Re: Ajax, Json, and two clueless programmers
first I would use jquery to make it easier but if neither of you know it the
first hurdle you will face is multiple clicks so you should put a div and class
around each link and then use jquery's live property which will make this
work right or else you'll be scratchin your head trying to get it.
then in the same function use jquery ajax function to grab info.
Also cfm returns json IN ALL CAPS, so propertyID becomes PROPERTYID in the
returned json.
$(function() {
$('td.propertyInfo').live('click',
var PropertyID = this.id;
//the line below is used with a regex to help filter data faster by
adding a
// longer more specific name to the link to speed it up and then the
regex
// removes the additional text: example would be: the table row would
be
//property id but you shouldn't use that id if it's just a number so
adding
//property-#propertyID# separates the value from any other possible
conflicts.
var getDataString = $(this).attr('id').replace(/property-/ig, '');
var dataString = id= + getDataString;
$.ajax({
type: post,
url: assets/cfc/process.cfc?method=getPTreturnFormat=json,
data: dataString,
dataType: json,
cache: false,
success: function(data) {
//success code here

}

Re: Clients Can't Login - IE8 Caching?
In the past I had issues staying logged in if the url didnât have the www. in it, you could log in but every page would ask you for a login and this was just with setting a reg session, so I forced the www. on the name and it was fine after. I have seen some problems with jQuery and IE8 caching. IE8 sees the same URL variables and decides to use the cached page rather than loading the page again. I added a time stamp variable (foo=hhmmss) to my URLs and IE sees the different URL variables and loads the page rather than using the cached version. -Original Message- From: Randy Zeitman [mailto:stonerosedesigndot...@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 2:12 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Clients Can't Login - IE8 Caching?

Re: Colfusion 8 on Tomcat 6 server wide
well on railo it's pretty easy so cant imagine this is much harder. You don't have to have the apps in the webapps folder so long as they are in the tomcat server.xml file correctly.. you link to webapps in the vh, you might need to add the autodeploy parts though. Host name=site.test appBase=webapps Context path= docBase=/Users/me/Sites/test/ /Host though apache on the front end to process all the non cf stuff and proxy cfm cfc's to tomcat. I would look over railo install threads and all u seek is there. Ive searched extensively for an answer to this question, but haven't found an answer. What I need is a coldfusion war install on tomcat6 in order to run CF applications packaged as WAR's beside the main coldfusion installation. So in the webapps directory you have: cfusion (coldfusion application + administrator) cfapp1 cfapp2 ... I figure there has to be a way to make the Coldfusion servlet's server wide so every installed application can use these jars to process its cfm/cfc files. The source below is about as far as anyone has gotten with Coldfusion8 and tomcat: http://www.justicesolutionsllc. com/blogcfm/1/2008/02/Taming-the-CatTomcat-and-Coldfusion-8.cfm Any clues are greatly appreciated!

Re: Is this possible with component methods in cf8?
oh no!
swfupload is ok but has some issues and limitations and it's not jquery which
makes interacting with it a bit more difficult.
I'm making a fairly sweet uploader in jquery and ended up using uploadify as
the base uploader but I alter the source code.
As far as the original question as to reporting back.. sure you can do it but
use writeoutput to send data back to js script but you need the js script to
update on change or look for change in intervals.
The one i'm making does:
1. uploads
2. checks mime
3. checks size
4. runs a virus check
5. renames to a uuid
6. if image converts to png to remove excess exif data without losing quality
7. stops and returns to script to add description
8. then does an ajax submit with info on resizing and thumbs, final output
format
9. checks destination folders to see if they exist, if not creates them
10. converts image to output desired
11. makes large web size and moves it to destination folder
12. makes thumb and moves it
13. deletes originals
14. checks upload folders (on separate hd) and looks for stay files and deletes
them if found
each step is reported back
here is an example from cfc on it
/*
***
CHECK MIME TYPE
check uploads mime type and error if not
accepted or continue procesing
***
*/
ckMimeTypeObj =
createObject(component,img_util).ckMimeType(
ckFile = locFile,
allowedMimeTypes =
variables.attributes.allowedMimeTypes
);
/*
***
MIME RESULTS
check upload mime results, show error and stop
processing or set var's and continue processing
***
*/
if(ckMimeTypeObj.status == 0){
result.status = ckMimeTypeObj.status;
result.message = ckMimeTypeObj.message;
writeOutput(SerializeJSON(result));
abortObj = createObject(component,
cfc.utilities).abort();
} else {
var uploadedFileSize =
variables.attributes.maxUploadSize;
result.status = ckMimeTypeObj.status;
result.message = ckMimeTypeObj.message;
}

