Windows 2000 or 2003 Server?
Hi all, I'm looking at setting up a new CFMX installation and have been given the option of Windows 2000 Server , or 2003 Server. Which would be the safer option?

Had the same choice last week and went for 2003, MX doesn't have any isues installing on either. We went for 2003 as it's supposedly more stable/secure and is likley to be supported longer.

RE: Compressing Javascript
Is it possible to gzip encode .js (as you can with text/html in http 1.1).
That could be an option then.

Re: Windows 2000 or 2003 Server?
Personally I'd wait for SP1 before even thinking about it. However, if I had some wiggle room (meaning huge client wasn't going to kill me if the server had a few hiccups), and upgrading to 2003 in 6 months or so didn't look likely...it might be worth it to bite the bullet now rather than be stuck with old tech for the foreseeable future. I've been running Win2k3 on my home machine since release and have found two specific issues so far. IIS6 by default caches all static files for one minute, makes development a headache. The cache can be turned off in the metabase xml file. I haven't confirmed it on any other machine, but the ODBC Text Driver is broken on my machine. It just doesn't work. As far as advantages go, IIS6 is much faster than IIS5, and has lots of new features. Shadow Copy can be handy for quite a few things, and the new Task Manager is nice too. Just to name a few. The permissions system has had quite an overhaul in 2003...I think it is a lot more drastic than even the change from NT4 to 2000 was. I'd want to hit the books for a week or so just to understand the changes before implementing a production system on 2003. -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thursday, October 2, 2003, 4:00:55 AM, you wrote: RS Hi all, RS I'm looking at setting up a new CFMX installation and have been given RS the option of Windows 2000 Server , or 2003 Server.

Re: Windows 2000 or 2003 Server?
You are incorrect. Win2k supports IIS 5.0 and Win 2003 is IIS 6.0 There are patched vulnerabilities in IIS 5.0 which are not needed in Win2003 as the release is a redesign. For instance the ISAPIfilter URLScan is not needed on Win 2003. This is not to say that one should not keep up with patches as they are made available. CFMX 6.1 install on Win2003 is straight forward and relatively easy when compared to the CFMX 6.0 install on Win2k and appears to be more stable.

RE: Windows 2000 or 2003 Server?
I'm not sure how you can claim that Win 2003 do not require patching anywhere near as often - the bad boy has only been out for a few months!Give it a while - it may surprise us with many, many patches. ;^) That being said I've been impressed with 2003 myself - I'm running it now as a Virtual Server host (although the four servers that run inside it on VMs are all Windows 2000) and it's been rock solid for several months.Granted my use is somewhat light - but it is running a lot (two CFMX vms, one SQL Server 2000 vm and one CF 5.0 vm). I was going to use it for my personal web server, but all I had left was the web edition copy and it won't allow SQL server to be installed (I'm using the Enterprise edition on my VM host) so that scuttled that idea. I'm generally in the wait until the first service pack group myself - but the product is pretty sweet.I don't think that you'll go wrong by adopting it early.

coldfusion, apache and mod_rewrite
Hello! Using the popular mod_rewrite module I would like to offer simple entry points to our website like http://www.somewhere.com/go/customer1/ Internally, these requests should be redirected to http://www.somewhere.com/gocustomer.cfm?customer=customer1 Using mod_rewrite I have declared the following rule: RewriteRule ^/go/([a-z,A-Z,0-9,/]+)$ /gocustom.cfm?customer$1 The request are correcly forwarded - but the cfm file is not parsed by the coldfusion/jrun engine (apache delivers the whole source file). If I add a [R] to the rule, it works properly, but the client browser is really redirected to this location (what I want to avoid). Any hints?

good article today on locking at www.communitymx.com
hint tony, haha! jk
If you're on CFMX locking the Session/Application/Server scopes is not
a
stability issue as it was in 4.5/5.0 - but it is needed to prevent
race
conditions.However if you're using them in a read-only manner (and
you're on MX) then locking isn't needed.In 4.5/5.0 locking is needed
to maintain server integrity.
For your App information - that's up to you.I might suggest, at the
very least, using the REQUEST scope for them - that way they're
available to all custom tags as well.
Broadly speaking I generally recommend for users of MX to store this
stuff in the Application scope: you can read the information with no
locking and it uses less system resources under load.For CF 4.5/5.0
I
would say use the Request scope: not having to lock everything is well
worth the system resources used by repeating the information for each
request.

