Re: (Feature Request) Thread view RSS of CFTALK

[Eric Dawson]

thanks for explaining the, now, obvious. I was actually set to ARCHIVE, but was 
confusing it with Digest.

Thanks for responding.

(Feature Request) Thread view RSS of CFTALK

[Eric Dawson]

I have officially been using RSS as my primary source for list subscription.
It works. not sure I need the thread based RSS feed - but would still like.

Since I am using RSS to receive the list information, I would like to be able 
to subscribe, but not receive email delivery.

Hmmm - is the archive a thread view? I never checked.

(feature request) switching from email delivery to RSS

[Eric Dawson]

Wish me luck.

I haven't had time lately to keep up with the lists. ...Fall behind a 
little... yikes.

So I hoping to subscribe to the lists via RSS, but might need a feature 
enhancement or two.

(1) Allow me to subscribe to a list, but not receive email, right now 
archive is the best option - but I would like NOT to receive emails.

(2) I really want a thread based view of a days message, like available 
online, available through RSS.
Last posted, Thread, number of messages. I think that's all I want, I 
can read the threads online if interested.

Take Care,
Eric

RE: BlueDragon no seeing IIS on W2K3

[Eric Dawson]

Yeah I thought I would try here first. I just unsubscribed from the New
Atlanta list, ironically.

...But I did find a post from Charlie stating, paraphrased with artistic
license, "Who Cares". BD works fine from IIS without BD seeing IIS.

I did a test that failed, which made me think the connection wasn't working.
my bad. It really was working.

I think some of the New Atlanta techs are here also, but I could be wrong.

thanks for the advice.

Take Care,
Eric

Eric,

While you may get a good answer to your question here, it would be
more appropriate for  the BlueDragon list run by New Atlanta.  You'll
see a lot of the same faces over there, with the addition of some of
the New Atlanta techs.

installing BlueDragon 6.21/302 on W2K3 and for some reason it isn't seeing

Managing servers in general is a pain in the rear. That said, IP security
policies are quite easy to manage, as long as you know exactly what traffic
you want to allow to and from that server.

User Defined Data Fields

[Eric Dawson]

Are there any standard approaches I can use to allow users to define their
own database fields to extend an online database?

ie

datatable
id
datafield1
datafield2
datafield3
datafield4

datatable-udfield
fieldid
fieldname

datatable-userdefined
id
fieldid
data

The user would be able to edit the standard fields and also create their own
fields for their own use.

I am presuming you are creating the XLS file originally? You can buy bar
code font sets to create barcodes in excel.

Why barcodes?

What is the objective?

User creates entry in formatted excel files - emails or uploads updated
spreadsheet. and faxes in as well? ?for verification?

drop the top 25% and bottom 25%

Maybe a little more discussion on the apps intent will help.

are they cheating really?

What's the nature of the work?

Subject: Dealing with users


Here's a a problem I'm wrestling with.  I have a company doing on-line
performance reviews.  Each employee rates a set of other employees on a
survey which has six categories with between 3 and 7 questions in each
category.

The problem is that there are a couple bad apples who blow through the
surveys rating someone either all 1s or all 5s, throwing off that person's
ratings and effectively ruining the value of the performance review.

My first attempt to stop this was to time the surveys.  People who finished
them in less than five minutes (the cheaters generally take two minutes)
got a message telling them to go back and think about their answers and try
again.  That didn't work because it turned out that several non-cheaters
print out the review and do it on paper, and then login to enter the
answers - since they were working from paper, they finished the review in
under five minutes.

Then I tried checking each category - if all the answers in a specific
category were the same, I rejected the review and told them to do it
again.  No soap - occasionally there are legitimate reviews where one
category has all the same answers.

So then I switched to checking the entire survey.  If all the answers are
same, the survey gets rejected.  It took the cheaters slightly under a
quarter of a second to figure that one out, as you can imagine.

The surveys are all anonymous, so I can't simply go to the person entering
the survey and tell him/her to stop cheating.

Can anyone think of a way to monitor and block the cheaters?

Rich Internet Applications for Mobile Devices

Does anyone has some links to demonstrate the power of RIA for mobile devices?

Also I was asked a question I don't know how to answer - OFFLINE or

(XML presumably) if no connection is currently available?

