changing coldfusion 9 standard license
0 down vote favorite I understand Coldfusion 9 is not supported, but being used for some systems till we migrate to Coldfusion 10. We were using a hosting provider who was providing us the Coldfusion 9 standard license and charging us for it. We found a unused license key(for Coldfusion 9 standard) and want to use that instead of getting charged a leasing fee from the hosting provider. I understand the steps are to log-in to CF Admin, click on System Information icon, enter the new license key. Anything else we need to be aware of so that there are no unexpected issues?

I have trouble believing a user can even see 1000 items on a single page - did you set up the whole spreadsheet as a grid with form fields like a1, a2, b1, b2? Can you piecemeal it and send partials via ajax, live, as the user updates them?

Re: bypassing the site-wide error handler
Thanks Dave, Rodney. That really helped. It turned out our issue was the same cfscript in the application's header and the sitewide error handler's header.

I'd take a look at the code in the site-wide error handler to see if there's anything in there that would prevent it from doing anything when an error occurs. You might also look at how you're using CFTRY/CFCATCH - maybe you are catching the error after all, and your error trapping code doesn't do anything useful. Finally, the site-wide error handler will only catch run-time exceptions, I think. I could be wrong about this, as I haven't worked with the site-wide error handler in a while, but if this is the case and you have a compile-time error in your code, it's going to be displayed. This is something that used to be handled with the CFERROR tag (type=request), but you really just shouldn't have any compile-time errors anyway.

Re: Using caching and threading to load a page quickly
Thanks Jonah, I am sorry for the late reply. The WordPress's RSS feed is stable but due to excessive resource usage, the newswebsite has been suspended a few times after which we had to call the Hosting company to restore it. To have the rest of the page load and then the feed display later, you'll have to use AJAX to pull in a separate CF page clientside. (You'd still use caching in the feed.cfm so it'd only be slow occasionally.) Would the following code http://collabedit.com/tmjwj/history function as expected in an environment with less users than actual production? If the newswebsite is suspended because it is using too many resources on shared hosting, the thread reading the feed will timeout in 30 seconds, so there will be no results. Will News feed not available be shown? Or, since the variable #feedResult.entriesNews# had a value from the last successful read, those results will be displayed? Another approach would have the feed fetching functionality in a separate template which is run as a scheduled task every 2 minutes. That task can shove the parsed (and potentially formatted) feed into the application scope. (With a lock.) And then your main page can output that variable (with a lock). Then your home page would load as fast as it would as if the feed were local. So, as you suggest, I need to get the feed, write to the machine running CF server which will be used if the RSS feed is unavailable, in case the newswebsite is suspended again. I will make the feed loading a scheduled task and have to call it in the Application.cfm(I know most people have already moved to Application.cfc) and if no response is used, use the previous feed obtained from the past successful fetch. I appreciate your assistance and time. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:359404 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Using caching and threading to load a page quickly
Hi All, I have a main index page which is in ColdFusion which gets a RSS feed from another website(Newswebsite which is a WordPress 3.9.2 website running on shared hosting). The Newswebsite is on shared hosting so takes about 7 seconds to load(a little slow, I know, but the decision to go with a shared hosting was done to save on costs by the purchasing people). Now, people don't want the main index page to take 7 seconds to load. I estimate using caching of the RSS feed so that updates are retrieved from the feed only every 2 minutes and having a thread so that the main index page loads(in 2 seconds or less) without waiting for the RSS feed can alleviate the issue. The thread which fetches the data from RSS feed can display the feeds on the main index page after the data is retrieved. 1. If the idea is viable, would something like the below work? - cftry cfset rssUrl = http://www.testsite.com/?feed=rss2; !--- Caching the RSS feed from newssite so that it is checked every 2 minutes only--- cfcache action = cache timespan = #createtimespan(0,0,2,0)# !--- Start a thread and wait for it to read the RSS feed from newssite --- cfthread action=run name=thread1 cffeed action=read source=#rssUrl# query=entriesNews properties=info timeout = 180 /cfthread cfthread action=join name=thread1 timeout=7000 / cfset feedResult=cfthread[thread1] !--- Display feed information if it was obtained in 7 seconds --- cfif isDefined(feedResult.entriesNews) ul cfoutput query=entriesNews startrow=1 maxrows=3 cfset tempTextNews = #title# cfif len(tempTextNews) gt '75' li a class=NewsEvents href=#rssLink# target=_blank#Left(tempTextNews, 75)#...more/a /li cfelse li a class=NewsEvents href=#rssLink# target=_blank#title#...more/a /li /cfif /cfoutput /cfif /cfcache cfcatch type=any !--cfdump var=#entriesNews# --- !--cfdump var=#info# --- News Feed not available /cfcatch /ul /cftry - 2. Are there other better ways to tackle the issue? I want the other parts of the main index page which is in ColdFusion to load and not get delayed because getting data from the RSS feed of news website takes 7 seconds. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Not able to read a RSS feed from a WordPress website
Hi Dave, The server hosting WordPress was blocking the IP address of server running ColdFusion because it was seeing too much traffic for the news feeds from the server running ColdFusion. I just wish the hosting company which was running WordPress had told me this before. I appreciate all your assistance and time. Packets can leave which server? Your CF server? The relevant question here (to me) is: what happens when you ping the WP server from the CF server console? What happens when you run a traceroute to the WP server from the CF server console?