I read this and now I am questioning my Application.
I have been building a document Library system. The Application is
shared
between all the sites using it by Virtual Directories.
I use session variables in the login.cfm to set the User information
(GUID,
Directory, IsAdmin) after login authentication.
cfset SESSION.Auth = StructNew()
cfset SESSION.Auth.Email = QryCheckLogin.Email
cfset SESSION.Auth.UserGUID = QryCheckLogin.UserGUID
cfset SESSION.Auth.LibraryGUID = QryCheckLogin.DocLibOwnerGUID
cfset SESSION.Auth.IsLoggedIn = 'YES'
cfset SESSION.Auth.Admin = '#App_Admin#'
I am not locking the above.
Everything seems to be working when multiple users are on the site (on
the
same website or sharing). I also named the Application dynamically by
cfset AppName = #ListGetAt(CGI.HTTP_Host,'2','.')#
cfapplication name=DocumentLibrary#AppName#
sessionmanagement=Yes
setclientcookies=Yes
sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#
applicationtimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#
Then I just use cfparam to set variables.
cfparam name=App_DataSource default=TheDatabase
cfparam name=App_DataBaseUser default=TheUserName!---
cfparam name=App_DataBasePass default=ThePassword
cfparam name=App_Admin default=NO
cfparam name=APP_Path default=#expandPath('../../../../')#
cfparam name=APP_LibraryOwnerURL default=#CGI.HTTP_Host#
Should I use Application Variables?
Should I be locking them?

Is this CF 5 or earlier?
If so, it is probably actually a NULL chr(0) character.
Notepad will get rid of it when you open and save the file.
CF 5 and earlier have trouble with strings containing NULLs,
since it uses NULLs to mark the end of strings (I think).
The data is still in the string, but all of the output string
functions stop at that character.
Solution? I don't have one. This is where Java and Custom Tags
come in handy.

This sounds line an end -f line or carriage return character (or
both)
Do a replace of each [chr(10) chr(13); replace with white
space or some marker for your illumination ~~~ or whatever ] in the
variable and see if that helps.
Are you SURE it's not in the database, as well? Just kicked down
a line?
If i open the file in notepad, then save it (without making any
changes) it works fine. h...wonder how/if i can use
cfexecute to
have notepad open the file and then save it?
other than that, i can't think of anything else...

Column Attribute Problem in CFHTTP
I'm working to retrieve a tab-delimited list of members from a remote server using CFHTTP. Problem is, the source list headers in the first row have spaces in between some of the words.For example, first name.CFHTTP doesn't like column names with spaces.I've tried specifying my own columns, such as firstname, but then CFHTTP states that there are an incorrect number of columns in the row.I'm only testing with one column. Is there any work arounds, or is there another way to do this? Thanks, Mark [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Seems as soon as we reach EOF, jBRobj.readLine() returns null (expected)
and variable 'line' is no longer defined, quite handy in this case.

Is this CF 5 or earlier?
If so, it is probably actually a NULL chr(0) character.
Notepad will get rid of it when you open and save the file.
CF 5 and earlier have trouble with strings containing NULLs,
since it uses NULLs to mark the end of strings (I think).
The data is still in the string, but all of the output string
functions stop at that character.
Solution? I don't have one. This is where Java and Custom Tags
come in handy.

This sounds line an end -f line or carriage return character (or
both)
Do a replace of each [chr(10) chr(13); replace with white
space or some marker for your illumination ~~~ or whatever ]
in the
variable and see if that helps.
Are you SURE it's not in the database, as well? Just kicked down
a line?
If i open the file in notepad, then save it (without making any
changes) it works fine. h...wonder how/if i can use
cfexecute to
have notepad open the file and then save it?
other than that, i can't think of anything else...

That is total crap as Win2003 is based on WinXP code which was based on Win2K code and as such shares many of the same vulnerabilities.