Re: Is this possible with component methods in cf8?
What issues and limitations exactly? Had no problems using jQuery with it -
though that uploadify looks like a better js implementation for sure.
There is no issues it's just not as clean. It's also harder to control the
data coming back. I just went through most all the ajax uploads and thought I
settled on swfupload then when getting towards the finish line I started
running into limitations but can't recall what they were exactly since I went
through so many. I ended back with uploadify I think because I could hack the
source easier to control the error messages. Most of these don't have flexible
error reporting and if there is 1 thing I know about clients and uploadsâ¦
they need error reporting!
@rick
I have it set to 1 at a time but it can do multiples. The reason I do that is
clients screw up multi ones way to easy and I want to be more in control of
data . Most people want to make this a one shot deal and I don't think thatâs
right, I think it is a multi-step process that should be handled that way. So
uploading a file is 1 process, cleaning, resizing, etc is another process
submitting it to db is another process. This gives so much more control over
how things are done and error prevention and reporting
Then, within the cfc method, I loop over the images and process each one.
With how I do it would be easy but messy.
?I'm looking for some way to send a message back after each image is
processed.?
I', going to send info back as each step is processed.. checking for virusâ¦.
pass, checking mime type.. pass, checking size.. pass, resign large web
image⦠done creating thumbnail⦠done
Could I use writeOutput(SerializeJSON(result)); multiple times with a
method?
yes or you could just use cfoutput and output it if not using cfscript.
And is the code that starts with if(ckMimeTypeObj.status == 0) {
javascript
or cfscript?  I guess it's got to be cfscript with createObject in it
that's cf code inside cfscript tags
Here's what I did, I have a cf. called img_util.cfc and in it i put all the
functions I need for the site that have to do with uploading and of course give
each it's own method. Then I make a cf. for every instance of uploading that I
need and then fill it with the methods I want do with that uploader. For
example an image uploader needs different things done to it compared to a zip
file uploader, get me drift?
so this code is inside my cfscript tag (it goes around a lot but will wrap it
here just for show, the code calls the img_util cf. and selects the ckMimeType
method:
cfscript
ckMimeTypeObj = createObject(component,img_util).ckMimeType(
ckFile = locFile,
allowedMimeTypes = variables.attributes.allowedMimeTypes
);
/cfscript
-
ckMimeTypeObj: this calls the img_util cf. and you can use this as the return
ckMimeType: method I want in img_util
ckFile: this is the file I am checking and name was assigned prior to this step
allowedMimeTypes: gets the mimes I have passed in in ajax form in hidden field
This code processes what the img_util method passes back, I pass it in in son
variable named results:
if(ckMimeTypeObj.status == 0){
result.status = ckMimeTypeObj.status;
result.message = ckMimeTypeObj.message;
writeOutput(SerializeJSON(result));
abortObj = createObject(component, cfc.utilities).abort();
} else {
result.status = ckMimeTypeObj.status;
result.message = ckMimeTypeObj.message;
}
---
if(ckMimeTypeObj.status == 0: im my method if there is an error I set
result.status to 0, if it's ok I set it to 1. So this code says that it the
result.status variable passed back is 0 then add the status error message
back to the script by outputting the results back to the script and then the
abort is in a custom cf. I have that makes it so I can use abort in cfscript
which will be in cf9.
if the results came back as
if(ckMimeTypeObj.status == 1
then the script would set the variables it got back and move on to the next
step. It will eventually have an output to report this step back though and all
I need for that is to add a writeoutput
} else {
result.status = ckMimeTypeObj.status;
result.message = ckMimeTypeObj.message;
}
would become
} else {
result.status = ckMimeTypeObj.status;
result.message = ckMimeTypeObj.message;
writeOutput(SerializeJSON(result));
}
Just so you can see what's all going on here is the ckMimeType method from
img_util

Re: Is this possible with component methods in cf8?
You can't send back multiple returns in same method but you can just output the data which is what the flash part is looking for and it reports it back to ajax script as many times as you need, doesn't matter if it is once or 1000. Or you can loop over the method and grab each return and send it back which is what he wants. The uploaders are fairly simple how they work but 99% of the people that use them don't understand what they are doing. Basically the flash file grabs the upload and pipes it to the temp upload folder it uses and then it calls your processing page to come get it (doesn't matter how or what language so long as you get it), then your scipt uploads it from the flash temp file to your temp file (in this case cfm's) so really the cfm isn't uploading at all it is just moving the file from 1 temp folder to another. After that you can do whatever you want the flash file doesn't care, it just waits for data to push out which is just outputted data and then it just sits there even if you are done and the script should close down the flash connection when it gets it's data it needs and is done with the flash part. uploadify and swfupload though uploadify looks easier to implement i I have a port of swfupload to jquery but I believe the isse I had was sending back correct error messages. No, your cfc method won't be able to send back multiple returns. Instead, the flash uploader will upload the files one at a time to your CFC but your user will have the experience of sending them all at once. You will be able to customize progress reports as the flash object will publish javascript events notifying progress of each upload. This is true of both uploadify and swfupload though uploadify looks easier to implement if you are at all familiar with jQuery (and probably even if you are not).

Re: Is this possible with component methods in cf8?
What if the images have other data that go with them like descriptions? Just as easily you could first make a temp folder with a uuid or session as the name and dump them in there without having to zip them. If you have more than just the picture such as a description or other data then multi uploading isn't a good way to go. Another option is to use a zip utility to handle more than one image. This can allow for as many files as you want. Simply upload one zipped folder and then do a recursive loop inside of the zipped folder to grab all of the images. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: How to handle CF variables in JS (jQuery) external files...
Now there you go again, Dave...disrupting... :o) Well you guys named me so I gotta live up to it now! Although I don't get many chances these days unless your name is don and then i'm all in! I just use cfinvoke when I need to That's ok but IMO calling objects opens up a cleaner style especially when you can do it in a cfscript block at start of page and do all the processing there.. makes it much cleaner. Plus then you know how to easily call java and a lot of times it's just as easy to call java but with major speed improvements. But you are doing ok especially since you just got off cf 2.5 ;)~ but almost all of my calls these days are ajax. me too, you just gotta remember not have any sensitive data in those calls since it is open to the world, look in firebug and you can see the pages they go to the variables sent etc.. Using transfer has cut my obj calls down a ton which is super nice, I know cf9 will have orm but I have given up on adobe at this point and gone to railo. Anyway...I must confess...I don't use (shhh) cfc objects. I've never quite gotten into that part. I just use cfinvoke when I need to, but almost all of my calls these days are ajax. So...I've never starting instantiating objects (or whatever that's called). I've never even written createObject... in any of my code. (wha!!!)