I want it to run on BlueDragon - so I think I need an earlier version

I did something like this some time ago, I created the word document, put 
place holders in for my data, saved it as an rtf file. I then had to copy 
the RTF text into a .cfm page, process my place holders to put my text in 
and then save the RTF text back out to another file. This worked well. This 
was fine when I could control content of the document. Where this 
requirement now differs is that I want the user to create their own RTF 
documents and then upload them to our web server into a template directory.

Let me run this idea by you, If I provide the user with a list of 
pre-defined merge field codes, i.e. the coldfusion code that maps to a 
required peice of data in the database, so that they can create their very 
own RTF documents, let them upload the document to the template directory on 
the server, I could then read the RTF file line by line to replace the merge 
fields with data and write out completed letters to another file. Does 
anybody see any problems with this idea? Are text file read & writes much of 
an overhead for the server? I envisage that anywhere between 1 - 300+ 
letters may need to be produced at any one time.




you could generate RTF files on the files.

add <> to a word document - save as RTF and us CF to
generate RTF and make available for download.

Re: E-commerce - Make them register or don't make them register

[Eric Dawson]

I think the privacy laws are going this direction - if they are not already
there.

ie no warehousing of customer data unless the customer allows it. and I
think it periodically needs to be reviewed (ie annually).

so if the customer only wants to provide detailed information fo a specific
reason - the company gaining the information can only use this information
for that specific function. ie shipping a purchased good.

Could be wrong.

Re: E-commerce - Make them register or don't make them register

[Eric Dawson]

personal bias - least intrusive data collection. honesty. value.

meaning - don't be intrusive - only ask information as you need it - and
only if you need it.

Create VALUE. in exchange for information. coupons, targetted pricing etc.
notifications, personalization. but only in the context of collecting the
information that is required to create value. ie products you are thinking
about buying - all related coupons, and new products, and product expertise
(buying guides) are sent. and minimal information collected to empower this.

ie justify the information you collect, honestly
returning users - userid/password/email address [ ] optin stuff
Site user survey - postal code. (honesty - stmt on user demographics and how
it helps the company market their products, justify to investors, focus real
world campaigns to build membership : offer shipping calculators into
shopping carts while browsing.
addresses - for shipping, for catalogs, for gifts - save repository for easy
reference and reordering. allow user to edit/delete stored information.
wallets - ditto - payment methods.
demographics - birthdate - (daily/weekly/monthly gifts)

blah blah blah

Re: Need to hire CF Programmer Vancouver

[Eric Dawson]

well you sold me. IMHO I thnk Britta would be quite impressed at how well a
healthy remote relationship could work for her. I'll try not to get
pontifical - but I would like to see her try it.

But I think she has some ideas for the parttime position that would force it
to be local.

get a number in Vancouver and transfer calls.  Also, since all long distance

I am going to do some research on costs to produce yearbooks. more to

Just an FYI here. Yes, although most of us paid for our yearbooks, long 
long ago in a land far far away, that money was only a small fraction of 
the total cost of producing the yearbook (I paid $35 for my senior 
yearbook, and that was 17 years ago.) Most schools defray the larger 
costs through advertising (it was the last 20 pages or so of mine) and 
through fund raisers (man I got tired of those candy bars). And even 
though digital photography has helped to bring down some costs (like 
initial developing), the price of paper has actually increased quite a 
bit since "the old days."

  Hi, all...

  Here's the deal...I've just now begun to send too much email for clients
  through CF
  and I've bumped into a ceiling for daily emails through my ISP's mail
  server, so I have
  to get my own running.

  Still using CF 4.5...Windows 2000 Server...No plans to upgrade CF.
  Buying another server to function as a mail server is not an option at this
  time, so I've
  got to run the mail server for the immediate future on the same box that's
  serving my websites.

  Anyone have recommendations for a mail server...as inexpensive as possible?
  (Can you tell funds are low at the moment?  :o)

  I searched the threads for awhile, but didn't find a discussion of different
  packages,
  so I just though I'd ask the question again, especially since I'm still
  talking CF 4.5.2...

  Thanks for your suggestions...

Subject: SMTP or Telnet tools?

Hi,

I'm looking for a way that I can execute a telnet/smtp session from my CF
code and be able to review the responses from the smtp server for each
command that is sent.

