RE: Setting Linux user
I am new to running CF on a Linux box - and I know virtually nothing about Linux. I have all of my pages working correctly, but in one instance I am calling on the CFFILE command to move a CSV file from one directory to another. The file is getting copied to the new location, but not deleted from the current location. Apparently the page is running as a user apache and that user doesn't have delete access in that folder. This page is going to be run as a scheduled task. Is there any way that the user name can be set for the page? Short of changing the security in Linux (which apparently is problematic in this case) is there anything I can do here? You can't run specific CF scripts as different users. The CF server runs as a specific user, and that's who'll run the script. Ideally, your best bet would be to simply change the permissions on the folders in question, to allow the user to delete files within those folders. That shouldn't be very difficult, but for security purposes you may need to use different folders that don't contain anything other than the files you're manipulating, and you may want to ensure that those folders aren't available to the web server itself, so that their contents can't be executed through the web server. Failing that, you could conceivably write a shell script to do what you need, and call that through CFEXECUTE. That's an ugly approach in my opinion, though.

Re: Setting Linux user
Hello K, Unfortunately this is one of the problems with CF: There's no command-line parser for it so you cannot execute it as a different user easily. While I probably can't give the best advice without knowing the details of your situation, you could potentially create a cron job (the Linux equivalent of a scheduled task) that would periodically delete files in a directory that are older then a specific time period. Would a solution like that work for your purposes?

RE: Setting Linux user
Sorry about that hehehe...the command is svn commit... This is mostly done via a gui plugin called TortioseSVN...but I am sure that is getting executed. I don't think that is necessary as svn does have a post commit section where scripts can be placed. Basically what I need is something that can get executed that can trigger the update. I know it can be done in python, as one of my past contracts, that is how they did it. Have you ever tried Cluster Cats? There are also hardware balancers...which in my opinion are better than software balancers, that work just fine, regardless of OS or web server. I do have to admit, I do like how Apache is set up for version 2...I haven't played with 2.2.3 yet. It is definitely better than what it used to be 8 years ago. IIS is still easier to set up. If I would have went with a windows box...I would have been done in less that a day.

Re: Setting Linux user
We run Radware WSD's along with CT100 SSL/Compression Accelerators. Love them :) When you do it though you need to stop clustercats Eric On 1/17/07, Eric Roberts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sorry about that hehehe...the command is svn commit... This is mostly done via a gui plugin called TortioseSVN...but I am sure that is getting executed. I don't think that is necessary as svn does have a post commit section where scripts can be placed. Basically what I need is something that can get executed that can trigger the update. I know it can be done in python, as one of my past contracts, that is how they did it. Have you ever tried Cluster Cats? There are also hardware balancers...which in my opinion are better than software balancers, that work just fine, regardless of OS or web server. I do have to admit, I do like how Apache is set up for version 2...I haven't played with 2.2.3 yet. It is definitely better than what it used to be 8 years ago. IIS is still easier to set up. If I would have went with a windows box...I would have been done in less that a day.

Where I work I am surrounded by Windows stuff all of the linux servers we brought in were due to me. I hope to be rid of all Outside serving IIS boxes by year end. It is alot easier for me to do Hardware load balancing with Apache and mod_proxy and not having the overhead of a GUI.

Thanks for the help! It's been almost a decade since I have messed with Linux and that was just administering it...never set one up from scratch before. It took me 4 weeks and several reinstalls to get it right, hence my mantra hehehe Eric -Original Message- From: Eric Haskins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 17 January 2007 15:50 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Setting Linux user Eric, I haven't used Subversion in awhile we currently use Serena VM with Eclipse Rich Integration. If you send the commands you do to update and how they comit I could write you script. I hate windows :) but need it to function Eric Haskins Web Systems Developer On 1/17/07, Eric Roberts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Never assume Dave ;-) I have an off topic question. How does one write a script to have subversion automatically update the live directory when someone commits? I found a few scripts, but they don't make sense to me...I hate Linux (my personal mantra hehhe). This is the only part I don't have set up on our dev box. Right now I can just ssh in and do the update, but I would much rather automate the process. Eric -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 17 January 2007 12:03 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Setting Linux user Failing that, you could conceivably write a shell script to do what you need, and call that through CFEXECUTE. Anything you call using cfexecute will run as the same user CF runs under, i.e. the user apache so that won't help. What you need to do is have the admin write a shell script for you and give the user apache sudo privileges on that script (preverably with the NOPASSWD flag set).
