Display a blob from Mysql into Coldfusion?
I am trying to store images in the longblob text type in one of my tables, and then display the picture on a Coldfusion MX 6.1 page. When I try to get it to display, I get the following error: ByteArray objects cannot be converted to strings. The error occurred in C:\Web Sites\Scooter2\Scooters\Vform.cfm: line 29 27 : /table 28 : 29 : p#ProdImage# 30 : /p 31 : /div Can anyone tell me how I can get this to work?

Re: Adding DSN into Coldfusion Admin?
Just the fact that you GOT the gibberish meant that the server was running and that you were able to connect. What you saw was a Hello packet. It's one of the first stages to authenticating a MySQL client to a MySQL server. It's not meant for humans.

Re: Adding DSN into Coldfusion Admin?
Did the gibberish look something like this? Trying web-server2... Connected to web-server2. Escape character is '^]'. : 4.1.4a-gamma P--=)TK],rFDbDid:5:di Bad handshakeConnection closed by foreign host. If so, you got through to the mysql server. (See the version number?) You weren't connecting as a proper mysql client, so the last string doesn't make sense to you, and your answer didn't make sense to the mysql server, so it hung up on you. The point of the test was simply to see if you could get through to mysql on port 3306 (port is open) or not (port is blocked, probably by a firewall). It looks like you got through.

That probably means you can reach the MySQL server and the problem is on OSI-layer 5-8 :-) Could you go into the ColdFusion Administrator and go to the Settings Summary. From there, copy the settings and post them together with the exact text of the error message.

Hi Steve, You haven't got a firewall running have you? Is the MS Internet Connection firewall switched on? Sounds like some sort of firewall issue though.

MySQL user passwords and ColdFusion MX6.1
Helpful Hint: I had a major problem not being able to register a DSN (Data Source Name) with the CF Administrator, using username and password from a MySQL 4.1.3 beta user table. After much hair-pulling, I discovered that CF cannot apparently handle the new 41-character format of the passwords. Killing these off, restarting with --old-passwords and redoing them as 16-char passwords allowed CF to register the DSNs. Hope this might help someone else who's going prematurely bald.

Re: COLDFUSION AND MYSQL
Hi marco In the administration page of coldfusion, usually something like: http://domainName/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm?target=/CFIDE/administrator/welcome.cfm go to your data sources and click the edit button. THen click the show advance settings button. Make sure that the Allowed sql privelages are correct (ie. select, delete, update, etc). That is, if you give your coldfusion a datasource using the user name mySource you have to make sure that your sql database has a user mySource. Make sure that the user mySource has the correct privelages. That is, if you say that the user mySource can only have select privelages then you have to make sure that the coldfusion knows about it too and thus, you can't say that the user: mySource has drop or alter privelages.

crashing problem with Coldfusion, Mysql, and MyODBC
Hi - I'm having some problems with using MySQL, MyODBC, and Coldfusion together, so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone had any ideas on how to fix the problems. I see other people have had similar issues, so hopefully someone can help me out. So, we've running on Solaris 2.7, with Mysql 3.23.49 (using InnoDB tables...), Coldfusion 5, unixODBC-2.2.2, and MyODBC (both versions 2.50.39 and 3.51.02). Coldfusion and mySQL are running on the same machine. We've gotten everything to basically work - we can do everything we need to in Coldfusion, but we're having the dreaded crashing problem. When we put our Coldfusion application under load, or basically just click a lot of links in the application at once, Coldfusion crashes and restarts. The same application running against Oracle with the oracle native driver doesn't crash - this is code we've run for a long time in a different environment, so we don't think it's a code problem. Anyway - we suspect the problem is some sort of 'thread-safe' problem. Originally we used the binary distributions of MySQL and MyODBC, and then realized the Solaris binary that's available isn't threadsafe. So we built everything from source, following these instructions: http://dbforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=174934 MySQL ColdFusion unixODBC MyODBC and Solaris - how to succeed! of course, adding in the InnoDB option to the mysql compilation. But even after going through all this, we still had the crashing problems. So - I've seen other people post about having the crashing problem - are there any obvious things I may have missed? How do I know if MyODBC and mysqld have been compiled to be thread safe? Here are some concrete questions: Is there a way to force Coldfusion and MyODBC to connect to MySQL using network sockets instead of the Unix sockets? I'd like to test that to see if the behavior is different. I tried to follow the mysql documentation about compiling a thread-safe client: http://www.mysql.com/doc/T/h/Threaded_clients.html one thing I don't understand: The documentation states compiling with thread-safe options will create a thread-safe client library libmysqlclient_r - do I need to make certain that libmyodbc links against the libmysqlclient_r.so, instead of the generic libmysqlclient.so? I've seen posts in the past on this mailing list, and other places, about people having problems using mysql + coldfusion together, so if anyone can help, or has any ideas, please respond to the list or directly to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for any help!

