Re: Apache webserver and CF
Michael, Is there a database call in the Application.cfm file of your app? If there is it could explain the odbc error you are getting. As for the mappings/missing images where you using absolute or relative paths? Are the paths stored in the database as well? I would check this out first to be sure path info is correct for the machine you are currently on. Also I have worked on apps that have parsed the gettemplatepath() output to set the web root. If the actual paths are different on your machine than they were on the production box all links will be broken. Even if the directory configuration is exactly the same on the boxes if the production box is unix and you are using windows any paths based on the template path will be different (/ unix vs \ windows).

Re: CFSToredProcedures
Darren, I have run into this problem as well. One way I delt with it, if you have enough ram, is you can write the resultset to a session variable and reference it that wayI guess it depends on the size of the resultset and how many users will be making requests to the search engine as to whether this will be of any use in your situation. You can also code something into the Application.cfm page that would look for a certain url or form variable associated with the search results and if it wasn't there delete the variable holding the recordset so you didn't tie up resources when the user was no longer paging through the set.

We would love to be able to use ORACLE stored procedures to power a search facility on our site, but we have been bitten by one of the MAJOR shortcomings of CFSTOREDPROC. Whereas you can cache results sets using CFQUERY (CACHEWITHIN attribute), we don't seem to be able to do this with CFSTOREDPROC. We're trying to display the results of a large query using a pager . . . results 1-10 of 300, 11-20 of 300, next page, next page, etc etc. We've had to abandon the stored procedure approach, because to display page 2 we have to execute the stored procedure all over again and pull in the results with a REFCURSOR. If the results come from a CFQUERY there's no problem, displaying page 2 takes advantage of the cached results set and display is lightning fast without ever hitting the database. Unless I'm wrong this is something you really need to take into account when considering using stored procedures. If you want to be able to reuse the query results you really should use CFQUERY. -Darren ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Application varriables
I have seen alot of post lately about the "horrid deficincies" of using application variables. If application scoped variables are so "bad" why are they even offered as a solution? I have found that using application scoped variables work fine for the applications I have used them in. Admitidly we are using a single server and are not looking at clustering in the near future. However the applications where I use the session scope are fault tolerant in that if we do cluster the information contained within the session can be "rebuilt" transparently on an other server if one goes down. If you code for the possibility of this and the work-around is sound then what difference does it make if the variables are client or session scoped?

It seems most likely that there was some variety of a syntax error in the

the trees.
I'd suggest that when perplexed about a single line of code not functioning
properly, start by doing the old proof reading method of reading the line
backwards. Also I've occasionally found it helpful to print out the code in
color and then used various colored highlighters to mark up the code,
especially helpful with breaking down regular expressions.
Sorry that's a bit Off Topic and probably not real useful to advanced

As long as the quotes are around the variable name, then it will work -
unless you're running a not-upgraded version of CF (4.0 or 4.5 rather than
4.0.1 and 4.5.1 SP2)
I've never had a problem with isDefined(), and it's much easier to use

ParameterExists(), especially if you're using dynamic names
isDefined("form.#i#") is easier than Evaluate("ParameterExists(form.#i#)")

I have a ADSL (runs faster downstream than up) and have no trouble hosting web sites off of this setup. Jeffry Houser wrote: It depends upon the terms and conditions of her agreement with the DSL company. To host something, all you need is an internet connection. You can do it on a dial-up (although you won't get very good performance). All cable modem agreements I've seen forbid using the cable modem to host a server. DSL? Have her check her agreement. It would depend upon whether you have Asynchronous DSL or Synchronous DSL. (One has the same speed both ways, one is faster at downloading than sending, I forget which is which). I imagine same speed both ways would allow it, but one-way speed would not. Of course, that all depends on the agreement. At 05:53 AM 02/26/2001 -0700, you wrote: Sorry for the off-topic post.

Re: isdefined obsolete?
I have always had intermittent trouble with the isdefined() function most of the time it worked but in some instances it seemed not toI always got the functionality I needed back by switching to parameterexists(). I know isdefined is supposed o be the "preferred" method but it was inconsistent for me so I have ended up using parameterexists for all my variable checking needs. Just my experiences... yours are probably different, but I am sorry to see parameterexists() depreciated.

Re: isdefined obsolete?
Sorry to contadict you Adrian, but I can say with complete conviction (and no explanation at all) that these experiences did happen...I know that obviously a variable either exists or doesn't. That doesn't mean that in every instance a function will work though. I replaced the isdefined function (after checking to be sure the syntax was correct) with parameterexists and it worked. I switched it back to isdefined and it did not. I did it in more than one instance and I confirmed the issue and verified the results of the workaround with other cf programmers on site. Why would I say the problem did arise and have such a simple a workaround if it was a figment of my imagination or some other underlying issue totally seperate from the cf function? I do not remember what version of CFAS or on what platform it was running (I do know it wasn't 4.5x. I also no longer have the exact pages where I had the issue off the top of my head. I have been programming in cf for 5 years now so the jobsites where the pages reside are not necessarily available to me now anyway I replaced the isdefined function on them anyway so I couldn't find them even if I had access. All I am saying is that you cannot tell me what happened or that it could't without working on the applications I did in the environment I was working in. I always say "if it doesn't work do what it takes to corrrect it" In this case I did not get stuck on the fact that the problem was totally illogical. I simply made it work. In this case it was as simple as a change of function. I have seen postings up here for issues that should never have come up logically speaking yet they do. I would think it is more productive to say "that is an interesting issue...how did it happen" in any of these cases. Than to say "that can't happen because" Whenever I try that one on the users of applications I have worked on I am reminded that I do not have all the answers. sorry about the typo I hope I won't be graded on it ;-) Frederic Aidan Whitehall wrote: Oh yeah, I have the same problem. Sometimes functions work and sometimes they don't. I reckon it depends on the weather... Sorry to be sarcastic, but how can you say "most of the time it worked but in some instances it seemed not to" with any conviction? Variables either exist or they don't; there's not a lot of scope for anything in-between. I am sorry to see parameterexists() depreciated. I'm not. It's more to type;-) And it's "deprecated", BTW.