For example, something like this:

Open connection to mail.94percent.com
send helo command
read response
send mail from: command
read response
send rcpt to: command
read response
send data command
send data and "." on last line to finish the send.

I would obviously be adding some conditional code in there to take
appropriate action based on the responses.

I'm on CF MX 6.1 (updater 3) and have tried to use both IPWorks COM object
and TCPCLIENT COM object to no avail.  My server just freezes when I try to
create the object.  I'm assuming they're not compatible with mx 6.1.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

controlling both sides (server and "SitePeeker" client) your checks can be
quite extensive - processor load, hard drive space, number of users, traffic
rates. Colour coding, imagery, drill down scripts. In this model I would
create test scripts for new applications, and run periodically, or in case
of future application updates or system problems - I have an extensive test
script to verify a system's stability.

Big Sister has a system tray tool to monitor servers. I think a necessary
component - I am sure you could extend Matt's to pull/push system status to
a system tray program. Although I wouldn't know the best technologies (would
like to know) to use to build it.

I personally use a short 10 item list in Servers Alive to ping ISP gateway,
my servers, check cf (http to call cfm page w/ db), and services like DNS,
SMTP, POP, FTP. It sits in my system tray and can be configured to email,
ICQ, page etc. You can also configure some reporting functions, but I
haven't taken the time to fully take advantage of its features.

I am planning to implement a Big Sister Server to try it out.

I might try to create something on BlueDragon - I'll check out SitePeeker
tonight. I have an intranet install I can play around with. We have Big
Brother and NetView 6000 for monitoring - but I am hands off those tools.

Get yourself a cheap CF hosting acct and run your own (or run it off
your home broadband for free if you have a cf server license
available).  I wrote SitePeeker (free in the MM devex) and use it to
test smtp, http, https, pop3, cf/db and web mail at 4-minute
intervals.

I used to run it off a $20 / month monthly hosting account but its
been running off my home dsl line for maybe the last two years. 
Emails me whenever something bad happens, and best of all its free.

RE: ADD System?

Subject: Re: ADD System?

I also ran across a similar system Goldbrick (or some such) totally 
proprietary and ridiculously expensive (the manufacturer knew their 
product's days were numbered and were totally milking it)

Best for the client to get off a system like that ASAP! & the client 
might just want to pay you to break the hold the vendor has on him.

As to determining how to do that.

1) As ken suggested, look at the files where the data is stored (a 
combo character hex dump is useful)
2) If not totally encrypted, you might be able to see patterns of data 
and pointers that give you clues how to extract the data
3) Look at how the client inputs and maintains the data for additional 
clues to the structure.
4) Look at the docs for the program-- there are often hooks provided 
where the installer can do (limited) customization -- you might be able 
to impose some programming into these hooks
5) How do they backup restore the database -- you might find that the 
backup data is in a more accessible format
6) How have the upgraded from one version of the Add program to a newer 
version -- often this involves export and import & you may find a more 
meaningful format.
7) Is there a debugging/trace/logging facility -- this could easily 
contain the keys to the kingdom
8) Is there a reporting facility that could be used to essentially dump 
the database(s) to report files.
9) if you can't do reports to files, you could even do them to hard 
copy and OCR read them (as a last resort)
10) What's the URL of the ADD web site -- They know their product's 
deficiencies and often provide forums that discuss these things, or 
sell add-ons (pardon the pun) to compensate for the deficiency -- They 
may charge an arm and a leg for a web interface, but only a few bucks 
for a mail-merge thingie that outputs the db into a format acceptable 
to Word, or something that interfaces Excel

11) Hire a hacker

RE: OT: Excel ?

[Eric Dawson]

I have a few ideas, none of which answer your question. What are you trying
to do?

I might populate the data to the maximum number of queue depth and in the
formulas for the simulated queue data I would check to see of the data
applies.

Otherwise, I guess a macro to generate or copy the formulas to the required
queue depth might help.

Web Query - with queue depth as a parameter might be an easy way to generate
sample data with number of records. 

Tell me more about you are trying to do? create test scripts?

Hi Michael,

This is trivial to do using VBScript in Excel, assuming that you're able to 
run macros.  Are your dynamic rows on the same worksheet as the cell 
containing your number of customers? If you decrease the number of 
customers, are rows deleted?

If you want, send me your spreadsheet off list, and I can add a script to 
get you started.