Re: How to handle CF variables in JS (jQuery) external files...
You are trying to make 1 thing better at the expense of making another thing worse.(you really are wills brother!) I know what you are talking about by passing in dsn to cfc but that really is a bigger issue on large apps with multiple dsn's, if you only have 1 dsn and if you only change it in 1 place (application.dsn) then there is no real benefit of doing it that way. SO if your dsn is always going to be application.dsn then you could just put in it the init function in every cfc or pass it in the cfc object call and hard code application.dsn in there which is the same thing as you are trying to do but without exposing it. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: How to handle CF variables in JS (jQuery) external files...
values = { dsn: 'cfoutput#application.dsn#/cfoutput' }
So lemme get this straight... you are going to put your dsn into a js var?
You might as well just output it on the page for all to see ;)
You can change extension or output the cfm into a dummy container and then have
jquery pick it up after it loads. If you change extension and it loads before
document ready and you have code dependent on that then you are gunna be SOL.
Now a good js programmer might get around this but if you are asking then you
ain't one of them! ;)
However the best way would probably be to use jquery to load the cfm code
after it loads.
say I have a cfm page called data.cfm that has a table that has user info and a
cfc call. I want this to load after dom sometimes because say I
add/update/delete a user without leaving page but want the table to update.. I
just run the ajax call and then reload the data,cfm page to fill it back in
like so:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(#submit).click(addPhoto);
$('#dataresponse').hide();
$('#load').hide();
$(.submitIt).hide();
$(#galleryTable).load(data.cfm);
Hi, all.
I've decided to try to use some external .js files for a login routine for a
site management area
instead of repeating the jQuery code on every page checking for login status
and running ajax
login routines.
I just realized, however, that when I put my jQuery code into an external
.js file, that CF will no longer
process the CF variables I use in the jQuery code, typically for the
#application.dsn# variable, as in:
$(document).ready(function() {
values = { dsn: 'cfoutput#application.dsn#/cfoutput' }
When that code is part of a .cfm file, of course the #application.dsn# is
processed,
but in the external .js file, it's not.
Other than hard-coding the dsn name into the value for the js, what
alternative is there
for this situation?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Rick

He did ask this on the railo list, and then got his ass handed to him again Einstein's ? isn't about url rewriting at all which I told him before but since we all know how well he listens, I guess when you get stomped on so many times this happens. His ? is how to change/hide the railo admin url location so the public can't get to it. The only part of this that's url re-wrting is that's what people suggest to do to hide the admin.

Re: jvm.config and Mac OS X
I seem to recall that you can do something similar. I rn into an issue where I have 1.6 active and cfbuilder wouldn't start and turned out eclipse needs 1.5 to run and there were some articles on using whichever one you needed but I forget how it did it. I guess I would setup an tomcat/apache for one.

Re: jvm.config and Mac OS X
yeah that won't quite do the trick, you still need to change a file, i blogged it here http://www.deliciouscoding.com/post.cfm?entry=change-default-leopard-java-jdk-1-5-to-1-6-the-easy-way This has been driving me batty for quite a while A few months back, Appel released an update to Java. After installing this update, I was unable to use cfhttp or hit web services that used SSL. Typically this would not be a huge deal, but the main project I am on right now needs to make calls to SkipJack for payment processing - which uses SSL (big surprise, huh). Anyway, it was a pretty simple fix to get this resolved, I simply set the 'default' java version to Java 5 in the 'Java Preferences' 'app' in OS X and all was right with the world. Fast forward a few months and now I want to play with CF9 (which I have deployed as a WAR file to my JRun instance). I want CF9 to use Java 6 (I am not sure why...I just do). I thought this would be a quick fix: Copy jvm.config to cf9jvm.config Set the java.home (java.home=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home) Make other changes to point to right CF instance Change debugging port (so I can run CF9 and CF8 at the same time) Then, I simply start CF9 using /Applications/JRun4/bin/jrun -config /Applications/JRun4/bin/cf9jvm.config start cf9 When I fire up CF9 cf admin, it shows that it is still using Java 5. No matter what I have tried, it still starts with Java 5. can anyone shed some light on this?

Re: Help with creating a filename field
I'm in the middle of remaking a decent jquery uploader for my admin sites and here is what i do ( for the whole upload): 1. photo uploaded via jquery flash and sent to a cfc, I send a long with the file variables for file size, mime whether or not I want to run the virus scanner. I do not try and rename yet. 2. File is run through cffile to upload and I have set up a small partition on another hd on the same server thats only purpose is to have a safe place for uploading and processing before delivery to final folder. 2a. runs antivirus check if it is selected with clamav. If it reports as a virus it is renamed with the site it came from(this uploader is for server), clamps permissions down on it and moves it to quarantine folder and emails me a message with all the info. 3. after uploading it runs a java mime check 4. then runs a file size check 5. if it passed those it moves the file to a processing folder and then renames the file with a uuid for a temp file name. 6. run a scan of upload folders and delete any orphaned files over 1 hr old. 7. pass the temp uuid back to the upload script which inserts it into a hidden form field, it also gets additional variables for the image processing at this time and inserts them into form as well. These are for things like final img size, thumb size, dest folder name, conver image, convert to, etc.. 8 user fills out rest of form and submits via ajax to cfc again and final processing starts. 9. checks the destination folder to make sure it exists if not create it and any additional folders needed (large, thumbs, additional, files) 10. gets image info for height and width 11. create new name... either use part of the form that was submitted if it has any seo worth, like if it's an employee profile then I would use their first and last name then company name then just to be extra special(not like Don special) I will add the date at the end so would end up like: john-doe-acme-drugs-09212009.jpg, of course if they are adding more images then put a counter on it. 12. if it's just a file them move it now and add info to db 13. if its an image then I convert it to a png and then back to whatever format you passed in. I do this to strip jpg exif data out without loosing quality. 14. then i check the height and with against the uploaded imag height and width against the size of the large img var that was passed in and if bigger than resize down 15. sharpen it and copy it to the final folder 16. do the same with thumbs 17. if additional image is set do that here now as well 18. if all is ok then enter it all into db and send back ok message to upload script, if not ok then it rolls back and fetches imgages and deletes them. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Help with creating a filename field
it does check.. well it runs a java check then compares that with list of acceptable ones and then with the file. Unfortunately both can be spoofed and haven't seen a real good solid solution yet. It's hard to believe there isn't a real good solid way yet. And if it did get by and it was set to be resized the image checker would puke on a code file. It's also uploading on a separate partition of a separate hd outside the root and running on a mac server so it would be pretty tough to get that to work. Would be a good idea to also check the file extension of the uploaded file, otherwise you may get a .cfm file uploaded with a spoofed mime type of image/jpg for example. 2009/8/24 Dave l cfl...@jamwerx.com ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: jQuery question
you can hit the cfc directly just fine and you did the right thing by setting
the returntype in the call instead of in the cfc so you can reuse the cfc
without returning just json.
Are you sending a form or hard coded info?
BTW~ jquery doesn't handle json very much, they have a getJson tag which is
useless if you want to gather info back from an ajax call since it asks for the
file.
if you are sending a form then serialize it and it gathers the fields and sends
it which will be a struct the same as a reg form
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: '/cfc/users.cfc?method=addUserreturnFormat=json',
data: $(form).serialize(),
or with vars
var password = $('input[name=password]');
var password2 = $('input[name=password2]');
var data = 'password=' + password.val() + 'password2=' +
password2.val()

So I will ask again and hopefully, I'll find my oasis again. :) Does anyone know of such an app that is fully open source?

