Dynamic content (pages) being served from SQL Server 2000
What are people's opinions on serving a page (i.e. info from a text data type) from a database over serving it from a text file. For instance, we're working on a content management system where the page information is being stored in the database rather than a text file. I guess the main question is which is quicker and more efficient over which is the easiest to search. --- Regards, Darryl Lyons Senior Systems Developer Fuzion: http://www.fuzion.com.au Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone : (07) 3620 1000 Fax : (07) 3620 1001 Technical Support : (07) 3230 8811 'merging business + technology' ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: CF_Amazon anyone?
That's CF_Amazon 1.1 which no longer works because it was set up to parse old Amazon.com layouts. I downloaded and tried it again just a moment ago... just to make sure, you get a 404 from amazon.com. CF_Amazon 4.0 was supposed to fix having to constantly update the parsing code by querying the company who developed the tag and then they queried Amazon.com (with some sort of caching I imagine). But that is no longer being maintained, the searches don't work, and the best selling lists are out of date. This is why I ask if anyone is keeping a tag like this up to date.

Re: Dynamic content (pages) being served from SQL Server 2000
Darryl Case 1: Storing static xxx.html pages in a text field of database as opposed to storing them as xxx.html pages on the server. 1) User requests a page with: href=GetPage.cfm?PageName=xxx 2) Your program retrieves page from db and serves with cfcontent tag + Some gain in page management of pages with db + Can search without need to rebuild index (ala Verity) - Much additional overhead of CF server and SQL Server - inefficient use of SQL db - More complex page creation/maintenance interface than straight html (copy/paste between html editor and data entry form) = no real advantage of updating redundant information (same information appears in multiple pages) = no real navigational advantage Case 2: Database-Driven Dynamic Content - The information used to dynamically generate pages (as opposed to the pages themselves) is stored in the db. 1) User requests information (usually as part of a search and drill-down), with: href=GetInfo.cfm?Table=NewsField=anyAction=containsValue=Fusion 2) Your program: Analyzes the request and builds a query Queries the db formats a list of candidates - those records satisfying the search, from information in the db presents re-presents next/previous groups of candidates formats detail of candidate selected as result of drill-down. Combines data from fields in db with markup, headings, etc. from template presents detail of selected candidate + Large gain in management of information with db + Very flexible search/sort capability + Easy to impose/change format and presentation standards... they are in the template not in the data + Content can be created/maintained by non-techies + Queries can be cached by CF + Eliminates redundant information and all the associated problems + Simplifies creation/maintenance data + Great advantage in efficiency of navigation and drill-down + Great improvement in user control and user experience... the site works the way he wants to work + Great flexibility in what information is presented and how it is presented (as compared to programs like Verity). For example in a drill-down for suppliers of a certain product you present a next/prev list of candidates. When a candidate is selected, you show the detail information and: other products he sells news articles where he is mentioned... + Easy to enter data in advance of its being made public, then later, making it available (release date, etc). For example: 10 % price increase in all products. introducing a new product line publishing This Week's News Articles + Easy to maintain statistics/ monitor site activity in real time + Ability to create/update content from wherever; whenever! - Slight additional overhead of CF server and SQL Server There are probably many other points that could be made.

RE: Your site's easy to navigate? You Think so?
You should take a look at bobby and the WAI guide. Bobby is a collaboration project between (amongst others) SUN microsystems and Microsoft (gasp!) (http://www.cast.org/bobby/) - you can either download the java based tool or use the website to check a website you have built for accessibility, while the WWW Consortioum have been working on the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) since the mid nineties (http://www.w3.org/WAI/) which gives web designers guidelines as how to build sites. The key to designing sites for accessibility is to allways offer an alternative - in that if you have a flash site, then do it in plain html, if you have a graph then write a description of the data on a seperate page and add the link to it next to the image, etc. Always use alt tags and never use frames. From the outset it can take a while to get into the working practice of designing for accessibility, but once you take into consideration the guide (above) and test you sites then their should not be a problem - as a guide also get hold of Lynx the text only browser and check you site/s on this too (for as a rule of thumb that is how voice browsers will read you site) - if you can't navigate your site with Lynx then a blind user will never be able to use you site.