Re: Not able to read a RSS feed from a WordPress website
Thanks Dave. This is no longer a programming issue, though. It has nothing to do with reading and displaying the RSS feeds at this point. Instead, it has to do with fixing the connectivity problem between the two machines. People on a mailing list are not going to be able to help you do this effectively. And, you should be able to demonstrate to a network administrator somewhere (your organization, the hosting company where your CF server is) that this is not a CF problem but rather a networking problem. I agree, but here is where it becomes strange. They(hosting company where your CF server is) claim packets can leave the server, but then they are getting lost on the route so tell me to check with the hosting company where the wordpress website who say that they are not blocking any requests from the machine running CF server. I need to dive into it and solve it. Anyway, I appreciate all your assistance and time.

Re: Not able to read a RSS feed from a WordPress website
Thanks Robert, but don't think they(hostingcompanyA) would block a particular IP address(server running CF which belongs to hosting company B) Yes, they would if they detected something funny coming your server... like a bunch of pings or form bots or something... for that matter a bunch of unexpected reads of the RSS file your reading could have set off some kind of alarm that caused them to block the IP. It depends on them and what they see as an intrusion. A lot of hosting companies are great professional companies that can really analyze threats... a lot of them are some guy with a server or two in basement too and anything odd they see they block. Yes, it's possible they blocked you intentionally if they saw a lot of unexplained requests coming from your server. I checked with the hosting company(hostingcompanyA) who host the website my machine running CF is trying to access and they told, they are not blocking the IP address of the server running CF. try displaying it in a browser that shows the same external IP address as your server How do I do that? If the server is at a separate location (hosting company), you may have to ask them for help with this. Yes, that is with hosting company B and they say we are not blocking the website your CF server is trying to read. Honestly, at this point with what you know this does not sound like a job for a programming issue and it may not be best for a programmer to be troubleshooting it. You should get a network engineer to take a look. Hosting company B says we are not blocking the website your CF server is trying to read. They say all is well with the machine running CF server. We went with a hosting company because network engineers in our organization did not have time for such things. Reading the RSS feeds and getting them to display is my task.

Re: Not able to read a RSS feed from a WordPress website
Thanks Dave, Just to clarify: from the machine running CF, if you use a browser, can you get to the site correctly? No, I cannot access the site from the machine running CF. If the server admin can't tell you why a machine he or she manages can't get to a remote server, you need to replace your server admin. I am not the decision maker who can replace server admins. The server admin told me they do not restrict outbound traffic nor there are any rules in firewall blocking that site. I already checked the localhosts file and nothing in it also could be stopping it. Well, the CF service was restarted and so was the server, so if the DNS entry changed, CF should have updated its cache. 1. Should I change the below line in C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\jre\lib\security\java.security #networkaddress.cache.ttl=-1 to something like networkaddress.cache.ttl= 14400 2. Also, does CF9 cache a positive lookup forever? Meaning if http://www.testsite.com/?feed=rss2 was on IP address A.B.C.1 when CF cached it, it will not update its cache when the feed's IP address changes to A.B.C.10 If you can't get to the site from a browser on the machine running CF, I wouldn't bother messing with CF - the problem isn't with CF. If you can get to the site from a browser on the machine running CF, but CF itself can't get to it, there's probably some sort of DNS caching issue within CF itself.

