Error : Unable to update the ColdFusion MX ODBC Server.
I can't seem to add any ODBC Socket datasources to MX 6.1 .. Unable to update the ColdFusion MX ODBC Server.

Using missing templates as a mod_rewrite
Apache has an ability to do something called a mod_rewrite, which allows you to reformat URLs on the fly to help with SEO or make the URL friendlier.Regretfully, IIS doesn't have this without purchasing 3rd party utility. I was able to use Cold Fusion's missing template to simulate a mod_rewrite. An example of this : A page called using out content management system : http://69.5.65.241/page.cfm?company The same page called using Cold fusion's missing template : http://69.5.65.241/company.cfm Company.cfm does not exist in the directory, so when the cfm we've assigned as the missing template gets called it pulls the script_name /company.cfm, does a look up in the CMS and spits out the page.The process seems to work ok, but I'm worried about the additional overhead and other problems that may strike later. Had anyone tried something similar or have a better solution? [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Upgrading from evaluation version
We just finished migrating 30 sites from one cold fusion box to another, but found out at the end of migrations that the new box has an 'evaluation' version of cold fusion mx.I guess whoever installed it didn't use the correct key, as the CD itself wasn't an evaluation version.Is there any place to enter the correct key, or are we SOL and have to remove and reinstall cf mx?

OT : COMDEX Opportunity
We've recently been given the opportunity to send a representative to COMDEX to act as an expert at the innovation center.Everything is covered except for our travel, food and hotel expenses.It seems like a great deal, however it sounds like a couple other companies passed on the offer before it made it to us -- which worries me.Does anyone have any experience with presenting or attending COMDEX?I'm looking for some pitfalls, as it sounds like too good of a deal to pass up. Our responsibilities upon attending -- 1. We ask that a single representative come in Sunday the 16th to go over logistics with our team. 2. Your company will be responsible for manning a kiosk, and having another employee for presentations 3. Your company will be handling 2 presentations a day - these presentations will not overlap. a. One presentation will be informal to a small group no more then 15 people about a general topic. b. One presentation will be formal to a large group up to 40 via power point about a business case/success story Thanks in advance! --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Re: Legal?
Don't do anything until you are contacted by his lawyer, at which point you can decide whether it's worth it.He doesn't want to accrue lawyer fees as more than likely it'll cost him more to pursue you than it would to work out a deal.Check over your old emails and make sure you wrote nothing that could be misconstrued as ownership on his side. If it's only a verbal agreement then you are looking good .. just be sure not to write or tell him anything you'll be sorry about later.

Re: Legal?
Owning the domain is not the same as owning the site or code behind the site.We've had few occassions where a client tried to stiff us and while he could change domains, we still could hold his code hostage.Even if the code was partially or mostly paid for, the developer or company behind the code could still retain it. - Original Message - From: Ben Densmore To: CF-Talk Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2003 2:02 PM Subject: RE: Legal?

Now, there is no written contract saying that I would do it for him free-of-charge, so I guess he has me there. But at the same time, since there is no contract saying I would do it free-of-charge, since he hasn't paid me, he is not entitled to the site. I told him if he wanted to pay me for the work, I would give it to him, but he keeps threatening me of legal action. Am I wrong here or is he really entitled to the site?

Re: VB version of cfhttp
You could use Winsock, however if you want an object that automatically handles virtually all of the lower level functions you may want to use the inet control (Microsoft Internet Transfer Control - msinet.ocx). It takes but one line to make an http request. There are many ways you might do this, depending on the version of VB and your willingness to use third-party components. You can do it directly in older versions of VB using Winsock calls, if I recall correctly. If that's unappealing, you might use a control like Mabry's HTTP/X COM object. In VB.NET, you can use System.Net.WebClient, I think, or maybe it's System.Net.WebRequest.

Gzipping cold fusion pages on IIS 5.0

Re: Gzipping cold fusion pages on IIS 5.0
Certain browsers (ie 5+) can automatically ungzip documents retreived from a server and display them as they would an HTML document or image. By gzipping documents before they served you can save substantial bandwidth. I run a rather text heavy site 1.8 m/sec that's chewing up a t1+. I'm pretty sure I can cut the bandwidth in half with a good gzip solution. - Original Message - From: Bryan F.

Re: Gzipping cold fusion pages on IIS 5.0
I may need to rework some pages to get under 50% as most are heavily dynamic and receieve over 13 hits/sec. I'd hate to run the gzip that often and considering I can't cache the gzip output on those particular pages, I don't think it's feasible. The rest of the site should work very well with gzip though. Thanks for the links! Scott: if you decide to you'll save a lot more than 50%. I just tested that 109k (html) sitemap and it gets gzipped to 12k (104979 to 12279). I set cf_GZipPage to 9 on that one; the max. You can easily test this by commenting out the gzip file delete line in the tag and then just viewing the file in a zip program. --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
