RE: CFMX - I've never seen anything so unstable in my life

2002-10-14 Thread Dave Wilson

Just in case this was missed. I have found that upgrading the jre to Sun's
1.40 jre, goes some way to relieving the SQL 7 jdbc related problems. I've
not had any problems since upgrading. However, I've not been able to run any
load testing.

I've also found that the ODBC socket shows instability when there are
stability issues in the jdbc connection. Like someone pointed out - the odbc
socket is simply a java wrapper.

Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you on this. Have you tried
the ODBC Socket driver setup to see whether that is more stable? The
product team have a lot of information now from folks seeing some
problems with SQL Server 7 and the JDBC driver and they are looking
into the problem. However, since all the database drivers are
3rd-party, we may be somewhat limited in how fast we can resolve this
(hence the workaround of trying the ODBC Socket driver).

RE: CFMX - I've never seen anything so unstable in my life

2002-10-14 Thread Dave Watts

 Can you post a simple 1-2-3 on how to upgrade the JRE 
 to Sun's JRE? That would be helpful.

It's very easy. 

1. Download and install the JRE of choice.
2. Within the CF Administrator, enter the path to the jre directory (which
should contain two subdirectories, bin and lib).
3. Restart CF MX.

 Are there any pitfalls?

I've been running on the Sun 1.4.0_01 JVM for a while, and haven't run into
any problems that I can directly trace to the newer VM. However, last week
on this list there was a discussion of a bug that manifested itself with CF
MX using the 1.4.1 JVM - look at the Another MX boo boo thread for more
info.

As far as installing the Sun jre goes, its simply a matter of downloading
the jre from:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html

and running the self extracting installer with all default settings - Note
this was on my newly formatted and win2k server/CFMX installed development
machine.

The install notes for the win2k version can be found below:

3. Restart CF MX.

I inadvertently left out step 2 but still noticed the improvements to the
jdbc driver performance.

I presume the new jre automatically improves upon any existing jdbc drivers
installed on the machine and that the jvm mapping required in the cf
administrator is for the purpose of mapping other CF items to the upgraded
jre.

The JVM path you entered is not a valid JVM path. The JVM path must have a

Any ideas why I would be getting this message?

I'm not sure Robert,

Note I reccomended version 1.4.0.

At the risk of condescending you - You may simply be pointing to the
incorrect directory. For j2se 1.4.0 the jvm mapping should point to
C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.0_02 providing you ran a default install.

Just in case this was missed. I have found that upgrading the jre to Sun's
1.40 jre, goes some way to relieving the SQL 7 jdbc related problems. I've
not had any problems since upgrading. However, I've not been able to run any
load testing.

I've also found that the ODBC socket shows instability when there are
stability issues in the jdbc connection. Like someone pointed out - the odbc
socket is simply a java wrapper.

Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you on this. Have you tried the
ODBC Socket driver setup to see whether that is more stable? The product
team have a lot of information now from folks seeing some problems with SQL
Server 7 and the JDBC driver and they are looking into the problem. However,
since all the database drivers are 3rd-party, we may be somewhat limited in
how fast we can resolve this (hence the workaround of trying the ODBC Socket
driver).

This is pretty much the same as my setup, except I'm running SQL 7 on same
box. My JDBC connection error is slightly different though [1]. I've read
through the rest of this thread this morning and have noted a few items
which I shall go and check out now to see if they will fix things and shall
report back later with my findings.

Dave

[1] - SQLException occurred in JDBCPool while attempting to connect, please
check your username, password, URL, and other connectivity info.

The datasource is set up correctly as it was working fine for a few days and
nothing has changed. I can no longer access the CF Administrator and don't
know of any other way of editing JDBC settings on my win2k machine.

Use the coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory:

You can verify all the information about the datasources and you can 
even change it, if you don't mind the settings not being documented. It 
should also be possible to do so by editing the XML files, but that 
would require a restart after every change.

RE: CFMX - I've never seen anything so unstable in my life - Also - LONG time CF Supporter.........

2002-10-08 Thread Dave Wilson

Amalgamating two similar threads.

OK here is the sequence of events which have led me to where I am right now
with my CFMX problems.

CURRENT SITUATION:
--
Unable to browse cfm templates on virtual hosts - http 500 error thrown -
have attempted wsconfig.jar (see below)


SEQUENCE:
-
CFMX problem.

1. Removed CF4.5 ENT, including Registry keys.

2. Run the CFMX installation wizard - install verified fine.

3. Attempt to view some virtual sites - not working - 500 errors

4. Consulted cf-talk - discovered requirement to run wsconfig.jar and edit
an xml file for virtual site support despite having selected IIS during CFMX
install - I believe Macromedia should have incorporated this configuration
into the installation process.

