Re: SOT Converting MS-Access databases on non-windows machines
Just to follow through on this -- I am posting similar messages to the CF-Linux list. If you run CFMX on a non-windows box, you *can* directly interface MS-Access databases! So everyone is clear, I don't propose to use MS-Access as a production online db -- just as a means of converting data to/from offline MS-Access databases to more robust online RDBMSes. OpenLink Software has a package that allows you to establish a TCP/IP connection between CFMX and mdb filles on real or emulated windows. MS-Access can be running, or not -- against the same mdbs, or not. The OpenLink solution is $500, which seems a little pricey, at first, But, when you consider the cost of Win OS, MS Office, an emulator, it's not too bad. If you ever have the need to move data between MS-Access and more robust online RDBMSes, you can easily recover the cost of OpenLink -- You can write CF programs to move the data directly -- no messing around with incompetent wizards, CSV files, temp dbs, incompatible datatypes, etc. An added benefit is that the conversion logic is captured in CF programs-- and is repeatable. The $500 cost is for a retail product -- OpenLink does not currently have a developer offering for this package -- but they are looking into it. OpenLink Software is at: http://www.openlinksw.com As a longtime Mac user, I was used to not being able to use MS-Access databases except under emulation. With the advent of Mac OS X (Unix) and the port of CFMX (Linux), I assumed that finally I would be able to interface MS-Access databases from CFMX. I was surprised that I couldn't interface MS-Access databases directly from CFMX Linux -- no way, no how. (according to answers to this thread on CF-Talk, CF-Linux and other sources) To get that capability, you must run CFMX on windows (in my case this means emulated windows -- not really an option). Some digging revealed the OpenLink solution. I have benn fooling around for the kast day, or so, converting a 33 meg client mdb to a Sybase ASE database -- creating tables, validating data, normalizing and populating -- with CFMX programs. I am using the same programs that I used several years ago to convert from MS-Access to SQL-Server with everything running on windows platform. Now, CFMX Sybase run native on Mac OS X -- the mdbs are on a VirtualPC emulated windows (Ive tested both NT XP). I am told that this could all run on Linux, with VMWare or wine in plave of VirtualPC. it just works! To say it again: If you run CFMX on a non-windows box, you *can* directly interface MS-Access databases! I am pretty excited about this!

They usually just take the data and move it. Normalization etc. still has to be handled by the programmer later, but it does not require a separate database, just some separate tables to store the data temporarily. - make an ODBC datasource for the RDBMS you are going to use, create the tables in it and use Access linked tables to move the data over. As I understand this, you are essentially mirroring the Access tables on equivalent target RDBMS, and copying over the data. Any validation, normalization then uses the target RDBMS linked tables as a source. So the target RDBMS Access linked tables are an intermediate step/copy of the data. Yes. - export the data as .csv and read it into the new database The last to can also move data in the other direction. These both involve intermediate files or databases, correct? Intermediate files and tables, not necessarily databases. What I am looking for is a solution where I can write a CF program that: 1) runs on a non-win platform 2) can read/write MS-Access dbs directly (no intermediate files or dbs) Hadn't I read your OpenLink comment, I woud have said that these 2 already are conflicting (unless you count virtual PC simulators). But OpenLink like software is what you need.

Problem with a dynamic menu and loops.

Wondering about good languages for financial math processing
Hi all, In the past I've been piggy backing on Excel via COM in order to do some calculations as ColdFusion isn't the best of tools for performing mathematical routines. Now, this is not ideal either as it requires Excel to be installed on the server and takes up valuable processing time. Does anyone have any suggestions as to any good languages suited for mathematical processing? Preferably with the ability to connect or extract results easily. I've heard that Java isn't really suited for mathematical work either [1]. Perhaps C++ would do the job? I want to avoid COM at this stage considering: a) CFMX doesnt work too well with COM now; b) COM is becoming an obsolete technology with MS pushing .Net and web services instead. TIA, Dave [1] I was told by a friend studying for his MSc Comp Sci. so I could be completely wrong in my presumptions about Java being unsuited for mathematical work. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com

