RE: Configuring Apache to run Cold Fusion files
I am running Apache 2.0.48 for Windows and this is how I configured it to run CFML. I went into the CFUSIONMX\bin\connectors\ folder and EDITED the apache_connector.bat file to correctly point to the install folder for Apache to something like this: @echo off echo WARNING!This will install the ColdFusion MX Apache Connector. echo Press Control+C to abort. pause SETLOCAL PATH=..\..\runtime\jre\bin;%PATH% java -jar ..\..\runtime\lib\wsconfig.jar-ws apache -dir c:\program files\apache group\apache2\conf -map .cfm,.cfc,.cfml -coldfusion -v ENDLOCAL pause I saved it and then executed the batch file - made a test index.cfm file for the htdocs folder and BINGO it worked! I then copied a copy of a site I was building under CFMX into the httpd folder to test and it also worked. So now I have CFMX with it's built-in server, Apache and BlueDragon MX 6.1B2 to test my apps under.

RE: StructFindKey - what's really possible?
Hi I guess reading the docs would have helped to keep my foot out of my mouth there... Given what is says it ought to be able to do what you want as long as the thing you are passing in is a Struct; it does not accept Arrays directly. A quick test confirmed that. You can just assign your array to a field in a new Struct and you'll be able to search it that way though. Yup, that works. (cf5) Mark -Original Message- From: Susan McNab [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 7:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: StructFindKey - what's really possible? Mark, Thanks. What do you mean when you say array?I am reading the docs for StructKeyFind to mean that if a Struct contains another struct then it will dive into that too, but it doesn't say it will scan Arrays. What you say makes sense but are we reading the same CFDocs? Originally I thought StructFindKey was just for structures too. Then I looked at the MX CFDocs and they specifically say Structure or Array in several places and that they can be nested. Maybe that means one or the other but not mixed? Here's another quote: Searches recursively through a substructure of nested arrays, structures, and other elements I am not so much interested in getting a solution to a specific coding issue. I don't think I am understanding the CFDocs clearly. I wondered if anyone else has been through this and come up with a concise summary of StructFindKey behavior. At any rate, if you describe your data structure more clearly then you'll be more likely to get an accurate answer. The data structure is similar to the example I provided, except that the stuct keys are well formed and the data is not such a regular pattern. (I was tired when I knocked that up...don't know what I was thinking!) It groups together a structure of summary details (aArray[n][1]) with varying numbers of line items (aArray[n][2,3,4,...n]) each of which holds a structure. Here's an abbreviated representation: a2DArray[1][1].iQuoteID [1].sDescription [1].iDiscountRate [1].iAction a2DArray[1][2].iQuoteRowID [2].sItemDescription [2].iQuantity [2].iChargePropertyID [2].iAction a2DArray[1][3].iQuoteRowID [3].sItemDescription [3].iQuantity [3].iChargePropertyID [3].iAction a2DArray[2][1].iQuoteID [1].sDescription [1].iDiscountRate [1].iAction a2DArray[2][2].iQuoteRowID [2].sItemDescription [2].iQuantity [2].iChargePropertyID [2].iAction Rgds Sue _ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: BlueDragon 6.1B2 issues
Hi Peter, For the first one, if you remove the closing /cfhttp tag it will remove the error (the closing /cfhttp tag is unnecessary; if you remove it your code is still compatible with CF5/MX). This issue is documented in the BlueDragon CFML Compatibility Guide: BlueDragon does not support closing tags for tags that do not normally have a tag body. For this reason, BlueDragon does not support the optional use of a closing /CFHTTP when using METHOD='Get'. BlueDragon does, however, support the use of a closing /CFHTTP when using METHOD='POST'. For the second one, you're trying to create an instance of a class, coldfusion.runtime.SessionTracker that is proprietary to CFMX and therefore doesn't exist in BlueDragon. If you can tell me what you're trying to accomplish, we'll see if we can figure out an equivalent way to do it in BlueDragon.

login management
On a similar topic to ongoing discussions... I have a few different areas of my site that I only want registered users to have access to. 1) I set up a session.allowed variable in my Application.cfm (defaulted to 0) if the variable isn't already present. Code: !--- set the default that a user has not been logged in --- cfif not isdefined(session.allowed) cflock name=setAllowed timeout=5 cfset session.allowed = 0 /cflock /cfif 2) I set up switches in the necessary pages to show a login include if the session.allowed var equalled 0. Code: cfif session.allowed eq 0 login:form actionpage=reservation.cfm cfelse What's Here? /cfif 3) I set up my check so that, if login was successful, the session.allowed var is set to 1. Code: cflock name=setAllowed timeout=5 cfset session.allowed = 1 /cflock After a user logs in I see, using debugging, that the var is now set to 1. But, when I go to another page (within the site), I see that the var is reset to 0. This shouldn't happen as the code in the App only sets to 0 if the var doesn't exist in the first place (see item 1 above for code). Anyone have any ideas?

Re: session management help please
I'm wondering why Nancy wants to end session variables in the way she describes. Perhaps there are other ways of achieving her goal. For example, perhaps a clunky one, she could set very short lived session variables and refresh them on each page request for another very short period of time. When the visitor leaves her site, the session will end shortly thereafter. - Regards, Bob Haroche O n P o i n tS o l u t i o n s www.OnPointSolutions.com [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Great points Jochem, as always.

As Jochem pointed out, you can not do this reliably with web applications. This has nothing to do with ColdFusion, per se, but rather with the very nature of HTTP. You can implement a client-side solution using _javascript_, but you can't guarantee that it will work in all cases, and if your goal is security, it would probably have to work in all cases to be effective. Why exactly do you want to log the user out if she goes to a different page, anyway? What if the user clicks the home button by mistake? For most applications, it's sufficient to ensure that the session is disconnected when the user closes her browser. You can do this by creating session cookies which are destroyed when the browser is closed.