ColdFusion Scheduler problem
Is there anyway to tell when the next time ColdFusion thinks (used loosely) that a job is supposed to be run? My problem is that I have a job that has a start date of Aug 6, 2003 and is scheduled to run monthly at 4:00 am.It actually runs on the 1st of each month at 4:00 am. I also have another one that is scheduled with a start date of Aug 1, 2003 at 3:30 am.It actually runs on the 26th of the month at 3:30 am. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Windows 2003 editions: Web vs Standard [WAS Re: Windows 2000 or 2003 Server?]
The bulk of the reasons that the default install is safer is that it turns off a lot of unnecessary services/etc. If you standard firewall/DMZ setup, you weren't really vunerable to external attack on those services anyhow. And running IIS Lockdown takes care of most of the rest... So Windows 2000 plus IIS lockdown tool vs Windows 2003 default install -- I'm kind of waiting for Windows 2003 SP1 :) Or running Apache on the windows box so the point becomes moot. But I *am* interested in folks impressions of the Windows 2003 web edition vs standard. I run a small farm of 1U web/cf (only) servers on Windows 2000 that connect to a more powerful db server (running MS-SQL 2000 and MySQL of all things under Win 2000). I was considering replacing Windows 2000 with RedHat Enterprise ES 2.1 (3.0 in mid Oct) based in part on cost considerations and in part on security issues. But the Web Edition of Windows 2003 is price competetive (both are less than $500/server) so I'm a little torn. Since all either runs is web/cf, Windows 2003 Web Edition becomes a sensible upgrade path. Thoughts? I know Dave said he had liked what he had seen with 2003 so far. Has anyone tried to license it? Seemed like OEM-only (eg buy a new server) was the idea when it was released. I've got it through MSDN so no prob testing it -- but curious about folks using it in produciton or getting ready to.

CFMX 6.1 on Windows 2003 = Service Unavailable !!!
I am a coder who has become responsible for managing my company's servers - so please know I am a little green here, and absolutely desperate. After going crazy trying to update CFMX to CFMX 6.1 (and the mess that the failed upgrade left behind - CF was down), I uninstalled CFMX and did a fresh install of CFMX 6.1. To my joy, the install was successful, but I received a message that the last step was to be done in CF Administrator. To my disbelief, when IE poped up, I got a Service Unavailable message. Not only could I not open CF Administrator, but every site on the server is down - even the ASP.NET sites. Every http request renders the same white screen with 'Service Unavailble' in bold black letters. I don't know how to fix this. I am dead in the water until I figure this out.

Odd Netscape/CFMX/IIS5 problem
Hi Folks, I'm wondering if anyone's run into this before.We recently upgraded one of our servers from NT4/CF 4.5 to Windows 2k/CF MX.One of the applications running on the server uses a dynamically generated menu - lots of _javascript_.Everything seemed to be running fine - until one of our clients, who's still running Netscape 4.61 (yes, I know - but we can't do anything about it) reported some weird behaviour.It seems now that most of the time, all the text on the page is showing up as small, hollow rectangles. The text is actually still there - if you re-size the browser window, it'll show as regular text again... for a while.If you flip to another window, then flip back, it'll once again redraw as little rectangles. If you copy paste the 'rectangles' into something else, it shows up as the correct text.The links still work, etc - you just can't tell what anything says.I'll be happy to provide screen shots upon request. :) Has anyone run into anything like this before?Anyone have any suggestions?

RE: CFMX 6.1 on Windows 2003 = Service Unavailable !!!
Check the front page of http://www.houseoffusion.com/ http://www.houseoffusion.com/Michael has some examples of problems and solutions. I had the same thing happen to me when we upgraded. I bet the solution might be something like this: ODBC services do not start - This is an interesting error that comes up once in a blue moon and probably has to do with a failure somewhere in the install. Basically, once you install and are about to go to the migration tool, you find that you just can't log into the admin to finish your migration. The reason is that the ODBC services are not running. You try to start them up and they fail. Why? Because there's an error in their config files. The fix is rather easy. Do a search on the string c:\program files\merant in the c:\cfusionmx\db directory (or whatever drive you've installed it on). You'll find 3 files. Replace that string (c:\program files\merant) with the string c:\cfusionmx\db (or whatever drive letter you have the cfusionmx directory in). After replacing all of the instances in all 3 files, start the services and finish migrating. Easy to do and only 3 people have ever reported seeing it. -Original Message- From: Sutton Yamanashi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 9:34 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFMX 6.1 on Windows 2003 = Service Unavailable !!!

Re: Odd Netscape/CFMX/IIS5 problem
Dirk, On 10/2/2003 at 10:35, you wrote: DS I'm wondering if anyone's run into this before.We recently upgraded DS one of our servers from NT4/CF 4.5 to Windows 2k/CF MX.One of the DS applications running on the server uses a dynamically generated menu - DS lots of _javascript_.Everything seemed to be running fine - until one of DS our clients, who's still running Netscape 4.61 (yes, I know - but we DS can't do anything about it) reported some weird behaviour.It seems now DS that most of the time, all the text on the page is showing up as small, DS hollow rectangles. DS The text is actually still there - if you re-size the browser window, DS it'll show as regular text again... for a while.If you flip to another DS window, then flip back, it'll once again redraw as little rectangles. DS If you copy paste the 'rectangles' into something else, it shows up as DS the correct text.The links still work, etc - you just can't tell what DS anything says.I'll be happy to provide screen shots upon request. :) Are you using CSS to format the links? I've run into display issues with older NN versions as well, specifically when using border formatting on buttons or form fields--buttons still appear without formatting, but have a rectangle below them; form fields tend to disappear and get ignored by the form processor (though they are in the browser source). If CSS is the culprit, I would say that the work around is to either dumb down your CSS, or uses a browser sniffer and serve up different style sheets accordingly. ~ Ubqtous ~ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

