Setting Server Variables
Almost all of my applications are running on multiple machines and i would like to use server variables to save things like IP addresses and server names that can be used for CFHTTP requests or error reporting. These variables would basically be static and would almost always have the same value for that particular server. For example, WebServer1 will most likely always be named WebServer1, so Server.serverName will never change values on WebServer1. I would like to avoid adding code to every app that always checks to see if the server variables are set. I would prefer to set the server variables after ColdFusion restarts. Any ideas? ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Look forward to upgrading to ColdFusion 9 in the next year that will (if it does not go away) a Server.cfc file with an OnServerStart() method for just such a purpose. Until, then you have to do something a bit more hokey with your OnApplciaitonStart() method or something with other mechanisms available on your server or something manual. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Loosing session when setting server variables
Hi, I have an application which sets some server variables, enclosed in a lock on server scope: CFLOCK TIMEOUT=2 THROWONTIMEOUT=No TYPE=EXCLUSIVE SCOPE=SERVER Since I added this code, apparently, many times, sessions variables are lost in any application and admin users have to relogin. What I am missing? I get this both under CF 5 and CF 7. Should I also lock when I just read the variables ? -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: Setting Server Variables
I don't think this is privided by CF. But what you could do is add the server var declarations to a master Application.cfc and have all the other Apps extend this one. Just a thought.

Setting Server Variables
How do I set server variables in CFMX 6.1? I want them to load everytime the instance starts.. - Alex [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Setting Server Variables
You can't. The only thing close to being able to do that would be ensuring that ALL code on your box loads a file (via Application.cfm for example) and then doing, cfif not isDefined(server.foo) cfset server.foo = 1 /cfif The ability to run code on server start (as well as application, session, client) is a MUCH requested featured. Maybe CFMX200X will have it. :) [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