Re: Not able to read a RSS feed from a WordPress website
Thanks Russ, you need to do some basic tests, which your server admin should have already done. for a start ping the domain from the cf server, does this work and do you get the right IP, if not then it is a dns issue. make sure that someone has not created an entry in the local hosts file. I did a ping and the request timed out. All data packets were lost. The server admin told me they do not restrict outbound traffic nor there are any rules in firewall blocking that site.

Re: Not able to read a RSS feed from a WordPress website
Thanks Dave, OK, this is good! This means it's not a CF problem. But - and now I'm being completely serious - the server admin should be able to diagnose the problem preventing the server that he manages from connecting to this other server. This is clearly not a CF problem. This could be caused by many things. Here's what I'd try to look at, if I were you (assuming you have console access): Do you get the correct IP address when you ping the server? Yes, the site I am trying to access is hosted by HostingcompanyA so I get the name of that company when I type the IP address in a browser on another computer. On the browser of machine running CF, if I try the IP address, I get connection timed out. Where does it fail if you do a traceroute to the server? It times out from the first to 30th hop. All I see is hop count, asteriks on doing a traceroute. Are other servers from the same network able to connect to the server? I do not have access so will have to ask the serveradmin to try those. The machine running CF belongs to HostingCompany B. I appreciate your assistance and time. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:359278 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Not able to read a RSS feed from a WordPress website
Thanks Robert, Just to clarify: from the machine running CF, if you use a browser, can you get to the site correctly? No, I cannot access the site from the machine running CF. It's possible the issue is not on your side. It could be on the side of the site you are trying to read from. You can't display the site in a browser on the CF machine... try displaying it in a browser that shows the same external IP address as your server. It's possible your IP has been blocked by the firewall on the sending side. If that's the issue it will have to be fixed on their side. The CF server is managed by HostingCompanyB and the site I am trying to read from is by HostingcompanyA. try displaying it in a browser that shows the same external IP address as your server How do I do that? It's possible your IP has been blocked by the firewall on the sending side. If that's the issue it will have to be fixed on their side. Well, it worked fine till some 9 days ago. I know both(machine running CF and site being hosted) are maintained by different hosting companies, but don't think they(hostingcompanyA) would block a particular IP address(server running CF which belongs to hostingcompanyB). I appreciate your assistance and time. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:359279 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Not able to read a RSS feed from a WordPress website
Thanks Dave, If I use a browser, I can see the feeds. Using a feed reader in Google Chrome browser, I can notice the feeds load correctly. Are you using a browser from the machine running CF? No, the machine running CF cannot access the website. I get a message that the request timed out. But, the server admin cannot tell me what could be causing it. 1000's of people can access the website properly from their computers. Message:Connection refused by the specified host on the specified port. ... 1. What could have caused a working WordPress RSS feed which was parsed correctly by ColdFusion till last week to stop suddenly? 2. How can I resolve the issue? Looks like the CF server can't connect to that host on that port. This could be all kinds of things, but it probably doesn't actually have anything to do with CF itself. Perhaps the CF server is on a network segment that can't access this server. Perhaps the DNS entry changed for the WP server, and the CF server hasn't updated its cache. Etc, etc, etc. Well, the CF service was restarted and so was the server, so if the DNS entry changed, CF should have updated its cache. 1. Should I change the below line in C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\jre\lib\security\java.security #networkaddress.cache.ttl=-1 to something like networkaddress.cache.ttl= 14400 2. Also, does CF9 cache a positive lookup forever? Meaning if http://www.testsite.com/?feed=rss2 was on IP address A.B.C.1 when CF cached it, it will not update its cache when the feed's IP address changes to A.B.C.10 I appreciate your assistance and time.