RE: Coldfusion,Mysql,Myodbc
Even if you are using the CFServer 5.0 you will not be able to edit any MySQL DSN with the ColdFusion DSN web admin tool. First install the MySQL ODBC on your server, then create any DSN you need using the ODBC Sources tool (administrator tool on Win 2000). Once you created the DSN you want, the CF let you manage the DSN through the web admin interface! hopt it helps.

We have had no problem editing MySQL DSN's with the Merant drivers, although where you are asked for the MySQL server's hostname (and the MySQL server is on the same system as Cold Fusion), you must give the full hostname, not just localhost. If you use 'localhost' it will work initially but if you need to restart cfserver for any reason, then it will not be able to verify the DSN again, unless you have used the full Internet address of teh MySQL server.

A bit OT: ColdFusion can't connect to MySQL via ODBC (newbie)
Hello, list! I'm not quite sure that this is the right place to ask, but I'm having problems getting MySQL and ColdFusion Server 5 to work together. I have a ColdFusion server that connects to MySQL via ODBC. I've configured the Merant MySQL ODBC driver via the ColdFusion administrator, and it is able to connect to my MySQL database (at least it claims that the connection was successful when clicking verify in the CF admin). The datasource name is hpTest. However, trying to connect to the database in an CFM doesn't seem to work at all. My error message is ODBC Error Code = 08003 (Connection not open) [MERANT][ODBC lib] Connection not open The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFQUERY), occupying document position (2:1) to (2:114). and the code goes like this: cfquery name=Test dbtype=ODBC dbname=hpTest datasource=hpTest SELECT * FROM hpTest /cfquery cfoutput query=hpTest#FieldName1#, #FieldName2#br/cfoutput I've been reading TFM, browsing TFW, reading TFML and I've even been to (*ghasp*) Microsofts ODBC-pages looking for an answer (and you know it's -bad- when that happens!g).

Mysql max, coldfusion 5.0, and MyODBC
Hello, I've been using mysql 3.23.47 with Coldfusion 4.52 for several months, and I want to switch to a new server with mysql max 3.23.47 and Coldfusion 5.0. I was able to get the new versions of each running on the new server without any problem, but I can't get the Coldfusion 5.0 serverto connect to the new mysql database. I have been able to connect to the database from the remote coldfusion server (version 4.52) without any problem. We are running Redhat 7.1, mysql max 3.23.47 using InnoDB tables in the first database, Coldfusion 5.0 and have installed the current(2.50.39) version of MyODBC. I have permissions set the same way I do on the older box, as well as the same operating system and MyODBC version. Has anyone else run into any similar issues, or have any idea what could be causing the problem?

Re: Coldfusion?
ColdFusion server on Unix/Linux platform, then yes. The ColdFusion server for Linux/Unix comes complete with the MySQL drivers necessary. I have successfully created CF-MySQL pages without any problem. When I have installed ColdFusion on Windows platforms, it has NOT come with the MySQL drivers. I'm not sure if there's a place to get MySQL drivers for ColdFusion? I haven't tried. The My-ODBC drivers might work. I don't know.

RE: Coldfusion?
I currently use MySQL along with CF v5 on a Win2k box. After installing MySQL, install the myODBC drivers (also available at MySQL.com), setup your DSN on your win box, then attach them in CF and you are ready to rock. While my install is still new (a few months), I could not be happier after moving from MSSQL. stephen -Original Message- From: MSL [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 09:16 To: MySQL Subject: Coldfusion?

