All I can say is that my experience has been completely the opposite. I've hosted with them for over 9 years now and have seen no reason to switch. I get quality, feature-rich hosting with liberal bandwidth and storage space limits. Hosting that also happens to be cheap. I find them very communicative (one of my biggest complaints about most hosts) and feature-rich. I'm not sure if I would recommend an amateur host with them as they do lean towards self-service as much as possible (one of the reasons, I suspect, that they can keep such low prices). They have an excellent customer knowledgebase and support information and support ticket system but would clearly rather limit human interaction to a minimum. To this end they have a very feature-rich, constantly evolving control panel, one that allows me to perform many tasks that I might otherwise have to submit a request for. > Of course I pay for this but to me it's worth it.

If thats not a I honestly have no idea what you're talking about... one of the fundamental aspects of CrystalTech (and many other hosts) is that YOU run your business. They do everything they can to ensure that your customers are NOT aware that you're hosting at CrystalTech. They're customer control centers are generically branded as all customer-facing services - they abstract themselves out of the picture as a feature. The whole idea is that you can tailor your service to your clients. Your clients don't call Crystal Tech - they call YOU and, if you need to, you call CrystalTech. You determine the level and quality of service - all CT provides is the iron and pipe. That's not a business model that everybody wants but it is their business model. They stick to it. If that's not what you want then CT is clearly not even an option... and criticizing them for it seems silly. It's like complaining that your local muffler shop doesn't do body work... that's just not a business they support. I can only relay my personal experience... and my personal experience has been excellent.

That has been my experience with them in the past as well. HMS definitely seems to be better in this respect (although when my software customers go to them before me about any issues they are having, they often get some really wacky responses. It always depends on who you get when it comes to good tech support.) > The bottom line is that if you want or are gunna be cheap then you > will not be getting the "holy grail", you will simply be getting > "cheap hosting". Very true. I will say that I was in the same position and decided that I really need to go with a VPS for better reliability, and have been pretty happy with AHPHosting.net. They give $10/month off their plans for my customers (or using the coupon posted on this site) and while their have been some bumps recently, the guy that runs it works tirelessly to keep servers up and problems fixed. I've been very impressed with the service and options for the price. I host a handful of other sites for friends and family that don't have any full server access to the VPS and helps alleviate the extra cost. Viviotech.com is another option for real low-cost VPS hosting. Their Linux VPS with BlueDragon is pretty much the cheapest semi-dedicated option for CFML hosting you'll find. I had some problems when I tried them with downtime from power outages, but supposedly they have been getting up with some generators recently, so less of an issue. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299181 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: SOT: Holy Grail? Hosting?
sure you can get a cheap server there and get 0 support. And when you do need support (talking about crystal tech) they will ream the crap out of you in charges. The bottom line is that if you want or are gunna be cheap then you will not be getting the "holy grail", you will simply be getting "cheap hosting". HMS techs are good but some are also new and of course they won't know everything yet and well that's part of your cheap hosting. CT techs are complete morons, havent talked to one yet who knew anything about anything. Now if you start paying for better hosting everything gets better, for example on my dedicated box at HMS I have a direct line # to the dedicated team and if none are there it gets picked up by the highest level tech there and it gets taken care of on the spot. Of course I pay for this but to me it's worth it. For ex: if one of my customers needs help they can call anytime and get helped by HMS, Now say one of jims clients has problems and cant contact jim and hes on a $90 ded box at CT then that client is Sh*T Outta Luck! If thats not a concern for you then don't pay for the support. But myself when I got 60 something clients on a box and 20+ more on the way, I want to know that they will be taken care of, I don't care what the cost is. The other option is to buy a server and send it in for co-lo. I just sent in an apple xserve to HMS and it will cost me less that $150 a month to be managed and for support. And im sure you could get a server fairly cheap. Personally, I wouldn't go anywhere but HMS, they are far and away the best host I have ever dealt with. Jim brings up a very good point and that is that cfm wasn't made for shared hosting and that really is IMO its only real drawback. If you got any of Wills sites on your server then it's gunna be crashing like crazy!! haha jk >> Unfortunately Will, the $130+/month for VPS is not covered by my >> criteria of > >Speaking of CrystalTech - you can get an actual dedicated server (not a VPS) >for $90 a month (even cheaper for Linux). > >I've had one for years: I host something like 20 sites and have complete >control. > >I've actually never had a serious problem with CT and CF, but clearly others >have.

