subject:"Virtual Directories"


So, we have a web site where we use virtual directories to point back to
the root folder, allowing us to have multiple web sites and one code base.

This morning, I removed IIS6 Mgmt Compatability (because CF 9.0.1 won't let
me reconfig any web server connectors)... and I had to also install the
ASP.NET feature before it would let me do it...

Got everything working, reconfigured stuff, and it's all good, right?

Only now, our virtual subdirectories are generating  The page cannot be
displayed because an internal server error has occurred. 

And I can't find any logs that tell me WHY.

Nothing in coldfusion's Exception or Application log, nothing in the
C:\Jrun4\logs\ folder that would indicate a problem, nothing helpful in the
wsconfig/X/logs folder either...

Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Oops! Virtual Directories Server Errors


is this actually a CF issue or does it affect any page ?
if you have removed IIS6 compatibility tools then you also need to
re-create all the connectors on IIS7 native mode. you can do this with the
web config tool.

So

#! - it affects ALL types of files (htm, gif, cfm, etc)

#2 - I did recreate all the connectors

#3 - regular sites working, those that use their own domain name... virtual 
directory sites are not.

#4 - deleted and recreated a virtual directory for one of my sites using the 
IIS interface did not help.

#5 - virtual directories that point to non-web-root folders seem to be fine.

 I'm not sure what you mean...

In IIS, virtual directories can be configured as separate IIS
applications, with their own application pool, or they can run within
the context of the parent application. When you look at the list of
directories, each type has a different icon.

Re: Oops! Virtual Directories Server Errors


is it just a plain vDir, or did you convert it to an application. the form
looks like a yellow folder, the latter will have a little world icon on the
folder.
If its an application  then it also has an application pool, which can be
the cause of issues.

Ah, no they are just plain virtual directories .. 15,000 of them.

I'm f'ing stumped here.

Sure would be nice if IIS would tell me what the internal server error was.

Anyone know any good IIS experts who can provide emergency help?

Re: Oops! Virtual Directories Server Errors


Another curious issue.

IIS is no longer showing any CF error messages ...

For example, if I create a file test.cfm and in it I only put cfif .. this 
would normally generate a coldfusion error page ... But now I just get that 
same 
The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.

I also get the same message if I remove the cferror from my application.cfm.. 
no CF error output at all.

With or without robust error reporting, the server used to at least report a 
coldfusion error for this kind of thing.

Though at least this error gets logged to the application log.

Whatever is happening with the virtual directories is not (because it's not a 
CF error).  But IIS is hiding the error details.

Can you uninstall the CF connectors and see whether static pages then work?

You shouldn't have to remove IIS 6 Management Compatibility - it's
just not required any more for CF 9.0.1 connectors. There are still
cases where you might need IIS 6 Management Compatibility that have
nothing to do with CF - managing IIS SMTP comes to mind.

I've seen a similar issue, try this:

Look for web.config in the affected directories.

Delet all exept the one in root.

(the error comes from settings in the web.config - but instead of fixing that i

CF9 no longer recognizes virtual directories on IIS after install of Apache

2012-05-01 Thread Curt Carpenter


Hi -

I have an application that has been working fine for over a year and now 
anything that references Virtual Directories no longer functions.  Here are the 
details:

Coldfusion is running on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise.
Using IIS6 for the web server on the same box.
I have several virtual directories setup that reference files on another server 
on the same network.

What I did to break things... I installed Apache (the latest release) along 
with PHP - but I set Apache up to listen on a different port (8080). Suddently 
any part of my code that tries to reference a file that is found through a 
virtual directory generates the following error:

An error occurred when performing a file operation exists on file 
/serverpdfs/130kPDFs/137485.pdf.
The cause of this exception was: org.apache.commons.vfs.FileSystemException: 
Could not determine the type of file 
http://www.mybp-graphics.com/serverpdfs/130kPDFs/137485.pdf;..

Here's the actual code that generated that error:

cfset filename = http://www.mybp-graphics.com/serverpdfs/130kPDFs\137485.pdf;

 
 then within a table...
 cfif FileExists(#filename#)
tdYes File/td
cfelse
tdNo file/td
/cfif

The serverpdfs is the virtual directory inside the website 
mybp-graphics.com. If I look in IIS the directory is there, I can see all the 
files in it - it seems to be working fine.

