Re: Enable Request Debugging Output not working
My own personal, and albeit completely anecdotal, experience bears out what Russ has written. By default you get the crappy 500 error, which the first time I encountered it kept me running in circles for a while because I didn't think it was coming from CF. Hopefully the OP is at least being entertained if not helped.

Re: considering two options for changing hosting
I use Newtek and they are pretty good. However I've tried to run CF and Wordpress on the same Windows server with Newtek and Wordpress was super slow.

Re: trying to shorten long string
I think the point is that he's trying to truncate the text in a meaningful way, such as at the end of a sentence. One way around 4.5 houses is to only use a period as a delimiter if it is followed by at least one space and an uppercase letter. It's not perfect of course, but it would eliminate more edge cases of your truncation not working as intended.

The next version was CF Studio, which was basically Homesite with RDS functionality and CF-specific code generators and wizards. But after a while, the product was renamed Homesite+, and still had the RDS functionality and CF-specific stuff.

Re: Advise in optimizing an application
Do you have indexes on ml_email and groups_id columns? I would likely create an index that has both in it. There's a couple of suggestions about changing your architecture a bit: First, from the looks of it I think you could probably combine both these queries into one with a left join vw_mailLIST and then evaluate the outcome to determine if you delete the item from your array. As long as the items joined on are PKs or have an index it should be faster than running two individual queries. Without knowing the actual table structure or data I can't be sure but off-hand I'd think the following would be much quicker. (Note that since I can't test there may need to be some tweaking.) SELECT mlu.groups_id as mlu_gid, mlu.dateRESUB, vw.groups_ID as vw_gid FROM maillist_unsubscribe mlu LEFT JOIN vw_mailLIST vw ON mlu.groups_id = vw.groups_id WHERE mlu.ml_email = vw.ml_email ANDmlu.ml_email = cfqueryparam value=#mailREC[i][1]# cfsqltype= CF_SQL_VARCHAR ANDmlu.groups_id = cfqueryparam value=#req.thisGROUPID# cfsqltype= CF_SQL_INTEGER / You can then evaluate if dateRESUB is NULL, if mlu_gid and/or vw_gid are null or if there's recordCount at all to determine whether you remove the item from the the array. You can also have your if statement about the dupFILTER there as well. This puts everything into a single loop with 50% less queries. Second, I would consider doing things a bit differently and instead of looping over your array with individual queries it should be much faster if you run a single query and then loop over the query result to determine if you update the array. So create a comma separated list of email addy's from your mailREC array and use it in an IN statement on mlu.ml_email. IN statements aren't super efficient, but if you have an index on ml_email it should still be much faster than 15,000 individual queries. Then loop over the result set and use ArrayFind to see if the result is in the array and if it is, delete it. The result set should only contain the results you're looking to delete if I'm understanding your queries correctly. This approach would be WAY faster and much more scalable since looping over 15,000 or even 100,000 results in memory is way quicker than making that many database queries. Hopefully you find this useful. Without having your database to query against it can be a bit tough to determine if the code I wrote works. I do think the architecture logic in approach two is worth the time to refactor though. Have a great day.

Basically, it works pretty well, as long as there's a limited number of records being imported. Was testing last night with the 15,000 record Excel sheet. If I comment out the two filter queries in the code, it will read in the sheet and a cfdump of the array shows everything was imported properly. Didn't time it, but it only took a few minutes. Adding those two queries back in and trying to import the entire sheet - the server choked and I had to call support to reboot it. Whoops. It's the two filter queries below that are slowing the whole thing down and choking the server. The one optimization I can think of is the look for duplicates query. Instead of running that against the entire database looking for matches (several hundred thousand records last time I checked), I should do a query of queries and run the loop ONLY against records for that one group, which I'd prefetch before starting the loop. That should help a lot. Working on that now... One thought I had - I don't care how long the import of a large sheet takes. It just can't choke the server.

Work Around for SSLv3 Vulnerability?
I have a legacy app on CF9 (originally CF7) which uses CFHTTP to make a secure connection to Chase Paymentech's Orbital payment gateway. I have the SSL's installed into the Java keystore like I'm supposed to and for about 7 years this app has been working as expected. Fast forward to a few days ago and my host disabled SSLv3, as the world has been instructed to do to thwart the POODLE vulnerability. The moment they did that my app no longer can process transactions. I get the classic COM.Allaire.ColdFusion.HTTPFailure type error with the message Connection Failure: Status code unavailable. This isn't the typical message of when you don't have the cert installed where it says peer could not be authenticated. According to tech support it's only with CF that disabling SSLv3 stops communication. Apparently others don't have this issue. Does anyone know of a work around? I'm not sure if CF9 is the problem or CF as a whole. Would upgrading to CF10 help? I'm in a real bind here as the client hasn't been able to process ecommerce transactions for a few days now. Any help is appreciated.