Re: New CF8 vulnerability
Thats the trouble with bundling things. I used to think it was nice but really it creates these types of things. Have you seen the video of the guy hacking sites with this? It's not a CF-only issue. However, CF comes bundled with FCKEditor and other scripting languages don't. If you don't allow uploads to web accessible directories, you don't have anything to worry about. However, the default install of CF 8.0.1 on Windows does allow uploads to web accessible directories.

I have done it but I don't anymore. That's true with any server, any platform, any scripting language, I don't know why they are making this out to be a cf only issue. I have 3 hd's, #1 is the os and apps, #2 is partitioned with 99.9% of it beingbu stuff and the rest is just few folders that the uploads go into and run thru doing what needs to be done with them. #3 is web server. So cfm files an only be run out of the #3 hd. So if I upload the files to an isolated partition with min permissions how who they run that cf file? That drive isn't accessible from the web I have no ftps or any incoming connections to that drive. They could of course hack into the server itself and then move the file manually to the web server drive then go get it ;) If there's a default web accessible URL path for uploaded files, , and that directory is configured to execute CF files, an attacker can simply upload a .cfm file, and run it to do anything CF can do: CFEXECUTE, access databases, connect to outbound FTP servers, etc. You may not allow the first of those, but it's far less likely you're blocking the others.

Re: How to clean out HTML from a CFDIV?
did you try
document.getElementById(whatever).innerHTML=;
I have a CFDIV which is filled up with an error message issued by an
Ajax routine.
The only problem is that under certain circumstances, when I open the
window that it appears on, the leftover error message from the last
invocation is still sitting there.
Much of what I am doing is initiated thru Javascript, so I need to
find a way to clean out the message from Javascript too (if the
message exists).
The cfdiv looks like this: cfdiv ID=UserNameDiv
bind=url:CheckUserName.
cfm?NewUserName={oUserName}OldUserName={OldUserName} /
The following result code is placed into the cfdiv when the error
occurs: div style=color:red; Your Preferred UserName is already
in use. Please choose another./div
Can anyone suggest how I can clear this out, using Javascript, before
I start up?

Re: New CF8 vulnerability
If there's a default web accessible URL path for uploaded files Well that's why you don't do it. I have done it but I don't anymore. That's true with any server, any platform, any scripting language, I don't know why they are making this out to be a cf only issue. I have 3 hd's, #1 is the os and apps, #2 is partitioned with 99.9% of it beingbu stuff and the rest is just few folders that the uploads go into and run thru doing what needs to be done with them. #3 is web server. So cfm files an only be run out of the #3 hd. So if I upload the files to an isolated partition with min permissions how who they run that cf file? That drive isn't accessible from the web I have no ftps or any incoming connections to that drive. They could of course hack into the server itself and then move the file manually to the web server drive then go get it ;) If there's a default web accessible URL path for uploaded files, , and that directory is configured to execute CF files, an attacker can simply upload a .cfm file, and run it to do anything CF can do: CFEXECUTE, access databases, connect to outbound FTP servers, etc. You may not allow the first of those, but it's far less likely you're blocking the others.

Re: File upload with cffile errors with Mac OSX
The flash player on a mac sometimes needs an output to work right especially on file uploads. How you do this depends on how you are doing the upload... basically if you are doing it newbyish or in a cfc or custom tag.. Either show some code or just output something like one of these: writeOutput(1) #1# There's a lot of different browsers you can use on a mac, might need more information than that. I use Safari and Firefox, and regularly upload using cffile with no problems. On Jun 20, 2009, at 1:13 PM, ColdFusi ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: CFC and jQuery
depends on what you have in cfc as well, are you seeing the response in firebug?
shouldn't this:
var resp = jQuery.trim(response);
be this:
var resp = $.trim(response);
are you on adobe or railo?
railo this wont work yet:
queryformat=column
where you getting datastring from?
I am trying to call a query from a CFC using jQuery with the following
code:
$(document).ready(
function () {
$.ajax({
type: GET,
url: SpellChecker.cfc?method=getTextMemoFieldsreturnformat=json
queryformat=column,
data: datastring,
success:
function(response) {
var resp = jQuery.trim(response);
alert(resp);
}
});
});
When I look at the data inside an alert it looks exactly like it
should. However, when I try to get to the values inside of it (e.g.
resp.DATA) it is always undefined. Do I need to perform an extra step?
I appreciate any advice I can get on this.
Thanks,
JW

Re: Dreamweaver CRASHES!!!
surely it couldn't be vista! ;) cfeclipse isn't difficult and there are plenty of blogs that show you how. 1. dl install eclipse 2. install cfeclipse, follow instructions on http://www.cfeclipse.org/download.cfm 1. Select the Help-Software Updates-Find and install menu option. 2. On the screen that is displayed, select 'Search for new features to install' and click the 'Next' button. Now click the 'New Remote Site' button. 3. Enter a name for the update site, for example CFEclipse. In the URL box, enter http://www.cfeclipse.org/update; and click the OK button. 4. You should now have a 'CFEclipse' node in the 'Sites to include in search' box. 5. Tick the 'Stable CFEclipse' box and click 'Next'. 6. Eclipse will contact the CFEclipse site and retrieve the list of available plugins. Tick the plugin with the highest version number and click 'Next'. 7. The next instructions are self-explanatory, agree to the license, install the software and restart Eclipse 8. Once Eclipse has restarted CFEclipse should have been successfully installed. 3. open eclipse and right click in navigator panel and choose new project 4. that brings up a window called select wizard, open up the cfeclipse folder and choose cfml project 5. new window called cfeclipse project: type in your project (or sites name), next if it is a new empty site and you want to use the default location hit next, if you want to use your own location uncheck the use default location box and choose your location. For example since I am on a mac I keep my web site folders in a directory called sites, so I brouse to that folder and go in and select my projects folder and hit next and you should be done. 6. open up the project in navigator pane and go to work. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:318595 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Open BlueDragon and Railo - ready?
I don't want to use the jetty bundle, etc.. I want to put it on a server and run some of my own sites on it to see how it is in real world environment and not much info on that. I just did a search again and Luis (aka mr coldbox) just put up a blog entry today about it. I did try openBD awhile back but had some issues.. the first was no admin, the second was that when I hooked tomcat into apache it was fine but if myself or the guy I let use the server would go into the xserve tools and do anything in site admin it would go through all the sites and recompile the vh directories and take my tomcat hooks out. The xserve admin tools are of course beautiful and so simple to use but when you start going outside of what it is set up to do it blows. Even weirder is that tomcat comes pre-installed but not running or hooked to apache. Since then dillhole started running his sites with wordpress and immediately got sql injection (rock on php), so I had hms wipe the server and just install reg leopard so I could have more control. Its just a war. There really isn't much of an install. I wrote a blog entry about getting things running for BlueDragon JEE it is the same stuff for OpenBD or Railo etc. Heck for local dev and tinkering Railo and OpenBD both come with a jetty bundle...download and click start.