I first experienced the problem when we tried to open a PDF for viewing by 
using CFCONTENT - the same type error occurs. 

What is especially suspicious is that the exception was was 
org.apache.commons.cfs.FileSystemException - This error still persists even 
though I have done the following:

1.  Completely de-installed Apache and hid the PHP directory.
2.  Re-installed ColdFusion from scratch.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated - this error is affecting multiple 
modules of a website that is used constantly by both our customers and our 
internal employees.

Thanks

Curt

did you make any other changes in order to get Apache and IIS working

e.g.

I can't imagine why that would cause vDir issues, but worth undoing if you

Re: CF9 no longer recognizes virtual directories on IIS after install of Apache

2012-05-01 Thread Russ Michaels


I have had Apave and IIs and CF all running together without issue,so can;t
think of any other cause. If you have removed both CF and apache then that
only leaves IIS itself as the cause. So you next step would be to remove
and reinstall that.
You can backup the IIS metabase so that you do not lose all your sites and
then restore the metabase after you reinstall IIS, this is a lot easier
with IIS7.

Have you verified that the URL in question still works? Have you tried
fetching that URL using a browser on the same machine as the web
server?

 What is especially suspicious is that the exception was was 
 org.apache.commons.cfs.FileSystemException - This
 error still persists even though I have done the following:

 1.  Completely de-installed Apache and hid the PHP directory.
 2.  Re-installed ColdFusion from scratch.

Well, if there's a problem with name resolution or IIS virtual
directories on the machine in question, those changes won't make a
difference.

As for the suspicious exception - there's nothing suspicious about
it at all. CF includes quite a bit of code from Apache Java projects.
That has nothing to do with the Apache web server except that it's
also managed by the nonprofit Apache foundation.

must be the problem. I can go into IIS and browse to the virtual directories 
and see all of the files in them but IIS does not seem to want to serve them 
up. I can access the other server directly by setting the file name through the 
other server name and everything works fine.

cfset filename = \\bpsbs/pdfarchive/  #(Int(URL.fn/1)*10)#  kPDFs\ 
 #URL.fn#  .pdf

The problem with changing everything over to this method is that on some pages 
I also use the embed tag to directly embed the PDF in the page so it shows 
along with some other text and form buttons, etc. When I use the embed tag 
with the file name built using a direct reference to the server it does not 
display.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I am afraid my next option is going 
to be to re-install the server from a backup from last week. The data is on 
another drive so I won't lose anything except a lot of down time and hours 
spent doing it.

Thanks

Curt


  I have an application that has been working fine for over a year and 
 now anything that references Virtual Directories
  no longer functions.  Here are the details:
 
  Coldfusion is running on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise.
  Using IIS6 for the web server on the same box.
  I have several virtual directories setup that reference files on 
 another server on the same network.
 
  What I did to break things... I installed Apache (the latest 
 release) along with PHP - but I set Apache up to listen on a
  different port (8080). Suddently any part of my code that tries to 
 reference a file that is found through a virtual directory
  generates the following error:
 
  An error occurred when performing a file operation exists on file 
 /serverpdfs/130kPDFs/137485.pdf.
  The cause of this exception was: org.apache.commons.vfs.
 FileSystemException: Could not determine the type of file http://www.
 mybp-graphics.com/serverpdfs/130kPDFs/137485.pdf..
 
  Here's the actual code that generated that error:
 
  cfset filename = http://www.mybp-graphics.
 com/serverpdfs/130kPDFs\137485.pdf
 
      then within a table...
      cfif FileExists(#filename#)
     tdYes File/td
     cfelse
     tdNo file/td
     /cfif
 
  The serverpdfs is the virtual directory inside the website 
 mybp-graphics.com. If I look in IIS the directory is there, I can
  see all the files in it - it seems to be working fine.
 
 Have you verified that the URL in question still works? Have you 
 tried
 fetching that URL using a browser on the same machine as the web
 server?
 
  What is especially suspicious is that the exception was was org.
 apache.commons.cfs.FileSystemException - This
  error still persists even though I have done the following:
 
  1.  Completely de-installed Apache and hid the PHP directory.
  2.  Re-installed ColdFusion from scratch.
 
 Well, if there's a problem with name resolution or IIS virtual
 directories on the machine in question, those changes won't make a
 difference.
 