Visual Source Safe and CF Studio
I'm sure this (or similar issues) have come up before, but... I can't log into the archives (I have no idea what my username and password is), I can't register because it says I'm already registered, and when I click the go here if you forgot link nothing happens. There is nothing in the CF FAQ (I looked) and I tried searching on Macromedia KB (all links are broken from the search) and on Google. With all that said, here is my query. How does CF Studio integrate with Visual Source Safe? I came onto a project and they want to use VSS. That's is all fine and dandy. They provided me with a copy. They already have the VSS database set up, which I am accessing via a mapped drive. The CF Studio documentation talks about setting up a project in CF Studio and then integrating it with VSS. But, how do I take the VSS database and turn it into a CF Studio project? It seems to me that VSS is intended to copy the file locally. That doesn't do much good if I am accessing the file remotely via RDS. Checking it back in will copy the unchanged version back up to the site. That doesn't seem like the ideal situation.

OT: Query Analyzer on Win95
Hello, I want to be able to run Query Analyzer for SQL Server 7 or 2000 on a Windows 95 machine. Is this possible? I tried installing from a SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition but the only thing it offered to install were the Client Connectivity Tools and English Query. Is there any place where I could get the Query Analizer as a stand-alone tool? Perhaps from Visual Studio?

RE: CF Changed ip access
If you want to simply change your IP address, visit the Network Connections option in your Control Panel. Assuming you're using Win 2K or XP, you can right-click on the connection (typically Local Area Connection) in the listing and select Properties. Then select TCP/IP ... and click Properties. In that dialog, you'll see the IP address of the machine.

RE: CF-Talk-list V1 #377
BigIP is not honoring sticky sessions. We want a user that his server1 for instance, to stay on server1 for the duration of his/her visit. Users are being logged out at random because apparently they are getting bounced from the server they started on (and where their session variables are) to another server. It USED to be fine. What I'm wondering is if there are any settings I can suggest to the network guys to look at. (I'm only a lowly Web Developer after all. My job is to be the first to have the finger pointed at him when ANYTHING on the website goes wrong.) F5 has been unhelpful. p.s.

Are you trying to generate a file that gets saved (HTML tags and all) to a file or do you want to generate a file that gets displayed in the browser (and the HTML gets rendered by the browser)? If you want to save it, than the code that you posted should be fine. And, as an HTML file, you'd expect to see HTML tags when you open the file in a text editor. If you want to display it, than replace the word attachment in the CFHEADER tag with inline. -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 625-9191 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ -Original Message- From: Les Mizzell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 9:07 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: cfinclude inside a cffile tag?

RE: BigIP and sticky sessions
BigIP is not honoring sticky sessions. We want a user that his server1 for instance, to stay on server1 for the duration of his/her visit. Users are being logged out at random because apparently they are getting bounced from the server they started on (and where their session variables are) to another server. It USED to be fine. What I'm wondering is if there are any settings I can suggest to the network guys to look at. (I'm only a lowly Web Developer after all. My job is to be the first to have the finger pointed at him when ANYTHING on the website goes wrong.) F5 has been unhelpful. You should be able to simply say to the appropriate people that BigIP is not honoring sticky sessions. If you can actually demonstrate that, I don't see what else you'll be able to do without significantly restructuring your application code. You can easily build a demonstration case by using some demo pages that return the current server info (name, IP address, whatever), and putting them on each server. I think that the way load-balancers normally enable sticky sessions is by setting a cookie that corresponds with a single server in the cluster, so you should be able to look at the raw HTTP traffic and see whether the cookie is being set.

RE: Visual Source Safe and CF Studio
Just to add my pennies here, you have a setting in VSS - your working folder where the file is extracted to for changes. You can leave it as the same location the actual file is, and then you can edit (and test) in its proper location. There's no harm, because you can always roll back your changes. VSS integrates with studio really nicely, but I find it takes FOREVER to load a project, so I actually check out my files through the VSS gui and then edit them in CFStudio. That way I don't have to wait 10 minutes for the damn project to load my list of files... Good luck. I like the way VSS works with cfStudio.