Subject: Client wants to add data from spreadsheets - HELP!

I have a client who wants to add records to his database (SQLServer2000)
from a spreadsheet.   He takes his laptop to his seminars and adds the
attendees details into his excel spreadsheet, then wants to load all that
data into his SQL database for use in mass emails etc. 

My experience with uploading data to a SQLServer table from a spreadsheet is
that it's very finicky.  The spreadsheet has to be EXACTLY right or it
doesn't work. I've found that it omits fields if they are not formatted
precisely right,  and lots of examples of  text fields going up as numeric
and then bombing out half way down the sheet as it encounters text in that
column.   

The client isn't very good at keeping his data consistent, not really
understanding the difference between column names "EmailAddress" and "Email
Address"  and "EmailAddress".

In short, I'm looking for another way to pin him down to more consistent
data collection.  What can I do that will make it easier for him to upload
the data, still allow him to collect it at his seminars, and be able to
upload the data in a consistent fashion to his Online database without
having assistance from me every time he does it?

Re: OT:DNS question

what dns server?

I do wild cards with MS by
adding a subdomain named "*"
and then I add hosts etc.under the domain.

I am sure bind supports wildcards as well.

works pretty slick. I have some applications that parse the host header to determine the proper domain to display. with the wildcard, I don't have to create any DNS entries, I just create them in my application.

Although I started playing around with the DNS commandline tool included with W2K and it seems easy enough to create domains on the fly as you need them anyway.

  MS Access is a desktop application, it's designed for working on

  If you want a server application, then use a server application

  Just as a note, the Access ODBC driver was limited to 50 concurrent
  connections - as long as your website was getting few enough hits that
  the total connections to the database is less than 50, then you'll be
  fine, but once you break 50, the whole thing breaks

Palindromic Pangram

A palindrome is a sequence of words like "lid off a daffodil" or "shallot
ayatollahs" that uses the same letters reading backwards as forwards. The
words need not form a meaningful or grammatical sentence. 

A palindromic pangram is a multi-word palindrome that includes all 26
letters of the alphabet. Write a program to find a palindromic pangram. Use
this dictionary: WORD.LST 
(1.66MB).
Bonus: find the shortest possible such palindrome in terms of the total
number of words or letters used.



Queens & Knights

In 1850, Carl Friedrich Gauss and Franz Nauck showed that it is possible to
place eight queens on a chessboard such that no queen attacks any other
queen. The problem of enumerating the 92 different ways there are to place 8
queens in this manner has become a standard programming example, and people
have shown that it can be solved using many different search techniques. 

Now consider a variant of this problem: you must place an equal number of
knights and queens on a chessboard such that no piece attacks any other
piece. What is the maximum number of pieces you can so place on the board,
and how many different ways can you do it?

Actually it is one of the best ways to not only learn, but learn a variety
of approaches to a single problem. A lot of the assignments we did in
college (Kevin and I went to college together) were not always interesting,
in fact some were down right boring, but the lessons you learn along with
being able to see different approaches to solving problems was the desired
result. We did problems like a water billing program in Fortran, which was
not very interesting, but definitely helped us learn some more concepts and
put them into practice. 

The idea behind the CF Coding contests are to do nothing more than give
people an opportunity to challenge themselves and eachother and hopefully
walk away knowing a little more then when they began; its all positive and
no one says you have to participate.

With that being said, anyone got suggestions for the next contest? :-)

see how each of us did it.  So the answer is no, I don't have anyone's
submission or email address who submitted, I am just hoping that people
have it saved and can forward it to me.  So far I only have 2 entries.
I would welcome anyone to submit a solution to it even if you didn't

back ago in January would like to submit their code to me, I am in the
process of putting all of our code together so we can at least see how
each of us did it.  Feel free to send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I agree Dick, In fact I felt this way when they deployed Contribute. RIA has
promise but not if these guys lose focus by chasing consumer (including
corporations) markets, and trying to be all things to all developers.  Here
we go again with another round of product releases that we feel completely
left out of.  MM is completely distracted, which considering understandable.
They have alot of challenges - shareholders, banks, a vertical integration
strategy, diversified product portfolio, intense competition - hell that's
enough to keep even the best managed companies distrated.

  Subject: Best Practice for a long report

  I inherited an application that needs more than a little work. But there is an immediate need. They need to generate a report that will be printed...its basically a week planner for several hundred conference attendees showing the workshops they'll attend, etc... 