Cartweaver code
I was shown an example of a firstdata implementation that was outsourced to India and a few things grabbed my attention right away. The first was that the hmac.cfc template that they sent was an exact copy of the code by Tim McCarthy sans comments. The second was that the firstdata processing template was named cw-auth-firstdata.cfm. That pattern matches the templates used by Cartweaver for their processing code. The last version of Cartweaver that I have in my archives is 2.0 so I was hoping that someone with Cartweaver 4.0 could look at the auth templates that it is using and see if the following code snippet is copied/modified from it: cfsilent !--setting you need to chnage those value-- cfset settings.GatewayID = gatewayid cfset settings.KeyID = keyid cfset settings.hmackey = Hmack cfset settings.GatewayPass = password cfset settings.authurl = ' https://api.demo.globalgatewaye4.firstdata.com/transaction/v12' !--setting-- !--senthil-- cfset expDate = tdata.cardexpm Right(tdata.cardexpy, 2) cfset contentType = application/json; charset=UTF- cfset FDuri = /transaction/v12 CFSET jsonReq = '{gateway_id:#settings.GatewayID#, transaction_type:00, cardholder_name:#tdata.cardname#, cc_number:#tdata.cardnumber#, amount:#tdata.paymentamount#, password:#settings.GatewayPass#, cc_expiry:#expDate#, reference_no:#tdata.orderid#}' Nothing urgent or super important. I just want to see how far the outsourced code had been copied from other places without attribution.

Re: how to check if a remote file exists
As Russ mentions, *if* you have access to the file from the CF server (which you would need in order for the 'FileExists' function to work), then you could use a cffile action=copy.. to get a copy of the file. If you don't have direct access to it, then you need to figure out how you can access it. If you can get to it via http, then use a cfhttp tag. If you can get to it via FTP use a cfftp tag. You may need to alter your method for determining if the file exists though. If you need to use HTTP or FTP, then you can always try to get the file and if you get an error, handle it appropriately (ex. the file isn't there, etc).

Then when your aggregation app runs, it just has to worry about content on your server.

I was just curious if anyone had tried it. I'm using dmarcian.com and though their reports are nice, there are several aspects that are lacking. I'm thinking of building an app for myself that could email me human reports on a per-domain basis... 1. Receive the email 2. Grab the attached zip file and explode 3. Open the contained XML file 4. Convert the XML file to a structure 5. Loop through and DB any fails 6. Email a fail report showing record if there are any fails ... or something like that.

Re: Site hanging randomly.
Is the server responsive when CF hangs? Or is it a bit slow/unresponsive as well? I had some serious crash issues with CF9 64 bit a few years back and switched over to railo after trying to debug it for weeks without result. Make sure to check the windows logs if there are any weird events before CF hangs. My problem was mainly with JVM GC not doing its work properly and eventually kill CF.

That does sounds like a possible cause. Do you have long running code with multiple queries or some sort of heavy reporting query of some sort? Network interruptions? Latency? Do you always have the CF monitor running? If so, try to turn off all the monitoring as that was buggy in CF9 if I remember correctly (JVM killer). Just naming a few options to think of. Good luck. 2014-03-14 2:19 GMT+01:00 .jonah jonah@creori.com: coldfusion-out says a couple things like: * A non-SQL error occurred while requesting a connection from DB Name. * Timed out trying to establish connection * 3/13 16:19:21 Information [jrpp-2087] - HTTP request completed {Status Code=503 ,Time taken=84723 ms} Before it stops responding.

CF, SmarterMail, and DKIM
Hey all, I am using SmarterMail to deliver my email from CF. However, emails that are generated don't seem to have the DKIM signing attached. I notice that they do if I send an email from my email program (Eudora), which connects directly to SmarterMail when sending. Currently, I have the Spool mail messages for delivery checkbox checked, as sometimes there are thousands of emails generated and I don't want the page to wait. Is this possibly why the DKIM signing is being bypassed? Anyone else bump into this problem?