 As for the suspicious exception - there's nothing suspicious about
 it at all. CF includes quite a bit of code from Apache Java projects.
 That has nothing to do with the Apache web server except that it's
 also managed by the nonprofit Apache foundation.

Dave,

Have you checked the permissions on the folder the Virtual Directory points to? 
 Is directory security in IIS on the Virtual Directory set to Enable anonymous 
access with an account that has Windows permissions on that remote folder, or 
does each user that connects to your site use NT permissions that grant them 
access to that remote folder?

Do you have multiple virtual servers on the same machine? If so, maybe
traffic is going to the wrong one.

also check that the user CF is running under still has access to the
network paths.
check the coldfusion service and see what user it runs as.
now login as as that user and make sure he can access the network paths you
point to in the vdirs.

If the error says

then perhaps Apache is missing that setting telling it how to handle pdf's?

Re: CF9 no longer recognizes virtual directories on IIS after install of Apache

2012-05-01 Thread Andrew Scott


If you have removed apache you should not see this error message

*An error occurred when performing a file operation exists on file
/serverpdfs/130kPDFs/137485.pdf.
The cause of this exception was: org.apache.commons.vfs.FileSystemException:
Could not determine the type of file 
http://www.mybp-graphics.com/serverpdfs/130kPDFs/137485.pdf;.. *

Which means you must now be getting a different error now. I would be
looking at the mime types and see if they are all correctly set up.
Normally when one sees the message can't determine file type is a mime
issue.

But it also might be something to do with PHP, the exception that is being
thrown is to do with the VFS or Virtual File System so if you say you
removed Apache then I am betting that PHP is screwed up.

But as you said you tried with cfcontent I am guessing it might be a mime
issue or even a permission issue.

Actually, no. Apache Commons VFS is included in CF 9.x. It has nothing
to do with Apache HTTPD. It's a Java library, and CF uses it to talk
to ... filesystems (big surprise there, I guess!)

With a rewrite rule, if rewriting from /somesite/foo.cfm to /foo.cfm,
'somesite' will *not* appear in your cgi.script_name variable (you will see
'/foo.cfm'). You can however pass the value to the request as a url
parameter, e.g.

/somesite/foo.cfm - /foo.cfm?site=somesite (or some other scheme that you
may come up with)

 Each site uses the same code base, and tt already handles it because I
 currently use 12,000 virtual directories that point back to the code base
 in
 the web root.  The code itself gets the site information from the name it
 finds in the cgi SCRIPT_NAME variable.

 Here's an example:  www.classcreator.com/Saline-MI-1990

 I was thinking about using ISAPI Rewrite, as suggested by someone else, but
 I'm afraid that would actually cause the site name Saline-MI-1990 to be
 invisible to Coldfusion (would it still be part of the cgi.script_name?)

Virtual Directories and IIS

2010-12-06 Thread Rick Root


I'm wondering if there's a better way to do what we're doing.

Currently, we have about 12,000 web sites, each of which uses a virtual
directory that refers to the web root

www.mydomain.com/mywebsite1
www.mydomain.com/mywebsite2
etc

Some of these sites end up buying domains and they just end up going to
www.mywebsite1.com .. but the virtual directory still works.

So yeah, we've got 12,000 virtual directories (back in the old days, we
actually had 2,000 physical subdirectories with 2,000 identical copies of
the files, so the virtual directory method was a vast improvement)

that being said, I'm having problems getting my dot net calls to work (a
topic for another thread) but this got me thinking.. is there a better way?

Could I somehow have a catch-all virtual directory that would prevent me
from having to create unique virtual directories for every site?

like, in the case www.mydomain.com/mywebsite1/foo.cfm, if there ws no
/mywebsite1/ physical directory, then look for foo.cfm in the web root..
but do not REDIRECT (because we rely on /mywebsite1/ being in the URL so
we know which site they're accessing)

RE: Virtual Directories and IIS

2010-12-06 Thread Brian Polackoff


Not sure if this helps, but a simple custom 404.cfm would work.  Update the
Custom Errors in IIS, create a custom 404.cfm page that looks in a DB for
the missing/unfounded URL. For instance you could place in the DB MyWebSite1
will map to www.mydomain.com/mywebsite1, then do a cfLocation in the 404.cfm
file to the real URL.