RE: cfhttp/cffile locking?
No, the first poster said it right, If other pages in your application, or other applications on your server write to the file, then you *do* need to lock the cffile, (for both the read and write). Notice - both read and write. You should use an exclusive lock around the write, and a ReadOnly lock around the reads, even if you only write once a day. Sure, with one write you will probably never run into trouble w/o locks, but since it takes about 2 seconds to type in the code, why _not_ do it? === Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ UIN : 3679482 My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: Michael Lugassy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, June 03, 2001 12:34 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: cfhttp/cffile locking?

Re: Your site's easy to navigate? You Think so?
As Michael suggested, Kola, take look at the Bobby tool. To just expand on this issue, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act has defined a set of standards that must now be met by web sites developed for US government agencies to ensure that people with disabilities can adequately navigate the site. While it is a bit of a burden (re-writing old sites is never fun), the changes really aren't that extensive or intrusive. There are a few restrictions that have caused us problems though, namely, using Javascript to submit a form (now a no-no). I thought it was interesting that Mike said that the government sites seemed to be the worst. The standards laid out in section 508 should address this problem. While the standards are specifically targeted for government websites, they provide a good set of guidelines for the average developer who is interested in making their websites available for everyone.

Thanks Kola -Original Message- From: Michael Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 June 2001 04:44 To: CF-Talk Subject: Your site's easy to navigate? You Think so? I have just come out of a most enlightening session with a blind user, running though a client's web site with JAWS, a screen reading program that turns the web page into synthesised voice. I thought I was quite aware of accessibility issues before, and was comfortable in thinking that my sites were better than the average in providing access to the blind and people with other disabilities. This session was educational to say the least. I am still convinced my sites are better than average, but I am bound to inform you that the average is pretty damn poor. I know some people are really concerned about accessibility for the disabled and others have decided that the disabled are such a small portion of their userbase, it's not worth changing everything to allow for them. I'm here to tell you that it's not difficult to design a good site to allow for access, it just takes a little understanding of how programs like JAWS works. To be truthful, I think that if I were blind, I'd go stark raving mad at all the frustrations of life but trying to surf the web wouldn't make life any easier that's for sure. For example, he took us through a page of our bookshop. And we'd arranged things to look nice on the page, but there were parts of the catalogue page where he didn't know what the add to basket graphic was referring to - this book or the previous one. And some nested tables were simply awful and impossible to work round.We all think putting navigation buttons on the top of every page makes for easy navigation, but blind people have to wade through (in our case) 50 navigation links before getting to the guts of the page. On a search of our site, the resulting page has a nice header at the top with links to all our site's catgegories and sub-categories and then a sidebar with links to other parts of the site, and finally the search results itself. Visually it looks fine - quick and simple to move around the site. But using the screen reading software it took **AGES** to get to anything related to the search. By just laying out the page differently, we could have made this page FAR easier to navigate for him. I'm not suggesting we should all go about redesigning our sites just for the relatively few blind users, but just understanding how the software works, has made me re-think many of the forms I build. The user also said that Government sites tended to be the worst of all. I'm not sure if that's because they're designed by developers with an eye on the government money or because they are specified by bureaucrats. Certainly of all the sites that ought to know about accessibility, Government sites ought to be the leaders, and apparently they aren't. I think as web developers, you'd all be doing A Good Thing if you arranged for a meeting like we just had at Australian Consumers Association - have a blind person come and work your site for you using their screen reading software.

Re: Your site's easy to navigate? You Think so?
One of the main restrictions of many of the reader's used by blind people is that they do not support javascript (or other active scritps i assume). As a result, any page that contains javascript functionality, must have an alternate way of performing the same or similar type function. So what this really comes down to, is programming your site to work for browsers that do not support active scripting, or that may have that feature disabled. This is something that's not a bad idea to do anyway.

