Re: OT ISAPI Rewrite
Russ, Don't take it the wrong way but no one, as far as I have seen over the years has *ever* recommended or bashed one web server over another on such a blatant scale :-). It is not constructive to say that IIS is inferior and does not show good etiquette IMO - a bit like the PC v Mac debate I thought we all grew out of. I have used both Apache and IIS, and am completely agnostic when it comes to serving pages. Here are my thoughts on what I found (when working with ColdFusion). Out of the box install, there really is nothing to seperate them - on Windows at least. Both have a next, next finish process and Adobe do all the rest of the work with the web connector. IIS is without doubt easier to manage due it's GUI nature as you noted and I wouldn't choose a product based on that but it is a major factor. If you had to choose between Word Processing the way we used to over using Word or some other easier to use GUI based system you would choose the latter, anyone would, it's one of the reasons IIS is attractive and why it is usually the web server of choice for beginners etc. I never really found Apache hard to configure as like most on the list, I was and am familiar with config files. Most mods I worked with had installers so I was never really had to go out of the box to configure. It can be daunting with Apache when you need to start fiddling with the config by hand and I can see why someone would shy away from it back to IIS. If Apache had a GUI like this (I never found one when I was working on it) it would be great but not make it any better or superior.. I am not sure what you mean about managing / storing configuration files in Source Control, control log files or use authentication other than AD... All are certainly possibly and bread and butter stuff to IIS. From these comments, I would suggest it is you who goes down the research route and objectively look at IIS rather than letting your obvious prejudice get in the way. I did find Apache served pages faster than IIS during load testing etc. Also, if you want to use .NET, AFAIK the only supported route is to use IIS. My biggest point of note with using Apache was that if I used it daily I wouldn't want to use it with JRUn, I would want to use Tomcat, but last time I checked the latter was not suported by Adobe. I did dabble with getting Tomcat to talk to ColdFusion either via the APR within Tomcat and also via a mod connector to Apache, it was a nightmare, it worked but it wasn't easy. The last point of note was that nearly all of the stuff on Apache is based around non-Wndows platforms which can make it hard to debug. I am not saying there are no resources just that a Google displayed more non-Windows results so you can see why that is not attractive to the inquisitive web server searcher...

Most people here say that they choose not to use Apache because it's harder to configure, but my experience has been quite the opposite. Just because Pete decided to waste $99 per server on ISAPI rewrite, it doesn't mean that he can't see the light and start using Apache and all the power and flexibility that comes with it. If Apache is not an option for Pete, he can say so, but just because he's using IIS and has already bought ISAPI rewrite, doesn't necessarily mean that he has to stick with an inferior product. Before you make blanket statements like saying that there is no advantage of Apache over IIS on the windows box, I suggest you do you research. When this thread came up before, it was basically decided that both Apache and IIS are good servers on windows, and which one is has the advantage is really based on your needs. IIS is arguably slightly better for hosting ...NET applications as well as doing integrated authentication, while Apache is better when you want to have control of you configurations, keep the configuration files in source control, have control of your log files, ability to use a

The language you specified, english, does not match the collection language of french. Even though we specify French in the CFIndex tag, Verity receives that we specified English. We have 800 collections involving many different languages. We assume that this would fail for all languages, not just French, but we haven't taken out French to test this. Help!

Which I am not sure if you have, so if you need to switch to a particular version you can change branch from that project only, or if you need to check out you check out from that project.

RE: Subversion questions
There are some standards (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.branchmerge.maint.html) that people tend to adhere to, but the structure of your repositories is not the most important factor. The processes on how your developers use the repositories is. As long as you have a solid process that everyone adheres to, and it works for your layout, then there's nothing wrong with it. I create a single respository for every project, but I have also seen some companies that create more global respositories, like you do, that hold a certain collection of projects (intranet, internet, flash, etc). Also, as the article I linked explains, if you believe that your current system isn't flexible, or is causing problems, rearranging the respository structure is very easy.