CFQUERY immediately throws blank CF error and HTTP 500 code when more than 50 records will be returned (CF6)
Really odd issue we've been having.. We have a scheduled task that hits another database server to get a full list of employees. It then runs through the user accounts for this specific app and adds or updates accounts as needed. We weren't aware that it had been broken, so we don't know exactly what change on the server side could have done it (virtual instance). If the query looks like: select TOP 5 somecolumn from employees - the query runs If the query looks like: select somecolumn from employees - a blank CF error (no message or details) is thrown immediately without trying to run the query I've upped the TOP 5 to about ~50 and around that and above, it either throws the immediate CF error or attempts to run and then brings down ColdFusion. On one of our other CF boxes with less memory (4gb vs 512mb), the query runs and returns the 18,000 rows within seconds. Looking at Task Manager, I don't see any spikes in memory or CPU when the page is ran. The error is thrown immediately, almost like the server just refused to bother. It seems like ColdFusion is either trying to allocate resources and not liking the info it gets or is somehow otherwise sizing up what will be needed for the call. I can't think of any other reason why it wouldn't run and time out like other queries. The CF error returned is blank and thrown immediately. We've created a new DSN using the fully qualified domain name, IP address, and even changed the query to a stored proc that should have resulted in less overhead on CF and nothing seems to help. If we don't specify a TOP XX number or specify one that's too large (50+), we get this strange result. Otherwise it runs or at least attempts to run just fine. Being that we're using an long outdated version of CF, it's been hard to find support specific to this issue and I need to try to throw our server folks a bone as these issues tend to become IT hot potato games (not the server, it's CF... not CF, it's the database, etc.). Anyone experience a similar issue? I've created tons of queries in the last 10 years, crashed tons of CF instances, and written tons of bad SQL, but this issue is so odd that I've never encountered it in the wild. In the CF Admin settings, the CF version on the trouble server is showing as 6,1,0,83762. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:356143 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Database inserts seem to timeout
Hi, I have an application which takes a variety of temperature and pressure readings and runs them through a set of calculations, which are then saved to the database. Scheduled tasks also do periodic calculations, averaging the results over a calendar month, quarter or year. Both new periods (months) and new calculations have been added to these routines, and as a result, I need to recalculate several years' worth of data. Since even the existing periods (quarters and years) must be recalculated to incorporate the new, additional calcs, I'm choosing to simply recalculate everything and insert it into new tables, which will then replace the old ones. However, when I run the routine that will recalc all this data, the inserts run fine for some period of time, then stop. There's no error returned from CF, and in fact, the page never returns at all. I've set a very long CF timeout so that the routine can continue. The inserts simply stop happening. I see no memory or CPU problems on the server when this runs. Does anyone have any insight into what might be happening here? -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 Generally it is quicker to store everything you need into an array of some sort, then when you go to do your insert loop over that array. For MySQL insert into temperature (thisTemp) VALUES cfloop from=1 to=#arrayLen(tempArray)# index=itempArray[#i#]cfif i lt arrayLen(tempArray),/cfif Oracle would be a little different. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:355712 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CFSchedule runs 2nd task on its own
Thanks Russ. No, I know 'requesttimeout doesn't actual time it out. My real concern is why CFSchedule appears to be starting a second task on its own. It's bad enough one of these long-running tasks runs so long ... but two of them is ... uh ... twice as bad.

Re: postParametersLimit in CHF4
Thanks for your comments, Pete, Dave. Good links, Pete, that really helped me understand what's going on. Interesting to see such variation in default number of postParameters in ASP.net (1,000), Tomcat (10,000) and ColdFusion (100). We identified that most of the 1,006 postParameters in that one application are actually blank ( !! ). And yes, we think a rewrite is in order. Regards, Chris On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 11:53 PM, Pete Freitag p...@foundeo.com wrote: The vulnerability is caused by hash collisions, so if two strings hash to the same value, for example the result of java's hashCode() function on the name of a form field, then the hash table data structure becomes very inefficient. ColdFusion uses some sort of hash table algorithm to store the form fields (as well as url fields, cookies, etc but these are typically limited in size which makes them less of a target for this attack). CF was not the only technology to get hit by this issue many others including ASP.NET, node.js, j2ee/Tomcat, etc. Typically a hash table algorithm will account for collisions by putting all objects with the same hash code in a bucket, and then does a comparison of each value in the bucket to fetch the correct one, or to see if it is a duplicate when adding a new entry. You can see how the bucket could get very big, and operations on it get slower and slower with each collision added to the bucket if an attacker crafts a request with thousands of input variables whose names all collide to the same hash code. Under normal circumstances having 1000 form fields will not cause any collisions at all, and hash table lookups are quite fast. You may still want to limit the overall size of a request, but the HashDOS can be relatively small (eg 1-2mb) so that is why limiting the number of fields is considered the best protection.

Future Proofing/Backward compatibility
Let's say I have a cfc I'm using to provide a service to multiple
disparate clients. One of the arguments to a function is a struct.
That struct is then used to pass values as individual arguments to a
stored procedure on a database.
Now the stored procedure is changed to add a new optional parameter
and only one of the many disparate clients is updated to add that new
field.
How would you design that function to handle the fact that some
clients are NOT passing the new field and there's no need to change
the clients as it's optional?
One idea is pass the value as :-
value =
#iif(StructKeyExists(struct,'new_field'),Evaluate(DE('struct.new_field')),0)#
Is this the best way or there a better way of handling this?