We do this with a lot of success. Makes it easy to bring on new clients
without having to create those virtual directories.

Again, this only works if you have access to IIS/Web Server custom errors.

If you need more info, just ask!

Simple rewrite rule using a rewrite ISAPI filter. Either the free Ionic one
or paid for Helicon:

http://www.isapirewrite.com/
http://www.isapirewrite.com/http://iirf.codeplex.com/

http://iirf.codeplex.com/Your rewrite rule might look something like
(there will surely be some better regex for your use cases):

RewriteRule /(+*?)/(.*)$ /index.cfm?site=$1params=$2 [I,L]

or perhaps:

RewriteRule ^/(+*?)/(.*)$ /$2/?site=$1 [I,L]

Well if each site is different and have its own files then you need a unique
URL and a folder in which to store the files, so I can't see how you can
avoid either a real or a virtual directory.
However if every site uses the same codebase, then you could use some url
rewriting to allow your code to handle the different sites.

e.g.

www.domain1.com rewrite to www.primarydomain.com/?siteid=site1
www.doamin2.com rewrites to www.primarydomain.com?siteid=site2

URL rewriting is built right into IIS7, otherwise you can use ISAPI_REWRITE

Each site uses the same code base, and tt already handles it because I
currently use 12,000 virtual directories that point back to the code base in
the web root.  The code itself gets the site information from the name it
finds in the cgi SCRIPT_NAME variable.

Here's an example:  www.classcreator.com/Saline-MI-1990

I was thinking about using ISAPI Rewrite, as suggested by someone else, but
I'm afraid that would actually cause the site name Saline-MI-1990 to be
invisible to Coldfusion (would it still be part of the cgi.script_name?)

RE: Virtual Directories and IIS

2010-12-06 Thread Andrew Scott


I have done this and it works a treat, which also means I no longer need to
run scripts to setup IIS VDirs anymore.

I also use SES so it might be a bit different if you aren't doing this.

But I always treat the first in the list for example /myvdir/foo.cfm would
be myvdir as a virtual directory, then try to look it up against known
clients. If it doesn't match then it must be a dir, and continue.

All this info is in the url string so it is easy to work out.

Andrew Scott

 I'm wondering if there's a better way to do what we're doing.
 
 Currently, we have about 12,000 web sites, each of which uses a virtual
 directory that refers to the web root
 
 www.mydomain.com/mywebsite1
 www.mydomain.com/mywebsite2
 etc
 
 Some of these sites end up buying domains and they just end up going to
 www.mywebsite1.com .. but the virtual directory still works.
 
 So yeah, we've got 12,000 virtual directories (back in the old days, we
actually
 had 2,000 physical subdirectories with 2,000 identical copies of the
files, so
 the virtual directory method was a vast improvement)
 
 that being said, I'm having problems getting my dot net calls to work (a
topic
 for another thread) but this got me thinking.. is there a better way?
 
 Could I somehow have a catch-all virtual directory that would prevent me
 from having to create unique virtual directories for every site?
 
 like, in the case www.mydomain.com/mywebsite1/foo.cfm, if there ws no
 /mywebsite1/ physical directory, then look for foo.cfm in the web
root..
 but do not REDIRECT (because we rely on /mywebsite1/ being in the URL
 so we know which site they're accessing)

Rick,

If www.classcreator.com/Saline-MI-1990 is what you want CF to see then this
is simply what you need to rewrite the URL to.

So user requests www.saline-mi.com and gets rewritten to
www.classcreator.com/Saline-MI-1990

If the vDir matchs the domain name then it should be fairly easy rules, if
the vDir name has nothing to do with the domain name, then you will have to
create a new rule for each site.

Virtual Directories and cfinclude

2010-07-19 Thread Rick Faircloth


Recently, I've been trying to modularize all code needed

for a particular function with a directory that exists outside

the root directory of a website. 

 

I have some functionality that is common to many websites

and need to reference the files on if a site uses said functionality.

 

For instance, I have a real estate website that uses a

subdivision function.  Not all do, but this one does.

 

I decided to move the subdivision folder outside the root

of all the websites that might use it and put it under its own

directory in the webroot.