It seems as though your repository structure is working well for you, it seems the only problem is the project properties.

RE: Subversion questions
As the book says, there's no right way. They do their best to explain how it works and how others use it, and leave it to you to figure out what works best for you. If the different subdomains are truly separate, with separate developers, I'd be inclined to use different repositories. That way, version numbers would more accurately reflect the work performed. We're using SVN to manage a large code base, but it's all one application with different sub-sections. SVN works well enough for what we're doing, but the real trouble is deployment. What we're looking at doing is using Ant to manage deployment - we need to track the code going to cfusion/customtags, as well as Java classes in runtime/lib and other code outside the webroot. Couple that with dropping code onto dev, beta and production systems that have dissimilar filesystem layouts, and it's tricky. -Original Message- From: Rick Root [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 8:43 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Subversion questions So we've been using Subversion to track changes to our web site applications for a few months now, and I don't think we're doing it right when I set up the subversion server originally, I set up a single repository which holds everything we want to maintain version control for... each web site is a subdirectory of the main repository. so on my computer, I have a working copy of the repository that looks like this: D:\work\ads\* (www.it.dev.duke.edu) D:\work\advanceweb\* (advanceweb.ads.duke.edu) D:\work\stockgifts\* (stockgifts.duke.edu) Additionally, all of my flex projects are stored in D:\work\flexProjects\* The problem here of course is that *ALL* of the flex project files are part of version control, including the project properties and such... which seems to make life difficult for having multiple developers working on the same flex application.

Yes, I think it best to split out the Flex from the HTML/ColdFusion/PHP. We tend to have XXX-client and XXX-server projects for any given application, both just hung off the svnroot.

RE: How to Random Pick records from a 10k record table via SQL
What they are saying is basically adding a column to your query that will be a random string (rand or newid shown) and then order by this column and you should have a list created that is quite random in nature. (though rand() doesn't appear to work that well) fast and straight forward and you don't have to worry about doing iterations and not selecting the same row. never had a need like this so I have been playing with it myself. interesting. -Original Message- From: Jeff Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 9:45 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: How to Random Pick records from a 10k record table via SQL Just selecte top 20 like russ said and order by rand() instead of newId() Correct me if I'm wrong, by all means, but selecting the top 20 from 10,000 records is about as far from random as you can be, isn't it?

RE: How to Random Pick records from a 10k record table via SQL
The newID() function generates a new identifier for the rows in the table. So when you order by newID(), it is ordering the records in the table by a new database generated and unique ID that will change with each query. The select top 20 is simply limiting the return to 20 records. It will not necessarily be the first 20 records in the table, rather the first 20 records with respect to the new identifier. Since the identifier will change each time, the 20 returned records will change each time. The merits if the randomness of the newID() function is debatable. But for all intents and purposes you will get random results. I'm pretty sure this is the preferred method of getting random records from a table in SQL Server.

