Re: CF Server Upgrade Ent or Pro?
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.

Security patch warning...
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?
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.

Gena - [Template examples deleted] Um, I/O errors? If you correctly reference the path/file in your templates, you're *much* better off I/O wise not storing a huge BLOB in a database (where it doesn't belong) - if you get I/O errors you're doing something wrong. Plus, as you get more traffic you can more easily move your images/movies to another server/platform (to another site even) without the need for SQL and it's overhead. ...Jay -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Re: FW: CFStudio 4.5 Memory Hog
Yep, CFStudio is a resource-hog with lotsa nifty features, but it's much better (and stable) under Win2K or NT. With a machine like you have there (800Mhz/512MB RAM), you'll be *way* better off with an OS other than Win9x or ME.

Re: questions about "cachedwithin"
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.)

Re: ColdFusion Server-side Source Control
I've worked on a project where the customer used SourceOffSite, and from the remote developer side using CFStudio it worked quite well. I don't know the exact details as to how they had the server setup, but I 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 remote developers simply ran SOS client, told it to grab the latest version, then used CFStudio to auto check-in/out the code as we worked on it throughout the day.

CF Logs & error numbers
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.