Re: Open BlueDragon and Railo - ready?
btw~ thanks for the link I would like to keep it apache based so tomcat is probably my answer. My thing is that I just want to try the options before cf9 comes out, I was going to buy a cf8 license but since it's fairly close to the new one I am waiting. But if one of these works then hey why not! I should probably add that there is really nothing wrong with running the Jetty/OpenBD(Railo) bundle on production. I personally favor Tomcat but Jetty is good as well.

Re: : Re: Getting cfimage to read .eps file
dammit wrote a long answer and it cut it off. bottom line is this... An eps file is not an image file, it's an encapsulated postscript file or something but it's technically not an image just like a pdf isn't an image or a psd isn't an image and ai isn't an image, they aren't supported types either. If the file types isn't in the supported types then it isn't supported, it is pretty clear cut. You can upload any type of file you want but cfimage isn't going to give you the results you want because the file type isn't supported. cffile can give you some of what you might need but cfimage won't. @Dave - That is an option to not allow our users upload that format, but the my Client would like to allow the .eps format to be uploaded.

Re: : Re: Getting cfimage to read .eps file
No You guys need to understand that that cfimage is meant to work with images, hence the image part of the name and and eps IS NOT an image, so if it is not an image how can it read it? You'll have just as much luck uploading a zip file and trying to use cfimage to get it's info. Unless you are saying to just physically change the the eps to an image file and the answer would still be no, changing the postfix doesn't change the file type. Try to use an eps in a reg html img tag and see if it displays on web... it won't because IT IS NOT an image format. You know how on your car right by the gas cap it says unleaded fuel only? So if the fuel is the format then they are telling you that it will only work with unleaded fuel. So would you hook up your garden hose and fill your tank with water and expect it run? After all they are both liquid but does that mean they are the same? You could hook into command line and run it against a conversion program or like Mark said maybe a java class and return it but if you have a hard time understanding that if it isn't on the supported formats then it isn't going to be supported then I would assume you won't be doing any java programming. I have been watching an I am curious. I don't have a ton of experience with the cfimage tag, just simple implementations, so maybe some of you might know this. In regards to this question, would it be possible to have cfimage change the 'image' type from .eps to .gif or .jpg? If it is possible, then he could do a conversion and then read the converted file for the required data. Any thoughts?

Re: : Re: : Re: Getting cfimage to read .eps file
The part that it wasnt posted online before I posted it, I am sorry that I don't stay glued to every second of the list. And I guess I am sorry for being the only one willing to reply to such a self-explanatory question. And your response to this below hasn't even posted to the web list as of yet, so don't assume it's instant. As far as my research.. no, it is just common knowledge. But if the tag would have supported it don't you think it would be listed? MIME type of image/eps or image/x-eps yes and have you ever seen one of these files displayed as an image without a plugin? And that vector plugin is just oh-so popular. Hey ya know what.. at least I answered your question, everyone else ignored you, I was just telling you the reason why. So Dave tell me. What part of the below response I sent out before you sent out your reply, about 10 minutes before, didn't you understand? --- Begin Prior Posting --- @All Respondents - Thanks for everything. I think my best course of action is to explain to my Client about .eps files and have them make the decision to not allow that file type to be uploaded for what I have to do with uploaded images. --- End Prior Posting --- And since you seemed to do you research. Did you know that an .eps file can also be a Vector Graphic File, hence an image with the MIME type of image/eps or image/x-eps. But I'm sure you already knew that, right? Knowing this is what spawned my question about it about possibly finding out how CF might support such a file using cfimage. And come on lighten up, it was just a question about an supporting and image. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313986 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: : Re: Getting cfimage to read .eps file
Ah, so eps is more like a 'psd' file rather than a 'png' file. yes.. you can export an image file from it but it is more of a graphics file than an image. Even if you could display it there is no reason to actually do so since the files are huge. Now don't be rude I wasn't actually trying to.. that is just the way it comes out. I had thought that maybe 'eps' was a proprietary format similar to 'gif' is It is mostly made for print work using vector drawings and since printing takes a lot higher quality the file size isn't optimized for a smaller foot print. And really the resulting image needs to be flattened for web work. It like a psd is a layer format which makes it more difficult for the web, although png tiff can be layered. Don't get me wrong I wasn't saying it was impossible to do anything with the file, I was just saying cfimage won't do it and that is why it isn't listed under the supported formats. You could always upload it and run a command line to open it in illustrator, convert it and then have cfm do whatever with it.

