(ot) getting rid of Cold Fusion 1.5 user guide - blast from the past!

2011-12-07 Thread Steve Johnson

i know this is somewhat off topic - but i just discovered a blast from the past 
in a box and instead of throwing it away i figured i'd throw it on eBay in case 
anyone here wants it - currently only $5 shipped...

it's kind of funny to look through the old 1.5 manual - i counted a grand total 
of 17 tags - i bet it was much easier to get certified back then! ;-)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/330654407101

it also includes the poster - i definitely remember having one of those hanging 
in my cubicle back in the day.

boy do i feel old all of a sudden. :-)

no - this one didn't even have an index - i guess it wasn't long enough to 
require one. :-)

 Very cool.  Did v1.5 have the Rubber Chicken easter egg in the book's

Data Connection Kit (FireFly) on Mac OS X

2003-06-18 Thread Steve Johnson
i was just about to fork over $300 to Macromedia for their Data 
Connection Kit so i could get Firefly when i noticed that it only 
works on Windows versions of Flash.  why in the world would this be? 
does anyone know when Macromedia will update Firefly to work with the 
Mac OS X version of Flash MX?  it's pretty lame to own Studio MX and 
not be able to use it the way Macromedia keeps telling me to.  :-)

RESOLVED: CFX_CyberCash

2002-08-01 Thread Steve Johnson

CFX_CyberCash will likely never be updated to work with CFMX since 
Verisign wants everyone to move to PayFlowPro.  since i'm not ready 
to do that (and since their PayFlowPro tag doesn't work reliably in 
CFMX yet either), i wrote my own custom tag which calls out to their 
Perl MCK using CFEXECUTE and it's working great for me so far on 
RedHat 7.3.  thanks for the advice everyone...

steve


has anyone successfully used CFX_CyberCash with CFMX Pro on Linux?  i
just got off the phone with tech support at Verisign and their basic
conclusion at this point is that it does not work and it may never
work.  we were able to get it to the point where it will actually
charge a credit card and log all the information into a debug file,
but it never returns any results back to the calling .cfm page so you
can let the user know if it was successful or not.  (and users tend
to want to know that.  ;-) )

if nobody has this working, then are there any alternatives?  i'd
prefer not to migrate to PayFlowPro or another service at this point,
especially since they mentioned their Java PFP tag doesn't work on
CFMX either.

2002-08-01 Thread Steve Johnson

Are you going to publish this tag.

i'm not planning on it but i could send you a tarball and you could 
see if you want to mess with getting it to work right.  it's not 
nearly as easy as just installing a CFX tag though...  let me know 
privately if you want it.

disclaimer - i can't guarantee any help if it doesn't work - it just 
depends on my day job, plus i have no idea how it will handle under 
load.

Perl is included with Linux, correct?

it's always been on every Linux box i've ever seen.

Re: CFX_CyberCash

2002-07-30 Thread Steve Johnson

You might look at http://www.cfxoncrcybercash.com/ we've used the 
tag on Solaris (the tag works on NT and Linux too). 

I haven't tried it on CFMX yet.

i could barely navigate their site, plus it looks like it's been 
abandoned.  if you do try it on CFMX i'd love to hear if it works, 
but for $299 i think i'd rather write my own if at all possible.

Re: CFX_CyberCash

2002-07-30 Thread Steve Johnson

At last check, CFX_CyberCash is going by the wayside. When VeriSign acquired
CyberCash back in the day, they made a concerted effort to get people to
convert to their PayFlow and PayFlow Link services. Part of this concerted
effort was to not make any updates to the CyberCash tag to smoothly
integrate into their new systems.

well they're doing a fabulous job of letting it die.  :-)

the problem is that apparently even their PayFlowPro stuff doesn't 
work right on CFMX.  it sounds like they're actively working on that 
problem though and that it works for some people...

I think the servers that the CFX tag uses no longer exist. I could be wrong
on that -- I just remember somebody posting something to this effect a while
back.

it must have been something else - until two days ago i was using 
CFX_CyberCash just fine on a Windows 2000 box running CF 4.0.1.

RE: CFX_CyberCash

2002-07-29 Thread Steve Johnson

thanks for the info, but that's not exactly what i had in mind.

in case i was unclear - i'm looking for a server side replacement for 
CFX_CyberCash that will still work with Verisign's CyberCash service. 
plus it has to run on Linux and CFMX Pro.  there may not be such a 
beast, but i wanted to check here before i write my own...

Verity not working on CFMX Linux

2002-07-29 Thread Steve Johnson

surely MACR wouldn't have shipped a product with such a huge bug, so 
hopefully someone can see what i'm doing wrong:

platform: Redhat Linux 7.1, CFMX Pro

1) i went into the CF administrator and created an English Verity 
collection called foo with the default path of 
/usr/local/coldfusionmx/verity/collections.

2) i clicked on foo in the list of Verity collections and indexed 
it with these options:
File Extensions: .html, .htm, .cfm
Directory Path: /var/www/html
i checked the box next to Recursively Index Sub Directories
Return URL: http://www.myserver.com

after i hit submit i get back this error:

---
There was an error indexing this collection.
An error occurred while performing an operation in the Search Engine 
native library.
coldfusion.tagext.lang.CFIndexTagException: Error while setting the 
current directory. can not update path /var/www/html
---

any ideas?  and why would it need to update path in my web root? 
shouldn't it just be viewing those files and writing the indices in 
/usr/local/coldfusionmx/verity/collections/foo?

another part of the issue is that even if i give in and don't check 
the recursive checkbox it will say that it indexed it when in fact 
it didn't.  when i run this command it comes up with 0 hits even 
though /var/www/html/index.html clearly says Test in it:


cfsearch
 name=fooSearch
 collection=foo
 type=simple
 criteria=Test
cfoutput#fooSearch.recordcount#.../cfoutput


so not only does it not seem to work on recursive directories, but i 
can't even implement a hack workaround by indexing each subdirectory 
one at a time.  like i said, surely i'm just doing something stupid...

The Fusion Authority Weekly News Alert has been release at
http://www.fusionauthority.com/alert

News:
  ColdFusion 4.5.1 Released

maybe it's just too early for me, but where exactly can i download 
this?  it doesn't seem to be publicly available on allaire.com...

does this also mean that they've finally released a stable Solaris version?
