works just fine. So 
it's a lot of programming time to make that 96% of the time or greater. We do 
have FusionReactor and it is extremely helpful. But it can't tell us the IP 
addresses hitting the site if we have a bot crawling through 10k dynamically 
produced links or if some other website is hammering the instances. We see the 
load balancer IP address instead. Thus we need to go into the server logs and 
analyze what is happening.

Real head Scratcher

2011-04-19 Thread Richard Steele

Ok, I have a page that loads most of the time. However, occasionally it gives 
an error:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Value can not be converted to requested 
type. 

In verbose debugging the query that fails should be no problem whatsoever and 
in fact in runs fine in SQL but only 70% of the time when the page is 
refreshed. 

We are on CF8 Enterprise with two instances. 

What could be happening? 

Here's the verbose error message:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Value can not be converted to requested type.

CFexecute and licenses

2011-04-05 Thread Richard Steele

Ok, we have a program that we are running using cfexecute. It requires the 
license for that program to be placed in the folder that holds the program that 
calls it. Right now, the program doesn't run since cfexecute is the calling 
program. In this case, thus I assume I'll need to place the program's license 
file somewhere in a coldfusion folder.  So, where do I put it? CFIDE? Jrun? 
Thanks in advance.

 You could call cmd.exe and pass this program as an argument to it,
 then put the license in your system folder.

Re: CFexecute and licenses

The program is a batch screen capture program. Got the cfexecute to work by 
putting the license in the jrun folder. So that worked!  But now it fails to 
load the flash plug-in that accompanies IE 8. It works like a charm if run by 
clicking on a batch file that resides in the folder that has the exe.

How to get it to capture a flash website is my next challenge. Any insight to 
that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That's totally it. Apple Chrome, Safari and Firefox show  RÈpublique when I

Re: Accessing Specific CF8 Instances

2011-02-07 Thread Richard Steele

How do you get the session ids for each instance? What would the url look like 
that targeted a specific instance? Many thanks.

Re: Accessing Specific CF8 Instances

2011-02-07 Thread Richard Steele

Well, I'm wondering if I can access the instance using an external, website 
address. Our developers don't necessarily have access to logging into the 
server. 

So, I'm hoping we could do something like this.

http://www.website.com/index.cfm?CFID=x where x is the id of an instance.

Exporting query data

2011-02-02 Thread Richard Steele

Is there an easy way to export SQL query data into a tab delimited or CSV 
format? I know I can do this with a loop and variables, but it seems like there 
should be an easier way. (my query has 100+ column names!). Thanks in advance.

Hosting Multiple CF websites on EC2 Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7

2011-01-13 Thread Richard Steele

Has anyone been successful in setting up multiple CF websites with separate 
domains on an amazon EC2 windows server 2008 machine? I can add multiple 
websites in IIS but since there is only one elastic IP address from Amazon, I'm 
not sure how to route the traffic from each domain to their respective IIS home 
directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CF8 Administrator's Debugging Options

2011-01-04 Thread Richard Steele

I don't understand how the Debugging options with a specific IP Address works. 

If I check the Enable Robust Exception information on a production server (we 
have no development server) and include only a specific IP Address, our website 
still shows the Robust Exception information to ALL visitors to the website. 
Obviously this is not acceptable.

If the Enable Robust Exception information is disabled and Enable Request 
Debugging Output is enabled, what information is then shown only to that 
specific IP address? 

Is there a way to show the Robust Exception information to only the developer's 
IP address without having a development server? 

Thanks in advance.

Template Page Not Found Errors

Our error handler captures information about a page not found. 

For example, it logs the following:
Referrer: 
Query String: id=3273MoreImages=1
Browser/version: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; YandexBot/3.0; 
+http://yandex.com/bots)

How can I tell the actual page that was requested?

Amazon EC2 Windows 2008 Coldfusion Server

2011-01-04 Thread Richard Steele

Hi, Does anyone have experience (good or bad) with setting up an Amazon EC2 
Windows 2008 Server? We had a Gogrid Server that just disappeared one day. 
Gogrid had no clue as to why it happened, nor were they willing to 
troubleshoot. 

Thanks in advance.

Re: Amazon EC2 Windows 2008 Coldfusion Server

2011-01-04 Thread Richard Steele

Did you find a tutorial on how to set up a Windows 2008 server? There's one 
online for a non-windows server, but I haven't found one for a Windows 2008 
server.  

Also, I know that Amazon has different levels of guarantee for their s3 
storage, but it seems like having it backed up to a different location would be 
wise. Is that easy to accomplish? 

Thanks!

Ok, great. I've got my Windows Server Instance up and running! Now I'm 
downloading the CF8 Developer's Edition. 

Can I install both CF8 and CF9 Developer's Edition? Our current production 
server is CF8, but would like to test our code in CF9 before upgrading.

application.cfm question

2010-12-31 Thread Richard Steele

I'm testing some error checking stuff and don't understand why the 
application.cfm doesn't abort before an error is found in a file. 

Here's the application.cfm
cfabort

Here's the index.cfm 
cftest

When the index.cfm is run, it shows the error information (Unknown tag: 
cftest). I would think that application.cfm would fire first and not even get 
to index.cfm. 

What am I'm missing here? Thanks in advance.
