Re: Embedding CF in CMS Content
when you need to put dynamic content then you should never allow CODE, instead use macros e.g. [include:filename] you then parse the content before displaying to process the macros. read this article for more info: http://www.michaels.me.uk/post.cfm/content-management-processing-dynamic-content -- *Russ Michaels* Blog: www.michaels.me.uk *skype*: russmichaels *My other sites/projects* www.bluethunder.co : SME hosting solutions www.cfmldeveloper.com: ColdFusion/Railo developer hosting www.cfsearch.com : ColdFusion search engine www.cflive.net : Live CFML console/testing tool ~| 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:360467 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

you also have to take your disk iops into consideration.

Re: Enable Request Debugging Output not working
by default IIS will display a 500 server error if it gets back a CF error page as it doesn't know what to do with it as it doesn't send a valid error code that matches any IIS errors. In order to see the REAL cf error you have to turn on detailed error messages in IIS, or you have to create a custom error page to display instead of the 500 server error.

Re: considering two options for changing hosting
the common reasons PHP becomes slow is an overloaded server, if the disk IO is not fast then PHP suffers. This does not affect CF in the same way because cf templates get cached in memory by default. To determine whether one host is going to be any better than another, the question you need to ask them is how many sites they put on each server, what type of disks they use, etc. We do not overload our servers for example, so as to not have so many issues caused by too many sites or other customers with badly written sites. We have also moved all our shared hosting servers to SSD now to get max performance, and it really does make a difference.

Re: Decrypting MD5
no it certainly is not useless. The whole point in hashing a value is so that it cannot be decrypted, typically this is used for passwords. Imagine a hacker gets into your web app, which is extremely common, then all your encrypted data is useless, because he has access to your code and can decrypt it all at leisure. This is how all your personal data gets stolen or your identity. You signed up on some website that had poor security, the hackers got in and got their database, decrypted all the data, and got all your personal details including username/password.They will then typically take the username/password you used on this site and try it on other sites as well, so anywhere else you used the same login is now also compromised. Most decent websites these days will hash sensitive data so that it cannot be decrypted and stolen. Any code you do have which decrypts data, should be protected from prying eyes, in the case of CF you could compile the CFML to a java class and only upload that to the server, don;t think there is anything much better than that for CF sadly. Or with PHP you would use somehting like Ioncube. On Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 12:59 PM, Rick Sanders r...@webenergy.ca wrote: So basically MD5 is useless if you can't decrypt the value! That sucks.

MD5 is a hashing algorithm, not an encryption algorithm. It lets you take a plaintext value and generates a hashed value, which cannot be decrypted. These online tools don't decrypt MD5 hashes. Instead, they have large databases of plaintext values and their corresponding MD5 hashes.

Re: Decrypting MD5
Brute forcing MD5 hashes is really only going to work if you are still using weak passwords to begin with and just hashing them. This then works in exactly the same way as a brute force dictionary attack on a plain password, except they try the hashed version of the same password. You should always allow strong passwords and pass phrases, sadly so many sites still do not do this. On Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 2:43 PM, Byron Mann byronos...@gmail.com wrote: Just for reference. Here's a pretty good article on how to hash properly. https://crackstation.net/hashing-security.htm Hashing is often done incorrectly, even if it's being salted you never want to use the same salt across the board. Simple thing is, compute power is so available, brute forcing MD5 hashes is fairly easy these days. I wouldn't even recommend using MD5 for anything secure like a hash of a password.

Re: Iif() Evaluation Weirdness
Well if you want to try it out then try using nested evaluate(de(''))
You can also achieve same using nested quotes like de('stuff') to avoid
evaluation,
But it just gets messy imho
Iif() has its uses for simple inline evaluations, such as select lists or
dynamic style classes but beyond that I think it just makes for better code
not to do it inline.

Using application variables, an application could, for example, initialize itself when the first user accesses any page of that application. This information can then remain available indefinitely, thereby avoiding the overhead of repeated initialization. Because the data stored in application variables is available to all pages of an application, and remains available until a specific period of inactivity passes or the ColdFusion server shuts down, application variables are convenient for application-global, persistent data. However, because all clients running an application see the same set of application variables, these variables are not appropriate for client-specific or session-specific information.