RE: Windows 2003 editions: Web vs Standard [WAS Re: Windows 2000 or 2003 Server?]
From what I have been told from a Microsoft Rep if you are an Internet service provider (WebHost) you are supposed to be running Web Addition. This is because it is a stripped down version and does not require any CALs. The full version will require CALs for all users accessing the server including website visitors. I think that is going to be the hardest to enforce as I still haven't seen anyone running Web Addition but all of them host. The best thing I have seen is the SPLA from MS. You can get a license for Web Addition for around $25/Month per CPU that includes the full support package as well. SQL Server for around $120 per CPU. (Prices are from my corrupted memory but I do have the price list) To be in the SPLA you must employ 2 MCP's. You cab also join the SPLA Light and get a 6 month window to get the 2 MCP's.

Tux and CFMX 6.1
Folks, As I said in a previous post, I'm looking at Win 2003 Web Edition vs RedHat Enterprise ES 3.0 for a small farm of web servers. I'm comfortable with Apache, but since RH ES comes with the tux web server as well, which is part of what I assume I'm paying a premium for, has anyone used CFMX with that web server? Since only Advanced Server 2.1 is listed on the supported platform list, I'm a little curious about specific experiences.

RE: CFDump stopped working (along w/ cftrace)
There are some issues with both the HTML and the style sheets used with CFDump (don't know about CFTrace but I assume it's the same story). In short, they are incompatible with several different DTDs. You can experiment with different DTDs or, as I do, just remove the DTD declaration from the DOCTYPE tag, which will place many modern browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla) in compatibility or quirky mode. Of course, the rendering of the rest of your page may change, so you may want to make the inclusion of the DTD dependent on a debug parameter. Benjamin S.

I believe someone on this list asked the other day about determining the size of a directory including everything nested inside it. Using cfdirectory one would have to traverse the entire directory to calculate its entire size. As someone else pointed out in reply to the question, the Windows file system object supports this functionality, but of course you can only access the file system object through COM. Using Black Knight, you could make use of a native .NET file system API instead, which would be much more efficient.

I've been trying to use SELECT...FOR UPDATE without any success. Practically speaking, you can't successfully retain database locks across multiple requests - and even if you could, it would be a bad idea. What happens if the second request never comes - would you want the lock to persist indefinitely? Instead, to ensure data integrity, you have to write additional code to manage the editing process. This can be pretty simple, actually. For example, you can use a timestamp field to track when the record was last updated, and only allow an edit to succeed if the timestamp field hasn't changed since the record was selected for editing.

SQL of course. Don't put off to the business layer what you can do in the data layer. And who cares about performance when it is only 5000 lines (probably SQL is faster anyway).

Re: Windows 2000 or 2003 Server?
Actually Win 2003 is IIS 5.2 and XP is IIS 6.x Don't ask me why.I just happen to have a Win 2003 server right here and a cfdump reveals IIS 5.2 :-) Also... as far as Win2003 is concerned.I've had CFMX 6.1 running on Win2003 for a couple months now and couldn't be happier. -Novak - Original Message - From: Doug White [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 2:19 AM Subject: Re: Windows 2000 or 2003 Server? You are incorrect. Win2k supports IIS 5.0 and Win 2003 is IIS 6.0 There are patched vulnerabilities in IIS 5.0 which are not needed in Win2003 as the release is a redesign. For instance the ISAPIfilter URLScan is not needed on Win 2003. This is not to say that one should not keep up with patches as they are made available. CFMX 6.1 install on Win2003 is straight forward and relatively easy when compared to the CFMX 6.0 install on Win2k and appears to be more stable.

Re: How do I tell what fields are in my tables...
Manually test each field with IsNumber,IsDate,IsBoolean etc. etc. ? Nope, this will only test for the CF variables containing values returned by a query, which is quite fuzzy. For instance 1234 stored as a text field in the database will be declared numeric by CF. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