  I never really ran across a problem like this-- I need to generate the finished report with everyone's planner page so that it can be downloaded and printed and included in their folders conference welcome packages.

  The trouble is that its slow to generate even a single attendees page...there's alot of CF logic...so to do even a few dozen of the pages could potentially timeout the server. 

  What would be the best way to handle the report. Its going to have to be generated several times in the next few weeks...so it would be best if I could write something that slowly generates the report without timing out...and leaves a finished product that could be download in a click or a few clicks. I initially thought I would just schedule a task that would run every so often and append x number of pages to a file or across several files (maybe alphabetical by first letter of last name?) but thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has better ideas.  Maybe I am working too hard...

  Thanks.

Howdy Dick,

I use GoDaddy.  If you can get your volume up higher then consider their
reseller program.  Several months ago I was ticked at them for screwing
some things up and I scoured the rest of the market.  I couldn't find a
better reseller deal (and they fixed my problem :-)).

Re: Windows 2003 Web Edition & ColdFusion

[Eric Dawson]

so what i hear from this is, cf4.5 won't install and work on w2k3 - but... you can do all of the hooks into iis 6 that are required manually. and the really is just the isapi reference.

are there any other issues?

    Thanks - I haven't found this yet, but will keep looking.

    That does make me wonder about one thing though: Since it does work OK with IIS5 on Windows 2000... If one does a Win2000 install first, install CF4.5, and then upgrades it to 2003 Would it inherit the Cold Fusion ties in IIS as well if I do so? Anyone ever tried this?

Re: [Stats] CF-Talk: October 2003

[Eric Dawson]

I'm not against paying, but I would recommend a FREE-FEE model.

maybe charge a membership fee which gives access to some extended/enhancement features like...
- links to archive page for particular thread.
- first up, priority list delivery
- serverside filtering
- best practices database
- editorial content
- list moderation options (web based customization)

just a dump. but the revenue stream would justify some extended feature development.

In fact I would subscribe to houseoffusion - if there was a demonstrated commitment to some new features, and maybe some access to contribute ideas and development. Maybe let Michael define a proprietary core list/web engine w/ an open API for us to build extended (community subscriber open source) modules for the community.

I could commit to $25 per year x 5 years (annual subscription) without thinking. not big $$$ - but not sure if you could squeeze more out of me. 200 subscribers = $5000 per year.

$4 per month? $6 per month?

Also subscribers get access to a fixed rate "buy now", surplus reverse auction ad inventory for email tags, and website directory and banner rotation advertising. (meaning all traffic would have "some" revenue).

  Has anyone used PayPal to set up an online store? I have a customer who
  wants to use it for payment for "premium" site access, as the initial outlay
  is cheaper than Camtech or Verisign... problem is, with the Buy Now buttons,
  the amount gets passed in the form post or URL, so anyone could change it. 

  Now, I thought I could just check that the returned amount was correct and
  disallow access to anyone who tampered with the amount. Except as far as I
  can see, PayPal doesn't send the amount back to you after the transaction,
  although they seem to send a lot of other stuff back to you.

  Anyone have any experience with this?

  Thanks,

Also, does anyone have the CF(?) code that checks/verifies whether a credit

RE: OT: IIS Domain Naming Question

[Eric Dawson]

What is it you need?

I do what you are thinking about and use a wlidcard entry on MSDNS to direct 
all subdomains to my server.

I have a default site on a particular IP Address to direct all www site to 
the application. I find it a pain to have to enter the domain name in IIS 
for each URL using an application, so I keep an IP address specific to the 
application, and use the application to parse the URL.

I think v2 browsers might not pass this information so this approach is not 
without its problems.

Not sure what you need help with.

My setup. *.somedomain.com ==> 122.122.122.122 in my DNS plus any custom 
URLs
www.anydomain.com ==> 122.122.122.122
www.someotherdomain.com ==> 122.122.122.122

pointing to one IP reserved for my application.

I use CFM to determine what URL is accessing the application.

Thanks for this, but what I'm doing is having multiple URLs point to a
single application. Then I'm using the SERVER_NAME variable to determine
the content they receive. We create a new URL for each client and our
naming structure was getting confusing, we needed to add another
indicator.