COM object problem on fresh CF 9 server
Hi, I've just set up a new server running CF 9.0.2 standard. I'm getting the following error message when trying to instantiate a COM object: - An exception occurred when instantiating a COM object. The cause of this exception was that: java.lang.RuntimeException: Can not use native code: Initialisation failed. I've registered the DLLs Coldfusion is unable to access using regsvr32, and Windows reported that it was able to register all these DLLs without problems. When I googled that error message, I found this post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1019324, but, my server is 32-bit Windows 2003 Server R2, with SP1. The JVM is 1.7.0.51, and Coldfusion is 9.02 Standard edition. So, this isn't a 32-bit/64-bit incompatibility issue, which makes it more of a mystery (for me, anyway). I built this server according to the best practices outlined in the Coldfusion 9 Lockdown guide, and I'm wondering whether it's having trouble instantiating the COM objects because the cfusion user doesn't have the proper permissions needed to do so. The sites are being served up from a directory under a secondary drive (f:), but I've tried moving one of the sites to C:\InetPub\wwwroot to see if it would correct the problem, but it did not. Any help on this would be appreciated.

RE: COM object problem on fresh CF 9 server
I found the solution to this problem. The CF 9.0.2 install on this new server failed to write the java.library.path correctly in the jvm.config. It was written like this: java.library.path={application.home}/../lib I had to change that to this: java.library.path={application.home}/../lib,{application.home}/../jintegra/bin,{application.home}/../jintegra/bin/international,{application.home}/../lib/oosdk/classes/win I discovered that this was the problem when I looked in the exception log file, which had this entry: Error,jrpp-5,02/22/14,22:15:40,wizard,no ntvinv in java.library.path Why CF 9.0.2 didn't write the java.library.path correct is beyond me; but hopefully this will help someone else out it they encounter the same problem.

RE: Need help with decryption from C#
Thanks Paul, I hadn't considered diving into Java to construct the IVector, but that seems like a good approach, and produces a valid ByteArray.

Re: Good jvm ram settings for 64 bit ColdFusion
In summary - More address space at the expense of longer addresses. No 4 gig memory cap but each gig is 'worth' slightly less. On Tue, Sep 3, 2013 at 9:08 AM, Mark A Kruger mkru...@cfwebtools.comwrote: Michael, This is out of my head so forgive me if I am off on a factual point or two - but you will get the gist of it. In 32 bit addressing each memory address takes up 4 bytes (4 x 8 bits) but a 64 bit address space is wider (as in 8 x 8 bits). So for example, if you store an integer - say 14 - on a 32 bit system, it will take 4 bytes to do it ( 1110). Of course you might think h... it could actually store that in a single byte - but being that draconian with storage would only slow the computer down. It needs lots of address spaces of uniform size. Think of a post office with dozens of P.O. Boxes - little cubbies where mail is placed. It would not make sense for them to resize each box for the volume of mail. They just accept the fact that some boxes have 1 letter and others may have 12 or 13. In a 64bit address space however the address spaces are wider (by another 32 bits). So that 14 is going to look like 1110 internally. The advantage of 64bit is NOT in speed of addressability. They are generally faster because they are new gen systems with faster FSB, shorter electron paths, better L2/3 caches etc. The advantage is in total addressability. The 32 bit system is limited to 2 to the 32nd power (4.2 billion add addresses) whereas 64 bit systems have 2 to the 64th power addresses. The width means exponentially more addresses available as PO boxes for bits of things that need storing. When I say exponential I mean something like 16 exabytes of possible addressable space. So the good news is that a 64 bit system can utilize an unlimited amount of memory (unlimited in any practical sense at this point in our computer evolution). The bad news is, it takes more room to store equivalent data. -Mark Mark Kruger - CFG CF Webtools www.cfwebtools.com www.coldfusionmuse.com O: 402.932.3318 E: mkru...@cfwebtools.com Skype: markakruger -Original Message- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:mdino...@houseoffusion.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2013 7:19 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Good jvm ram settings for 64 bit ColdFusion Mark, To start, the assignment of 6 gig to maxheap and 2 gig to maxperm is working perfectly.