RE: Your site's easy to navigate? You Think so?
Just a quick thought/question... not just for the case of the blind but also those on low bandwidth and other alternate web browsing choices, would a good solution for all this be to build a site of many faces, using CF and the CGI.HTTP_USER_AGENT to switch between faces. I've seen this done for WAP in an example mode but haven't really seen it. The concept would be something along the lines of an auto-switch instead of having the user click on High Bandwidth and Low Bandwidth at a splash page. Granted, it's more development time, but it's also a great selling point! Just my two cents.

One of the main restrictions of many of the reader's used by blind people is that they do not support javascript (or other active scritps i assume). As a result, any page that contains javascript functionality, must have an alternate way of performing the same or similar type function. So what this really comes down to, is programming your site to work for browsers that do not support active scripting, or that may have that feature disabled.

RE: Your site's easy to navigate? You Think so?
Kola, as I said earlier - the quickest short cut to this is to download Lynx (text only flavour browser) (http://lynx.browser.org/) - as this will act as a text reader (which is how voice browsers work in effect - they usaully read out from top let across the page to top right, then down a line, etc) - if you can navigate a website with Lynx (which is free) then a voice browser *should* work too - if you can't navigate a site with Lynx then a voice browser will DEFINATELY not work. Which is a starting point. Secondly, if it works on Lynx then run bobby over it to generate a report that will give you errors in order of preference. The WAI guidelines are just that - in that they suggest a minimum methodology, but also suggest a tiered approach to development. If you are interested in this methodology also try doing some research on the web about it - as a starter use something like Betsie (created back in 1998 in collaboartion between the BBC and the RNIB in the UK) which is a free tool that creates text only versions of sites. If you don't want the hassle of re-training youself or your staff into creating hand code, etc. that is WAI compliant then use lynx - bobby - betsie (all are free) as a road map in checking, testing, creating a text only version of a site - then add a link to the text only version at the top-left first code on every page of your site/s - it's a crude but working methodology - when creating a site in CF that is template/dynamicly driven you can also bear in mind these issues - we pull all our content in from flat text/html formatted pages then depending on global variables set display the text with a graphic or non-graphic wrapper.

I have just come out of a most enlightening session with a blind user, running though a client's web site with JAWS, a screen reading program that turns the web page into synthesised voice. I thought I was quite aware of accessibility issues before, and was comfortable in thinking that my sites were better than the average in providing access to the blind and people with other disabilities. This session was educational to say the least. I am still convinced my sites are better than average, but I am bound to inform you that the average is pretty damn poor. I know some people are really concerned about accessibility for the disabled and others have decided that the disabled are such a small portion of their userbase, it's not worth changing everything to allow for them. I'm here to tell you that it's not difficult to design a good site to allow for access, it just takes a little understanding of how programs like JAWS works. To be truthful, I think that if I were blind, I'd go stark raving mad at all the frustrations of life but trying to surf the web wouldn't make life any easier that's for sure. For example, he took us through a page of our bookshop. And we'd arranged things to look nice on the page, but there were parts of the catalogue page where he didn't know what the add to basket graphic was referring to - this book or the previous one. And some nested tables were simply awful and impossible to work round.We all think putting navigation buttons on the top of every page makes for easy navigation, but blind people have to wade through (in our case) 50 navigation links before getting to the guts of the page. On a search of our site, the resulting page has a nice header at the top with links to all our site's catgegories and sub-categories and then a sidebar with links to other parts of the site, and finally the search results itself. Visually it looks fine - quick and simple to move around the site. But using the screen reading software it took **AGES** to get to anything related to the search. By just laying out the page differently, we could have made this page FAR easier to navigate for him. I'm not suggesting we should all go about redesigning our sites just for the relatively few blind users, but just understanding how the software works, has made me re-think many of the forms I build. The user also said that Government sites tended to be the worst of all. I'm not sure if that's because they're designed by developers with an eye on the government money or because they are specified by bureaucrats. Certainly of all the sites that ought to know about accessibility, Government sites ought to be the leaders, and apparently they aren't. I think as web developers,

Also, your suggestion to use the 2-step approach below does not seem to be bringing any results (broken link to image). It is also kind of hard to debug. If I try to output the photo result that I get back from the LDAP directory is only 5 characters, which if I try to TOBASE64 I get the first few characters of the image. I guess either the LDAP tag does not return the whole image (only the 1st 5 characters), or there is a manipulation or a step somewhere that I am missing. Can anybody help me with that?

