9.01 updater - the nightmare relived
Hi List, I recall back when I installed 9.01 - its basically like playing russian roullette with your server with the possible outcome being that you have to reinstall your entire ColdFusion setup. Its this error (and some of its variants) that start occuring on every CFM file: The tag handler application does not have a setter for the attribute datasource specified in the Tag Library Descriptor. Does anyone have the final solution/fix for this? Why hasn't adobe fixed this god awful patch? I have a live site down any suggestions are appreciated.

Re: 9.01 updater - the nightmare relived
FYI, if you are on windows, before updating CF, just take a copy of the ColdFusion installation folder and the CFIDE. If things go tits up, just shut down services and restore the folders, you don't usually need to re-install CF from scratch. I don't use Linux, but I suspect the same is true. -- Russ Michaels www.bluethunderinternet.com : Business hosting services solutions www.cfmldeveloper.com: ColdFusion developer community 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:343275 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: 9.01 updater - the nightmare relived
Thanks, I actually stopped everything (cf,iis) then just restored a copy of the coldfusion directory pre-update and it re-started everything.

No, this is not really the case. You don't need to reinstall your entire CF setup. Its this error (and some of its variants) that start occuring on every CFM file: The tag handler application does not have a setter for the attribute datasource specified in the Tag Library Descriptor. Did you clear your cfclasses cache after installing the update? You really should do that any time you install an update.

Re: 9.01 updater - the nightmare relived
Why doesn't the updater do that then? I've never heard of that before. I guess I must be living under a rock because I've upgraded many, many servers starting from coldfusion 6 up through 9.01 and NEVER had to clear any class-cache - nor I have heard this mentioned by anyone as a solution for this problem. If this patch introduces a new requirement of clearing the class cache, it should be mentioned in the docs or the patch should do it automatically. Just saying thats a piss-poor patch.

Re: 9.01 updater - the nightmare relived
the cfclasses folder can cause a whole host of issues. I rarely remember it though myself. remember that all those files in there are compiled already with the previous version of CF, and when CF starts it loads them all into memory. If you have A LOT of files then this can cause CF to takes ages to start. If there is anything in those files that has changed with the new update, then they need to be re-compiled to pickup those changes, or they may simply not run properly or may cause errors. deleting everything in the cfclasses folder will cause all those files to be re-compiled. I am actually experimenting with having the saving of class files disabled, as the only benefit really is that they get loaded to memory at startup and thus do not need to be compiled again. The result is very slow startup sometimes. By disabling this setting it just means each files has to be compiled once the first time it runs, then it is in memory just the same. I personally think the latter is more beneficial. On Fri, Mar 25, 2011 at 5:49 PM, Dan Baughman dan.baugh...@gmail.comwrote: Why doesn't the updater do that then? I've never heard of that before.

In many (most?) cases, I'd recommend not storing compiled classes to disk anyway.

Re: 9.01 updater - the nightmare relived
Yea trusted cache?? and the setting int he cf admin that says something about storing class between restarts... I dont employ either setting - not the culprit here..