Re: isdefined obsolete?
If you see my previous response you'll see I tried all forms of syntax... even those I
"knew" were incorrect as stated the
problem was not logical so I tried illogical solutions as well.
This happened I would say two years or more ago... so I doubt very much I was using
4.5.1 as it hadn't been released...I only
mentioned the whole issue as an FYI. I see it did happen for someone else on the list
as well.

As long as the quotes are around the variable name, then it will work -
unless you're running a not-upgraded version of CF (4.0 or 4.5 rather than
4.0.1 and 4.5.1 SP2)
I've never had a problem with isDefined(), and it's much easier to use than
ParameterExists(), especially if you're using dynamic names
isDefined("form.#i#") is easier than Evaluate("ParameterExists(form.#i#)")
for obvious reasons although both should work exactly the same

Re: Fusebox
Just to insert my two cents worth, I inherited a site that I have now see was supposed to follow the fusebox methodology. It has been a nightmare trying to figure out what they were trying to do. I may be wrong but it seems to me that too have an include on the index page point to an action file that simply points to a display file was not the proper implementation. Just from looking the fusebox docs over once I see that what I would think is the proper implementation of this would be more like this 1)an include on the index page that points to an action file that does and action 2)an include on the index page below the action file that points to a query file 3)an include on the index page below the query file that points to a display file that may show the results returned based on the action and query file. Am I correct in this? I will admit that the methodology is a good thing to have to structure code and make it easier for a new programmer to come in and see what is going on. However in this case the documentation was nearly nonexistant and the fact that some of the includes stayed within the directory structure and others did not made this application extremely hard to follow. I am not the only programmer here that felt the same way about this application. I am not saying that the methodology is wrong...quite the contrary it seems to be simple and expandable. I am saying that no matter what methodolgy someone uses, the results you get will depend on how well you understand what the methodology is doing, how well you document your work and how closely you follow the specs of the methodology.

Re: CF 4.51sp2 Memory Usage Plateau
What versions of the net8 and mdac drivers are susceptable to the memory leak? Frederic Dave Watts wrote: At what point is memory usage excessive: When memory usage exceeds physical memory? When memory is x% of swap? Still trying to get a handle on what the memory plateau is for CF This is a hard question to answer. Generally, you want to assume that all available memory will be available (and potentially used) by CF - you don't want to run CF and other services on the same machine. Because of the performance penalty incurred by releasing and reacquiring memory, CF 4.5.x simply retains all memory used. So, the question becomes, how much memory does your application need? You can generally determine this by capacity planning tests. You want to provide as much memory in the server as your application requires - memory is cheap. The problem with CF 4.5.x memory allocation isn't that it might consume all the available server memory, but rather that if you have any memory leaks, the effects of those leaks will cause the server to run out of memory to consume; in this state, the server will eventually become unresponsive and will require a restart. The biggest cause of memory leaks, in my experience, has been the database drivers used by CF. For example, there are memory leaks in several versions of MDAC drivers, as well as within versions of the Oracle Net8 client.

Re: CF Hangs
We have always had trouble with cf on solaris doing this. the issue is much better with cf 4.51 sp1 though we still have problems. I have been told alot of the old code needs to be optimized (some pages seem to be running over 1000 miliseconds under noload conditions. We are running a single solaris quad processor machine with a gig of ram, apache/stronghold and oracle. Most of the issues in the longrunning pages seem to come from cf's inability to handle a pl/sql cursor in stored procs. The new version of cf and cf sqltype make it possible for us to go back and re-engineer these bottlenecks... I will trey to keep you updated on the performance improvements we get if youd like. On a related note we are getting a really strange error that kept cf and our site down for hours the other evening. We took down the databases for backup. Cold fusion errored out and then seemed to come back up (all the services said they were functioning) However we recieved the usual error you get when the server is down or restarting. In the mean time (6 hours) nothing was written to any of the cf logs. Has anyone encountered this before? [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are running Cold Fusion on Solaris here. Periodically the server will hang and not serve back anymore Cold Fusion requests. We are able to send http requests to port 80 and Apache responds but Cold Fusion seems dead in the water. After all is said and done the services have to be killed and restarted. Anyone else having similar problems with *nix flavors of CF? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. chris.alvarado cold.fusion - developer [phone] 512.794.6563 [email] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [web] http://www.tmanage.com Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message.