Re: Coldfusion? Database, MySQL
database,sql,query,table Hi Stephen Good to hear your very postive notes on Win2K/Coldfusion/MySQL. I'm just setting up, and wondering about some notes in the MySQL documentation: In the following circumstances you will need to use the MySQL configuration file: 1.The install/data directories are different than the default `c:\mysql' and `c:\mysql\data'. 2. If you want to use one of the these servers: mysqld.exe mysqld-max.exe mysqld-max-nt.exe 3. If you need to tune the server settings. There are two configuration files with the same function: `my.cnf' and `my.ini' file, however please note that only of one these should can used. Both les are plain text. The `my.cnf' file should be created in the root directory of drive C and the `my.ini' file on the WinDir directory e.g: `C:\WINDOWS' or `C:\WINNT'. If your PC uses a boot loader where the C drive isn't the boot drive, then your only option is to use the `my.ini' file. Also note that if you use the WinMySQLAdmin tool, only the `my.ini' file is used. The `\mysql\bin' directory contains a help file with instructions for using this tool. Using notepad.exe, create the configuration file and edit the base section and keys: [mysqld] basedir=the_install_path #e.g. c:/mysql datadir=the_data_path #e.g. c:/mysql/data or d:/mydata/data If the data directory is other than the default `c:\mysql\data', you must cut the whole `\data\mysql' directory and paste it on the your option new directory, e.g.: `d:\mydata\mysql'. If you want to use the InnoDB transactional tables, you need to manually create two new directories to hold the InnoDB data and log les, e.g. `c:\ibdata' and `c:\iblogs'. You will also need to add some extra lines to the configuration file. If you don't want to use InnoDB tables, add the skip-innodb option to the configuration file. Now you are ready to test starting the server. I have the MySQL database installed under directory drive letter 'E:\MySQL' , the 'E:\' directory being what I use for all my software, and I use my 'D:\' directory for all data. This would seem to suggest that I fall under number 1. of the above circumstances. However, I am finding the following notes (as copied above) from the documentation less than clear. Can you advise or clarify what the correct process is in this case?

Re: Coldfusion?
Mark -- We've been running Cold Fusion with MySQL on the Solaris platform for almost two years now and have had such terrible problems with Cold Fusion errors that we have begun the process of migrating to PHP. Our average load has been about 30,000 .cfm pages (linked to MySQL backend) served per week, which I don't consider to be too heavy a load to expect the system to handle successfully. Unfortunately, our log files are riddled with fatal Cold Fusion errors and subsequent restarts. It got so bad that we had to institute a cron job to check for the happiness of the CF processes every 3 minutes and restart them if there was a problem. No amount of MySQL configuration tweaking, query optimization, Cold Fusion configuration tweaking, Cold Fusion query caching, or version upgrades of MySQL or Cold Fusion made much of a dent in the problem. I've heard from a number of other folks concerning similar experiences. Allaire pointed the finger at MySQL, which I've had no reason to believe is the problem. To back that assertion up, I can say that converting our most heavily used dynamic pages from CF to PHP has already had an *incredible* effect on the stability of the system, with no other MySQL changes. If you are thinking of running CF on Solaris, save yourself the headaches and use PHP instead. I can't speak to it's performance on Windows.

Seems strange that there are such diverging reports on coldfusion today, but your experience and tales from 3rd parties has to be seriously considered.

