Re: CF Server Upgrade Ent or Pro?

2001-11-20 Thread JF

I'm in the same boat as you (but have 4.01 Enterprise) - one thing to note 
that I confirmed with MM sales: license-wise, an Enterprise user *cannot* 
purchase a Pro upgrade. You have to buy a new license for the full Pro 
version or upgrade Enterpise-Enterpise.

Seems like a silly policy to me...no discounts for existing customers even 
to downgrade within the same product line.

turn debugging on for me (by IP address) ... now that I've got it on, I
really don't want to turn it off. But I also don't want it to display on

any way to totally surprises debugging (even for myself) on specific pages?
Some CFML tag I can drop in or something?

Security patch warning...

2001-07-17 Thread JF

If you haven't applied Allaire's latest security patch yet, beware that it 
breaks the scheduler for those of us using CF 4.01.  Allaire's only 
response to the thread was to make sure file ownership for the patched 
files was set to IUSER_machine, but it still doesn't work even with those 
rights set (and Website  Apache users have the same problem as IIS users, 
so IUSER_ doesn't apply).

Re: testing - is list working?

2001-07-01 Thread JF

I think HoF is still having DNS problems...

My CF-Talk mail is being delivered to the wrong host so I would presume 
others are having that problem as well.  HoF isn't looking up the MX record 
to deliver the mail here, they are just delivering it to the A record for 
this domain which is a different box.

Once I noticed CF-Talk mail stacking up on that other box I started 
checking it there - however I would think if this is happening to others 
and they don't have a mail server on the box that their domain A record 
points to, they won't get any CF-Talk mail.

RE: Email Trigger?

Another way to do this would be to have your MTA (ie Sendmail) fire a Perl

No, I do not want email sent at a certain time or upon a user action.  I

want a Cold Fusion template to be executed when I send email to an email

address.  It can be an email account on the same server if that helps
(you'd think so). I know I can do it by using a scheduled task to check
for new email at specified intervals, but scheduled tasks are frequently

unreliable and either I'd have to have very short intervals of checking
or I'd have to be content with waiting (and hoping) for the scheduled
task to run.  So intstead I would like to be able to trigger a CF
template some other way, using email.  Maybe there's a CFX out there for

this purpose, or some obscure CF function that I haven't heard of using
this way?

Yep, do it on a daily basis...some tips:

-Make sure the CF service is running as a domain user with rights to the

-Use UNC mappings in the ODBC setup, or, login interactively as the CF 
service user, map a drive letter, then reference that drive

That should get you going!

I've worked on a project where the customer used SourceOffSite, and from

believe there was SOS server running on the devel box and CF Server didn't 
know anything about version control (CF Admin VSS configs were blank).  Us

it throughout the day.

Re: questions about cachedwithin

2000-08-25 Thread JF

That's not the behavior I've seen - CF is smart enough to look at the 
select criteria of a query and will reuse it based on the criteria, not the 
name.

I wrote a site that used the same query name to dynamically build forms 
from a data dictionary, and each page (with different select criteria but 
the same query name) showed as a Cached Query with debugging turned on.

...Jay

At 10:53 AM 8/25/2000, you wrote:
You would have 10 cached queries, but because CF refers to queries by name,
you can only use one of them (the last one executed.)  So you'll need to
change the name of the query for each loop:

cfloop from="1" to="10" index="i"
 cfquery name="qryName_#i#" datasource="#dsn#"
 SELECT field1
 FROM table
 WHERE field2 = '#i#'
 /cfquery
/cfloop

 To paraphrase the CFWACK:
 
 'The ColdFusion caching logic takes cfif, cfloop, and other dynamic
 structures in queries into account, ensuring that caching is safe to use
 within a dynamic environment.'
 
 OK .. Say I have
 
 cfloop from="1" to="10" index="Variables.index"
 cfquery name="qryName" datasource="#Variables.DSN#"
 cachedwithin="#CreateTimespan(1,0,0,0)#"
 SELECT field1
 FROM table
 WHERE field2 = '#Variables.index#'
 /cfquery
 /cfloop
 
 I'm assuming in this scenario I will end up with 10 different cached
queries
 ... or would all of the queries overwrite each other because they all have
 the same name?
 
 Also, does anyone know how much overhead is associated with removing the
 oldest cached query from memory and replacing it with the newest when the
 limit is reached?  I'm guessing even if it has to be done a lot, it's still
 faster than than hitting the database for 15 rows of data, every single
 time.

CF Logs error numbers

2000-07-18 Thread JF

Greetings -

Is there a definitive list somewhere that correlates error numbers logged 
by CF to what the problem really is?  I've been chasing some errors showing 
up in my various logs but can't trace it back to what caused the problem, 
or even what the problem (if any) is.

There aren't any matching entries in application.log or scheduler.log with 
the same TID or date stamp, so not sure where else to look.

Examples:

Server.log
"Error","TID=130","07/18/00","07:53:53","Error number 232 occurred while 
attempting to write the reply to the web server."
"Error","TID=130","07/18/00","07:53:53","Windows NT error number 232 occurred."

Webserver.log
"Error","TID=240","07/18/00","08:19:52","Error attempting to write location 
redirection to web server (Windows NT error number 16389 occurred)"

This is a fairly busy box with lots of scheduled tasks, and everything 
appears to be working fine (plus very low CPU and process queue numbers), 
just bugs me to see these errors stacking up.

BTW, this is CF Enterprise 4.01, NT 4.0 SP6a, IIS4, dual P-II w/256MB 
(156MB free).

Thanks in advance!

Re: CF4.5 doesn't support Win2000 file encryption?

Mike -

Just a guess here as I haven't tried EFS on a server yet, but I would think 
that since files are encrypted by and can only be read by the file owner 
(as I understand it) that the CF Server service would need to run under the 
context of the file owner - ie have the CF service login as that user.

Mike,

I wouldn't expect it to be dealt with. That's a feature of Win2K to help
protect your files in an internal, corporate environment. MS would have to
allow 3rd party vendors access to their unecryption algorithms in order to
do this. This would essentially negate any security that encryption might
offer you.

As a side note, the admins of CF-Talk list have disabled file attachment
capabilities because of a virus scare so any messages w/ attached files are
coming out screwy. Would you mind removing your atworklogo_very_small.gif