Interesting solution, however, value needs to be struct.new_field,
structAppend returns true/false and not the resultant struct.
I'm trying to do this inline. It would be good if structAppend return
the resultant struct so that:-
value = structAppend( struct, { 'new_field' = 0 }, false ).new_field
would return the passed in value or the default.

Re: cfm files bypass permissions -- htm files get 401 unauthorized
Hi Russ, Yes ... I'll add a followup -- we did indeed have issues with cfCHART. Searching online, we identified a fix that requires a zero-byte file CFIDE\GraphData.cfm That fixed the missing-images generated by cfCHART.

Re: latest Adobe-approved 1.6 JDK ?
Found an Adobe page from last month. Thanks everybody: http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/upgrading-java-coldfusion.html ColdFusion Help http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/ / Upgrade Java for ColdFusion Issue Oracle releases Java updates periodically. How do you handle these updates in the context of ColdFusion? Go ahead and upgrade. All ColdFusion users can upgrade Java to the latest minor version for their ColdFusion servers. For example, ColdFusion customers using jdk 1.6.0_x can upgrade to the latest jdk 1.6.0_x update. (At the time of writing, the current version is jdk 1.6.0_35.) All future JDK 1.6.0_x releases are supported. For the supported ColdFusion versions, Adobe supports all minor releases of Java. For example, if ColdFusion supports JDK 1.6.0, all JDK 1.6.0_x updates are supported. JDK 1.7.0 is not considered a minor Java release. Unless explicitly stated that ColdFusion supports JDK 1.7.0, you cannot upgrade to any Java 1.7.0_x update. Keywords: cpsid_92330 It took a little while to find the Sun Java.com downloads page for 1.6.0_37 (the highest release for 1.6.0) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6u37-downloads-1859587.html Regards, Chris On Fri, Nov 9, 2012 at 1:13 PM, Matt Quackenbush quackfu...@gmail.comwrote: Adobe support anything 1.6.

Re: cfm files bypass permissions -- htm files get 401 unauthorized
WE HAVE A WINNER! Yes, that's exactly what the fix is -- telling IIS to check the file exists before passing it to ColdFusion for processing. I don't know how our apps with folder permissions have (apparently) been trouble-free for years, but it looks like we've now fixed this issue. Perhaps using HTTPS for this new app is what surfaced the issue. So ColdFusion was going around IIS, not because ColdFusion had permission, but because IIS wasn't checking the .cfm file's existence before passing it to ColdFusion. Thanks Byron, and also Russ and others for the help.

Thanks Byron. I found Adobe® ColdFusion® 9 Server Lockdown Guide and will go through that. It looks pretty comprehensive. Thanks Jochem.

I presume this is a followup to your Weblogic / RMI problem? It's clear it's not good, but how bad is it? What exactly could someone do to a server that's behind firewalls and load balancers? Probably it is inconsequential in the big picture. As always there is a layered security model. The access of the server running CF to other systems is limited by firewalls. The access of the JVM instance to the server is limited by the Windows account. The access of CF to the JVM instance is limited by the java.security.* security permissions. What I presume is happening is that by default CF runs with java.security.AllPermission already. (Have a look at the security policy in /WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/coldfusion.policy and /WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/neo_jaas.policy to see what CF ships with.) Then when some Weblogic RMI call is ran, some other security policy that is much more restricted is loaded, causing CF to fail. The new configuration would overrule that security policy and restore the original security from CF. If this presumption is right, you can tel them that from a CF perspective you are just restoring the original configuration. The only additional risk is not CF, but the Weblogic RMI running with additional proivileges.