I've had one for years: I host something like 20 sites and have complete control. I've actually never had a serious problem with CT and CF, but clearly others have. In my experience CF really isn't a good choice for shared hosting. It's technically possible but there's a lot of technical limitations that cause problems.

RE: SOT: Holy Grail? Hosting?
Unfortunately Will, the $130+/month for VPS is not covered by my criteria of 'inexpensive'. I actually had a long conversation with them and their shared was ideal until they confirmed that I would need create a separate hosting account for each of the websites I wanted to move over. I heard a lot of great stuff about HMS. When I called I spoke to a tech support person. When I asked about the CF settings he was helpful and logged into the admin while I was waiting to confirm the information he had given me (without being asked). Is it possible that they have 'good' techs and 'bad' techs. (and a few Dorothys as well ('why, I'm nota a tech at all...')). William -- William E.

RE: OT - Box has been attacked by cowboy
I think it's closer to considering an attack on your box car theft. You left the window open, so someone opened the door, came in and messed with your radio stations and stole the change from the tray. (I'm not really sure what the damages were in your case). Is it not your own fault for leaving the window open? Maybe you forgot to close it, or didn't realize it was open. Either way you're responsible for securing your car. You probably just never though you'd be hacked because you have nothing worth stealing (not saying that you have nothing worth stealing, but this is how a lot of people think). Unfortunately there are script kiddies out there, and more hardened criminals that might be interested in just messing around, or stealing bandwidth (we were hacked once and they set up a warez ftp server). So if you have a firewall, please, please close off any unnecessary ports. Change all the default ports and usernames (except things like http/https of course). It might be a bit annoying to use at first, but you get used to it, and it's a small price to pay for security.

SOT: Holy Grail? Hosting?
Recently I have found a great need to find a new hosting company and have been looking for my personal 'Holy Grail' of shared hosting offers. I was wondering if anyone here has had any good or bad experiences with this company so that I don't take the wrong road. My criteria for 'Holy Grail' is: Inexpensive (always important), Multiple domain names can be served from same hosting and appear to be unique, allows access to cfobject and other CFC tags, preferably CF8. In my research the most often come across issue was the multiple domains to a single hosting account. The few that had it, disabled the cfobject tags and functions. Except this one: CrystalTech http://www.crystaltech.com/coldfusion8.aspx It's inexpensive (starting at $17/mo), is CF8, has extra domains, only has cfschedule/cfregistry/cfexecute restricted in their admin (spoke with tech support for this info). I can't find the kick in the pants. Anyone know them, or know of them? William -- William E. Seiter Have you ever read a book that changed your life?

RE: OT - Box has been attacked by cowboy
Jochem, We have blocked some of softlayer, of course. And, followed up with them as well. But, a related problem that we have had is that as we block these and other IPs, we have found that legitimate users are being blocked in some cases. It has turned out to be more difficult than expected to exclude only the "bad" IPs. That is, when a legitimate user complains about being blocked, their actual IP address is almost never actually blocked by us. So, then we have to try and figure out what IP is being blocked that is impacting them. That has been very difficult and we have not found a way to do it effectively. I have talked to others with more experience in this area and at least one person said that they eventually gave up and simply unblocked all US IPs, as in the following comment: - I usually leave it wide open in US/Canada/Europe and just block all the interesting countries. We dealt with it some on RealSelf, used one of the blacklisting tools... had a lot of the same issues - blocking lots of legitimate users and whole hosting providers. We ended up just opening it back up, and filtering by country - I know, I know... - So, in this scenario, if we unblock a lot of bad "Ips" in order to make sure that no legitimate users are impacted, then we are more vulnerable to hackers. And, even assuming that we have secured our servers, etc., it still consumes a lot of time and resources.