RE: Use interactive CF debugger!!! : was VeRy tricky evaluate()
Don't know how far you've got, but first step is to set up a development mapping, and then make sure you can browse the page from within cf studio. Then open the page you want to start debugging and set a break point on a line of cf code. You should do this on any subsequent pages as well, if you don't it tends to fall over. I've found you can move through many pages, even via cflocation as long as you have a break in each page. Click on the start debug arrow button or press ctrl F5. You get to select a page to start from, make sure you pick the right page and the right development mapping and click ok. It should go to the page and stop. Sometimes it takes a couple of goes to connect to the server. Once in you can step through code, view variables, evaluate variables look at query record counts, look at the output set watches etc. But so much easier than staring at a bit of code that doesn't work. Maybe I've just been lucky in getting it running - I'm using NT4 CF4.5, but as far as I know there isn't any reason why it wouldn't, as long as your developemnt mappings work.

Client variable storage and Long Text Buffer Size....
We have been having some sporadic oddities with client variables. Some times they seem to be missing or not found. I was wondering if anyone has modified the Long Text Buffer Size setting in the ODBC settings for your client variable database. I have noticed some of the database fields seems to be unusually large. Thanks Rich ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: [RE: IIS or Apache? (WAS RE: can anyone help?)]
I do not know about IIS. With apache when you install as a service you can specify which config file to use (we also copy the apache exe to a new name so that we can tell the services apart in Perfmon). We install apache as a service twice with the config files listening on different ip/ports. If you have a load balancer I recommend the same IP for both services but different ports, if no load balancer then use different IP's. I like to run different services because of the threading issues. I do not know how virtual servers within IIS work, but with this apache configuration, I pretty much guarantee that one apache service bottlenecking (i.e. more CF requests than it can handle) does not prevent the other for servicing it's requests. This does break down eventually as the TCP stack is still a bottleneck in the end. It is correct (as mentioned below) that all instances of the apache service will use the same CF Service, so there is no value is having multiple instances and running CF from all of them. We do it specifically to allow static files to be served regardless of how jammed the CFserver is. On performance, We have found that we can generate enough static traffic on a dual PIII box running apache to saturate our 100MB LAN (service 14K files). Serving 1K files we are able to serve about 800 connections/sec. I do not believe that for most people the performance of the web server software itself is really an issue. The performance of Cold Fusion itself, the SQL code, etc are the bigger issues. As soon as you add any back end processing things really slow down.

Did anyone ever answer this? I'm curious myself.. specifically on IIS. I don't think anyone answered the question with regard to IIS - it was an Apache question. You can't run multiple instances on IIS on a single server. However, you can run multiple virtual servers within IIS, and each can have its own ISAPI configuration. You can get the same effect doing this as the original writer mentioned using Apache. With either IIS or Apache - or any other web server - all instances or virtual servers can use the same CF service, as long as they're configured to do so.

Oracle/CF 5 support on Linux (which CF Version?)
Which version of Cold Fusion 5 supports Oracle database connectivity? I am a little confused since our 4.5 professional version worked just fine and 5.0 professional doesn't. Recently we installed the trial version of 5 and it works just fine (looks like Enterprise - although I didn't think the Linux Enterprise version would be available 'til August). Last Thursday we received subscriber information on upgrading our 4.5 Professional to 5.0 Professional. As soon as I install the upgrade it kills about half of the ODBC drivers (including Oracle). When running CF scripts the server responds, Unsupported ODBC data source TDWEB for ColdFusion Professional Edition. Why remove Oracle support in Professional version of 5 when 4.5 supported it just fine!!?? The feature comparison matrix on the Macromedia/Allaire sites only says the native drivers are not supported in professional version. Are we going to be forced to upgrade to Enterprise edition???

while CF 4.5 only works for forward slashes.