RE: Coldfusion?
-Original Message- From: Andy Ingham [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] We've been running Cold Fusion with MySQL on the Solaris platform for almost two years now and have had such terrible problems with Cold Fusion errors that we have begun the process of migrating to PHP. Our average load has been about 30,000 .cfm pages (linked to MySQL backend) served per week, which I don't consider to be too heavy a load to expect the system to handle successfully. Unfortunately, our log files are riddled with fatal Cold Fusion errors and subsequent restarts. It got so bad that we had to institute a cron job to check for the happiness of the CF processes every 3 minutes and restart them if there was a problem. Oh boy... I'll confirm that as well. I previously worked at Macmillan Computer Publishing (www.mcp.com) when I wrote The Personal Bookshelf and migrated that application from cgi-bin/perl and dbm arrays to Cold Fusion/Oracle all on Solaris. It was CF version 4. And it was really bad. In a development environment where there is limited access, and the machine load is relatively low, it's no problem. Yet, the webstats were saying we had approximately 8,000 users using the Personal Bookshelf at any one time, so it was going to be put under a heavy load once it is in production. Such happened and CF really really choked. The machine suffered under a really high *load*. Typically above 90%. The sysadmins joked that the machine was working so hard it was glowing in the corner. We optimized the code over the course of a couple of weeks scruitinizing the CF markup for more efficient ways to do things in order to get it down to a load. We got the load down to between 60-70% as I remember, which was still too high. Not only was the machine at an unusually high load, but the CF server would die periodically between every 10-45minutes. The sysadmins eventually wrote a script to check the health of the CF server instance that'd run every 3 minutes to determine whether or not it should restart CF automtically. It was a really bad situation. We talked with Allaire and they couldn't believe the problems we had with CF on Solaris. At the time, Allaire said that we had the largest *nix based CF application on the www with a Sun Ultra with 4 GB of RAM tied to a pretty heavy amount of disk space, etc. We provided them with database schema's, data, and our code ... and let them try it out. They did. And they confirmed everything we had said...even in their environment. They said the design of the database and the coding of the pages didn't contribute to the poor performance of the CF engine. Ultimately, they said they couldn't help us because the thing in CF that was causing all of the problems (they said) was a simulated windows registry that CF requires in order to operate. They said that we were also suffering from a lot of errors where CF would loose database connections and not keep threads alive like they would in a non-*nix environment without a heavy load. They had no answers for us at all. They suggested that it be monitored constantly so that the application stays running as much as possible. When I heard about the simulated registry for *nix servers built into CF, I nearly hit the roof! I couldn't hardly believe it. That was a couple of years ago, and CF has went from 4 -- 4.5 -- 5. Under a windows environment, it's probably pretty good. Under *nix (Solaris in my experience) it really left much to be desired. I'd avoid it and stick with php on Solaris any day.

I previously worked at Macmillan Computer Publishing (www.mcp.com) when I wrote The Personal Bookshelf and migrated that application from cgi-bin/perl and dbm arrays to Cold Fusion/Oracle all on Solaris. It was CF version 4. And it was really bad. In a development environment where there is limited access, and the machine load is relatively low, it's no problem. Yet, the webstats were saying we had approximately 8,000 users using the Personal Bookshelf at any one time, so it was going to be put under a heavy load once it is in production. Such happened and CF really really choked. The machine suffered under a really high *load*. Typically above 90%. The sysadmins joked that the machine was working so hard it was glowing in the corner. We optimized the code over the course of a couple of weeks scruitinizing the CF markup for more efficient ways to do things in order to get it down to a load. We got the load down to between 60-70% as I remember, which was still too high. Not only was the machine at an unusually high load, but the CF server would die periodically between every 10-45minutes. The sysadmins eventually wrote a script to check the health of the CF server instance that'd run every 3 minutes to determine whether or not it should restart CF automtically. It was a really bad situation. We talked with Allaire and they couldn't believe the problems we had with CF on Solaris. At the time, Allaire said that we had the largest *nix based CF application on the www with a Sun Ultra with 4 GB of RAM tied to a pretty heavy amount of disk space, etc. We provided them with database schema's, data, and our code ... and let them try it out. They did. And they confirmed everything we had said...even in their environment. They said the design of the database and the coding of the pages didn't contribute to the poor performance of the CF engine. Ultimately, they said they couldn't help us because the thing in CF that was causing all of the problems (they said) was a simulated windows registry that CF requires in order to operate. They said that we were also suffering from a lot of errors where CF would loose database connections and not keep threads alive like they would in a non-*nix environment without a heavy load. They had no answers for us at all. They suggested that it be monitored constantly so that the application stays running as much as possible. When I heard about the simulated registry for *nix servers built into CF, I nearly hit the roof! I couldn't hardly believe it. That was a couple of years ago, and CF has went from 4 -- 4.5 -- 5. Under a windows environment, it's probably pretty good. Under *nix (Solaris in my experience) it really left much to be desired. I'd avoid it and stick with php on Solaris any day.

Using ColdFusion with MySQL
Has anyone setup MySQL 3.23.44 with ColdFusion 5.0 Enterprise Edition. I have heard that there may be problems with transactions. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do this, and if they could point me to some reading material. I was also wondering if MySQL 4.0 would include transactions and stored procedures, and if so, when it would most likely be stable. Note I have not used 4.0, and was wondering if it would be advisable to use if I would be populating it with a lot of data, and running intense queries with respect to stability? - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

You can avoid this by either: 1. Enabling InnoDb/BDB table support in MySQL server or 2. By Disabling the transactions in MyODBC by checking ' Disable transaction' option from DSN dialog.