No, there are no additional licensing fees to any components included in CF Server. One point in response to Russ: if you properly secure your server, there really isn't a problem with relying on the CFIDE folder. Of course, it's not easy to properly secure your server, and if that's the case for you, you should certainly follow Russ' advice. He's also correct about the bundled version being out of date.

Re: Chat app (using CF websockets) has stopped working after upgrading to CF11
when you upgraded CF, are you sure the CFIDE got upgraded as well. If you have it in a non standard place then this would not have happened. during installation it would have verified the path it was using. are you using the default one at cfinstall\ cfusion\wwwroot\cfide, if not then try using this one instead, or taking a copy of it and overwriting your external copy. you should also view source on your webpage and check the path to the javascript files, and make sure you can actually access the file (copy and paste path to browser or click the link). If it cannot find the file, then there is your issue. On Wed, Jan 7, 2015 at 1:20 PM, Parul Bali parul.sarasw...@gmail.com wrote: No worries Russ.

Re: Moving to Railo
it makes no difference to smarterstats, reading one big log is not harder than reading 185 separate logs. Logs will get processed faster in fact. However running separate sites would makes things better from a web server/performance and bottleneck perspective as you have less traffic going through same connector. In the case of IIS, you should put each site on its own dedicated application pool as well to spread the load and reduce the potential bottleneck. this helps with Railo as well as the boncode connector uses asp.net If all your images are for the same app and are thus the same on every site, then you should consider using a CDN as well.

are you use a FQDN for the mail server? if so, try using the IP address instead and see if that helps. Might be some weird dns caching issue.

Re: postParametersLimit in CF11
well you can put it in perspective, the default asp.net setting is 5000, which is obviously a lot higher than CF's 100 you are probably going to be safe putting it up higher, but you should tell your client to make sure they have something in place to stop that form being abused and DOS'ed On Fri, Dec 12, 2014 at 4:11 PM, Chris 0404tow...@gmail.com wrote: Nathan, Russ, thanks for the comments.

Re: CF 11 Admin Panel
the lockdown guide is not perfect and in my experience just following the guide exactly does cause problems, so you do need to really know what you are doing on the server with permissions to cover the bits it doesn't tell you. I do not follow it myself, I have my own process, so I cannot tell you exactly where it fails. The best bet would be to test CF after each step and see which one is buggering it up for you. The bare minimum bits you MUST do is 1. run CF under a separate user account which only has access to the folders that CF needs access to. So CF itself, the folder where the websites are store, OS temp folders, the temp folder of the user under which CF is now running (windows only requires this I think) 2. make sure the internal cf web server is not enabled 3. lock down the cfadmin so that it is not publicly accessible from any website. Personally I do this by using IP address restrictions so the entire default website where cfadmin resides is only accessible via localhost and via our secure VPN. 4. make a copy of the CFIDE with only the files that your site requires and use this for the Vdir. Ideally you should avoid using any CF features that require the CFIDE anyway, as they all pretty much suck and you will not find many in the community who wont say the same. So this is any of the UI tags, flash forms, CFFORM tags etc, there are better alternatives. Avoiding the CFIDE will also most likely make your site Railo compatible too. 5.

FR is indeed meant to run on a production server, and I was not saying otherwise. But you can also install it on dev to help you with the debugging and load testing as well. I think you are incorrectly assuming that FusionReactor is a debugging and load testing tool, which is not the case.

Re: Work Around for SSLv3 Vulnerability?
if you are on a shared server then it would be an issue for others who are using SOLR, which would then require the host to roll back to 1.6, which would then cause your problem again. Judging by the fact that you said you had to convince them to do this, I assume it is a shared server, otherwise you would have been free to do it yourself had it been your own server. Thus why I am suggesting you check this rather than just dismiss it because it doesn't affect you, as when on a shared server you have to consider everyone.

A big determining factor is what carrier are the folks on that you would be sending to? I ask because if only one carrier you can go low cost and failry easy. If multiple carriers, you may want to consider using an SMS aggregator as they know how to connect and send SMS messages through all the various carrier networks (for a fee per text message - those fees vary wildly depending on the various APIs you have to choose from). I use Clickatel for SMS aggregation services in the state of Maryland and I think we are talking pennies per text (you load account with credits and they get consumed - can notify as you get low etc). Once you have the carrier details sorted, then it's HOW you send (there is an SMS gateway in CF, but you can also just call APIs with say Clickatel using their HTTP API (one of 3-5 they offer).