I have code to check for the existence of a file which work fine in CF 4.0
but only always returns a 'NO' in CF 4.5.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and/or could offer some advise?

Hello All!
I'm running into a problem with session/cookie management, and am hoping
you folks would be able to point me in the right direction.
It's like this: we ask user's to sign in with basic information to gain
access to a certain part of the website. After they fill out the form, I
run a script which writes their information to a database and sets a session
variable to represent that they have already logged in (so they don't have
to log back in if they surf to other parts of the site and then come back).
This works fine for probably 85% of the users, but it seems that for some
users that session variable isn't getting set (I haven't been able to verify
this; I can't replicate the problem but I've received reports about it). It
might be an issue of the user turning of cookies -- which I am attempting to
catch and deal with in the Application.cfm file.
If the user is not accepting cookies, I'm trying to add the CFID and
CFTOKEN to the URL so I can still keep track of their session info.
Here's the code I am working with -- do you see anything amiss?
TIA!
Cheers,
David

RE: duplicate logins
sounds appropriate, but if you want to pass the url token you must add it to
every address in the site (anchor tags, form actions, javascript functions).
It is automatically added to all cfinclude's unless you specifically tell it
not to.
Also, you don't need to recreate the urltoken, CF creates one automatically:
replace this:
CFIF NOT ISDEFINED(session.rollCount)
CFSET SESSION.ROLLCOUNT = 1
CFCOOKIE NAME=isOn VALUE=testing
CFSET APPLICATION.ADDTOKEN =
cfid=#client.cfid#cftoken=#client.cftoken#
CFELSE
CFSET APPLICATION.ADDTOKEN = IIF(NOT
ISDEFINED(cookie.isOn),
DE(cfid=#client.cfid#cftoken=#client.cftoken#), DE())
/CFIF
with this:
cfparam name=session.rollCount default=1
and use #urltoken# wherever you need to.

CF_MAGIC tag!!!!
Hi All, I faced a very strange coding experience. I have a tag with a single line comment in it. There is absolutely no code inside it. So essentially it is an empty tag. I call this the magic tag. On my current project, I have a custom tag that builds an HTML table dynamically based on a query. And this tag has a lot of other business logic code that is being called. It used to take 20 seconds (yes! 20 seconds) to build the table. I call this the snail tag. I wrapped all the code in the snail tag using the magic tag. So the snail tag looks like this cf_magictag all the business logic and the loop around the query to build the dynamic HTML table /cf_magictag The time taken reduced to less than 2 seconds (yes! less than 2 seconds). Now you know why I called is the magic tag!!! How does this happen? Does anyone have an explanation? Thanks Kedar Desai ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Can we limit the text in textarea
Well there isn't a maxlength BUT after they hit submit, on the action page, before it processes anything else, you can have CF COUNT the characters in that string and if they exceed a certain number you can give them a message telling them so. There are also javascripts that will count characters on the form so when a person types in their text they click the (count characters) button to see if it's too long. I think there are even some written that will not let them hit submit until they fix the field.

RE: Can we limit the text in textarea
Not with straight HTML, but you can do it with JavaScript - something like
onKeyPress=if(document.FORMNAME.TEXTAREANAME.value.length 500) {
alert('Only 500 characters allowed') }
You can also do it, obviously, when the form is submitted:
cfif Len(form.TEXTAREANAME) GT 500
cfabort showerror=Only 500 characters allowed
/CFIF

There are two ways that I am aware of. One make Cf show a Please limit your input to 125 letters message with server side validation.