5. Virtual sites appear to be functioning just fine now - proceed to update
code to work in CFMX.

6. Converted a few existing popchart driven charts to work using cfchart
instead.

7. Ran into a COM related problem.

8. Installed the updater as suggested by cf-talk members to resolve COM
problems

9. COM problem persists

10. attempted to run wsconfig.jar again under presumption the updates may
required redistribution to the virtual hosts.

11. No longer able to access the cfadministrator - Unable to find templates
etc.

12. Attempted to remove CFMX - Installer only runs the uninstall but won't
remove files from c:\cfusionMX folder.

13. Unable to manually remove files as one file was in use - Sorry can't
remember which.

14. Re-installed CFMX to a new folder c:\cfusion - everything was fine after
this.

15. Went home for the weekend

16. Returned on Monday to find my existing problems - 404 errors upon
cfadministrator login, JDBC related error messages and very basic code
producing errors where it was fine before (for over 2 years).

Some of the problems I'm experiencing remind me of when CF4.0 required a new
MDAC to be installed.

17. Checked server logs and no activity aparent for the weekend period of
absence.

18. Checked and re-checked all Service packs, including upgrading SQL Server
to SP4 from SP2. SP4 includes an update to the MDAC.

19. Removed and reinstalled CFMX to default directory.

20. Attempted to run wsconfig.jar - Returns message stating that IIS already
configured.

21. Attempt to view any cfm templates located anywhere on the virtual
sites - won't work!

22. The CF Administrator has become accessible again.

END SEQUENCE


Note, I've opted to use the ODBC Sockets for connecting to my MS SQL 7
datasource. This is for a number of reasons. firstly, I want to use NT
authentication on the database, which isnt supported by the JDBC driver. I
was once told in the past that SQL Server logins are stored in the system
registry and hence are easier to compromise than the NT logins being stored
in the SAM db or in Active Directory. I've also noted that several people
have been having problems with the JDBC drivers including inability to
communicate with remote SQL machines on same network etc.

Any ideas anyone?

TIA,
Dave

RE: CFMX - I've never seen anything so unstable in my life - Also - LONG time CF Supporter.........

2002-10-08 Thread Vernon Viehe

I'm reading through this thread, adding as I can...more to come.

One thing I notice here Dave is that you mention you had trouble with your 
uninstall/reinstall, particularly deleting the directory.

Tech support has been recommending that when you uninstall, you reboot afterward, then 
delete the c:\CFusionMX directory, so that you don't run into the file busy or 
locked situation. Then you can do a cleaner reinstall.

This may not clear up the entire situation for you, but it certainly could help.

I wonder if it would be adventageous to put uninstall/reinstall instructions in the 
livedocs?

Thanks Vernon,

Yes, on that particular instance of uninstall/reinstall I had neglected to
reboot. However on all other instances I did reboot (although I didnt remove
the directory on every instance).

I'm about to go to another office where we have a spare machine I can use.
Will do a complete fresh install of Win2K and everything on it and see what
happens then. This should help to discount any extraneous environment issues
with our existing Dev machine.

I may not get to respond to the discussions until tomorrow (I'm in the UK
and it's evening time).

Thanks again,

I've been trialling CFMX now for 18 days using our existing development
applications, which ran on CF4.5. I have yet to experience a single day
without (several instances of) either the CFMX services hanging or the
JDBC
drivers dropping connections and ceasing to function, or simply being
unable

RE: CFMX - I've never seen anything so unstable in my life

2002-10-07 Thread Rob Rohan

Just so you know there is a patch on the smack-romedia site that might help
(don't know the address though).

We are porting cf5 to MX and had several sloppy coding errors, as well as
some full fledged product errors. All in all, when the code is optimized for
MX - which almost no currently existing cf code is - it runs like a champ.

It is *very* obvious that the project was pushed out the door without being
tested well, or at least tested in some sort of large production
environment - probably do to the dropping stock.

Don't give up just yet as this appears to be the way cf is going, and if you
give up your site will be stuck in old technology.

 either the CFMX services hanging or the JDBC
 drivers dropping connections and ceasing to function,

We are having issues with the JDBC Drivers as well. We have several messages
into smack-romedia, and we will post when we hear.

Good luck,
Rob

Re: CFMX - I've never seen anything so unstable in my life

2002-10-07 Thread Brian Thornton

Maybe Microsoft really owns Macromedia and is dilluting the market with
unstable products in a effort to move everyone to a single Microsoft
platform...

Or maybe it is just the fact that your using a little older database in
which a small portion of testing was conducted upon.

 I've seen that socket reset error too.  Does anyone have an idea why it

 Well,
  I have had the problem of it losing a connection to SQL Server via
 JDBC, that is the only problem I have had but has prevented me from
 buying the full version for use in the company I work for. Other than
 that it works great, but I can't have these connection reset errors
 coming up every few minutes.