Further if your server has 8GB of ram, and you are setting 6GB max heap and 2GB max perm size then you are not leaving any room for the OS to operate when things get full. I thought that the perm size was a subset of the heap. From what you say above, the perm is in addition to the heap. I'm going to run some calculations to get a good idea of what the permsize should be for the app and readjust. The perm size does not usually change much once the application is fully loaded and all possible logic routes have executed at least once (unless you have some sort of dynamic cfml generating going on) so you should be able to see how much you are actually using at runtime by running this code: http://www.petefreitag.com/item/821.cfm -- Pete Freitag - Adobe Community Professional http://foundeo.com/ - ColdFusion Consulting Products http://hackmycf.com - Is your ColdFusion Server Secure? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubESB87vl5U - FuseGuard your CFML in 10 minutes ~| 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:356701 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

The older help viewer gave more than just standard docs and I used it while using builder.

RE: Adobe no longer supports ColdFusion??? Really?
2: I have to disagree with the assertion that CF Builder missing from CC downloads means anything ominous. ColdFusion is not a CC service, so it makes no sense to include CF Builder. Now, if you want to discuss the pros and cons of including CF as a CC service, that'll be a great discussion to have. But CF Builder without CF itself is kinda useless. --- Ben There are something like 23 apps included with the Creative Cloud subscription, and it seems like Adobe is adding more all the time. I use three of these on a semi-regular basis (DW, Flash Pro, and Photoshop), and have no use for most of the others; but they're there for me if I need them. Is the dividing line between the Creative Cloud and everything else the fact that none of those programs rely on a server-side programming language? If so, that seems pretty arbitrary, since everything a web developer does depends on a server-side *something*. Nothing we do in DW really 'works' without a web server (at a minimum). Plus, if Adobe wants to keep developers using CF, what's the downside in including CFBuilder as part of the subscription? If DW CC drops support for Coldfusion, but keeps it for PHP (and I'm assuming it does), isn't that just undercutting Adobe's own position? I happen to like CFBuilder, and use the free version on a regular basis, but a colleague (and a very talented CF Developer) prefers DW, even though I've tried to convince her to use CFBuilder. Up 'til now, DW has worked for her, as it has for many other CF developers. Why cut those people off by forcing them to either a) Pony up $299 for a product they don't particularly like, b) look elsewhere (like Sublime or Brackets, as Ray suggested), or c) Hand-code without the benefit of a modern IDE. Plus, if you get enough people to download CFBuilder out of sheer curiosity and then fall in love with CF, it can only help the community (and Adobe). So, why not include CFBuilder as part of the Creative Cloud suite? -Michael -Original Message- From: Patti, Michael [mailto:mpa...@sherwood-group.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 2:07 PM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Adobe no longer supports ColdFusion???

Issue with accessing session vars from CFCs after upgrading to CF 10
Having a weird issue since upgrading from CF 901 to 10. I'm calling CFC files over HTTP (using Ext/Sencha) and it seems when I do, I lose the session scope alltogether. The CFCs are set to allow remote access and were all working just fine before the upgrade. I know the session scope is there, because if I run a standard CFM on the server, all is well and I can dump the session, and work with session vars. I'm pulling my hair out and was wondering if anyone has any ideas. Here are the install stats: CF 10 Enterprise running on Linux, web server is iPlanet/Oracle version 7.0.17, and we are clustering.

eclipse 422 with cfeclipse vs coldfusion builder express
I'm still weighing everything for a move to the 64 bit version of eclipse on a clients remote box. I can go with eclipse 4.2.2 running cfeclipse or eclipse 3.7.2 running cfbuilder express (the free version). From what I know, there is little difference between cfeclipse and cfbuilder express which means the only real difference would be in the version of eclipse I'd using.

Large amounts of CF email
Hey all, Ok, so I'm all set on the question of SPF etc. Here's another one. I am taking on a client who has an existing CF application. It's one of those 30%-off coupon things. They have a dedicated server right now that holds CF/SQL/SmarterMail all on one box. They send out a little over 100,000 emails a month. My existing setup is two cloud-based servers at Enterhost: CF/DNS on one, and SQL/SmarterMail/DNS on the other. I do not want to add the extra email burden to my system. I already send out about 50,000 emails a month from about 170 websites, not including the POP personal / business emails of 75 of those clients. The current concept is for me to get another server specifically for their email delivery, and to move their app to my CF machine and their database to my SQL machine. With the extra email-only server I get SmarterMail, though I'm not sure that's the best tool for delivering large amounts of email from CF. I saw that Russ Michaels mentioned sendgrid.net in a post a couple days ago about CFMAIL dropping some emails. This client knows that their needs are going to grow beyond the 300,000 ($200/mo) limit in a short amount of time, and so that will turn into an expensive solution eventually. So, if I stick with the new cloud server just for this one client's email delivery... am I setting this up right? 1. Their app on my CF server with hard-coded SERVER (see 3. below) in all CFMAIL tags 2. Their DB on my SQL server 3. Their own SM server (see 1. above) Is there a better email delivery option from CF, and if so how would you integrate the two onto the on box so the customer can also get their own email at their domain? I'm curious for my own needs as well. Is there a better way to set up the boxes? I know this sounds like fundamental stuff, but I'd love any opinions people may want to volunteer (including what are you crazy?!).

