cf query monitoring
Hi to all. I am looking for a way to monitor how many times non-cached queries hit the database, including the name of the query and performance times. Anyone have a suggestion? I looked at fusion reactor but it is expensive when you have multiple servers. -RR ~| 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:354342 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Fwd: New Security Issue with CF
I looked into this a bit more this morning, and have realized that I may have gotten very lucky. In going through the logs again, I see that there were no POSTs to h.cfm. So the hacker never logged into h.cfm. And I see no GETs with a fuseaction, as described in Charlie's post. I ran the hacker's script again to confirm that logging in shows a POST in my logs. I also tried a some of the non destructive actions he could take, and found that those caused either a POST or GET+fuseaction. I think I dodged a bullet here. -- Forwarded message -- From: Robert Rhodes rrhode...@gmail.com Date: Thu, Jan 3, 2013 at 12:00 AM Subject: Re: New Security Issue with CF To: cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Thanks. I saw that afterwards. I was freaking out a bit there. Still am. :( I have gone through the logs on that server (windows 2008 R2 server running IIS7.5 and CF9.02) and the hacker loaded his script 1 time each on 15 different sites. They all look like this: 2013-01-02 00:15:15 192.168.55.129 GET /CFIDE/h.cfm - 80 - 178.170.124.210 python-requests/0.14.2+CPython/2.7.3+Linux/3.2.0-32-generic 200 0 0 171 But on 3 of the sites, he also loaded: help,cfm, administrator.cfc, mappings.cfm, scheduleedit.cfm, and scheduletasks.cfm but there are no scheduled tasks showing in the administrator. I checked the CF Administrator log and found nothing. Fortunately, he missed the one site (none of his crap shows up in its logs) where there was sensitive information, so assuming he could not traverse directories, I am hoping I am ok there. I ran his file (after renaming it), and none of my datasources showed up (it was an empty select). I am hoping I am good there too. It looks like his script it needs to be driven by a human (a lot of it is a form). So I am hoping that the one hit I see on most of those sites is an automated hit to see if the script is there, then he was going to come around later and do his damage -- and he never did. Wishful thinking right? I don't see any other signs of trouble anywhere, but am very worried that something bad has happened that I have just not stumbled on yet. Any suggestions or advice? Any place else I should be looking? Am I fooling my self to think I got lucky here? I have shut down CF on that server and am now searching all other servers for h.cfm. So far nothing. Tomorrow, I will completely wipe that server and reload it. -RR ~| 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:353742 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: New Security Issue with CF
Oh man I just looked and one of my standby servers got hit with this. Somehow we forgot to patch that one. It had a bunch of sites on it, but none of them were actually live (because it was a standby server). So I have questions. Does anyone know that this thing does? I can just wipe this box and reload it, but it was on the network with our other windows servers (some of which are SQL database servers). Is it possible this hacker could have accessed other other servers through this hack? Do we know the steps yet to clean up the mess? Any idea where to look for damage that the hacker has caused?

Re: r2 server (web edition(Can;t get CF installed on windows
Well it turns out that Andrew and Will hit the nail on the head. There is something wrong with the cf9.0.2 installer. Today, I reloaded the os and used the cf9 installer. Then I ran the cf9.0.1 updater, then I loaded up the administrator and all appeared to be working fine. Next, Ioaded a few sites and ran the web server config tool, and all is working as expected. Weird that the 9.0.2 exe does not work. -RR On Mon, Sep 3, 2012 at 1:23 AM, Andrew Scott andr...@andyscott.id.auwrote: It sounds like they are using the same installer as 9.0, if that is the case then I am also guessing that the same problems exist.

When the 9.0.2 Installer finishes, the administrator loads fine for the final configuration. Once CF is done with its final configuration, I add an IIS site, and drop in a simple coldfusion file. When I run the simple coldfusion file, I get this error: HTTP Error 404.2 - Not Found The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the ISAPI and CGI Restriction list settings on the Web server. I then check ISAPI and CGI Restrictions. There are four entries there (2 asp.net and 2 Macromedia Server extensions) I then try setting Allow unspecifiec CGI and ISAPI modules, but still no luck.