RE: OT ISAPI Rewrite
Neil, It can be daunting with Apache when you need to start fiddling with the config by hand and I can see why someone would shy away from it back to IIS. If Apache had a GUI like this (I never found one when I was working on it) it would be great but not make it any better or superior.. Apache has several GUI editors most notably Webmin and ApacheConf. I have never found a need for one however, as the configuration files are well commented, and the online help is pretty easy to use. I am not sure what you mean about managing / storing configuration files in Source Control, control log files or use authentication other than AD... All are certainly possibly and bread and butter stuff to IIS. From these comments, I would suggest it is you who goes down the research route and objectively look at IIS rather than letting your obvious prejudice get in the way. If you want to back up IIS configuration, you need to use a special program to back it up, while with Apache you can just back up the configuration folder with any backup software you choose. With Apache, you can store your configuration files in subversion, and easily replicate your configuration throughout the enterprise, while with IIS, even if this is possible, it will surely require some expensive MS or third party solution. You can't really control log files as far as I know in IIS. Yes, you can pick the folder where you will store all the log files for all your sites, and you can pick the general formats and some of the fields, but you can't choose the exact folder and the file name of the log files, or when they will be rotated. Personally I prefer having my log files be c:\logs\sitename.com\sitename-ddmm.log, instead of being c:\logs\W3SVC1258012117\exddmmyy.log. There are also other things that IIS can't do out of the box. URL rewriting is a huge thing. Mod_rewrite is free, and well supported, while with IIS, you have to go with third party solutions. Apache also supports wildcards in many places out of the box, while with IIS, you can't even do simple things like *.domain.com to offer custom subdomains, because IIS (even version 7) doesn't support wildcards in hostheaders. The only way to do this is to dedicate an IP to the virtual server, which IMHO is overkill. I did find Apache served pages faster than IIS during load testing etc. I haven't tested this with recent versions of IIS, but in the past we've also found Apache to be faster. Also, if you want to use .NET, AFAIK the only supported route is to use IIS. Mod_mono allows you to run .NET pages on many different platforms including windows and linux. Mod_aspdotnet is another third party module that runs ..NET apps albeit on windows only. My biggest point of note with using Apache was that if I used it daily I wouldn't want to use it with JRUn, I would want to use Tomcat, but last time I checked the latter was not suported by Adobe. I did dabble with getting Tomcat to talk to ColdFusion either via the APR within Tomcat and also via a mod connector to Apache, it was a nightmare, it worked but it wasn't easy. We use it with JRUN, but you can use it with any other server by using proxying, even if a connector is not available. You can, for example, use proxying instead of mod_jrun and use the internal JRUN webserver. The last point of note was that nearly all of the stuff on Apache is based around non-Wndows platforms which can make it hard to debug. I am not saying there are no resources just that a Google displayed more non-Windows results so you can see why that is not attractive to the inquisitive web server searcher...

Re: maxlength on text area - how to approximate
function checkLength(textarea)
{
var maxLength = 10;
if (textarea.innerHTML.length maxLength)
{
textarea.innerHTML = textarea.innerHTML.substring(0, maxLength);
}
}
Do that onkeydown and onblur and it should be good enough?
Does anybody have a really good way to create the equal of maxlength
on a text area? The server running site in question is only running CF 6
something, not 7, so cftextarea won't work...
I've tried a couple of javascript ideas, and as long as you're typing
input, it works. But, everything I tried so far will allow pasting more
than the max set.
I'm checking server side before the data insert, but the client wants to
see something client side while the form is being filled out.
Ideas?