Re: verity cfscript
I get that when I tell it to index a cfm page that it indexes the page, I just think it would make more sense to index the resulting output and not the code. When google indexes the pages it doesn't index the source code per-say. With it setup like it is now it would seem to say that the majority of the users would want it to index and display source code which I would have a hard time believing that is the case. I was wondering something down the line of what Ray said and that it has rules I would assume that one of its rules might be to do something when it finds the word script in between tags which might explain why it is happening with cfscript but not cfset. Verity works well for document searching but I still am a little puzzled about it. Anyways... just talked with client and we are pulling it and looking at just putting all the info into a db and making it just a db search. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313623 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: verity cfscript
I have seen the vspider but there is too many ?'s and not enough time to figure out all i need for that. It's just seems odd that in all the books and examples that it doesn't mention this and the default files include .cfml .cfm but who would actually want it to search the actually source code? I can see searching the resulting output since that is what you think it actually should be searching. It is also weird that it is just picking out things inside of cfscript, so if it was actually grabbing all the source code then you would see more code but there isnt. If this is how it really works then it is pretty worthless IMO. If you tell verity to index .cfm files it'll read the source. As far as I know you can't stop that (I know less and less about Verity these day!). Look into using the vspider. Google will throw up some answers but the short of it is, it'll crawl your site via the web so you'll end up indexing it as a user sees it. Let us know if you find out different.

Re: verity cfscript
Yes and no dave.. I figured as much when I was doing it but if it does index the source code then why wouldn't it index all of the source code and not just whats inside a cfscript tag? Or why would it not index the source code when moved inside a cfset tag instead of cfscript? Or why would I have the EXACT same code on other pages and they don't show it the results? the output is: p a href=index.cfmindex.cfm.cfm/abr / div style=font-size:12pxstrTitle = title blah blah blah; strDesc = desc blah blah blah; some reg generated page content here./div /p I will look at the google mini but I guess I just thought that cfm including verity could actually do the job. The defaults are set to index coldfusion pages and if they expect them not to have any cfm code then they would just be reg html pages.. I guess I will look at Lucene as well I have a verity collection and it is picking up some cfm code.

As Adrian mentioned, if you index .cfm files directly, you're indexing source code, not generated output. CFML tags won't show as readily because the browser will ignore them, but I'm betting they're there. To index generated output, you have to crawl HTTP URLs. The vspider utility will let you do this, but the bundled version of vspider has some significant limitations. If crawling HTTP content is important, you might take a look at the Google Mini, which is an appliance that does exactly this.

Re: Extending Application.cfc
yes Will but he might actually have more than 1 site to move so it could be an issue (couldn't resist!) I do agree though that you should mirror your sites with production just because you use apache locally and iis in production doesn't really matter, the goal is to make each one a root. You could make mappings as well but if you are on shared hosting that can be a pain, it's easier to just do one in app.cfc and then can change it once for all of them if need be. So, basically, if I don't want to rethink and rebuild my whole development environment, I should stick with good 'ol Application.CFM? There you could simply do cfinclude template=../Application.cfm. Dude, I went through this same exact issue. I fought and fought myself over changing my development environment. Do what I didinstall apache, change a few simple settings in apache's httpd config file, add a few dev domains in your windows hosts file, and presto, you have an easy fix.

Re: Windows CF8 VPS?
Calling a hosting provider to set a mapping on YOUR box should cost you. Having that host install CF ON HIS BOX should cost him. IT'S HIS BOX. ok so they should have charged him $300 or whatever it was for what should have been 1 minute of their time... yeah thats a great deal jim!! SIGN ME UP! Coldfusion was already installed, they just didn't apparently read that 1 page in the manual either and since they didn't know how to do it they blamed it on coldfusion. And they couldn't even do the mapping right and THEY (as in ct) said cf needed to be re-installed (which of course it didn't) because they didn't know how to do it.. so I guess THEY should be reading that 1 page of the manual which you would assume they should already know but instead they took his money and the simple job still didnt get done, pretty damn ridiculous if you ask me. But then again any given person can have a problem with any host. If you're that fundamentally illiterate about the technologies involved you've no business running a server. You are right jim and he shouldn't be running a server. His old partner ran the server before and left him hanging with it. But he understands that and doesn't mind paying for something to get done but consistently ct does just what it did in the previous example and take his money and not get the request done. In the meantime when his contract with them is up he is leaving and going to a managed server which is where he should be. That's an outright lie. CT servers are behind very good, industrial HARDWARE firewalls That's NOT what they told me and thats NOT what they told him. Actually they told him that there is ZERO protection and that his server was full of Trojans and all that crap and so he called me on other line and we 3 way called and he flat out told me there is no protection whatsoever on their system and of course they talked him into letting them clean his server for $500 (which was probably a scam). But again he shouldn't be on his own server but what you are saying and what they said are 2 different things. So if that is the case then they purposely duped him outta $500 and I dunno which way is worse. None of these assertions can be backed up by the original request. The requestor only said that he didn't like the performance or support. No assumptions can be made about his skill level. Ok so he says basically that he needs support, you don't need a zune manual to figure that part out. If he knew enough about running his own server then he could have tweaked the vps to increase the performance since he has quite a bit of control of the machine which is a pretty good indicator that he'd have a hard time with a self-serve ded box if he didn't like the support he got then don't you think he just might need support on a ded box because he quite clearly states that support is one of the reasons he is leaving, which would mean he is needing it. I assume that anybody looking for a VPS or dedicated box has the basic skills required to actually use that service. Well that's cause you assume instead of actually reading what they ask or say. What is funny is that when someone who can run their own server posts this question you don't throw out your $85 server.. go figure continue to bitch EVERY TIME I CONFER MY OPINION. Yes I do BITCH Jim because every time someone comes on who say they NEED SUPPORT and COLDFUSION you throw out this $85 server which does NOT include neither SUPPORT OR COLDFUSION which very very much mis-leads the people into thinking it's an option when 98% of the time it ends up not being a real option for them. If you want to CONFER YOUR OPINION then at least state the facts that it does NOT include support or coldfusion so that the poster understands that there are different types of dedicated boxes and services offered because most people just don't know that a dedicated plan at host a is very different then dedicated plan at host b. I think it would be pretty rare for someone who is actually able or qualified to run their own server to come on here and ask for info on hosting. Would it be so hard for you just to say hey I got a ded box at ct for $85 a month and I love it but do understand that price does not include support or coldfusion. Because at least then it wouldn't get their hopes up. If it was me and I listened to you and went and got the server and then found out there is no support, there is no coldfusion, there is no av, there is no backups and on and on... i'd be frickin pissed as hell and by the time i added all that I would be right back up to a managed server, lol To the poster, IMO you should at first start with a managed dedicated box until you learn how to run and use it then go to unmanaged.

