[cfaussie] Coldfusion 9 and verity in multiserver configuration
Hi, Has anyone tried to use Coldfusion 9 and verity set up in multiserver configuration with success? We have a couple of front end servers, with a backend server, but we want those two front end servers to connect to the verity server on the backend server. Apparently this is just a simple case of specifying the 'Verity host name' in the 'Data & Services > Verity K2 Server' section in the Coldfusion administrator. This however is not working, when we try to use the cfsearch tag from the front end servers, we just get 'collection does not exist' errors, the collection does exist, and we can use the cfsearch tag just fine on the backend server. we are on 64bit windows server 2008 by the way. I'm stumped :) Regards Barry Chesterman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group. To post to this group, send email to cfaus...@googlegroups.com.

Nothing is ever a simple case when specified as such. How many variations of the hostname have you tried ? e.g. With/without domain name ? Have you tried IP Address in place of the name ? Either (Is the back end host name specified in the hosts file of the front end system ? That would be C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (no file extension) Or (Is the backend system named in the dns server that is accessed by the front end ?

Re: [cfaussie] Coldfusion 9 and verity in multiserver configuration
Hi Barry, I looked in to doing this circa 2007. I'd suggest trying to wrap it in a web service. Not sure if the Solr Service would be a better alternative. Instead of trying to explain it, here's Jason Delmore's response to me verbatim; "The license we have for CF only allows one CF server to connect to one verity server. Verity (now Autonomy), sells an add-on that allows you to connect multiple servers to one Verity server. You can however install verity on a separate server (still only connecting from one CF server). Maybe an uber search server with just one CF front end that all of the other CF servers hand search services off to (on the CF side… not the verity side..) is something you would want to do. If you are interested in the add-on, I can forward your info onto my contact at Autonomy to have someone contact you." Cheers.

Re: [cfaussie] Coldfusion 9 and verity in multiserver configuration
Interesting. I am possibly going to investigate migrating from Verity => Solr in the near future also. has anyone on the list been through this before and can comment on how easy or difficult it was? Are there any useful guides on doing this? Regards, Andrew. On 14 April 2010 12:17, MrBuzzy wrote: > Hi Barry, I looked in to doing this circa 2007. I'd suggest trying to wrap > it in a web service.

[cfaussie] Re: Coldfusion 9 and verity in multiserver configuration
After much banging of head against the wall, I managed to find a solution. I had to add the IP addresses of the front end servers to each tag in the admin xml file in \verity\Data\hosts\admin \ We will be moving to lucene in the near future anyhow, but we're stuck on verity for now. Which is good mind you because I'd have to say, Verity is the most poorly documented thing i've ever come across :) Barry.