CF 301 Redirect on an HTML page
Hello all- I have a rather strange request. I have old web pages that Google is still finding links for so I want to utilize this power. These old links have new equivalents. The problem is, the old links are so old that they are .htm files. My site is now CF8 hosted. Doing a simple 301 redirect is proving quite difficult. The complications: I am on a shared server, so I don't have access to .htaccess. That option is gone for a redirect. I tried to put cflocation tags on the old links, but because they are .htm files, the server won't execute the cflocation tags. I asked the server to tell CF to process all .htm extensions as .cfm, but they can't do this because it's a shared server and it could cause problems. So, I tried to put the following code in my application.cfm file. cfif #CGI.SCRIPT_NAME# EQ old-page.htm cflocation url=new-page.cfm addToken=yes statusCode=301/cfif However, this doesn't seem to be working either. I think because the old links are .htm files, application.cfm isn't even running when I attempt to go to the old links and test the code. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. -Chris ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:344273 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Coldfusion app using MySQL - Is moving the MySql to Amazon RDS feasible/efficient?
Stumbled onto Amazon RDS (link: http://aws.amazon.com/rds/) and the concept from what I'm reading at least, sounds great. I currently use shared hosting with CF and MySQL. I'm pouring over the documentation but most of it is over my head as I'm not familiar with Amazon web services and/or MySQL server administration. From what I'm getting though, I can create the MySQL database there, import data into it, and then connect to it from the CF server during CFQUERY calls. Has anyone looked into this or tried something like this? I'm skeptical and imagine there'd be overhead that would make it unusable but I'm not finding anything to back that up.. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342419 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: index.cfm being hacked (now application.cfm)
Yep same thing here, someone at my company had their laptop compromised - changing his FTP password didn't work, had to just lock out his account, setup a separate one for use in the office, now he just can't FTP from home... There are ways to prevent even this sort of thing...use key pairs, so that you'd need the ssl key as well as your regular login, use a token system, etc - obviously these are not trivial things to implement though depending on the size of the organization. I went through this last year. It's a nightmare of possibilities. I can save you all a TON of time right here. I thought they were targeting just files named index.cfm so I changed all my home page filenames to something else. Whatever the process was it got wise to it within days. I changed file and folder permissions, I changed this and that, I even shut off Cold Fusion to see what would happen. It's not coming from the server side It's coming right through your FTP channel. Simple and clever. If you don't want to have to fight security go through the front door. That's what they are doing. If you visit an infected site it silently downloads through their javascript a worm to your computer. It looks for FTP configuration files. Cute, Dreamweaver, whatever, if it's FTP this worm finds it. Then every 24 hours it, or someone, logs in to your sites using FTP and carefully appends your default pages with the malicious hijack script (the script has been getting more and more sophisticated it changes all the time so detecting a pattern is impossible. The client calls you in anger, you find it, freak out, replace the files with good ones, even turn off write access to the file, and in a day or so you it happens again. You can spend the better part of your lives trying to figure out how the attacker is getting onto the server. The answer is under your nose. Wipe and reload the OS on any computer in your company that has FTP access to the infected sites. I haven't found a scanner that will detect this thing yet. Better safe than sorry. Wipe and reload. THEN - make it a policy to NEVER store an FTP password again. I manually enter all my FTP passwords now. It's a few seconds here and there, sometimes it's a pain, but I haven't had a problem with an infected site since. If you find this helpful please let me know off-list. Thank you. Nick Is the site in question on a SHARED Server? I had this issue a while ago and it wasn't my site, but someone else's and it rewrote every default page on the entire server no matter what language. Just a thought. They could have modified the exploit to not only do index.html, index.cfm, etc. but say, application.cfm, etc. It took the hosting company a while to track down the actual site that got hacked. Terry AFAIK (kinda guessing here) Google doesn't sniff the files themselves, they just hit a link and sniff the resulting HTML. So anything that's output to the resultant page, whether on the index.cfm or application.cfm, will be picked up by Google. -- Josh thanks for that mary. this seems like a good idea. i will contact hostek today to try and have the ftp restricted. because they are modifying just the application file now, i think it must be an auto script as when they were attacking the index file the links were very visible to google. it doesn't make sense now to include their links in ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:340062 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Vmware and CF 8+
Correct - ESXi only supports two processors, neither of the relatively cheap SMB packages support more than two procs either (i'm in the midst of doing this myself...but with a dual proc machine). Microsoft hyper-V does not have this limitation (although in general it seems VMware is favored over MS - biggest problem with hyper-v is that service packs and critical fixes that require a reboot of the underlying OS means you have to reboot however many VM's are running on your box too). Would it make sense to do this? Absolutely! Several months ago we began consolidating some of our older servers on to a Dell 2950 with 32GB and lots of RAIDed hard drive space. We installed VMware ESXi on the base machine and then copied the ISO images for our server installs. We use vSphere to manage it remotely. It doesn't have all of the features of the paid VMware solutions, but it's enough to run a bunch of virtual machines which all hum along nicely without any trouble. I believe that ESXi only supports two processors though, so you likely wouldn't be able to take full advantage with the free version. -Justin Scott ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337211 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Vmware and CF 8+
yep you are correct (I could swear I just looked at this page, but whatever:) http://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/buy/small_business_editions_comparison.html however, strangely, both of the SBS solutions do limit you to 2 procs/server...which is a bit odd - considering you are going from a free to a paid product! Which means if you want free...no problem, if you want to add say...vMotion for under 5 figures with a 4 proc machine you are out of luck... the whole back and forth between MS and VMware will be good for all of us though as it'll drive features down the chain:) I think ESXi supports more processors now in vSphere 4.1 that was released back in July.