No, that's not a viable solution. I cannot give 'nobody' a shell. That defeats the purpose of nobody. I posted in the forum (hey Troy, that was probably me!) and am not receiving a response and have also submitted a bug report. I have narrowed it down to this: CFMX will run as nobody if no shell is specified (nothing at the end of the line in /etc/passwd). It will not run if /dev/null or /bin/false is specified as the shell. The gov't agency I work for has strict requirements that one of the above be specified. This worked for for CF 4.5 and 5.0. It suddenly does not work with CFMX. (It also works for all web servers we have run and currently run, so should not be a major issue). Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

RE: Single Sign On
You can do this two ways: 1) Use IIS to manage the security. Just make sure your site goes over ssl so usernames and password aren't going in plain text, or 2) If you want a proper sign on page for username and password, install advanced security into your cf server installation. Then in cf admin, enable advanced security. You can then use an NT4 domain as a directory as well afaik. I did this in 4.5 successfully, but cf5 now uses siteminder. From there, you can use the cfauthenticate tag to validate usernames and passwords. In solution 2, you would ask for a username and password in a logon form in your cf site, whether they are inside the network or outside the network. -Original Message- From: Sean McCarthy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 8:36 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Single Sign On I need to get the win nt network user name to do authorization for an intranet.

RE: cfinclude inside a cffile tag?
OK, I'm not sure I understand this one correctly, so let me see... app_OUTPUT.cfm is generating some content which includes HTML tags for formatting. You want to save this content to something.fnm, and then push the file to the user where they can save it to their HD. But, when the user gets the file there should not be any HTML tags left in it... instead the text should be formatted as per the HTML. Is that right? If so, you're going to have to handle the HTML rendering yourself, via CF code. CF doesn't know how to render HTML; that's the responsibility of the browser. But you're trying to bypass the browser's rendering engine and save the file straight to disk. If the HTML code is simply some BR tags and some nbsp; entities, you can render the contents with a couple of ReplaceNoCase() calls as in: cfsavecontent variable=sqlOutput cfinclude template=app_OUTPUT.cfm /cfsavecontent CFSET sqlOutput = ReplaceNoCase(sqlOutput, BR, #Chr(13)##Chr(10)#, ALL) CFSET sqlOutput = ReplaceNoCase(sqlOutput, nbsp;, , ALL) cffile action=WRITE ... -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 625-9191 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ -Original Message- From: Les Mizzell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 10:52 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: cfinclude inside a cffile tag? : Are you trying to generate a file that gets saved (HTML tags and : all) to a : file or do you want to generate a file that gets displayed in the browser : (and the HTML gets rendered by the browser)?

Re: 2nd question - Run MX as nobody? - Solution
This is not an option. I don't know how many times I have to say that. We have been using ColdFusion for years and have systems in place on it. We're forward thinking and trying to get rid of our legacy applications, not create new ones. It will not be an option for us to move forward unless CFMX can be run as nobody. Part of our security hardening procedure on production servers is to allow *no* user accounts other than administrators. None of our production software runs as a user other than nobody. We have *never* had a problem with that. I cannot just change the rules - they are dictated by a federal governing body (and I would lose my job and worse if I did). We took this problem to SUN to cover our bases as well and here was their response, backing up my security issue here: Following up on this case regarding locking down a solaris system via the login shell. My understanding is one of your 3rd party plugins (coldfusion) must implement a valid shell for the user nobody, who normally does not have any shell assigned for obvious reasons. I dont know if I agree with the fact that coldfusion actually requires a shell since it is a security hole but thats another ballgame. Does coldfusion actually require a user to login? If not, I would highly recommend using the noshell program which is much more secure than say /bin/false. This shell wont let the user actually login but it is a valid shell. You can get this right off of: http://www.cert.org/security-improvement/implementations/i049.02.html This site gives step by step instructions for using the noshell program, which is very straight forward and takes no more than 10 minutes. If coldfusion actually requires a login than their will be no choice but to assign a valid shell (ie. /bin/csh) to the user nobody and lock the system down appropriately (ie. specify NP in the /etc/shadow file or what not). A valid shell always leave a system open to hacker attacks so I would suggest reviewing the following security faq which tells you pretty much everything you need to know on how to secure the system: http://muse.linuxmafia.org/lost+found/solaris-security-faq.html#Q3.10 I hope this helps. Best Regards, I will look into the noshell option to see if it works and is feasible, but I am highly disappointed that this was written off as a seemingly non-issue when it in fact is a huge issue.