RE: Can we limit the text in textarea
You can do it in Javascript
function lencheck(obj_value, len){
// Returns true if value is less than or equal to length,
// otherwise returns false.
if (obj_value.length = len){
return true;
} else {
over = obj_value.length - len;
alert(This field can only contain +len+ characters. You have
+over+
extra characters.);
return false;

Re: Can we limit the text in textarea
Try something like this. This (should) restrict the textarea to 800
characters, and display how many characters are remaining, in a seperate
textbox:
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript
!-- Begin
function textCounter(field, countfield, maxlimit) {
if (field.value.length maxlimit) // if too long...trim it!
field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlimit);
// otherwise, update 'characters left' counter
else
countfield.value = maxlimit - field.value.length;
}
// End --
/script
cfform name=REPLIER method=post action=post.cfm
textarea name=ReplyMessage wrap=physical cols=27 rows=9
onKeyDown=textCounter(this.form.ReplyMessage,this.form.remLen,800);
onKeyUp=textCounter(this.form.ReplyMessage,this.form.remLen,800);/textar
ea
br

RE: [RE: IIS or Apache? (WAS RE: can anyone help?)]
Does IIS provide setting for how many connections it will allow? For example, in Apache, if you set one conenction and that one connection is being held by a slow CF query, then everything else backs up. Does IIS behave the same way, or does it establish separate connection queues for each virtual server? We were hitting situations where we would get hit with a burst of traffic, say 80 CF requests per second (about 7Mb of load), for a brief period. Each CF request has a corresponding 9 or so graphic requests. We are tuned for CF to only allow 10 concurrent connection (per web server to control database load), so we very quickly hit a backlog of requests in the web server waiting for the CF requests to finish. By serving the images out of a separate instance of Apache, we were able to make sure that once a CF page was returned, that the corresponding pieces were returned quickly and not stuck in the queue. Sounds like this might work in IIS by establishing a virtual server for static elements if the queueing structure is in fact separate. Justin -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 1:17 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: [RE: IIS or Apache? (WAS RE: can anyone help?)] I like to run different services because of the threading issues. I do not know how virtual servers within IIS work, but with this apache configuration, I pretty much guarantee that one apache service bottlenecking (i.e. more CF requests than it can handle) does not prevent the other for servicing it's requests. This does break down eventually as the TCP stack is still a bottleneck in the end. One IIS virtual server waiting on slow CF responses doesn't seem to affect another returning static files.

Random Quotes SQL
Hello, i've been tasked with creating a random quote app for a web site. The trouble i'm having is figuring out how to store the data in my table and then be able to retrieve data once the client has deleted a quote. For example, i can use a PK to define each quote and then just pull a random number within the range of quotes available (eg. 45 quotes, so a random number between 1 and 45), but the client wants to be able to modify or delete quotes so once a deletion occurs, it's possible that the random number chosen might just not exist. What is the SOP for something like this? If the record doesn't exist, select a different random number (seems like a lot of overhead) or is there a way that i should be keying the data to make the possibility of pulling an id that doesn't exist. Oh, i'm working with Access too. Thanks for any help. d ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Random Quotes SQL
Why not use the query.recordcount to define your random number range and display using startrow=#randomRecord# and maxrows=1 attributes? This way you could cache the query or assign it to the application or server scope and work with it out of memory... Just a thought.

Radiant Communications
I host my 4 CF servers at RADIANT COMMUNICATIONS. Vancouver BC Canada...
Man, It is so frustrating when the facility we use for co-locating 4 of our
servers all of a sudden becomes unavailable and we can not access any of
our sites.
Going on 10 minutes now, all four of our servers are down. last time (last
month) our connection was down for 70 minutes
Another time they decided to update the software on our leased fire wall
without notifying us effecting disabling our https and smtp services for
close to an hour.
What's the point in investing time and money in fail over when your bloody
ISP can't keep their redundant service running!!!
And to add insult to injury, their stinking site (www.radiant.net) is still
running just fine. Maybe they out source...grr

Re: Slightly OT: Javascript Error - Confirmation Box
This will work
function checksure() {
return confirm('Are you sure you want to DELETE the Page you selected? This
will also delete any SUB articles of this item!!');
}
/script
with the onsubmit=return checksure();
confirm() returns a boolean true or false already, no need to recreate it.