Help needed with MySql/MyODBC ColdFusion on Win2k
Hi! I am desperately trying to get the following combination to run: MySQL (Win32 3.23.44) on host_1.something.tld ColdFusion Enterprise 4.5.1 SP2 for Windows on host_2.something.tld MyODBC 2.50.39 for NT/2000/XP on host_2.something.tld The MySQL-DB ist hosting one database named TEST with one table 'produkte' (for now). I granted a new user 'administrator' with password 'something' all privileges on the database. Then I installed myodbc on the ColdFusion machine and set up a system DSN named MYSQL, server host_1.something.tld, DB TEST, user 'administrator', pwd 'something'. Whenever I restart the ColdFusion service, I can actually verify the MYSQL ODBC-source successfully and run queries on the tables therein. After some time (just a few minutes usually), verification fails completely however, and the very same query, which did return results before, now just returns an error message. Here's the error message of the query: Error Diagnostic Information ODBC Error Code = () Unknown connection error for the data source, 'MYSQL.' SQL = SELECT ProduktID, Name, Beschreibung, LetztesUpdate, Bemerkungen FROM produkte Data Source = MYSQL ColdFusion Admin returns on verification-attempt: The connection to the data source failed. Check the following to resolve this problem: Are the data source settings configured properly? Did you provide valid security information in the data source settings ? For some databases the ColdFusion Server may need to be logged in under a special NT account rather than the default System Account. Use the Windows NT Services Control Panel to change the account the ColdFusion Server service is using. When I run some other ODBC-access-client like StarOffice 5.2 on host_2.something.tld, I can get access to the MYSQL datasource, although something seems to be a bit messed up there, too, as the 'TDX mysql Driver default configuration' (the configuration dialogue of myodbc) keeps popping up on the first two or three connection-attempts and I have to re-enter the 'something' password, before getting a successful connection. This password is however still entered correctly in the main-configuration of myodbc... From my point of view it looks like some kind of time-out problem, as it's working fine for the first few minutes after the first access to the database from a freshly started ColdFusion service but fails some time after that. Has anybody got this combination to run smoothly (sorry, only interested in Win32-environments!)? How did you manage to get it to run and which versions of MySQL and myodbc do you use? Did you change anything in ColdFusion like timeout-Settings or whether to maintain db-connections or not? One more thing I noticed: The MYSQL-driver doesn't appear in the dropdown-list for ODBC-drivers under the ODBC Data Sources Available to ColdFusion-section of ColdFusion Administrator. However, the datasource MYSQL with the 'MySQL'-driver is still listed there, it's only verification which fails. Please help - I'm now experimenting with this mess for more than two days already and can't exactly pin down the source of all evil ;) Greetings, Markus - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

ColdFusion, talking to a mySQL database, on Solaris 7
Hey all, I'm fighting to get ColdFusion 4.5.1 SP2 to talk to a mySQL DB on Solaris 7 using unixODBC/myODBC. anyone here tried this? I've gotten to the point where I can see the myODBC mySQL Driver in the CFIDE/adminstrator ODBC screen. I've added various entries to the CFHOME/odbc/odbc.ini, CFHOME/bin/start, and copied all the library files associated with unixODBC/myODBC to the proper places (as far as I know at least). However, I can't get the DB to verify. I think I might have flubbed the username / password portion of mySQL, but I'm not posisitive. All the entries are passing the same user/pass now, but still, can't access the DB through CF. Suggestions anyone? -ALEX Web Designer, LibertyLiveWire 323-603-2118 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Coldfusion/MySQL - Connection Failed
Hi! Let me try to restate my question and provide more information. Running: Linux 2.2.16-3, Coldfusion 4.5, MySQL 3.23.33 Problem: "The connection to the data source failed. Check the following to resolve this problem: ..." Now, I get this error on one database called xprojects while I can get the datasource to verify on the test database that came with mysql. i connect to the test with no user and no password. I tried to set up the permissions on the xprojects database like the test database.. but it still didnt work. I am assuming based upon what I have read about MySQL and Coldfusion that this is a permissions issue. For those that have this working what should the permissions be like and could this be anything else?
