Server variable problem
Hi - Our school system is using three ColdFusion 5 servers to help students register. The three systems are clustered using a hardware switch. There are no concerns about session variables. The switch shuffles out incoming connections and pairs the incoming vs. server IP address in a cache for eight or so hours. Everything has been working fine for about six months. A week ago, the third server stopped working. It generally gives errors like Error resolving parameter ATTRIBUTES.ACTION I've chased down that error, forced the variable using CFSET just before and the template breaks again further downstream. I've run windiff to compare each template from server one against server three. They have the same exact code. They run on the same exact hardware platform. So, it must be a problem with the web/CF server itself. I uninstalled CF and reinstalled for kicks. That didn't help. Has anyone run into this problem before? I'd really appreciate some help on avoiding the same problem in the future. Luckily, this happened during our down cycle. But registration will start to bog down the other two servers in a couple of weeks.

OT: Forging a web page
Are there any tools that allow users change data in a cfm/html page? A fax of one of my web sites' pages made it to my desk yesterday. A student is challenging grades with a forged date in the banner of the web page. I know the date is forged because two separate systems have logged a different date for the activity. I'm curious to know how easy it is to copy a page, all files included, and then modify it. There's the right click save method and notepad, but this is a little too convoluted and tedious. Are there any click and point type browser/editor hybrids that get a page then allow editing the page? Thanks, Brian __ Your ad could be here.

Using array syntax with a query
Hi - I could really use some help getting at a query result in round about ways. Someone suggested to me that I could use array syntax to do this. Something along the line of: cfquery name=foo .../cfquery cfoutput query=foo #foo[1]# /cfoutput This doesn't work (just an example of what I'm hoping CF supports if the syntax is right). Is there any way to this? That is, address the data in foo without using any of the contents of columnlist? What's causing the problem is a DB2 stored procedure that is returning numbers for the column names. i.e. the column list is 1,2,3,4. The variable foo.1 is illegal in ColdFusion. It appears I can invoke the procedure just fine, I just can't get at any of the returned data! Thanks, Brian __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

DB2 stored procedure missing column names

Auto logout when leaving the application
What's the best way of handling security for a website that may be used in a kiosk mode? I'm working on a student grade system that does a one time validation and sets a session variable. Timeout is 15 minutes. John may log into the system using a lab computer to retrieve his student grades, become confused, wander to yahoo, read his mail, then leave the computer as is. Sue may come in to use the same machine, go to the grade application to get her grades, and still be logged in as John. Is there a good way to avoid this? I'm thinking about mangling the referer variable and zapping the session variables if the referer is not from the application. i.e. cfif left(CGI.HTTP_REFERER,X) is not http://www.gradesrus.com/; ... session.auth=0 That would solve the 'lost' client wandering out of the site. Leaving the site is equivalent to logging out then (more or less). What about a javascript warning when a person is going to leave the application? I'm not a javascript guru, but it seems like an onunload in the body should be able to give a popup alert and hopefully the ability to cancel the outside navigation. Anyone ever try it? Is there a better approach to this? Thanks!

As it is, I think MS SQL is probably the forerunning candidate because the name is recognized by the decision makers and they view it as having better support.

RE: RE: Code Red backdoor triggered?
Nimda can infect through shares. One of our internal development website (no outside access allowed per firewall rules) was hit through a D: drive share. It had us puzzled as well. It was patched and had no firewall access. I'm still piecing it together, but this is what I believe happened. A 'weak' public web server was online and part of our domain. It was not patched for the directory traversal exploit. It was infected with NIMDA. Someone later logged into that particular machine with domain admin rights. The virus then propagated to all shares on the network which allowed domain rights. Moral of the story for our group: don't trust any machines for which we are not specifically responsible. I think the patch is from Dec' 2000, although the 'cumulative' patch from Aug 2001 includes it. Eh, go figure. A couple of good practices helped isolate the damage. The OS is parked on C: which is not shared. All templates are on D:. As it turns out, we had a ton of .eml files littered throughout the D: drive, but no dll mods on C: nor none of the registry entries CERT listed. A simple restore on D: and a good packet sniffer is all we have done for now. And of course we stripped rights to the D: share down to the bone.

I'm trying to provide functionality to a select group of people on a specific subnet. What I'd like to do is something along the lines of.. cfif #cgi.remote_addr# is '192.168.5.0' Allow action /cfif The thing being they use dhcp to allocate IP's and the address could actually be any of the block. Is there a wild card I can use? or some other way to not specify the last number? Marcus ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Compacting .cfm files
Sorry if this is beating a dead horse. A search of the archives brought up similar questions, but didn't really approach a solution. I have a form that contains as many as 200 select boxes with about 6 options each and 200 more input boxes. I guess that there is some type of resource crunch (memory, widget handles, who knows) that causes the following error: when scrolling a large form, the select boxes begin to smear vertically. They become clumped together and function oddly (some still seem to work, although I can't tell what 'line' they belong to). It's in the project specs that I cannot break the form up... which throws out the 'display records 1-20 21-40' type solutions. The only thing I can think to do is tighten the cfm code up. Our shop is indent happy for readability. The indenting produces a LOT of whitespace (perhaps bloating the code as much as 100%). I've already added cfsetting tags to squash output on custom tags, queries, etc. But there is still a lot of whitespace in the other 'normal' code. Are there any utilities to obliterate whitespace in cfm files? Er, something along the lines of turning an indented file into a really long single string? Is there a code beautifier to do the opposite? Is this approach worthwhile? Thanks, Brian ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Whoa. Great entertainment value too. Honey, cancel that trip to Cancun.

Does anyone know of a kit I could install to stiffen up the springs? I was thinking about removing the tailgate to reduce the overall weight of the load. Get new specs.