Re: Vmware and CF 8+
true...I knew that, I think I meant more that nearly every month MS has at least one patch that requiresa reboot, rarely do I go through a patch tuesday without some critical fix... I saw a timeline somewhere where there are far more patches that require rebooting on the MS side - which is only to be expected as it's a full blown OS running there...as opposed to a stripped down kernel, just running what needs to be run for the one function. biggest problem with hyper-v is that service packs and critical fixes that require a reboot of the underlying OS means you have to reboot however many VM's are running on your box too). I use ESXi myself, and to be fair to Microsoft, when a critical patch for ESXi is release it requires the same process (shut down the VMs and reboot the hypervisor). Since I deployed ESXi there has been one patch I needed to install and that was four months ago. Most of the patches that come out are related to the CLI which ESXi doesn't ship with, so they're not relevant. -Justin ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337217 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

I worked through recruiters. The problem that I found was that you wind up spending an extra four hours a day marketing and lining up your next assignments.

On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 02:31, Dave Watts dwa...@figleaf.com wrote: Instead of having the processing done in the child tags, you can simply pass the data from those tags back to the parent tag during its end execution mode, using the CFASSOCIATE tag. This will let you do things that are a bit harder to do in the nested tag itself. Doesn't that depend on what you're trying to achieved? I can image that's a good solution for simple nesting of tags, but not for highly complex nesting of an indeterminate number of different child tags, child of child tags and recursive nesting.

Stack overflow in self nested custom tag
I'm using CF7.02 and I'm trying to create a custom tag that will be self nested, like:- cf_ct1 cf_ct2 cf_ct2 /cf_ct2 /cf_ct2 /cf_ct1 And in cf_ct2, I'm trying to get the data of the parent tag and assigning to a variable in the current tags state:- cfset lvData=GetBaseTagData(ListGetAt(GetBaseTagList(),2)) But the assignment creates a stack overflow and I don't understand why?

Since getBaseTagData operates on names rather than offsets/indexes, it's going to match the current tag, and then return it's own data. So lvData is pointing at one of it's own scopes, which then has to be copied into lvData, and well you can see the problem. However, getBaseTagData accepts an optional second parameter for how many matches it should find before returning, simply moving the , 2 to the right by one parenthesis will probably solve your problem. Again, I haven't actually tested, but that's what I'd try first. That worked. Thanks.

RE: AJAX Question
Also, if you're using CF9's AJAX implementation, putting ?cfdebug at the end
of your URL will show the AJAX debugger (assuming that feature is enabled in
the CF Admin).

Subject: RE: AJAX Question
Matt here's a quick one using JQuery:
First off, you need to load the JQuery libraries in the head of the
page.
script type=text/javascript
$(document).ready(function() {
$(#button name).live(click, function(){
$.ajax({
type:post,
url:url of processing page,
data:$(#form name).serialize(),
cache:false,
success:
function(){$(#receiving div).load(page to load on sucess)},
error: function(){
error functionality here;
}
});
});
)}
/script
From the top,
$(document).ready(function() {
This ensures that everything inside is as soon as the DOM is loaded,
while
not as important here, if you're using JQuery for layout manipulation
it's
critical, so make a habit of wrapping all JQuery code in it.
$(#button name).live(click, function(){
This script is triggered off of a button, make sure the button tag has
an
id, this is what you'll trigger on.
url:url of processing page,
this is url of whatever actions you're going to call, hijacks the
action
attribute of the form tag
success: function(){$(#receiving div).load(page to load on
sucess)},
The page that you want to load after processing, and the div that it
should
be placed in
error: function(){error functionality here;}
error functionality, error pages etc.
This is quick and dirty, there's an entire form plugin for JQuery that
may
be better suited to what you need.
To debug any AJAX stuff, if you haven't already downloaded Firefox, do
it
and get the firebug plugin, along with the JQuery plugins that are
available. The NET tab in firebug will show you all of the behind the
scenes
stuff going on.
Hope this helps

