Wow. That gets my vote for weakest security argument of 2005. That said, if the entire HoF membership list, passwords and all, were compromised, it isn't very likely anyone would notice. What's the worst someone could do with your login - subscribe you to cf-community? The thing that really m

Re: How to set virtual sites for localhost viewing?

Go to the configuration in IIS for the default website and remove any identies that have blank host header names. This way, no web site will be displayed by IIS for a bare IP address or for host names that you've pointed at the IP address without having yet set up a virtual web site. You'll ge

Re: How to set virtual sites for localhost viewing?

2005-02-28 Thread Jim McAtee
What you're misssing is that you're unlikely to have direct access to the DNS for all of your clients. You need to set up these host names under your _own_ domain name, or else you'll find yourself needing to contact the client's domain administrator, which gets ugly fast. And is unnecessary.

There can be a big difference between using a dedicated site and trying to accomplish the same thing by simulating a site within a subdirectory. For instance, you can't easily use references like . I doubt you'll be managing DNS constantly, but it depends on how often you accept new client proj

We do this all the time by setting up host names in DNS under our own domain name. For example nicksbakery.ourdomain.com bobstire.ourdomain.com If you know how to set up the virtual web sites in IIS using host headers, then what you may be missing is the need to configure the DNS. We manage

It strikes me that you shouldn't be allowing those munged or extraneous URL variable values to cause CF to throw errors. For example, I'd never use something like the following Instead, I'd use You might accomplish something similar by wrapping the first in a cftry/cfcatch, but this

If the page on which the SSI directive is included has an extension of ..html then that extension would have to be mapped to the SSI engine ssinc.dll. Look under Application settings. You'll probably see .stm and a couple other extensions mapped to this dll. If I'm not mistaken, the extension