RE: Slightly OT: Javascript Error - Confirmation Box
Issac,
Not sure if this got wrapped in the email or if it is on two lines
in your code, but I tried placing the confirm text all on one line
and it worked fine.
if (confirm('Are you sure you want to DELETE the Page you selected?
This will also delete any SUB articles of this item!!')) {

Re: Radiant Communications
I know it is frustrating...
depending on your size and needs, it often is best to lease two high
speed lines and build at your own facility..
that is unless you have the mucho dinero to pay the crazy rates the
real folks like Exodus want... and not to pick on them, but even local
yocals want 2k a month for 2 boxes on a fractional T1...
Be sure to get redundant bandwidth as much as you at your own location
(if you can afford it)... some companies out there like Teligent had a
good opportunity to pitch everyone but just didn't get the marketing...
since they sell wireless T1 type circuits it makes a wonderful backup...
Colocation can be fine, but there are so many variables, large cost,
distance from your office, etc. that in my opinion it just isn't all it
has been marketed to be...

Re: Radiant Communications
Most likely Verio does not have their own location in New Orleans. In most cities, Verio just co-locates with someone else. If the building power goes out, or some #$!%ing contstruction workers spray insulation into the ducts causing the AC to shutdown, or the moron on the rack next to you trips and falls on top of your server, or someone forgot to fill the generators with gasoline...there are so many variables... It's usually not Verio's fault is what I'm trying to say ;-) I dont know anyone at Verio, or care, I do know that they do their best though. We are colocated next to them down here, and they are crazy redundant for no reason. They have 2 redundant Cisco 7500's with redundant backbones for 2 stinking managed Sun RAQ's, with a ton of batteries to backup the generators... jon - Original Message - From: Russel Madere [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 5:54 PM Subject: RE: Radiant Communications Verio in New Orleans was worse.

RE: Radiant Communications
power fail over... sure did fail over...
Verio is by far one of the lower quality facilities...
Check out INFLOW... they have centers all over the place and run a
pretty good shop... And one more thing about them... they have a
stocked kitchen and workstations so when you are there you don't have
to leave the facility for food and such... good thinking...
and it is free (well just hidden in the bundled cost)...

RE: Radiant Communications
Yeah Brook... I only say what I do based on my experience...
I have seen folks spend 20-30k a month to those at 2k a month... I am
hard pressed to say either works well...
If you need hands on your machinery then it is a big expensive flight,
hotel etc... plus it takes time... more time than the web allows..
Perhaps a good load balancing appliance that sits outside the
datcenter.. or better two of them with geographic distribution and at
minimum one of those sites being at your location is a nice hybrid
play...
Let's all face it... If you don't buy your bandwidth and connection
from the people who own the network, there are more layers of
problems...
Play with the variables based on your budget... and get running from
that data center... I can give you better uptime on my DSL connection :)

45 minutes and counting.the clients are starting to call.
I'm trying to run a god damned Application service provider. Keeping
the
systems running 100% of the time is hard enough without my Co
location
facility contributing to the problem. In the ASP market, high
availability
and reliability are paramount. This kind of outage is absolutely
terrible.
It destroys my clients confidence in us.
Paris, I think your right in saying the co-location may not be all it
is
made out to be. I'm looking into alternatives now as I pull out my
hair.
Thanks for letting me vent.
45 minutes and counting?!! I think I'm going to start smoking
again

I host my 4 CF servers at RADIANT COMMUNICATIONS. Vancouver BC
Canada...
Man, It is so frustrating when the facility we use for
co-locating 4 of our
servers all of a sudden becomes unavailable and we can not access
any of
our sites.
Going on 10 minutes now, all four of our servers are down. last
time (last
month) our connection was down for 70 minutes
Another time they decided to update the software on our leased
fire wall
without notifying us effecting disabling our https and smtp
services for
close to an hour.
What's the point in investing time and money in fail over when
your bloody
ISP can't keep their redundant service running!!!
And to add insult to injury, their stinking site
(www.radiant.net) is still
running just fine. Maybe they out source...grr