Re: I guess it was bound to happen
Yes, I am using CF for login security. Thanks to all for the suggestions. While I am considering the various suggestions, I renamed the directory and removed the insecure page that had links to the files (the client put this page up with he cms). I then changed all the links on the secure pages to the new directory name. That solves the problem now whileI work out a more permanent solution.

Re: Extracting text from various file-types
Hi Bruce. Thanks for the reply. I did, but no luck. On text files, I got the text just fine. On Word docs, I got the text but with a whole bunch of garbage in the return. On ppt, pdf, and excel docs, they all come out as unreadable garbage. I tried both the read and readbinary actions and they both did not work. Maybe I am doing something wrong? I am using CF9. -RR On Fri, Aug 10, 2012 at 6:11 PM, Bruce Sorge sor...@gmail.com wrote: Check out the CFFILE tag. That offers this type of functionality.

Re: Trouble setting up CF Builder
After wasting an entire day trying to figure out how to get CFB2 to work correctly with my development web server on the local network, I got tired of beating my head against the wall and gave up. So I loaded CF10 on my development machine and CFB controls the server just fine, and RDS communication works fine too. It's a shame that this can't work with a local server on a private network. But here's a question: How do I get the files from the project directory into the local webroot? (I am running IIS7, btw). I do not see any mechanism to Put or Publish the files to the web root. I am sure it's something staring me in the face and I am just not seeing it.

The only parts of a system that have to be PCI compliant are the ones that handle credit card information, usually an online store or subscription system. There is no technical reason I can think of that would require your billing system and video streaming servers to share infrastructure. Separating the billing system out on to its own infrastructure means the rest of the system goes out of scope and then you can do whatever you want with your cookies on the main part of the site.

I just put back the jrun setting to pass cookies securely, and am sending the jsessionid securely again. And I am set up to use the database for client storage. It's still losing the session when I switch between http and https. I do have setclientcookies to no, because that sets cfid and cftoken insecurely which is what caused the PCI test failure.

If you want to set the secure attribute on session cookies delivered over SSL, but also have it use the same cookie values over non-ssl - then that defeats the purpose of adding the secure attribute. If you want to do that you can't use the secure attribute on the cookies. The secure attribute says only send this cookie over SSL, so when you make a request to a non-ssl url the browser will not send the cookie, this causes ColdFusion to issue a new session. The best solution is to run all on SSL as Cameron suggested, here's a good read on the performance of SSL and TLS: http://www.imperialviolet.org/2010/06/25/overclocking-ssl.html the main point being that SSL is not as computationally expensive as you may think.

If you are using JSessionIDs (not cfid/cftoken) you'll be just setting that cookie but I would expect it to work in that case as well.

If jsessionids are enabled, CF appears to set that cookie, no matter what. I know of no way to prevent that from happening. And yes, even those the site being loaded by https, the jsessionid cookie is still being set insecurely. As I said before, this should be easier than it is.

Re: CFScript Book
Hi Cameron. I know CF very well. I been coding in it for many years. But, I admit, I am a little tagged out. Cfscript feels more elegant, and as I learn more and more javascript, it seems a natural time to try to get completely up to speed on cfscript. I do wish Adobe would fill out CF so that one could write mostly in cfscript and avoid cf tags altogether, if desired. It would also help when I end up around small-minded coders who scoff at CF merely because of the tags. Yes, I have answers for those types, like how I can produce the same apps they can, but in 1/3 the time, or how Adobe puts a lot of development into the language, which gets us big upgrades every few years -- or how we can get a live body on the phone when we need one. But still, I really want to be a cfscripter, and I am looking for a path to make that happen. There must be at least a few chapters in some book out there somewhere, no? Pete, thank you very much for the cheat sheet. That will come in handy. -RR On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 12:25 PM, Cameron Childress camer...@gmail.comwrote: On Mon, Feb 20, 2012 at 10:48 AM, Robert Rhodes rrhode...@gmail.com wrote: Are there any CFScript books out there?