RE: OT ISAPI Rewrite
Again, this is where you need to do your research. Within IIS you can change not only the name of the log file (though it uses W3C Extended Log File Format), but also where it goes and how often it rotates etc. You can export and backup a metabase via right-click Backup / Restore Configuration...doesn't get any simpler than that and all out of the box. Mod_mono allows you to run .NET pages on many different platforms including windows and linux. Mod_aspdotnet is another third party module that runs ...NET apps albeit on windows only. I said, supported, these are not supported...by Microsoft. -Original Message- From: Russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 April 2007 16:26 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT ISAPI Rewrite Neil, It can be daunting with Apache when you need to start fiddling with the config by hand and I can see why someone would shy away from it back to IIS. If Apache had a GUI like this (I never found one when I was working on it) it would be great but not make it any better or superior.. Apache has several GUI editors most notably Webmin and ApacheConf. I have never found a need for one however, as the configuration files are well commented, and the online help is pretty easy to use. I am not sure what you mean about managing / storing configuration files in Source Control, control log files or use authentication other than AD... All are certainly possibly and bread and butter stuff to IIS. From these comments, I would suggest it is you who goes down the research route and objectively look at IIS rather than letting your obvious prejudice get in the way. If you want to back up IIS configuration, you need to use a special program to back it up, while with Apache you can just back up the configuration folder with any backup software you choose. With Apache, you can store your configuration files in subversion, and easily replicate your configuration throughout the enterprise, while with IIS, even if this is possible, it will surely require some expensive MS or third party solution. You can't really control log files as far as I know in IIS. Yes, you can pick the folder where you will store all the log files for all your sites, and you can pick the general formats and some of the fields, but you can't choose the exact folder and the file name of the log files, or when they will be rotated. Personally I prefer having my log files be c:\logs\sitename.com\sitename-ddmm.log, instead of being c:\logs\W3SVC1258012117\exddmmyy.log. There are also other things that IIS can't do out of the box. URL rewriting is a huge thing. Mod_rewrite is free, and well supported, while with IIS, you have to go with third party solutions. Apache also supports wildcards in many places out of the box, while with IIS, you can't even do simple things like *.domain.com to offer custom subdomains, because IIS (even version 7) doesn't support wildcards in hostheaders. The only way to do this is to dedicate an IP to the virtual server, which IMHO is overkill. I did find Apache served pages faster than IIS during load testing etc. I haven't tested this with recent versions of IIS, but in the past we've also found Apache to be faster. Also, if you want to use .NET, AFAIK the only supported route is to use IIS. Mod_mono allows you to run .NET pages on many different platforms including windows and linux. Mod_aspdotnet is another third party module that runs ...NET apps albeit on windows only. My biggest point of note with using Apache was that if I used it daily I wouldn't want to use it with JRUn, I would want to use Tomcat, but last time I checked the latter was not suported by Adobe. I did dabble with getting Tomcat to talk to ColdFusion either via the APR within Tomcat and also via a mod connector to Apache, it was a nightmare, it worked but it wasn't easy. We use it with JRUN, but you can use it with any other server by using proxying, even if a connector is not available. You can, for example, use proxying instead of mod_jrun and use the internal JRUN webserver. The last point of note was that nearly all of the stuff on Apache is based around non-Wndows platforms which can make it hard to debug. I am not saying there are no resources just that a Google displayed more non-Windows results so you can see why that is not attractive to the inquisitive web server searcher... It's true that Apache was originally written for Unix/Linux, but with version 2.0, it has been rewritten to be totally OS agnostic. I find it easier to debug, as you can just open up the error log, or run the apache binary in a command prompt to see what the problem is.

Well, we're not so much a commercial shop... we develop applications internally for our own purposes. The tricky part is cases where applications share files for example, I have an include directory at my web root which contains images, css files, and a few cfm files that are used not only across various applications within the main web site, but across multiple web sites as well through the use of IIS virtual directories and coldfusion mappings. I've also gone back in forth between locating cfcs within the application architecture ( /tools/appname ) and within a shared components directory structure that is accessible to multiple web sites as well through coldfusion mappings. Right now, my working copy directory structure mimics my Inetpub folder on the server ... ie... E:\Inetpub\ads E:\Inetpub\stockgifts E:\Inetpub\giftrecords And my working copy is all in D:\work ... D:\work\ads, D:\work\stockgifts, etc. Maybe it would be a better idea to create a repository for individual applications and try to mimic the directory structure within those applications..

RE: OT ISAPI Rewrite
Well you can easily just create a logs/[sitename]/logfile structure in IIS and point each site to their corresponding log folder, we do it all the time. I'm still not seeing how to do this. I guess I can theoretically point each website to an individual folder, but then it will still create something like W3SVCX\exyymmdd.log. You don't have any control over this part. You also don't have control on what time the log file rolls over. Sure most people prefer 12am, but what if your servers are in a different time zone and you want it to roll over 11pm or 1am? Why is it an extra step to do that backup process? Of which can be automated anyhow. It is an extra step, whether you automate it or not. With Apache, it's just plain text files, and you can back them up without worry. You can also create a folder with all the virtual site configurations and have them generated automatically by coldfusion. For example, you can have a folder named vsites and you can have files such as sitename.com.conf which just needs to contain something like this: VirtualHost *:80 ServerName *.example.com DocumentRoot c:/websites/example.com/ /VirtualHost You can specify other options such as per site logging, but nothing else needs to be specified. I have just create a virtual site which will host all the subdomains for example.com, including www.example.com and user1.example.com and site2.example.com, etc. Try doing same with IIS without dedicating an IP to the site. You can have a directive in the main configuration file to include all the config files in this directory. Include conf/vsites/*.conf Voila. Have cf generate the text file, and restart apache to refresh the config, and you have just create an easy way to automatically create virtual sites. I wonder how long it would take you to do the same thing with IIS? We get very good support from Microsoft as and when we need thanks, we are a big customer of theirs :-) I am still yet to find a decent argument on why anyone should use Apache over IIS from your chosen arguments. True there is URL rewriting but then again, maybe you shouldn't need to do this if your website structures are friendly out of the box :-) It doesn't matter how good your website structures are, you need URL rewriting for SEO. It's also just a nice feature to have, and the possibilities with it are endless. Also lets say that someone else logs onto the box, and makes some configuration changes and breaks something.