RE: OT - Box has been attacked by cowboy
Gerald, Yes, I am saying that the hosting business shouldn't be run like the car rental business in this regard. But, even so, that analogy doesn't hold a lot of water. Car rental companies do, in fact, screen their users. You have to have a valid license. You have to be of a certain age, and so forth. If you are a flagrantly reckless driver, or violate their terms, you will not be able to rent a car. And, most importantly, if you rent a car and crash into me, a car rental company won't hide your identity. In contrast, when I ask softlayer and other hosting shops to provide information about whose servers are actually launching the attacks, they never comply. So, yes, I am saying that they and their clients should be required to take some responsibility. When hosting companies let spammers run wild, they have come under pressure legally and more informally to do something about it and that is the direction I would like to see these kinds of issues go in.

Re: cf8 query weirdness

It is not returning a CF _named_ query. That is different than not returning any results. There is nothing that says a cfquery statement has to return a resultset (ie query with data). An UPDATE statement does not. I think you may be confusing the two. The first insert returns a rowcount. CF is treating that as a result. But since a rowcount is not a resultset (ie query with data), that is why your query variable is undefined. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299159 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

So say I had a string library called string.js and a library called date.js. I would like to include one default.js file in the site and dynamically load up the functions from string.js and/or date.js via an init method. Basically I want to load all libraries into one (factory.js) file. So say I had a function customSplitString(myString, delim) in string.js and a createCustomDate(month, day, year) function in date.js. Now I want someone to be able to write a function in their CFML that calls these functions. Here are a few examples: Inline in CFML. This example should only load date.js Function createSomeDate() { Var myDateMonth=2; Var myDateYear=2007; Var myDateDay=1; Return factory.date.createCustomDate(myDateMonth, myDateYear, myDateDay); } Inline in CFML. This example should only load string.js Function returnMyName(myName, delim){ Var myNameArr=factory.string.customSplitString(myString, delim); Return myNameArr.length(); } Inline in CFML This example would load string and date. Function returnMyName(myName, delim){ Var myNameArr=factory.string.customSplitString(myString, delim); Return myNameArr.length(); } Function createSomeDate() { Var myDateMonth=2; Var myDateYear=2007; Var myDateDay=1; Return factory.date.createCustomDate(myDateMonth, myDateYear, myDateDay); } So in the end nobody would call the string or date libraries independently.

OT: Creating a JS Library Init
I would like to create a factory.js file that has an init method that accepts an attribute of which library to load. So say I had a string library called string.js and a library called date.js. I would like to include one default.js file in the site and dynamically load up the functions from string.js and/or date.js via an init method. Basically I want to load all libraries into one (factory.js) file. So say I had a function customSplitString(myString, delim) in string.js and a createCustomDate(month, day, year) function in date.js. Now I want someone to be able to write a function in their CFML that calls these functions. Here are a few examples: Inline in CFML. This example should only load date.js Function createSomeDate() { Var myDateMonth=2; Var myDateYear=2007; Var myDateDay=1; Return factory.date.createCustomDate(myDateMonth, myDateYear, myDateDay); } Inline in CFML. This example should only load string.js Function returnMyName(myName, delim){ Var myNameArr=factory.string.customSplitString(myString, delim); Return myNameArr.length(); } Inline in CFML This example would load string and date. Function returnMyName(myName, delim){ Var myNameArr=factory.string.customSplitString(myString, delim); Return myNameArr.length(); } Function createSomeDate() { Var myDateMonth=2; Var myDateYear=2007; Var myDateDay=1; Return factory.date.createCustomDate(myDateMonth, myDateYear, myDateDay); } So in the end nobody would call the string or date libraries independently. There would only be one script include in the header of the application that loads factory.js. I've done this years ago but I can't remember how I did it. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299142 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

That seemed to work, but I don't think for the reason you specified. I have also gotten it to work this way My original query was something like this: Insert into sometable (somefields) Select somefields from someothertable Select SCOPE_IDENTITY() as someid Where someID= I have changed it to the following: Declare @someid integer Set @someid= Insert into sometable (somefields) Select somefields from someothertable Select SCOPE_IDENTITY() as someid Where [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think the cf engine has somewhere code similar to the following: If qrytext startswith "insert" or qrytext startswith "update" or qrytext startswith "delete" //null the query variable Qrynameref=null; Basically this is a bug in CF... how do we get them to fix it?