Thanks though, the wildcard info. may come in handy some day.

Setup a wild card in DNS (if you can) by using the @ for a host Record.
I do not think MSDNS supports this.

Then add a blank host header in IIS and every sub domain that comes to
the server that does not have a host header will be directed to the
Virtual Server with the Blank Host header.

Hi Joshua,

Setting up fully-qualified domain names and subdomains is a function of
DNS exclusively, not IIS.  Are you running your own DNS server?  If not,
and you need more help, what is the actual domain name?

Re: Billing Advertisers

[Eric Dawson]

Sorry was in a bit of a rush yesterday. I am quite far from being an expert 
on the topic, but have thoughts on Internet advertising.

... internet advertising.
I have heard of rates as low as $0.50 to $2.00 cpm.

but other people talk about the $100 cpm they get. (yeah right)

my ad model (not really implemented) is to separate inventory into three 
pieces
(1) Sponsorships
(2) Premium Ad spots
(3) General Rotation spots

I decide an amount I think is easy to sell  - say $25 per month, decide what 
a fair CPM rate is for the inventory. $6.25 cpm for example ==> approx 4000 
impressions. I divide my monthly inventory by the 4000 impressions to get a 
number of monthly ad spots to sell. I have one site which does more than 
200k page view per month. - by my formula I have room for 50 advertisers @ 
$25 per month. $1250 per month.

Once I get the advertisers going they have acccess to the premium inventory 
and sponsorship spots available throughout the site. On the premium spots 
(behind logins where you know a little about the person viewing the site, 
content specific pages, or high visibility pages) I would try to get $25cpm 
for those spots or even auction off to the existing advertisers.

sponsorships I use on a cost+/project basis - and I might use the revenue to 
pay for domain registrations, hosting considerations, content gathering etc.

just some ideas. hth.

What are you guys using other than GoDaddy (i.e. Wild West Domains,
which is their reseller arm)?

I've got about 150 domains in an account with GoDaddy as a reseller of
theirs.  Trouble is they screwed up and now even they cannot apparently
access all but 44 of them.  Also forgot to pay about $300 in commissions
to me as Step 1 of this screwup involved somehow losing my reseller
account.  Oh and they combined some of my customers' private accounts
into my personal one as part of their fix (originally all but one were
lost).

While they sound concerned and responsive this isn't getting fixed, and
domains are expiring that cannot be renewed.

You're right. Matrix must be thowing folks off. But I'm afraid you've lost 
me, now. Let me try again.

I'm working with a body of monthly 500 reports from which I need to distill 
certain information. For the report output (which will take the form of a 
matrix), assume column f is Brown_Eyes and assume row 5 is Big_Feet.

I can easily imagine a query of the DB WHERE brown-eyes AND big_feet returns 
a list of 25 of the 500 db records. But what I want to do is ouput the 
COUNT, not a list of db records.

Is this better?

Rick


I don't think I understood the question. And, given that there's been no
response in the last hour and a half, I suspect no one else did, either.

To me, a matrix is simply an n-dimensional array where n > 1. In a
2-dimensional matrix, column f will intersect row 5 exactly once.

Your query approach suggests that you are working with a matrix of n > 2.
So you are looking for a count of (f, 5, x) is populated where x is the
third dimension.

Am I anywhere near the mark?

Yeah I was able to create a "fake" service to run it -- but the process
was a little screwy -- I had to use a program called SRVANY, part of the w2k
resource kit

That said, it's held up to just about the worst abuse we could throw at
it -- we had it send 35,000 emails and deal with 7,000 bounces the other
day, and we didn't experience any problems.

Would I use it as replacement for outlook? Probably not... but for a backup
SMTP sending tool for out newsletters, it's worked pretty darn well.

I've been using Mercury mail for almost a year without any real problems.
Two things though, it doesn't run as a service and the support for it is not
that great. I'm looking for a new server because I'm not that happy with my
experiance.

RE: FREE BlueDragon Server Released!

[Eric Dawson]

Thanks for the help, and quick response.

My current guess is... I previously had TomCat installed, and I was 
experimenting with using IIS as the thingy for the jangy. There might be 
some residual stuff hanging around. This was essentially a dev box I grabbed 
from a pile, and powered on to test a couple of things.

So I don't quite remember its history. I may install from scratch.