RE: iSeries point to ColdFusion server direction...
Bob, I'm not familiar with the iSeries Apache Web server, but if you are using a standard apache web server, you would use the wsconfig program that gets installed with apache to connect to coldfusion. You can also manually copy over the mod_jrun22.so or mod_jrun2.so files and manually put in the configuration. Something like this: LoadModule jrun_module C:/JRun4/lib/wsconfig/mod_jrun22.so # JRun Settings IfModule mod_jrun22.c JRunConfig Verbose true JRunConfig Apialloc false JRunConfig Ssl false JRunConfig Ignoresuffixmap false JRunConfig Serverstore C:/JRun4/lib/wsconfig/1/jrunserver.store JRunConfig Bootstrap x.x.x.x:51002 #JRunConfig Errorurl optionally redirect to this URL on errors #JRunConfig ProxyRetryInterval 600 #JRunConfig ConnectTimeout 15 #JRunConfig RecvTimeout 300 #JRunConfig SendTimeout 15 AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws .cfm .cfml .cfc .cfr .cfswf /IfModule Hope this helps, Russ -Original Message- From: Bob Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 4:24 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: iSeries point to ColdFusion server direction...

Memory issues with new daylight savings update?
Hey all, lately, our server has been having some serious memory issues. We will get a lot of requests (which is normal) and the server can handle them... then, all of a sudden, it seems to choke and the requests start to queue up and the memory (monitoring in SeeFusion) maxes out and will not come down even when the requests die down. We cannot figure out what is going on as we have not done anything special lately. We thought maybe it was the JVM that was updated for the Daylight savings time. Has anyone noticed any memory issues after this update? Our JVM is 1.4.2_12 and we didn't have any of these problems until we upgraded the JVM using updater 7.02. Thanks! ..

Server side validation for checkboxes
I have a form with dynamic checkboxes and radio buttons. They output from my db tables that have tblanswersets (one) and tblanswers (many) I'm grouping some questions, then spitting out these items. It mostly works, except the checkboxes. Right now, my server side validation makes sure ANY group of checkboxes or radio buttons have at least one selection. When the form submits to itself, the values are saved and form items are pre-checked/selected if something's caught in the validation. But my checkboxes get caught if there isn't a selection. I've decided to add a field to tblanswersets - answersetrequired = yes/no I can output that somehow in my form inputs to setup some new validation routine.

