Re: Followup: Page cannot be displayed .. what specifically does this mean?
Actually that's not strictly true Doug. It would be more secure to run ColdFusion under a specific user that only has the rights it requires to run and access various resources on the server than to run in the default installation under SYSTEM. This is very easy with CF on a *nix box. You simply set up a user in the OS, then when you install CF you get prompted for the user that you wish CF to run as. The installer then configures all the services, directories, files etc. to allow it to run correctly under that user. With a windows install, its a very different proposition... You have to set up a user with the appropriate access rights for services, folder, files and registry entries. Its an absolute nightmare proposition, but will make CF much more secure if done correctly. It will also help if you want to do anything like access network resources via CF, as you will be able to allow the specific CF user to access those resources, which you can't do with the SYSTEM user. There is an article on defusion for this : http://www.defusion.com/articles/index.cfm?ArticleID=89 Thing is this is from 1999 and is for CF3/4(?). Has anyone done any new articles on this for CF5 and CFMX??

RE: Followup: Page cannot be displayed .. what specifically does this mean?
No security problems, That is the way it is supposed to be. CF uses a SYSTEM account and must have full control permissions set wherever it is run. This is not clear in the documentation. While that may be the default configuration, I don't think it's the way it's supposed to be. Ideally, you'd configure filesystem permissions, and user account and their rights, quite a bit more restrictively. The SYSTEM security context is nearly all-powerful on Windows, and if you're running CF within that context, every line of CF code that you write runs as a part of the trusted computing base - the operating system itself! This is, from a perspective concerned about security, a very, very bad thing. With CF 5 and earlier versions, it was a bit difficult to configure the CF server to run as a specific, less-privileged user, but it was possible. Martin Herbener wrote a very good article on this for CF 4.x, for Defusion, which Stephen Moretti pointed out; the steps in that article also worked for me with CF 5, although I only tested the core steps, not the ones that apply to ClusterCATS and other optional components. With CFMX, though, this is actually a lot easier, since you don't have to worry about registry permissions. Simply create a regular user account, ensure that the user account can log on locally and can run as a service, and give this user account appropriate rights on \CFusionMX and your web root. Those rights can be considerably less than full control, too - on \CFusionMX, you can use read-execute for binaries, RWXD on files changed by CF; on the web root, the user only needs read permissions on the .cfm files themselves. If you're using IIS, the user account(s) used by IIS for logons will need execute rights on the .cfm files, and read-execute on the ISAPI DLL used to interface CFMX with IIS (by default, \CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun.dll, assuming that IIS is the first web server configured to work with CFMX).

RE: Page cannot be displayed .. what specifically does this mean?
Yes, it's WinNT4 sp6, and CF5 The server has been in and stable for ages - at least 8 months, and just in the last 2 weeks given me problems like this. I've looked and looked for what changed and I'm damned if I can see what it is. We have VNC to log into the console. We only have to go to the physical server to change a backup tape or put a CD in to install something. The CF CD isn't in the slot so to install CF again I'll have to go over there.

Followup: Page cannot be displayed .. what specifically does this mean?
Alert listers (or those with altogether too much time on their hands) will no doubt recall that over the last couple of weeks I've had a problem with permissions, pages showing page not able to be displayed messages, and a custom tag (CFX_CSVtoQuery) not working properly. There has been some traffic back and forth on this list about it and I've finally got it solved. Thought you might like to know what had happened. Thanks to some 'beyond-the-call-of-duty' help from Dave Watts, we finally isolated the cause to permissions in one or more folders underneath C:\CFUSION.This meant that the ColdFusion server had the rights to do most of what we wanted it to do (which was why it worked away happily for a couple of weeks), but when a certain function was called, the ColdFusion server didn't have sufficient rights to execute that dll or whatever it was and crashed. The cure was to set the permissions correctly. I did this by going to explorer on the server console, and setting all the folders and files under C:\FUSION to have the same rights. Does anyone see any security problems with doing this? Is there anything that resides under C:\FUSION (it's a default installation) that shouldn't have the same rights as everything else? I'm most grateful to Dave Watts and I reckon everyone ought to get their wallets out, tip the contents into an envelope and mail it to Dave for his untiring help and endless good sense for us all.

RE: Followup: Page cannot be displayed .. what specifically does this mean?
Thanks Doug. Actually this server has operated flawlessly for months, and only in the last couple of weeks has had problems.I have no idea how the permissions got changed, although I do realise that only two people have access to the server console, only one person does so regularly, and that person .. well .. shall I say is not fully convinced that ColdFusion is a real language. This person would not have been disappointed at problems with ColdFusion. When I started doing work for this client 3 years ago, he was convinced that the way to go was to use Delphi and strangely enough he was well qualified to do all that work. Ever since he has always referred to it as Mike Kear's Cold Fusion and has been quick to point out any errors in anything I've done. But I wouldn't like to cast aspersions at anyone.