 Hi all,

 Is it just me, or is CFMX proving totally unstable for everyone else
 too?

 I've been trialling CFMX now for 18 days using our existing development
 applications, which ran on CF4.5. I have yet to experience a single day
 without (several instances of) either the CFMX services hanging or the
 JDBC
 drivers dropping connections and ceasing to function, or simply being
 unable
 to access any sites being served by CFMX. This is totally unacceptable
 for a
 production environment.

 Can someone please tell me these problems are rare and only I am
 experiencing them as opposed to being the general rule of thumb for CFMX
 installs.

 I'm running CFMX on Win2k Server SP3, IIS 5 and MSSQL Server 7

 TIA,
 Dave

Rob,
 If you get an answer to the JDBC Drivers please let us know, I have
been asking for like 2 months now, trying to figure out what's going on.
And have not gotten an answer, I've used the updater, Installed all the
newest sp's for SQL Server and still nothing.

Thanks,

Just so you know there is a patch on the smack-romedia site that might
help
(don't know the address though).

We are porting cf5 to MX and had several sloppy coding errors, as well
as
some full fledged product errors. All in all, when the code is optimized
for
MX - which almost no currently existing cf code is - it runs like a
champ.

It is *very* obvious that the project was pushed out the door without
being
tested well, or at least tested in some sort of large production
environment - probably do to the dropping stock.

Don't give up just yet as this appears to be the way cf is going, and if
you
give up your site will be stuck in old technology.

 either the CFMX services hanging or the JDBC

It isn't *just* you but it is certainly a minority. Unfortunately, 
mailing lists like this (and the webforums) are typically where people 
come when they have problems so things seem worse than they are - we 
don't see legions of people piping up and saying It works just fine 
for me!...

That sounds unusually unstable. Perhaps applying the Updater will 
resolve some of your problems but it sounds to me like something else 
is wrong in your environment. Hopefully folks here can help you resolve 
it.

 Can someone please tell me these problems are rare and only I am
 experiencing them as opposed to being the general rule of thumb for 
 CFMX
 installs.

We have CFMX running on Solaris backed by Oracle for some applications 
in production (ColdFusion Examples app, various Flash / Flash Remoting 
/ CFMX examples, PetMarket) and these have been running just fine for 
months without needing any attention (except when we upgraded to Apache 
2.x and broke some connector mappings - but that was our bad!).

We have been running CFMX internally for many, many months and have 
experienced very few stability problems (we had a badly-behaved Java 
tag library that occasionally hung JRun but not much apart from that).

Glad to hear it (that it runs like a champ)! It's always good to hear

Hmm, that's a very unfair criticism. No products are error-free and 
CFMX was *extensively* tested for many months. The QA team accrued a 
vast pool of ColdFusion source code to test against and my team was 
developing heavy applications in CFMX and working with the product team 
on resolving issues. CFMX was probably tested more than any previous 
version of CF. However, you must bear in mind that CFMX is a complete 
rewrite on a new platform - that means there are bound to be *some* 
issues that will crop up. Some of these are a natural fall-out of the 
transition from C++ to Java and the use of different libraries (for

Why not ask Microsoft? Macromedia has made sure that CF MX can use JDBC, 
so now it is up to the database vendors to provide working JDBC drivers. 
Just like with previous versions CF could use ODBC and it was up to the 
database vendor to provide a decent ODBC driver.

Check the build number under Version Information in the admin. Anything less
than 6,0,0,52311 then it's not installed.

 Has the Updater helped? Several database issues were addressed in that,
 I believe. Please let either Vern or myself know if there are specific
 issues we can follow up on for you!

Sorry for the interruption.  I don't wish to take away from this thread but
how do you tell if the CFUpdater has already been installed or not?  I have
a client who doesn't remember if he installed the updater or not.

One of my team said they saw this behavior when they were working with  
a PC (app server) that was not part of the same domain as the database  
server. Are both your web/app server and db server registered into the  
same Windows networking domain?

RE: CFMX - I've never seen anything so unstable in my life

2002-10-07 Thread Benjamin S. Rogers

Nothing changed on the SQL Server, correct? No one checked the Boost
SQL Server priority on Windows NT checkbox or changed any SMP settings?
Is ColdFusion the only thing that talks to SQL? Don't rule out
coincidence.

RE: CFMX - I've never seen anything so unstable in my life

2002-10-07 Thread Ben Densmore

Yes, they are on the same domain. I guess one thing that could possibly
because it as I am thinking about it now is that the Database server is
behind a firewall, I am just using a test server now, not a live server,
which is not on a firewall. But our server that we use for production is
not on a firewall either(which is running CF 4.5) and we don't have this
problem.

Thanks,
Ben