 

I can create a virtual directory in IIS easily enough to reference

files within the subdivision folder.

 

However, if I try to reference files within the main websites

structure from within the subdivision folder under the webroot

using cfinclude, I can't.  At least not using relative links, as far as

I can tell.

 

I want to keep all content, .cfm's, .cfc's, .css files etc., outside of the

main website folder structure so that if that function (subdivisions, in
this case)

is not used, then none of the files and assets need be part of

the website's directory structure and content.

 

Make any sense?

 

In the end, it amounts to wanting to have a way for referencing cfincludes,

such as menu structure file, from within the folder structure of the
external

directory subdivisions as I can reference files from within subdivisions
folder

by using a virtual directory in IIS.

 

Maybe I'm missing something very obvious.

 

Any feedback would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Rick

The virtual directory will take care of the .css and image files, but

 using ColdFusion?

Yes, maybe. By default, the web server configuration utility creates a
virtual directory in IIS 5 called /JrunScripts, and it points to the
specific wsconfig subdirectory for your web server connector (\wsconfig\1 if
it's the first web server connector you've set up).

If I recall correctly, this is used by things that invoke the JRun ISAPI
filter, rather than the ISAPI extension. I think that would include things
like Flash Remoting and CFCHART.

In IIS 6, I don't think this is needed (or created), as CF installs an ISAPI
wildcard extension instead of a filter.

Creationg virtual directories with CF and dotNet

Okay so I'm trying to use the System.DirectoryEntry assembly to create some
virtual directories in IIS and not having much luck.

Essentially I'm not getting past step 1:

cfobject
type=.net
class=DirectoryEntry

assembly=C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\System.DirectoryServices.dll
name=site

This is the error I get:

 Class DirectoryEntry not found in the specified assembly list.  The
assembly that contains the class must be provided to the assembly attribute.

Here's the documentation for the DirectoryEntry class in the .NET framework
1.1:
http://tinyurl.com/6ljdcd

It's supposed to be there!

Anyone got any ideas how to get me past line 1 of my code? =)

Sometimes you can stare at things too long!

 For my life, I cannot figure out why. On the server that DOES 
 work, we have no special CUSTOM TAG PATHS, no MAPPINGS,.and 
 it works joyfully - its only on this new server.

I'm fairly certain you're wrong about that. Any time you use a slash as the
first character within the path for CFINCLUDE or CFMODULE, the path is
always resolved via a mapping. I strongly suspect that you have at least one
mapping; the one that comes with a default install of CF, and is mapped to
wherever you specified as your web root during the install.

IIS Virtual DIrectories and Shared Scope Vars

2007-05-09 Thread Ben Shichman

Hello

I posted this about a year ago, but got it working on a server of ours - now on 
a new server, same problem, and cant figure out why.

Very simple:

We have multiple sites:

Site 1
Site 2
Site 3
Etc...

Each is in its own directory structure, has its own application.cfm, etc.

Each one has a virtual mapping in IIS to a directory called COMMON, that has 
some shared code. So within the IIS site for each site, there is a Virtual 
Directory mapping to this Common directory.

Now, in the directory for COMMON, we have coldfusion code that we want to be 
able to access the scoped variables (such as application, request, etc) of each 
individual site when called from that site.

So in the COMMON directory, there is an APPLICATION.CFM file that has one line:

cfinclude template=/application.cfm

This works flawless on one production server, but on another, we just get an 
error:


Could not find the included template /application.cfm.
Note: If you wish to use an absolute template path (e.g. 
TEMPLATE=/mypath/index.cfm) with CFINCLUDE then you must create a mapping for 
the path using the ColdFusion Administrator. Using relative paths (e.g. 
TEMPLATE=index.cfm or TEMPLATE=../index.cfm) does not require the creation 
of any special mappings. It is therefore recommended that you use relative 
paths with CFINCLUDE whenever possible.

The error occurred in D:\hostedsites\clientsites\common\Application.cfm: line 2

1 :
2 : cfinclude template=/application.cfm
3 :


For my life, I cannot figure out why. On the server that DOES work, we have no 
special CUSTOM TAG PATHS, no MAPPINGS,.and it works joyfully - its only on this 
new server.

We are using CF version 7,0,2,142559 and IIS 5.0.

Help is needed and appreciated!