The CFML language has so many tags and many ways of doing things. Learning only CFScript may not serve you well. Attempting to use all tags or all script is probably not the best goal IMHO. Having said that, the Adobe docs are a good starting point for learning CFScript, but if you want more than that I'd look at a regular ole CF Book like CFWACK, and then look for a CFScript equivalent for what you're doing if you really need/want one. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress -- p: 678.637.5072 im: cameroncf facebook http://www.facebook.com/cameroncf | twitterhttp://twitter.com/cameronc | google+ https://profiles.google.com/u/0/117829379451708140985 ~| 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:349983 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Looking for a shared host that doesn't block cfobject
Good Morning. I am looking for a shared host that doesn't block CreateObject(Java). Any ideas? Also, what's the risk on this? And is there any way to mitigate that risk?

Re: Looking for a shared host that doesn't block cfobject
Russ, thanks for the reply. Does proper sandboxing and cf9 alleviate the risks enough to be reasonably safe? If not, what are the risks?

I'm afraid it is a toss up, you go with a host that disables all the dangerous tags and work around it, safe in the knowledge that no-one else on the server can do anything dodgy either, or you go with a host that allows dangerous tags and take the risk. Any host should at least be using security sandboxes to lock down any takes that allow I/O access, if they have just turned them on and have not sand boxed, then they are extremely insecure and you should avoid them. -- Russ Michaels www.cfmxhosting.co.uk: ColdFusion Hosting www.cfmldeveloper.com: ColdFusion developer community + free developer hosting www.michaels.me.uk : my blog www.cfsearch.com : ColdFusion search engine ** *skype me* : russmichaels ~| 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:346756 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
missing args in jvm
Hi to all.
I notice that the jvms on a couple of my cf9.01 installs dont include these
args that the others do:
-Djava.security.policy={application.home}/../lib/coldfusion.policy
-Djava.security.auth.policy={application.home}/../lib/neo_jaas.policy
What are these for, and why would they be missing form a couple of the
installs?
Maybe I did the 9.01 patch incorrectly on those two boxes? It is a bit of a
pain in the ass

Re: Debugging SOAP
I wanted to circle back and thank everyone who helped me on this thread. I did as Nathan described below, and it was immediately clear that the cfinvoke posts were not going out. After some painful troubleshooting and using a lot of very bad words, I figured out why. When using cfinvoke, you must pass ALL arguments specified in the wsdl -- even though they are not required by the service. I swear, I looked at the cf9 docs a bunch of times and never saw that! The good news is that you can pass unneeded arguments with omit=yes so you don't have to set their values. But how crazy is that? You are required to pass all arguments just so you can tell cfinvoke to omit them! In the end it all worked out, but what a pain in the arse!

CFIDE weirdness in iis7
I am still grumpy about how 9.01 does not install nicely with IIS7 withouth first installing the IIS compatibility tools. But not I am having a new weirdness. I usually do not set virtual directories pointing to cfide and cfdocs. I get at the administrator on an admin site that is only available via vpn.

Oh yeah, I know. But if you set the connector to all sites, and you add a new site, they all go down until you remove the connector and reapply it. And even when you set the connector on a site by site basis (which is a pain), if you change the site's root directory (like when you are deploying a new version), cf stops working for that site and you have remove its connector and reapply it again. Another pain. I have chosen to go with the second approach, becuase at least it doesn;t take down all sites. I really don't want to install iis6 compatibility just to use Coldfusion.

Nathan, thanks for the reply. I don't need to monitor between my computer and the application server. I need to monitor between the application server and a remote server across the web that hosts the web service.

(The default is but you can find this info in Charles under Proxy Settings...) Run your application and watch the traffic. If you are making SSL requests you will need to to configure Charles.

Andrew, thanks. That is exactly what I was experiencinging. I am quite surprised that this problem has not been sorted out by Adobe. I really like CF, but this seems a bit lame. I briefly tried installing the connector on individual sites, but it didn't seem to work (was still getting 404.3 errors).

Re: Ack! CF9 pages not serving pages on IIS7.5 (404.3 error)
Hello Russ. How would I do it manually? Are there instructions somewhere? It sure feels like that's the problem (connectors not being installed at the root level). There just has to be a decent workaround for this problem.