I wasn't aware that the default behavior of gzip was to delete the file being compressed and write the compressed file automatically, thus making the outputfile attribute unnecessary. Probably what was happening was a threading/race condition issue of some sort, where sometimes the outputfile attribute was overwriting the compressed file and sometimes not.

Re: A little CFEXECUTE help
Log all the paramters when making your cfexecute call, and whether it successfully created the file or not. Then look at both lists (the ones that worked, and the ones that didn't), and I'll bet a pattern will emerge. Spaces or bad characters in a filename perhaps? Surround the filenames with double quotes. Or perhaps output over a certain size is failing? I haven't seen it done the way you are doing it there (not that its wrong), passing the binary data through coldfusion by using the outputfile attribute. What attributes are you passing to gzip? By default it deletes the file you are compressing, so this should work: This should create a new file named #pathtofile#.gz, and the original #pathtofile# will have been deleted. -Ryan Josh Nathanson wrote: > Hey all, > > I'm trying to do a little CFEXECUTE magic on a Linux box, gzipping an xml > file on the fly. > > All is well except that the resulting file is occasionally empty.

RE: OT - Box has been attacked by cowboy
I realized that this last post seemed harsh, so I thought I'd clarify. My point is that since you're in the middle of this, there's better things to do than assess blame. I understand that you're upset and frustrated, but looking to point the finger to blame will not lead to anyone but yourself and that's not going to help you deal with this. If you desperately need to keep the server online, a quick fix is a small home based router / firewall that can hold you through while you sort this out.

Re: OT - Box has been attacked by cowboy
I know jack about cars. That's why I hire mechanics. If you don't feel competent regarding securing your server(s), hire someone who is. I completely understand not knowing that you are not secure enough the first time. However, complaining that you don't know enough and asking for a magic fix for security is not a reasonable solution. --Ben Doom Don L wrote: > >> On the contrary, it's the only useful answer.

I don't know how experienced with admining a windows box and do not want to offend. But if you are on a win box I wrote up a little security 101 off the top of my head. It is has been a few years since I did any sys admin work so others might want to chime in on things I over looked. - Disable the administrator account - Restrict access to remote desktop to one account with an obscure username - Make failed login attempts wait at least thirty seconds or a minute before logging in again - Run the Security Configuration Wizard (SCW) and lock down all ports, services and apps - Shut down all unneeded services. - Use ridiculous usernames and passwords. - Only allow local access (or one IP for dedicated DB) to database servers - Use an external, *hardware* based firewall - Keep everything patched and make sure you are on the security mailing lists for all third part apps, scripts and servers that you used. - Use AV, anti-spyware and anti-intrusion software And/Or get a server security suite by a reputable vender.

RE: OT - Box has been attacked by cowboy
I don't think any insult was meant, but you have to understand that for many companies, this is just one of the things they deal with on a regular basis. If you have a firewall and were breached, you need to find out how specifically how they got in. If you weren't breached, than for all intents and purposes, no harm... no foul, which by the way is exactly what the FBI or CSIS will tell you.

Evil doers must be stopped soon. Who exactly do you plan to sue? You have no idea who's responsible. All you know is the IP address used to launch the attack. Maybe you could sue SoftLayer for negligence - for not having adequate security in place - but then again, you obviously don't have adequate security in place either. You are equally negligent, at least. What are your monetary damages? The FBI will generally only pursue cases where there are significant, demonstrable monetary damages. Finally, strictly speaking, a port scan isn't really an attack, although it may be malicious in intent and may set off IDS alarms. I strongly recommend that you focus your efforts on securing your systems, rather than a legal approach.