(ot) Strict SPF
Hey all, I'm considering enforcing SPF / DMARC standards on my mail server, knowing that this will block not only most spam, but also some valid emails to my customers. Has anyone here done the same thing? If so, what are your thoughts. Did it create a ton of follow-up work for you with clients screaming that they're not getting emails, or was there a parade held in your honor? Would spam disappear overnight if everyone did the same thing? I know I also have a little work to do to make sure all my SPF records are correct, knowing that many customers cannot connect to my SMTP through their ISP (ie; some Comcast customers), and thus their outgoing emails would fail the SPF test. I sense a customer poll coming on...

ColdFusion Builder standalone vs. plugin
Is there any real operational differences between the two different implementations of CF Builder? Is there some feature in one but not the other? And to take the question a step further, if someone is running a non-licensed version of builder, will they find more features missing from one implementation of builder or the other? In the past I installed builder as a plugin and almost none of the CF features would work. It's was an older version so I'm hoping that it is no longer the case (I probably messed up anyway).

Memory Leak in CF10?
I posted this to the Adobe forums as well. Totally perplexed. I moved all my code from a Win2003S/CF8 box to a Win2008S/CF10 box and now am having issues where CF loads blank pages after a few hours of uptime. I'm noticing that the coldfusion.exe service starts around 500mb of memory, and slowly moves up to about 780mb of memory. As it tops 700mb it begins loading blank pages which can be reloaded for intended content. Once it hit 770mb it loads ONLY blank pages, and the service can no longer be restarted. It must be killed by Task Manager. This was never a problem before on CF8. I have searched far and wide for a solution, but found only this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7788280/memory-leak-when-redeploying-application-in-tomcat I'm not sure what code is causing the memory balloon, or even where to look for clues. None of the logs have anything in them other than the occasional missing file due to a bad offsite link, and plenty of query timed out errors due to CF Server crashing. I'm now restarting CF every two hours. Completely flummoxed at this point. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Source control in CF
Man oh man, seems like I've managed to dive headfirst into a bit of a hornets' nest here :) I think many valid and interesting points have been raised in this thread. While I will say, that I am still not a believer, I am certainly going to have a bit of a rethink about my position on some of the issues raised by you guys. At all places where I have worked (all smallish companies), there have been dedicated people to do server setups and maintenance and there has also always been restrictions on what developers could install on their machine themselves. (I don't know if this is a particular Danish or European way to do things - seems that things might be a bit different in the US) Believe or not, in the about 10 year timespan I am referring to above, there has be no catastrophes as a result of peoples work being overwritten. This does NOT mean, that I would advocate a shared resources (as I have already stated previously) - given a free choice between developing on shared resources and developing locally, I am quite sure I would tend towards the latter. As for the points raised about how much a developer (junior or senior) should know about setting what type of servers up, I am clearly of a different opinion than some of the other participants. While I can certainly see validity in some of the points made, I also tend to think, that some of these differences come down to religion or belief, while others come from me being used to one type of setup and others being used to another. While I have only very limited CF experience in working with a setup where everyone develops locally, I have done quite a bit of this in C#. Having worked with both types, I would contend that they each have their benefits and drawbacks. I think that this thread has reached a point of terminal velocity and that I have taken away from what I can on these issues. I will therefore bow out of this thread by saying, that I am very appreciative about the large volume of input and that I am even more appreciative about how you guys have made me reevaluate my position on some things. I love when people can shake up things a bit, and I will most definitely take some of the things that have been discussed in this thread to heart.

