Re: CFImage Error... Unsupported Image Type??
I've just finished working on a photo gallery and now that the client is using it she has an image that is coming up Unsupported Image Type Funny thing is that it's a JPEG that she cropped in Photoshop. Any ideas? Hatton The first thing that came to mind when I read this was progressive JPEG's. They always screwed me if I didn't accomodate them in cffile. Maybe cfimage has a hard time with'em?

RE: The unofficial ahphosting status thread
I was referring to CF 8 specifically. I could get http access, but when I couldn't get my sites, I would RDC into the server just to find out that CF had gone offline. I would restart it and all was well. If that happens, I might as well not have http period. It's been running without problem for the last 24 hours, so I hope that tells me most of the problems are being solved.

Re: The unofficial ahphosting status thread
The biggest issue I have now is that CF 8 is going down at least once per day and I have to logon via RDC and restart it. Anyone else with site running seeing this behavior? The box I was on never did come back up at all, as Greg put it, it's toast. I'm very glad I didn't wait it out and am running elsewhere nowI really felt I didn't have much choice to at least temporarily move but I've definitely decided it's a permanent move at this point. I realize that the problems were caused by the bad install from his vendor, but this is just the kind of thing that there is always more risk with when using smaller hosts. So I just feel move comfortable being with a larger host that even in the event of something like this happening, has more wherewithal to get people onto other boxes and not just leave them dead in the water for days on end. I'm still waiting for him to zip up and email me some stuff that I had someone else working on and unfortunately hadn't thought to set up a backup for, but I did tell him there's no rush as long as he can get it to me sometime this weekend. Hopefully he'll come through on that. I sure hope your issues are corrected soon. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some legal action against SWSoft after this, I'm sure his financial loses have been pretty bad. I had my share of loses this week too, not the least of which was a contract for a customer that refused to wait while I took care of all the sites and email accounts that were down. This is the 3rd time I've had to switch hosts in the last 4 or 5 months...I really hope I don't have to do this again anytime soon! ~| 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:299785 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Reporting system too heavy
Hi... I have reporting system that is causing big problems. This is a e-commerce website that runs heavy database transactions every day. We have a web-based (coldfusion) system that displays daily/monthly/yearly sales reports. It runs heavy queries on a single page that do hundreds of complex queries running multiple Select Count(), Select Sum() queries. Some reports take as long as 10 minutes to load just plain text. I want to build a new reporting system that stores the cumulative results of the historical reports in a table, and then whenever a new transaction comes in, I want to simply increment the previously stored results by one. In that sense I am always keeping a running count of the report results. I want to build a cfc/custom tag that keeps a track of new transactions at all times. That is just an overview of what I want to do.

Re: Reporting system too heavy
What database are you running? Things like this are much better left to the database than the web server. For example, on Oracle I'd write a stored procedure to calculate and return each report's data, then use CF/Flex to show the resulting data. Or I'd make an Oracle view, depending on how complex the query is. It's is amazing what you can do with good query optimization and use of the inherent features found in the database. I do things in Oracle I would never attempt with CF and do them efficiently and fast. I can't remember the last time I wrote an actual query in CF -- almost everything is stored procedures. You can also set up the database to do an increment like you want using triggers, etc. My caution there is that an e-commerce site often needs blazing speed and you'll want to do a lot of testing to be sure you don't slow it down. If you have the knowledge and access to the database, I strongly recommend you let the db handle the data crunching and CF handle the output of the data.

RE: The unofficial ahphosting status thread
I'm sorry for your losses, Mary Jo. For now, I'm staying put with AHP. I just hope this is a once-in-a-decade freak problem. Even though I'm sticking with AHP, I still want some kind of failover, or at least an alternate host I can turn to quickly. I'm going to ask Greg about some kind of failover setup, where, when he installs updates of any kind, if something goes wrong, that backup system can be brought online quickly, with just the change of an IP for the DNS. I want a duplicate setup, up-to-date and ready-to-go at a moment's notice. I'd be willing to pay another 50% of my regular cost for another Virtual Server acting as failover. I may never use it, but with problems like these, I need it. If I have to, I could create a duplicate setup with another host if Greg can't completely isolate the live systems from the backups. I guess I could always get a cheap shared solution to turn to in case of an emergency. I could run MySQL SQL scripts to setup and populate the db's, change the DNS IP, and upload my sites in short order. Then once the VPS is back online, I can just pull everything from the shared host and push it back to the VPS to bring it up-to-date. Using the shared host as a backup for a VPS may be problematic. What solutions for this problem are others of you using? And, btw, Mary Jo, would you mind telling us what host you decided to move to?