I am running w2k, ntfs. cleaning registry now...

The BlueDragon installer prompts for a web adapter based on registry
entries. My only guess would be that IIS was installed previously and then 
removed, but the registry wasn't cleaned up properly.

Again, BlueDragon detects the presence of IIS based on registry entries--if
the registry entries aren't there, then BlueDragon thinks IIS isn't there.
We've seen this in one or two other cases and are putting together a set of
instructions for manually installing the IIS adapter in this case.

What do you mean by "the administrator crashes"? Does the BlueDragon
administration console display at all or do you get an error message in the
browser? Can you serve the "home page" of the built-in web server:

http://localhost:8080/index.cfm

For completeness, which operating system are you running? Do you have the
disk formatted as NTFS or FAT32?

RE: FREE BlueDragon Server Released!

When I install on a machine without IIS v5, it asks me if I want to install 
the web adapter for IIS.

On another box I have uninstalled ColdFusion and started to install Blue 
Dragon. The installation program does not offer me an option to install the 
web adapter for IIS, and the administrator crashes when I go there later.

Does this make sense?

Yes CFMX and BlueDragon (and CF5) can all peacefully co-exist on the same
machine.

CFMX has a built-in web server that runs on port 8500 by default. BlueDragon
Server has a built-in web server that runs on port 8080 by default--as long
as you don't have anything already installed using port 8080 (such as
Tomcat) you'll be OK. You can also specify a port other than 8080 when
installing BlueDragon.

The only conflict to watch out for is when you go to install a web server
adapter to IIS or Apache--in that case you can only have one of
BlueDragon/CFMX/CF5 attached to the web server.

Unfortunately, as long as the extensibility of the free version is pretty
much non-existent, it's only place will be small limited scope
projects.

Re: (OT) Lindows was (commercial distributions of Linux)

[Eric Dawson]

(server) no question it has reached acceptance. performance and perception.

(desktop) Lindows is "making linux accessible". So there is value for the 
consumer - and that's really what they are charging/paying for. The general 
consumer just wants it to work, they don't care about windows/lindows/linux 
etc, as long as it does the job.

I think the business station in some environments is ready to make the 
switch. But you need companies like Lindows that are going to create the 
"easy" to use distributions tailored to specific needs. (not saying all that 
isn't already out there).

IMO, that would depend on whether it's sweet spot is considered the
server market or the desktop market. I think it's a perfectly viable
server O/S already and needs no commercialization there.

I think it's interesting that the Lindows site *sells* software that
you can easily download for free but this is not new in the free
software world...

(OT) Lindows was (commercial distributions of Linux)

[Eric Dawson]

Well the discussion of the commercialization of linux certainly is topical 
(to listen and learn) for me. But certainly not cftalk topical.

It seems to me that the missing ingredient (if any) for linux these days is 
the commercialization. From the discussion on this thread it seems apparent 
that people are not interested in Linux because it is free, but because it 
is capable, and they are willing to pay an amount to receive a "package" and 
ongoing support for particular build streams, and value added build 
streams/support.

I hope redistribution becomes a licensing non-issue, where Linux 
distributors offer value with oem and packaged distributions for retail. And 
of course ongoing value added support services.

I find Lindows interesting because it is a blatant effort to commercialize 
Linux. And I certainly think there is room right now to build and support 
niche installation distributions too numerous to mention.
http://www.lindows.com/lindows_products_license.php

FYI Lindows uses
http://www.debian.org
http://www.kde.org
http://www.winehq.com

I'm not sure what the original thread was any more, but I'll soak up all of 
this discussion. whereever it gets carried...

I need to find a linux dist for 6 pack of p200 I inherited (shutdown an 
office in Winnipeg for another company), to give to people looking for lean 
Internet cruisers, word processors. Interested in thought or suggestions.

Best Regards,
Eric Dawson

I need to recommend a J2EE server

[Eric Dawson]

I need to recommend a J2EE server, or rather, I need this list too!

I am inheriting the technical responsibility for a newly developed JSP 
application and am required to do the server implementation. I need a J2ee 
application server, and am interested in what choices I have, experiences 
and recommendations the cftalk list members might have.

Does CFMX include a J2ee app server? or do I need JRUN as well to run CFMX?

My default action will probably be JRUN.

I am running on RedHat v7.2 I think.

Thanks
Eric
