Re: CFBuilder Server Setup with CF Multiserver Installation

2010-08-16 Thread Laura Norris

It is not advisable to use your default cfusion instance for development.  You 
should create another instance of cf9 and use that as your development server.  
The default instance should only be used to manage your instances.  I 
personally don't know of anything preventing cfbuilder from connecting to it, 
but i wouldn't be surprised if there was something about the cfusion instance 
that prevents it.

If you make changes in your cfusion instance, then create a new instance of 
cf9, the changes you made to cfusion will automatically be copied to your new 
instance.  (datasources, mappings, etc)  So keep cfusion as clean as possible 
so you have it to deploy clean instances when you need it.

On the flip side of that, be sure you install all your hotfixes before creating 
new instances, so that the new instances you create will also have the current 
patches.  If you have to install a hotfix after instances are created, you have 
to update each instance individually as well as the cfusion instance.

I put together a presentation detailing how to install multi-server.

Hope that helps!

Client Variables database problem

2009-08-24 Thread Laura Norris

i know i've gotten this error before and found a fix for it before, but for the 
life of me i can not find how to fix it.  I'm getting the following error at 
the bottom of my pages:

500 Operation failed on the data source named "ClientVariables".
Operation failed on the data source named "ClientVariables".

this is CF7 on a windows machine.  i installed the hotfix yesterday, so i'm 
unsure if that is what started this error.

unfortunately the client variables are not really being used by the site, but i 
need to keep them active for legacy applications that need to be upgraded.

anyone remember what the quick fix is?

Thanks,
Laura

Running ColdFusion as a specific user in a Multiserver environment

2008-10-14 Thread Laura Norris
We are trying to reconfigure our CF server to run as a user instead of under 
the administrator account.  Does anyone know the steps to do this in a 
multiserver environment?  We have two instances running.

We followed the instructions in the TechNote, but it doesn't seem to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Laura

Application.cfc error

2008-08-27 Thread Laura Norris
I'm getting an odd error when I try to use Application.cfc instead of 
Application.cfm.  I get the following error:

500

ROOT CAUSE: 
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class 
coldfusion.xml.rpc.CFCServlet
at coldfusion.cfc.CFCProxy.(CFCProxy.java:71)
at coldfusion.runtime.AppEventInvoker.(AppEventInvoker.java:47)
at 
coldfusion.filter.ApplicationFilter.invoke(ApplicationFilter.java:148)
...

Any idea what could be causing it?  I get the same error no matter if there is 
code in the cfc or not.

Could I have messed up something in my jvm.config file when I was trying to get 
the debugging set up?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Laura

Multiserver Step Debugging with CF8

2008-08-26 Thread Laura Norris
I'm new to step debugging and new to Eclipse.  I'm desperate to use the step 
debugging feature to track down a problem.

My hangup is turning on the debugging in a multiserver environment.  Our site 
has two instances running.

I've found instructions to edit the jrun/bin/jvm.config file with the following 
line
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005

Unfortunately when I choose the RDS server name under debug as, I get the 
following error:

Error connecting to JVM for debugging at localhost:5005.
Could not attach to the VM at port 5005
You must specify this debugger port in the JVM settings of your application 
server, for example:
-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5005
You will also need to make sure that another debugger is not currently 
connected to the CF JVM at the same port (5005)

Root cause -> 
Connection refused: connect


So what am I doing wrong?  I'm the only one working with debugging on this 
server, so that's not the problem.

Also, I want to use this on both servers.  Do I need to set up separate ports 
for them?  Do they need separate jvm.config files?

Thanks,

Laura