Re: IIS Virtual DIrectories and Shared Scope Vars

2007-05-09 Thread Andrew Scott

hmm...

Depending on the App you might get away with a CF mapping instead, but the
issue is simple.

All it is, is a directory structure that will be included as part of the
website. So when the code is run in there it should run using the same
Application.cfm / Application.cfc that is used from the calling Application.

So what does that mean, remove the need for Application.cfm altogether from
your common VD.

I'm fairly certain you're wrong about that. Any time you use a slash as the
first character within the path for CFINCLUDE or CFMODULE, the path is
always resolved via a mapping. I strongly suspect that you have at least one
mapping; the one that comes with a default install of CF, and is mapped to
wherever you specified as your web root during the install.

Mappings? Virtual Directories?

2007-04-28 Thread Jenny Gavin-Wear

Before I go charging off in the wrong direction, I'd appreciate some ideas
on using CF mappings and IIS 6 Virtual Directories.

I have a cart application, for example, being used by several client, and
currently when I make any updates I have the odious task of copy/pasting the
new files to all of the sites.

It strikes me it would be a heck of a lot easier if they all used the same
files.

Any ideas on how I could go about this please?

Re: Mappings? Virtual Directories?

2007-04-28 Thread Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX)

Is it the same code? Different domains? If it is not the same domain, use a
ColdFusion mapping, it will be easier.  If you want to use VD instead you
can still do so, but you will need to do this each time you create a new
one, and they will all need to point to the same file base.

We do this with a a few folders we use across sites on our box.

One folder is a Images folder which of course needs to be created as a
virtual directory since it is pushing content to the browser. The other is a
cf mapping directory for code which does not need to be in the web root.
Coldfusion needs to run this code but the browser is not displaying it
directly so this type of folder does not need the virtual directory.

Hi Neil and Casey, thanks for your replies...

My current cart structure is to have all of the front end in root and the
cart admin and includes in a sub dir.

So all the files that change in design are in root, and everything is static
for each site in /cart.

Each site has a seperate domain and database.

Please point me to any document stating as much.  Now, if the customers 
would write better code (rather their developers), I would have much 
fewer issues ;).  Since they don't, and it takes near to 6 months to a 
year to affect changes, this is the only path I have to travel down.

Please keep in mind I inherited all of this.  I never would have made 
customers have a virtual site instead of a website were we to do it all 
over again.  But we can't, there's no money in it, and it would be an 
mess to maintain SSL certs for it.

Yes I'm defensive, apologies, but there's not really much I can do 
beyond this to make our environment more stable.

Multiple Instances and Virtual Directories...

2007-01-31 Thread Matthew Williams

We have multiple CF instances (all clustered) on our production systems. The
problem is, we don't run multiple websites (although this could change). Every
application has a /something site off of the root website. I've mapped sites
that use a different instance to the correct JRun filter (wsconfig/whatever)
and all seems well... except sometimes, the JSessionID assigned to a user
belongs to the main website. When this happens, a persons' request just round
robins within the instances, and session information is never stored correctly.

Has anyone else ever come across this? I'm thinking the only solution will be
to move sites with their own instance into their own website, but it's going to
involve multiple SSL sites on one IP with differing host heads... requiring a
large headache of IIS administration requiring *.mysite.com type CERTS (our
load balancing software defines a node by machine name, and can't handle
multiple IPs on a single server). Anyone else just map virtual directories to
different instances?

RE: Multiple Instances and Virtual Directories...

2007-01-31 Thread Russ

Matt,

I'm a little confused on what the problem is. You're saying you have
several sites such as

www.example.com/app1
www.example.com/app2
www.example.com/app3

and what you're saying is that app1, app2, and app3 are virtual folders, and
you've set up each virtual folder to go to a different instance of JRUN.

If you have multiple clustered instances of JRUN, the connector will round
robin between all the instances, and you should have session sharing enabled
so that sessions replicate between the instances.

I'm not sure exactly how the JSessionID cookies work, but if they are per
application, and you have different application names for each app, it's
possible that they are overriding each other.