Re: The unofficial ahphosting status thread
I talked to Greg right before Shabbos and he gave me a breakdown of what happened: --- 1. I requested support on an swsoft product. 2. I was instructed to upgrade as that issue I had was addressed in the upgrade to 4.0 3. I have been around long enough to know that you never load the first release of a new product with out testing. 4. I installed VZ on three servers at my home. I tested all aspects of the software creating migration clone etc. I had no problems outside of path issues on the virtuozzo back up - I use network drives and they want it on the same server 5. I tested a single production server before running the network install that same Firday. 6. Everything seemed fine so we proceeded, (we being myself and SWSoft technician) to upgrade the rest of the server. THE FALL OUT It took about 6 hours before I noticed that things wee starting to bounce on my monitor page. But noting made sense, stuff was all over the place. I first assumed denial of service attack but was wrong. It was simply the VZCORE.SYS drivers becoming more an more corrupted. As this took place the server got more un-stable and then the first BSOD. Next thing I know I am dancing in a sea of blue screens. --- So do I plan to stay with AHPHosting? Yes. Do I blame them for what happened? No. Could this have happened to anyone? Yes. Are SWSoft in trouble? Most probably. Greg isn't the only one bitten by this, just the one we see. ~| 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:299789 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: Reporting system too heavy
Hi... I have reporting system that is causing big problems. This is a e-commerce website that runs heavy database transactions every day. We have a web-based (coldfusion) system that displays daily/monthly/yearly sales reports. It runs heavy queries on a single page that do hundreds of complex queries running multiple Select Count(), Select Sum() queries. Some reports take as long as 10 minutes to load just plain text. I want to build a new reporting system that stores the cumulative results of the historical reports in a table, and then whenever a new transaction comes in, I want to simply increment the previously stored results by one. In that sense I am always keeping a running count of the report results. I want to build a cfc/custom tag that keeps a track of new transactions at all times. That is just an overview of what I want to do. I want to invite ideas and experiences about such or similar problems that any of you may have come across and shed some light on some specifics of how you dealt with the issue. Running reports against transactional (OLTP) databases often causes this problem, as transactional databases are designed and optimized for adding and changing records, not for reading large numbers of records, aggregating values, etc. You might want to consider using an OLAP database for reporting. OLAP databases are optimized for reporting, instead of processing transactions. To oversimplify a bit, OLAP databases are denormalized, and therefore much faster for reporting. Typically, for this you'd periodically migrate data from your OLTP database to OLAP.

RE: CF8 server - IIS restart when using Web Server Config tool
We've been having some major problems with this Web Server Config tool. Not only is it buggy and seems to kill some of our important clients, but every time a website is added to IIS and it needs assigned to a CF instance, this tool asks to restart the web services for the entire server. Why not just have it configure all virtual servers, instead of rerunning it for each virtual server?

RE: CF generated WSDL (from SSL-requested CFC) does not have HTTP S endpoint.
The webserver the CFC's exist on is SSL enabled, but the WSDL's being generated (when calling the CFC with ?wsdl) have an endpoint that is non-ssl. ... Is this a known issue with 6.1 or CF in general (I don't have any newer versions on SSL to test), or is there something else going on that I'm not grokking? I don't know if it's been resolved in CF 8, but you can work around this by saving the WSDL, editing the endpoint, and using the static WSDL URL for your clients.

RE: Client Storage
Is there any reason not to share the same client storage database between multiple ColdFusion servers? We have 9 servers which all store their client variables in the same database. This is common for clustered servers. You'll probably want to enable domain-specific cookies with the SETDOMAINCOOKIES attribute of CFAPPLICATION, or its Application.cfc equivalent, if the servers are clustered. If the servers aren't clustered, you might run into a collision between the cookies set by two different cookies, so it might not be a good idea to use a shared database.