Re: Is time for a change?
you are using 2 EOL products there which are no longer supported or updated, CF7 and SQL 2000 Windows Server 2003 is EOL in about 7 months, so you will not get any updates for that either beyond that date. If you are hosting this off your ADSL, then that presumably means no firewall other than the one on the ADSL router. I'm sorry to inform you that that your server is most definitely vulnerable, it took me just a few seconds to find your ColdFusion admin, and just a few more minutes to hack it. Go look in your ColdFusion data sources and you will see a a new data source I just created with a message for you. Hopefully this will prove a point and show you that you have been lucky until now. I am not a hacker, so if I can do it this easily, imagine what a real hacker would do. It is sheer luck that you didn't get hacked already, which is because it hosts only 3 small low traffic clients, so no hacker has come across it so far. You will be lucky to find any host offering such old EOL software, and anyone who is still offering that will be putting all the risk and onus on you regarding security as they would not be able to support such a setup. I very much doubt you have anything on those old sites that wont run on Railo though, in fact it will more likely run on Railo than it will on CF10/11 Your SQL 2000 databases will work fine on SQL Server 2008 or 2012 express edition which is free. So the only real cost to you is the VPS itself, which you should get with Windows server 2012, which will also be free from many hosts On Tue, Nov 11, 2014 at 3:28 PM, Jenny Gavin-Wear jenn...@fasttrackonline.co.uk wrote: I'd be interested to know which route you decide to take.

Is the current www4 a Linux or Windows machine? I would suggest
handling those at the web server level, with a 303 status code to let the
search engines know the redirect is temporary, rather than through the
application - with the exception of perhaps some dynamic redirects that
need to be changed on-the-fly. Much more efficiently handled at the web
server level.
Linux redirect to ww4 example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.esu\.edu [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)
http://ww4.esu.edu$1 [L,R=307]
Windows IIS web.config redirect example:
rule name=Redirect www2www4 temp stopProcessing=true
match url=^(.*)$ ignoreCase=false /

add input={HTTP_HOST} pattern=^(.*\.)www\.esu\.edu$

Subject: Re: Redirects
Is the current www4 a Linux or Windows machine? I would suggest
handling those at the web server level, with a 303 status code to let the
search engines know the redirect is temporary, rather than through the
application - with the exception of perhaps some dynamic redirects that
need to be changed on-the-fly. Much more efficiently handled at the web
server level.
Linux redirect to ww4 example:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.esu\.edu [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)
http://ww4.esu.edu$1 [L,R=307]
Windows IIS web.config redirect example:
rule name=Redirect www2www4 temp stopProcessing=true
match url=^(.*)$ ignoreCase=false /
conditions logicalGrouping=MatchAll
add input={HTTP_HOST} pattern=^(.*\.)www\.esu\.edu$
ignoreCase=true negate=true /
/conditions
action type=Redirect url=http://ww4.esu.edu/{R:1};
redirectType=Temporary / /rule

Re: IIS 8.5 truncating file download
I would check the response headers for any hints, you may be getting a mismatch with the expected content length. Also, take a look at this setting in IIS and see if disabling it helps: http://screencast.com/t/H03SiWuabri If so, then you may just need to tweak the value.

Re: Is time for a change?
Ideally you need 1 VPs for each service, web db and mail, plus you would need a smartermail license, unless hostek are a bundle provider in which case you can get a free 250 user license with the VPS. Running a mail server is way more work than people realise though, it is not just keeping it running, it is deal with spam, spoofing, back scatter, black listing, spf and domain key issues and more. One alternative is to use zohomail which is free for basic service. At the end of the day shared hosting is like going to the $1 store in comparison, so you get what you pay for.

Right now I am paying Hostek about $130/m for just the basic CF hosting for the 25 domains not counting the adons and database cost.

Could not agree more with Russ' comments on CF hosting in his blog. I'll never go back to shared hosting. I've got a couple of Viviotech VPS' that I'm pretty happy with. One runs my personal stuff and old web site from when I was a developer. Another runs about 30 low-traffic sites that work with my business. A VPS is a great step up if you aren't ready to take the plunge and pay for a full-on server. Insofar as full-on servers are concerned, nothing can match the hardware that you get at Cybercon, but then again you are also expected to pretty much be self-sufficient, there.