Try using HTTPLook and see what cookies are being sent and received. If
this is indeed the problem, you might have to set up separate domains (or
subdomains) for each app. Something like

App1.example.com
App2.example.com
App3.example.com

Hope this helps,

Russ

It looks like such:

Cluster A (with replication - J2EE sessions enabled)
Machine A:
www.mysite.com
www.mysite.com/site1-n

Machine B:
www.mysite.com
www.mysite.com/site1-n

   Note:  Machine A  B same as above
Machine A:
https://www.mysite.com/somesite1

Machine B:
https://www.mysite.com/somesite1

What happens, is that a request to /somesite1 is getting a JSessionID that 
matches one of the IDs from cluster A.  Even though the request was made to one 
of the sites in cluster B.  I was looking at the requests in FusionReactor, but 
it didn't really dawn on me as to what was happening until I looked in the 
wsconfig/num/logFiles that it was breaking session stickiness and failing.  
It's just extremely odd that sometimes it works, and the right JSessionID is 
generated, and sometimes it doesn't work.  

I agree that the best solution would be to stick everyone into their own 
domain, but it's going to take time and paper work to enact such a change.  
People dont' like to hear that though.

It sounds like you need at least separate domains for clustera and clusterb.
Maybe something like 

www.mysite.com/
www.mysite.com/site1-m

and 

www2.mysite.com/somesite1


You can also just combine the 2 clusters and have all 4 instances server all
the requests.  What is the reason that the sites were split off into 2
clusters in the first place?

No, but I am willing to take a guess :)

When you connect IIS to a JRun cluster the connector uses sticky
sessions to forward requests from one browser to the same JRun instance.
The connector knows which JRun instance because each JRun instance has a
connector.properties file with a server.id that corresponds to the first
4 characters of the jsessionid cookie. So what I think is happening is
that the jsessionid has a server.id from cluster A while the request is
for a virtual directory that is served by cluster B.

If you are feeling adventurous you could try to make sure that the same
server.ids are present in each cluster, but that is untested and you
should try that in a test environment first.

Re: Multiple Instances and Virtual Directories...

2007-01-31 Thread Matthew Williams

It sounds like you need at least separate domains for clustera and clusterb.
Maybe something like

www.mysite.com/
www.mysite.com/site1-m

and

www2.mysite.com/somesite1

You can also just combine the 2 clusters and have all 4 instances server all
the requests. What is the reason that the sites were split off into 2
clusters in the first place?

russ

The lone application is in its own cluster because it is a resource hog. It's
been affecting other applications during times of heavy load. I forgot to
mention, this is a shared CF host with 40+ applications. Without the
/somesite1 traffic (and database pulls) in Cluster A, instance uptime is
currently at a week and growing.

However, the cause of the issues has been identified.

User vists www.mysite.com/site1. User gets generated a cookie for JESSIONID
with one of cluster A's ID. Instead of opening a bookmark to
www.mysite.com/somesite1, user clicks a link from within /site1 that takes them
to /somesite1. The browser is never closed, and the cookie for JESSIONID is
never destroyed.

Cluster B sees that the JESSIONID is not part of the cluster, so it just
round-robins the request forever. The end result is User has to login to the
application over, and over again, but never gets anywhere. Usually, the user
gets frustrated, closes the browser, and tries again. If they do directly to
/somesite1, it will then work fine.

So, the ultimate solution would be to give /somesite1 its own domain, but the
quick and dirty solution is likely going to be to delete the JSESSION cookie
before the get to /somesite1. How am I the lucky one to find all the odd-ball
issues.

Is there a way to configure a virtual directory in IIS that automatically
applies to *ALL* web sites?

There must be, because when you install coldfusion, cfdocs and cfide are
automatically added the new web sites created in IIS (if coldfusion is
configured standalone).

I'm not sure how it's done though.  I'd like to create a couple of virtual

process of point and clicking my way through the creation of 16 or 24
different virtual directories.

Probably several ways. I remember using cfx_IIS for this kind of thing. You
probably also have the ability to use the .vbs admin files in the wwwroot.

You could also roll your own using a VB app. Jeez, there may even be
interfaces for this in IIS 6 which are new since 5.

Every IIS server I've managed has automatically had cfide

But those have *ALWAYS* been CFMX installed in standalone mode.

I'm not surprised. DirectoryExists() works at the OS level, not

I would try a cfhttp. If you get an error code of 200 or 403 if the
(virtual) directory exists. If it doesn't, you should get a 404.