RE: AJAX Question
You're probably right. Your note about using firebug reminded me of the built in debugger with CF9, so I figured it would be worth letting Matthew know about it if he was using cfajaxproxy.

cfchart - stacked bar chart
I just upgraded from CF7 MX to CF9 and now my stacked bar charts are incorrect.

Like 1401 had 41 accounts (40+1 stacked), 1472 had 86 accounts (25+2+59 stacked), etc. Now running the same code with CF9, it's taking all of the totals and stacking them into each dept so the total accounts is the same in every department. 1401 has 215 accounts; 1+40+25...+69 stacked. 1472 also has 215 accounts... etc. Here's the code: cfchart format=jpg xaxistitle=Department: showlegend=yes seriesplacement=stacked yaxistitle=Accounts: fontSize=9 chartHeight=400 chartWidth=800 cfloop query=accttype2 cfchartseries type=Bar seriesLabel=#accttype2.account_type# cfchartdata item=#accttype2.dept_num# value=#accttype2.counter# /cfchartseries /cfloop /cfchart I'm out of ideas on how to fix this.

Need help figuring out how to bill for on-call support I provide to an ex-employer...
In a unique situation here (well, hopefully not)... I've been helping a friend get his company automated and we've developed a damned fine management system that handles mostly everything internally. I've been working full-time for him on a very reduced salary for the past year due to being in a pinch after being laid off last year and also wanting to finish this project we started several years ago but never had the chance to spend the right amount of time on. The system is built, but being on a shared server (there's not enough in the budget to justify dedicated at the moment), there are occasional kick the box support services they need me to be on-call for. There will also be additions and upgrades. I have a good idea on what to charge for those. But the on-call billing is throwing me for a loop. I'm stuck between a fixed amount and some usage-based amount. Anyone run into something like this? My friend was bought by a slightly larger company so he's letting me be a little creative to make sure I'm fully compensated. I already have a base amount I receive per month for normal tasks like database updates, slight changes that don't qualify as projects, etc. The on-call would be on top of that and for the life of me I can't figure out how to bill it. Thanks in advance :) ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Need help figuring out how to bill for on-call support I provide to an ex-employer...
Rick, that actually sounds like what I've been banging around in my head. My friend was thinking of an emergency on call rate for that reason, but if it was a call saying the server was down and it involved a 10 minute call to the hosting center, I would have to break out that hourly rate into increments and it starts getting messy. Also, for the slow months, if I rely at all on this income, I'm left needing to make it up and a retainer keeps me open and invested in the program. It's almost completely guaranteed it'd be using it all, but these sorts of things don't work well when one party is assuming. We actually deal with attorneys a good bit and a retainer should be something that is easy to sell on its own merit. I think I'm going to do something like: Retainer: XXX/month (with dev time billed against half of it like you mentioned). Development: XX/hr Maintenance: XXX/month Maintenance includes a fixed cost for backups, some manual labor that needs to be done between their dev and live servers, etc. Menial, but any shared hosting company charges something similar for database backups, code backups, etc. For on-call service, I would have what most lawyers do for their corporate clients...a retainer. I would set a monthly rate to have me on-call and then, if they did actually call me in for some work, I would charge my normal hourly rate for service and take the first half of the charges out of the retainer fee *for that month*. For instance, if I charge $50 an hour for service and they pay a retainer of $200 per month to keep me on-call, the first $100 or two hours of work would come from the retainer. After that it's an additional $50 per hour. Of course the retainer is paid monthly and there are no roll-over hours. Previous months' retainers do not apply to the current month's charges. Also, I would have different rates for after-hours on-call service than I would for 9-5 service. Probably double my 9-5 rate...call me at 10pm and it's $100 per hour. Seems reasonable and fair...

Another quick update to CFJS
Hey folks, I've made another quick update to the DateFormat function in CFJS. You can read about it on my blog if you like (http://cjordan.us/index.cfm/CFJS). It's at version 1.1.12, and as always is available from http://cfjs.riaforge.org. Cheers! Chris ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