I cannot give 'nobody' a shell. That defeats the purpose of nobody. I posted in the forum (hey Troy, that was probably me!) and am not receiving a response and have also submitted a bug report. I have narrowed it down to this: CFMX will run as nobody if no shell is specified (nothing at the end of the line in /etc/passwd). It will not run if /dev/null or /bin/false is specified as the shell. The gov't agency I work for has strict requirements that one of the above be specified. This worked for for CF 4.5 and 5.0. It suddenly does not work with CFMX. (It also works for all web servers we have run and currently run, so should not be a major issue). Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

cfoutput#gender#/cfoutput

I'm assuming this is because MRS contains 'MR' however I thought the

RE: 2nd question - Run MX as nobody?
Cathy- I wrote the CFMX start script. I also wrote the install. I wrote all of the scripts located in /bin/coldfusion. If you do not want to define a shell for the nobody user, and as solaris does *NOT* allow on the fly shell definition, you must run CFMX as something other than nobody with a validly defined shell. CFMX is written on top of JRun, therefore, we inherit it's methodology to an extent. JRun requires you install, and run (therefore it must be a valid user account) JRun as the user you wish to run it as. As you have pointed out, this differs from CF5. This is because CFMX is not written on the CF6 codebase, and has negligable C components. CF5 and previous revisions has a C binary, the launcher, which would read out the run time user you defined. It would then perform a start function as the root user, fork the process and perform an SUID switching to that defined user. This was made possible because Tom J (the primary engineer) wrote the C binaries for launching implementing his own SUID system. CFMX did not have that luxury, our goal was to utilize as little C code as humanly possible. We were also built on top of JRun. As we could not expect CF users to install and run as a given user like JRun requires, we did what you see now. Inside the script, for Unixes, we perform an su -u $user -c 'command' and on Linux, we define an on the fly shell which is only utilized for the running of that single command. Solaris does not *allow* the definition of a shell when you su to a given user. This was a servere problem with us, and the only way around it is to ensure the defined user has a predefined shell. While some will accuse this as a security risk, the coldfusion documentation states (or should) that you should run CFMX as a user OTHER than nobody, instead, you should create a user account specifically for CFMX. It has never been recommended that you run CF as the same user as the webserver, we choose nobody during the install as that provides the easiest method of installation. If solaris changed SU to allow for on the fly shell definition, then we can change the script, otherwise on solaris the runtime user must have a valid shell. -Jesse Noller Macromedia -Original Message- From: Cathy Taylor To: CF-Talk Sent: 10/10/2002 9:15 AM Subject: Re: 2nd question - Run MX as nobody?

No it is not. Each case must be listed individually.

RE: Problem with a dynamic menu and loops.
You could treat it as two separate queries, each of which feed a segment of the select list. So, in half-pseudo-sortof-code: CFQUERY name=GetTargetDept... SELECT NEEDEDCOLUMNS FROM TABLE /CFQUERY CFQUERY name=GetOtherDepts... SELECT NEEDEDCOLUMNS FROM TABLE /CFQUERY SELECT name=... CFOUTPUT query=GetTargetDept OPTION... /CFOUTPUT CFOUTPUT query=GetOtherDepts OPTION... /CFOUTPUT /SELECT So you are just stacking the results from one query on top of the other. I'm sure that your means of generating the department information are probably different, but I imagine that this should work nonetheless.