Re: Ack! CF9 pages not serving pages on IIS7.5 (404.3 error)
Hey Kym. So are you saying that you don't have to remove and reinstall the connector every time you add a site (or change a directory)? What's the down-side of running with the ii6 extensions installed? If there is not a big performance hit, it might make sense to do so.

(ot) Couple of quick IIS 7 questions
Sorry for the off-topic questions, but everyone here is so helpful, and if you saw my posts, you know that I am under the gun. 1) How do I remove Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5 from the response headers? 2) Have any of you ever user IIS7 caching for a CF site? I am assuming it will be applicable only for images, but this site has a lot of them. Which mode do I use? Kernel-mode or User-mode? Thanks for all your help.

Re: Ack! CF9 pages not serving pages on IIS7.5 (404.3 error)
Well that kinda helps, but only for a time. After I run the web service configuration tool and select ALL for IIS Web Site, and check configure web server for Coldfusion 9 applications, CF will process pages fine... but only until I change the webroot of an existing site or add anther site. Then, all sites stop serving and give that 404.3 error until I remove the CF web config and reinstall it.Then things work fine until the next time I change a directory or add a site, when it will die again. This certainly was not the case in IIS6. Anyone have any suggestions on how to set up CF9 with IIS7.5 so that is does not exhibit this crazy behavior? I can't take every site down each time I make a change in IIS.

If you have a server monitor of some form you can then balance as needed. -- Yours, Kym Kovan mbcomms.net.au ~| 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:344391 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Help! Too much tracffic and too little time!
I installed Win2K8 on one of the servers last night, and discovered there is actually 6GB of memory in them. I had forgotten that I had to install the RAM sticks in threes on these servers. Just sitting there idling, it's got 340mb cached, 5451mb available, and 5133mb free.

With that in mind... can I up my jvm settings a bit? In a prod environment the OS will run about 1GB mem usage and 2K8 has this extra mem allocation caching trick which is really useful on hard working machines but you cannot allow much for that with only 4GB RAM. I'd say set the JVM for 2.5GB and 512 Perm and see how it flows (Look at mem usage in the Resource Monitor which you find in the Task Manager, if there is just a tad of Really Free Mem then you are fine.) -- Yours, Kym Kovan mbcomms.net.au ~| 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:344347 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Help! Too much tracffic and too little time!
Thanks. I'll look into that. Being a Windows guy, I am not sure how well Squid and I would get along. :) On Sat, May 7, 2011 at 3:23 PM, Cameron Childress camer...@gmail.comwrote: In addition to other comments, it might be worth spending a minute reading up on Squid: http://www.squid-cache.org/ Caching some or all of the site could mean you can do the entire thing with just 2 CF machines. In my experience, the bottleneck for Squid is not the OS or Squid itself, but the capacity of the network cards in the machine. It can handle ALOT of traffic. The learning curve required to implement this may or may not be within your time window. -Cameron On Fri, May 6, 2011 at 9:57 PM, Rob Rhodes rrhode...@gmail.com wrote: Hello. I have been a lurker on this board for a while, and never thought I was qualified enough to offer opinions. Well, that has not changed. But now I could really use some advice on how to gear up quickly to handle a ton of traffic on a cf9 site. I can't really go into the details, but I have just inherited a cf9/SQL server site that gets well over a million page views per day. It was previously running on multiple servers using shared array. It's an impossible task, but I have to have this up and running this weekend. So, I don't have any time or money for complex solutions. I just need to this all to stay up long enough to figure out a proper plan. Until then, here is my working plan. Please tell me what you think. I have 4 cf9 standard licences, and four servers running win2k3 x86 (fairly fast processors and 4gb ram each). I have a fifth win2k3 server x64 running SQL Server 2005. These servetrs are recent installs and do not have any other sites on them. My plan is to load the site on all four servers, all pointing to the same database server (it appears much of the queries in the site are cached) I would then set up round-robin DNS to do the poor-mans load distribution. Most importantly I am hoping some of the gurus here might have some jvm tuning suggestions to help handle the load. Ok let me have it. Is there any hope, or am I just hopelessly screwed? ~| 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:344338 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