I'm still not seeing how to do this. I guess I can theoretically point each website to an individual folder, but then it will still create something like W3SVCX\exyymmdd.log. You don't have any control over this part. You also don't have control on what time the log file rolls over. Sure most people prefer 12am, but what if your servers are in a different time zone and you want it to roll over 11pm or 1am? Why is it an extra step to do that backup process? Of which can be automated anyhow. It is an extra step, whether you automate it or not. With Apache, it's just plain text files, and you can back them up without worry. You can also create a folder with all the virtual site configurations and have them generated automatically by coldfusion. For example, you can have a folder named vsites and you can have files such as sitename.com.conf which just needs to contain something like this: VirtualHost *:80 ServerName *.example.com DocumentRoot c:/websites/example.com/ /VirtualHost You can specify other options such as per site logging, but nothing else needs to be specified. I have just create a virtual site which will host all the subdomains for example.com, including www.example.com and user1.example.com and site2.example.com, etc. Try doing same with IIS without dedicating an IP to the site. You can have a directive in the main configuration file to include all the config files in this directory. Include conf/vsites/*.conf Voila. Have cf generate the text file, and restart apache to refresh the config, and you have just create an easy way to automatically create virtual sites. I wonder how long it would take you to do the same thing with IIS? We get very good support from Microsoft as and when we need thanks, we are a big customer of theirs :-) I am still yet to find a decent argument on why anyone should use Apache over IIS from your chosen arguments. True there is URL rewriting but then again, maybe you shouldn't need to do this if your website structures are friendly out of the box :-) It doesn't matter how good your website structures are, you need URL rewriting for SEO. It's also just a nice feature to have, and the possibilities with it are endless. Also lets say that someone else logs onto the box, and makes some configuration changes and breaks something. Do you know what they changed? Do you know how to fix it? Do you feel confident enough to restore from backup? With apache, you can keep the configuration in subversion, and know EXACTLY what was changed since last commit. You can revert the changes, roll back to a previous version, and all the other goodies that come with SVN. Apache is a developer's web server. It turns the web server into something you can write code for. I, for one, want to see all the configuration details of a particular site right in front of me, without having to flip through 20 different tabs.

It's also just a nice feature to have, and the possibilities with it are endless. Also lets say that someone else logs onto the box, and makes some configuration changes and breaks something. Do you know what they changed? Do you know how to fix it? Do you feel confident enough to restore from backup? With apache, you can keep the configuration in subversion, and know EXACTLY what was changed since last commit. You can revert the changes, roll back to a previous version, and all the other goodies that come with SVN. Apache is a developer's web server. It turns the web server into something you can write code for. I, for one, want to see all the configuration details of a particular site right in front of me, without having to flip through 20 different tabs.

For what its worth Neil, I like like url rewriting schemes over publishing with the same physical directory structure for one reason: the urls stay the same even if the underlying organization changes. If I move from model-glue to Farcry or a bespoke solution or what have you, I can keep the same urls and just change the way that they are rewritten to accomodate the underlying structure. This is also true of switching between application servers, like php to cf. Urls should be consistent, descriptive and (optimally) not change. I find that the best way to achieve that is to abstract them away from the underlying details and consider them to be descriptors of the content to be presented.

Re: Another Subversion Question
Yeah, svn:externals is a working-copy concept that allows you to have your working copy split amongst several SVN destinations (and store that configuration in SVN itself for easy maintenance and reuse). It doesn't help you with local changes to the remote code (in fact, it prevents that arrangement, because changes to the remote code get committed to the remote repository). You're doing a vendor branch with SVK. The only difference is that you're using SVK to get the code into your SVN repository (in /trunk), rather than using a source drop from the external project (the usual route). There's no difference between the approaches past that step, so you're doing exactly the recommended thing. cheers, barneyb On 4/2/07, Zaphod Beeblebrox [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hmmm...I was thinking svn:externals was more for your working copy.

I believe you could use JavaScript's onUnload function to kick of an Ajax call.

Again, Google does not provide details about their page rank algorithms, and they change these algorithms pretty frequently. And again, in any case, if you want to achieve that outcome, you can just configure CF to process requests with .html in the URL pattern. The argument against doing CF to do the URL rewriting is that Apache is faster ... I am unwilling to waste my time in a pointless, inane argument with you about web servers, since when it comes to this subject you are, by any useful definition of the word, a troll. This is cf-talk, not web-server-talk. You seem to be drawn to every IIS configuration question like a moth to a flame. But that's your problem, not mine. Anyway, there are obvious arguments in favor of embedding that kind of functionality in an application: portability, easy programmatic modification, the ability to generate rewrite rules from a database query, etc, etc. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.