Okay, I'm confused.

RE: Remember Me
Jim, Here's how I do that: First of all, the user checks a box that says remember me on my next visit.This checkbox is then tested for when I eval the form post.If the user requested remembrance, then cfcookie expires=NEVER name=TheField VALUE=#form.TheField# Where 'form.thefield' is also the form field name on the form itself. Next, when they come back to the form the field has this code in it: cfif isdefined (cookie.TheField) cfset variables.ThisValue=cookie.TheField cfelse cfset variables.ThisValue= /cfif input type=Text name=TheField size=35 maxlength=50 value=#variables.ThisValue# As to the second part of your question, there is a 'domain' attribute to cfcookie.I've never used it, but I wonder if specifying the domain you want in each would solve your second problem. Can't say that using cookies for storing login data gives me a warm fuzzy glow.I'd only do it if I had to and the client signed off on it.

Re: Remember Me
A persistent cookie (set with CFCOOKIE with an expiry) will handle your remember folks.So if they check the box then you set their session cookie with an expiry.If they don't check the box then set the cookie (non-persistent...in memory only and destroyed when browser closed) without the expiry (don't even use the expiry attribute in CFCOOKIE). That's the brute force of it.There is some fine tuning ...for example handling the cookie if someone changes their mind and no longer wants to be remebered you'll have to toast the persistent cookie and then set a non-persistent one.Beware of setting a cookie and then using CFLOCATION (cookie won't get set...will need a cfcontent/cfheader workaround).

Re: session management help please
the reason I would like to end sessions in thos way is the fact that a certain page on the site will have a chatroom on it. A user can spend a unknown amount of time there, then either surf to other sections of the site, of surf somewhere else. if the person does leave the site and then returns, I want them to have to sign in again. This is of course for reasons of security. I also will be adding a include file that that tells the number of active sessions out of the number of registered users. It will also include a link to see who is online. As you can see it will be wise to be albe to end a session if a user surfs away form the site. Any thoughts on this? thanks; Rino From: Bob Haroche [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: session management help please Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2004 12:33:46 -0800 I'm wondering why Nancy wants to end session variables in the way she describes. Perhaps there are other ways of achieving her goal. For example, perhaps a clunky one, she could set very short lived session variables and refresh them on each page request for another very short period of time. When the visitor leaves her site, the session will end shortly thereafter. - Regards, Bob Haroche O n P o i n tS o l u t i o n s www.OnPointSolutions.com [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
Re: Remember Me
- Original Message - From: Bryan Stevenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2004 3:51 PM Subject: Re: Remember Me A persistent cookie (set with CFCOOKIE with an expiry) will handle your remember folks.So if they check the box then you set their session cookie with an expiry. If they don't check the box then set the cookie (non-persistent...in memory only and destroyed when browser closed) without the expiry (don't even use the expiry attribute in CFCOOKIE). That's the brute force of it.There is some fine tuning ...for example handling the cookie if someone changes their mind and no longer wants to be remebered you'll have to toast the persistent cookie and then set a non-persistent one.Beware of setting a cookie and then using CFLOCATION (cookie won't get set...will need a cfcontent/cfheader workaround). Thanks.So it sounds like my thinking that this couldn't be accomplished only through CF client managment is correct. Why not just use the cookie in conjunction with a CF-managed session?Use the cookie to note who the returning visitor is, then look up their user record in a database and establish a new CF session, same as if they'd gone through a login form?

RE: login management
Not sure but you may consider a usertype schema -Original Message- From: Cutter (CF-Talk) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2004 12:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: login management On a similar topic to ongoing discussions... I have a few different areas of my site that I only want registered users to have access to. 1) I set up a session.allowed variable in my Application.cfm (defaulted to 0) if the variable isn't already present. Code: !--- set the default that a user has not been logged in --- cfif not isdefined(session.allowed) cflock name=setAllowed timeout=5 cfset session.allowed = 0 /cflock /cfif 2) I set up switches in the necessary pages to show a login include if the session.allowed var equalled 0. Code: cfif session.allowed eq 0 login:form actionpage=reservation.cfm cfelse What's Here? /cfif 3) I set up my check so that, if login was successful, the session.allowed var is set to 1. Code: cflock name=setAllowed timeout=5 cfset session.allowed = 1 /cflock After a user logs in I see, using debugging, that the var is now set to 1. But, when I go to another page (within the site), I see that the var is reset to 0. This shouldn't happen as the code in the App only sets to 0 if the var doesn't exist in the first place (see item 1 above for code). Anyone have any ideas?

RE: BlueDragon 6.1B2 issues
For the first one, if you remove the closing /cfhttp tag it will remove the error (the closing /cfhttp tag is unnecessary; if you remove it your code is still compatible with CF5/MX). This issue is documented in the BlueDragon CFML Compatibility Guide: BlueDragon does not support closing tags for tags that do not normally have a tag body. For this reason, BlueDragon does not support the optional use of a closing /CFHTTP when using METHOD='Get'. BlueDragon does, however, support the use of a closing /CFHTTP when using METHOD='POST'. Bingo! That worked! For the second one, you're trying to create an instance of a class, coldfusion.runtime.SessionTracker that is proprietary to CFMX and therefore doesn't exist in BlueDragon. If you can tell me what you're trying to accomplish, we'll see if we can figure out an equivalent way to do it in BlueDragon. Just trying to keep track of the number of sessions the application is maintaining (eg: 5 users are currently logged on). Thanks for the help.