Re: Source control in CF
Good tips about developers being able to run software under other licensing rules - I did not think that one through fully I can see now. I personally disagree, respectfully of course, with the people who say, that developers should be able to maintain CF and web server, as well as set up 3rd party components etc. To me, that is like saying that any developer should be able to set up a database server, know how DNS functions etc. While I would agree, that knowing some of these things could be beneficial for a developer from time to time, I feel that developers should be specialists who focus solely on developing - not on server maintenance. I don't know if this might be a cultural difference (in terms of how things are done) - me being Danish personally - but in all places I've worked the last 10 years, the IT department has done most of the configuration and maintenance of developer machines. Not that there is necessarily anything wrong with developers setting things up themselves, but I understand (from the company's perspective) how it can be beneficial to have these things centralized. Following the previous inputs in this thread, I went digging in my old emails and it turns out (I had completely forgotten about this) that we did indeed talk about switching over from shared resources, to each developer running their own complete setup. The plans were eventually dropped, as it was deemed too expensive (in terms of lost productivity) and adding an additional layer of complexity in terms of maintenance. This was back in 2007 and perhaps it is time to revisit this once more. You guys' passionate arguments for this approach has certainly given me some food for thought and I will take this up with my colleagues in the near future. ~| 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:354233 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Source control in CF
@Andrew Most developers should know how to install ColdFusion, it is dead simple to begin with, maintaining it well that is another story. If your premise is that we are talking about developers who are running a setup where each person has a local CF server on his/her machine, then I would agree that it might very well be beneficial for developers to be able to diagnose and fix issues with their own server, without having to wait for the IT department. Lost productivity is worse when all developers share and code off the same server, whether you want to believe that or not. But like you said it was 5-6 years ago, so a revisit might be a good thing. If you are talking from personal experience, having run both types of setups in parallel (either at the same time or at least under as similar conditions as possible, in terms of time, tasks, complexity etc) - then this is indeed valuable insight. However, if I went to my CEO with such a broad and general claim, he would immediately demand that I back it up with hard evidence - which I would have a terrible time doing. Without concrete evidence, I don't know how I would lobby in favor of the company spending the time and money, in changing our current setup. With that being said, if I was to setup up development from scratch tomorrow and I could choose either of the two setups (the current setup was already firmly in place when I joined the company in 2005) - I would probably also favor the setup where each developer runs his/her own server and can develop locally. ~| 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:354236 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Source control in CF
Michael, I've noticed you, and others, have mentioned server maintenance. To be clear, I think there is a -far- difference between someone who is an expert in Apache and IIS tuning and someone double clicking to install Apache. I don't think developers should be fine tuning Apache, or DB servers. But they *should* be able to run a visual installer and accept the defaults. I run MySQL and SQL Server just fine. I don't consider myself even close to being a DBA, but I can make a database and tables and that should be good enough I'd say. Raymond, I absolutely agree, that we must discern between developers being able to do simple point-and-click installs and configurations - and them been able to do deep-level server analysis and tuning. And you are absolutely right, developers should know about databases and tables, and be able to create tables using the correct datatypes, relations, constraints etc. But I also understand, why the IT department might impose restrictions as to who is able to do what (we cannot, for example, create new databases ourselves - only the IT department can do that). They are the ones who are ultimately held responsible for the performance, stability and security of the servers (not the code that we write) - and I understand that them imposing restrictions can aid in that. But like I wrote in response to Andrew's comments - if I was to setup development anew tomorrow, I would probably also favor a setup where each developer can develop locally, without it interfering with other developers. ~| 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:354237 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Source control in CF
@Russ I can certainly tell, that we have very different views as to which constitutes a quote-unquote developer. In keeping with the automotive analogies, I feel that what Raymond is essentially saying, is that he would not hire you to drive a car, unless you were a mechanic. I feel differently about this, as I would rather hire a chauffeur to drive me around than a mechanic - but this is my personal preference of course. Would I expect my chauffeur to be able to diagnose a flat tire and change it? Absolutely. Would I expect him to be able to diagnose and fix a problem in the engine management system? Absolutely not. In the same way I personally feel, that although a developer should know (or be able to deduce) about potential security issues like the ones you describe, I would not expect him to know about all the internals of the server. If nothing else, I think we can safely say, that Mr. Camden would not employee me, as I would much rather leave setting up servers and the likes, to those who specialize in precisely that :) (oh and on a side note, I find it very interesing to learn about the obviously different views expressed in this thread - gives a man something to ponder) ~| 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:354241 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