Re: Windows CF8 VPS?
Yes Jim but if he is not satisfied with the support then common logic would say that he DOES need support in which case he'd be SOL at crystal tech because that price comes with exactly 0 support and if you do need support they rape and pillage you there. If you can afford the year in advance then why not buy your own server and co-lo it? Opinions vary greatly (I love them, other hate them) but you can get a very nice dedicated box (no VPS) for that price at CrystalTech. I pay $89 for their entry-level box which happily supports my sites. You get a large allotment of a shared SQL Server or you can, of course, install your own copy.

Re: Windows CF8 VPS?
Like I have said before.. I work with a guy who has a dedicated box at ct and it's a joke, i have never seen someone break more things (including a 3 day old loaded mbp) over their service. As far as charging for PITA.. well my personal fav was when he needed at virtual mapping made to a folder outside the root. First they charged him $300 to try it and then an additional $750 to re-install cfm because they said it was the problem (of course it wasn't) and after all that they still couldn't get it done so he called HMS who helped him do it over the phone in 30 seconds. The bottom line is that if you get a bare boned server like you do at ct then you better know WTF you are doing and if you are asking what you need to do or how hard it is then you shouldn't be even attempting to do it on your own. And if you don't know any of that stuff then you shouldn't be trying to do backups or any of that either. CT servers also dont have ANY protection whatsoever on them, not even a decent firewall. Oddly enough I've NEVER seen a dedicate host that has offered any kind of Anti-Virus or protection software standard Mine does jim, comes with norton anti-virus. The other thing to look for or ask is how many coldfusion techs they have, i don't know about some of these other places people have mentioned but I know in several dealing with ct we had to wait until the next day or so for a cfm tech to come in. I'm not saying that you don't get good service there Jim but these people that ask and then you say well i got a ded box for $85 a month and they don't realize that that comes with no support (aka unmanaged) it also doesn't come with cfm so if you need support and cfm you are right back up to what a managed server is anyways. Now this guy i am doing work for who has server there has no idea about running a server, his old partner did all that and so when his partner left he was left with this server. He also found out there was no firewall or av or any protection on there and the server was filled with malware and trojans. I spoke specifically with a HMS manager and was told the don't do bare servers just for that reason, they don't want that crap in their system and so they don't offer that service. So that is also something else to think about. You're a smart guy jim and you can run the server but most people can't. Yes Jim but if he is not satisfied with the support then common logic would say that he DOES need support in which case he'd be SOL at crystal tech because that price comes with exactly 0 support and if you do need support they rape and pillage you there. Yet again: I've never been upset with the support I've gotten I've gotten at Crystal Tech. I've never been charged for it the few times I've needed to take advantage of it. Perhaps they only charge pains-in-the-ass? Since no specifics were given I'm not sure if the original poster would fall into the pain-in-the-ass category or not. When running your own server I honestly can't see why you'd need support for anything but the most basic plumbing anyway. Most everything is self-serviceable using the control panel or management tools. And most of that is well-documented in the knowledge base and the little that isn't tends to be covered in the forums. If you ignore those resources and just call support I see no reason NOT to charge you.

Re: Hosting Problems
First of all if you need to install your own tags then you shouldn't be on shared hosting and if you do choose to use them and IF and I said IF the host will even let you install them at all but you shouldn't expect them to be an expert on every tag out there. I have had them install tags for me and it was a very good experience. Like sean says, everyone will have different experiences. But compared to everyone else I have tried they are by far the best. I have a ded winblows box and a colo'd apple xserve there and when you do get up into the dedicated boxes you do get a special line in to either the dedicated team or to the senior most techs on duty, which does make a difference. as for Mary's issues well, i know i have issues with her cart at hms and she is quick to blame hms but I just don't buy into it. All HMS does is run seefusion to limit long running processes and shuts them off after 50 seconds, which was one of the main problems with the cart but the queries shouldn't be taking 50 seconds to run anyways. And I know she has blamed their servers for slow dbs as well but all mine and everyone else's queries run great. This even continued when moved to ded boxes.. not so much but still does. And every time we go over this it is denied and implied no one else has had the problems but fyi~ my inbox usually gets around 20 ppl saying they have the same issues but they don't want to ay anything in public.. Sorry mary but client is bustin my balls over that damn cart again this weekend... If your issue is as big as you say it is then email Neil (one of the owners) at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he will get it taken care of. But don't expect the world if you you aren't willing to pay for 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:300803 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Hosting Problems
Thats just common sense, you should have already known that. Yes it was a cfx tag. i know they have to review them themselves for malicious code especially on a shared server but we only know that now because of the problems we went through. if they had communicated effectively then this would not been a major problem and caused us many hours and much money. unfortunately communicating effectively has been the problem all along. thanks Adam Richard ~| 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:300804 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: SOT: Holy Grail? Hosting?
They have an excellent customer knowledgebase and support information and support ticket system but would clearly rather limit human interaction to a minimum. Actually they don't, one of my partners still has a dedicated box there and I have to deal with them all the time and they are a complete nightmare. I would sure like to know what this excellent support system is Last week he had an issue and asked me to call them and see what the deal was but I didn't have the ticket # and their excellent support system couldn't even look it up by the customer account and after making it quite clear to me in a very unprofessional manner that I couldn't expect them to and I told him that HMS has no such problems and it is a rather easy thing for them to do and the idiot hung up on me... nice service. So 5 hours later when his plane landed and he got to his hotel and got into his email and got me the ticket # and another 45 minutes on the phone with another idiot and a $150 charge to his account they were actually able to restart the server. Great service, I wish I had them 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. I have been in that panel and its ok but still not as nice as others. 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. LOL, you don't know what I am talking about? Ok so lets say you get on a plane to hawaii and soon as you board the plane your server goes down, well guess what.. its down for for quite a long time before you have any idea and so your customers sites are down as well and nothing can be done until you land and someone tells you which could be 12 hours later. Now that might be ok for you Jim, but its not ok for me! I make it a HUGE deal to my customers to let them know who and where is hosting their site and I make sure they have all the info they need in case they can't find me but can call the host to get something fixed. Personally, I want them them to know WTF is going on with their site and have abilities to get things fixed if something goes wrong and I can't be contacted. After all, it is THEIR web site and they are paying the bills. IMO, there is absolutely no reason in the world to not add that extra layer of protection. To me the way you do it is just another way for you to make money off of your clients, while that is good for you it's not so good for customers. I pay the extra money and pocket less out of the hosting to ensure things are going right. Now you might not have had any problems or maybe you have, i dunno but we just don't agree on biz models. and criticizing them for it seems silly. So for example last week derricks server goes down and since its at ct he cant get it restarted and it takes them several hours to get it back up and going, thats just damn silly aint it Jim. Not to mention all the damn hoops we had to jump through just to verify the account, now maybe it is just me but it shouldnt matter who the hell calls it in, if the damn server is down then get it back on, which was something that their techs just couldnt understand. But problem is that when people on here ask for hosting opinions they dont usually ask if the plans are managed or unmanaged. I know you love CT but I have yet to have a good experience with them, I havent dealt with them a lot but the 30 or so times I have were nightmarish. I can only relay my personal experience... and my personal experience has been excellent. And I will respect that Jim. And I can only relay my personal experience and that of approx 15 other ppl that I know who have used them and have had detailed conversations with me about them. And a lot of those were customers of their and everyone of them have thanked me time after time for taking them to HMS. And my personally experience with has been nothing less than pathetic. ~| 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:299184 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: SOT: Holy Grail? Hosting?
Well thank god Jim that I won't have to much longer! He's had it with them and is moving over to my xserve at hms. I think their charge of $950 to make a virtual mapping was the last straw, which btw~ they couldn't even do right after trying for 3 days(pathetic). I actually had him call up HMS and they walked him through how to do it himself in 3 minutes and he wasn't even their customer. Some people just expect better better things I wasn't saying you were incorrect just asking about things you mentioned as I have surely never seen the good aspects of them. Or when some asks about hosting and you go off on how cheap CT is compared to HMS and then the person thinks thats that wow they are this much cheaper but what they don't understand is that one is a managed server and one is not. Now if you had actually thought about that you'd realize that if someone is asking about hosting on here then chances are pretty damn good that they aren't qualified to be running a server themselves. And so when you tell them how cheap your server is and if they go get it then find themselves completely f*cked when they have signed a contract for the server but cant run it and then have to pay huge amounts of $$ to ct to get help which in the end costs them tons more. And your lil quote below is exactly how you are as well Well then they don't Dave. As we've come to expect all other opinions are incorrect because you're experience differs.