A little CFEXECUTE help
Hey all, I'm trying to do a little CFEXECUTE magic on a Linux box, gzipping an xml file on the fly. All is well except that the resulting file is occasionally empty. It seems to work about 50% of the time, then the other 50% I get an empty .gz file. My code looks like this: The paths are all correct -- as I mentioned it does work about half the time so there are no path or permission issues. I also tried adding in the arguments -f (force) and -q (quiet), but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

RE: OT - Box has been attacked by cowboy
c. Figure out how they got in, reinstall the box, get a firewall and keep up on the latest patches. More then likely you are running sql on a default port on a public ip (a major no no). This combined with weak passwords for one of your accounts led to the compromise. BTW, FBI won't get involved btw unless there's over 10k in damages.

FCK Editor Issue
Good morning/afternoon everyone. So I pretty much have my FCK Editor working on our site but one issue is still puzzling me. When I try to load a document (word doc in this case), I get an error invalid file. I updated the config.js pages to allow the following files: config.allowedExtensions["File"] = "doc,rtf,pdf,ppt,pps,xls,csv,vnd,zip"; and still I get the error. I checked on-line and cannot find the answer to this issue. All others have been answered by Google. Thanks and have a happy Presidents Day in the US and happy Family Day to our friends up North.

Re: OT - Box has been attacked by cowboy
Have you blocked traffic from that IP at the firewall yet? Also, when I did a lookup of the IP, it was traced to a different domain for a company that provides hosting (gege-hosting.com) but it is not coming up any more. An online scan of the IP shows that the only open access is via windows Remote Desktop The company that you traced it to is a hosting company, they sell dedicated machines.

Re: OT - Box has been attacked by cowboy
You should contact softlayer.com and tell them that one of their (10,000) dedicated servers has been compromised. http://www.softlayer.com/ I have been hacked before. No fun at all. >> b) inform FBI. Good luck on that. Prolly one of 10 a bazzion script kiddies bouncing off of 1/2 a dozen proxies. Just sayin'. ;) I recommend getting a bunch of antivirus, spyware, root kit recovery programs and get busy. You are going to be at it for a while. These will get you going. Dr. Web AVG Unhackme root kit reveler Good luck and don't take it personally.

RE: CFwhaturl?
Man, I'm never going to shake this reputation for being a CF luddite! I'm using CF 8 for my dev box and VPS now! :o) (I do have to admit that my in-house server is running CF 4.5 until I can migrate all sites over to the VPS...) I'm trying! :o) That's ok, however.

If you are not going to generate another query then how is the existing query sorted? If sorted by Last Updated date either ascending or descending then the last updated will be either the first or last row in the query column_name[1] or column_name[#recordcount#]. If sorted by some other method then either use a query of query to obtain the Last Updated date, loop over the query to find the Last Updated date, or go back to the DB with another query.

If you don't manage to get what you're after. Just loop over the array and look for the string. Adrian -Original Message- From: cf coder Sent: 15 February 2008 17:11 To: CF-Talk Subject: regex help Hello everybody, I need some help with regular expressions. I'm trying to write a reqular expression that will return all the links on a page that contain a string in the query string. I found a UDF on cflib that returns a list of all the anchor tags on a page but I want to only return all href tags that contain the word "ProductID" in the query string ex: test Here is the udf, that returns all the links on the page. function hrefsToList(inputString) { var pos=1; var tmp=0; var linklist = ""; var delimiter = ","; var endpos = ""; if(arrayLen(arguments) gte 2) delimiter = arguments[2]; while(1) { tmp = reFindNoCase("]*>[^>]*", inputString, pos); if(tmp) { pos = tmp; endpos = findNoCase("", inputString, pos)+4; linkList = listAppend(linkList, mid(inputString, pos, endpos-pos), delimiter); pos = endpos; } else break; } return linkList; } Can someone please show me how to change the modify expression to return what I've explained above please?