RE: 2nd question - Run MX as nobody? - Solution
Cathy- I do recommend trying the noshell option. This was not written off as a non-issue, it was not feasible for us to write more C code binaries, and we were not left pleasant options. I will discuss this matter internally once I am over this flu-bug, and I will see what we can do. Our only real option is to either write a new C-launcher binary (not good, very bad, severe change in CFMX) or enforce the JRun method of installation (Not a good user experience) it is a loose-loose situation on our part. I will see what I can do, and will explore the options internally. -Jesse Noller Macromedia -Original Message- From: Cathy Taylor To: CF-Talk Sent: 10/10/2002 9:26 AM Subject: Re: 2nd question - Run MX as nobody? - Solution This is not an option. I don't know how many times I have to say that. We have been using ColdFusion for years and have systems in place on it. We're forward thinking and trying to get rid of our legacy applications, not create new ones. It will not be an option for us to move forward unless CFMX can be run as nobody. Part of our security hardening procedure on production servers is to allow *no* user accounts other than administrators. None of our production software runs as a user other than nobody. We have *never* had a problem with that. I cannot just change the rules - they are dictated by a federal governing body (and I would lose my job and worse if I did). We took this problem to SUN to cover our bases as well and here was their response, backing up my security issue here: Following up on this case regarding locking down a solaris system via the login shell. My understanding is one of your 3rd party plugins (coldfusion) must implement a valid shell for the user nobody, who normally does not have any shell assigned for obvious reasons. I dont know if I agree with the fact that coldfusion actually requires a shell since it is a security hole but thats another ballgame. Does coldfusion actually require a user to login? If not, I would highly recommend using the noshell program which is much more secure than say /bin/false. This shell wont let the user actually login but it is a valid shell. You can get this right off of: http://www.cert.org/security-improvement/implementations/i049.02.html This site gives step by step instructions for using the noshell program, which is very straight forward and takes no more than 10 minutes. If coldfusion actually requires a login than their will be no choice but to assign a valid shell (ie. /bin/csh) to the user nobody and lock the system down appropriately (ie. specify NP in the /etc/shadow file or what not). A valid shell always leave a system open to hacker attacks so I would suggest reviewing the following security faq which tells you pretty much everything you need to know on how to secure the system: http://muse.linuxmafia.org/lost+found/solaris-security-faq.html#Q3.10 I hope this helps. Best Regards, I will look into the noshell option to see if it works and is feasible, but I am highly disappointed that this was written off as a seemingly non-issue when it in fact is a huge issue.

I cannot give 'nobody' a shell. That defeats the purpose of nobody. I posted in the forum (hey Troy, that was probably me!) and am not receiving a response and have also submitted a bug report. I have narrowed it down to this: CFMX will run as nobody if no shell is specified (nothing at the end of the line in /etc/passwd). It will not run if /dev/null or /bin/false is specified as the shell. The gov't agency I work for has strict requirements that one of the above be specified. This worked for for CF 4.5 and 5.0. It suddenly does not work with CFMX. (It also works for all web servers we have run and currently run, so should not be a major issue). Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I'm kind of bummed I haven't received any reply from Macromedia though to at least confirm my suspicion and say, Hey, we'll get right on that!. We're at a standstill until it's resolved.

Subject: Please clarify behaviour of listContainsNoCase
Can someone confirm to me that this is the correct behaviour for
listcontainsNoCase:
cfscript
if( listContainsNoCase(MRS,MS,MISS, mr , , )) {
gender = F;
} else {
gender = m;
}
/cfscript
cfoutput#gender#/cfoutput
returns F, if I change the first entry in the list to MZ, M gets
outputted.
I'm assuming this is because MRS contains 'MR' however I thought the
whole point of having a listcontainsNocase function (as
opposed to using
contains() ) was that the function would look at each entry
as a whole?
Thanks
Kola

copying db info with cf
Hi. I work on a site that has development, preview/testing, and production environments. These are fully independent right down to the database environments. It's all Oracle on the back end. I've taken care that the data structure is identical from environment to environment. However, the data itself is a little trickier. Some of it is basic data that I set up when the tables are established. But some stuff gets entered later, and I am trying to figure out a clever way to move data from one of the db environments to another. I could, of course, pull the data, try to have cf spit out sql statements that I then paste into another page, but I am wondering whether there is some smarter way? I am imagining some simple export format that I import on the other boxes. Note: this is probably obvious, but just in case: the CF servers are all independent, so no CF code can access another server's DBs.