Re: SOT: Holy Grail? Hosting?
I'm not trying to win jerry, just showing that myself along with lots of other people on here have had issues with them above and beyond what would be acceptable. The only people I have seen who speak up for ct are on their own boxes, you don't see many people on their shared servers speak up at all. And when people come on and ask for cheap hosting and people come on and give recommendations of cheap servers but don't give any info on that fact that yes they are cheap but they also don't include any support and really anyone who is looking for cheap hosting probably will need all the support that they can get in which case a cheap server really isn't in there best interest. you can get a plain jane cheap unmanaged server anywere, it's the support when you need it that in my book is where I prefer to be covered. Or like I said before... if i cant be reached and there is a problem I want my customers to know they are covered. Now would you host with someone would tell you that they are running mysql server 2000 and not just once as in a oopsy but as in several times, even after informing them that no such product exists and all that after waiting over 45 minutes on hold to talk to them? Not too mention most of the actual coldfusion team will not host there, too me that says something. While what Jim does is great for him I don't think it would be good for someone who needs hand holding on a server. Obviously, he can recommend whatever he wants but he should also add the facts to it because most people will assume that ct's ded boxes are comparable to hms ded boxes and they aren't, one includes support one doesn't but the average person asking doesn't know that. And personally, if i took jims recommendation and went to ct and signed a contract and then found out I had no support I would be pissed as hell at jim. So if by losing you mean that if someone reads this and has a boner over a $120 a month dedicated box (which I would also assume jim has a cfm license for which isnt included in that cost) and it helps keep them from getting into a major mess, then I am fine with that. I would rather have the facts out there to help them out see how has the cheapest server... and after all.. you get what what you pay for. Dave, as a fairly impartial observer, talking general professional and personal respect, you aren't going to win this one against Jim, I don't think.

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. 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. If you can afford it, dedicated is the way to go.

Re: Email Verification Tool
are you sending them all at once? I would assume you are and thats why you are getting blacklisted. You can only send a few at a time or you will get the whip! I have a client that sends out 30,000 at a time and we shoot them out every few seconds in batches of 25 and i havent been blacklisted yet. You should do that and set up a failto email address and then you can grab and scrub the list. The problem with that is that cfpop is so slow that it takes forever so what we do now is a week after the email blast I check the email with http://www.maxprog.com/ and it checks the mail and spits out a list which I then upload and parse with cfm and remove all the bad emails. Now that I went on that site I see they have something else now, i might buy it and try it http://www.maxprog.com/EmailVerifier.html eMail Verifier works on the same algorithm as ISP mail systems do. Addresses for email are extracted from a Domain Naming Server (DNS) and eMail Verifier tries to connect with SMTP-servers and simulates the sending of a message. It does not send the message though - eMail Verifier disconnects as soon as the mail server informs the program whether the address exists or not. Okay, I'm looking at an interesting situation when it comes to sending out mass emails. We've got a client with about 9000 email addresses on their list and some 2000 are invalid Yahoo and AOL accounts. When they send, our mail server gets blacklisted. Unacceptable. My original though was to have a tool that used telnet and rcpt to commands to validate the email addresses. I've been asked to find out if there is anything out there that will do this already. I found the HexGadget components at http://hexillion.com/hg/ and wonder if it's as simple as that (and if it's fast enough). I've found http://www.pivo.com/Default.aspx?page=featuresproduct=emailvalidator the Pivo validator as well. These are COM objects that appear to handle the tasks. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!
