Mac Users Beware! - Security Update 2008-005 (Intel) stopped Apache talking to CF8

2008-08-07 Thread Matt Barfoot
Yesterday I installed Security Update 2008-005 (Intel) on my MacBook Pro and Apache wouldn't talk to ColdFusion 8 any more! I'm not Mac savvy enough to understand why, but it had something to do with paths. Symptoms were very confusing and caused many hours of head scratching. It wasn't startin

Hello Jonathan, I had a problem with Verity and a certain set of PDFs on MX7. I've experimented hard, but with no resolution. I lot of people who use Mac's and cf favour apache lucene. There are quite a few examples out of using cf with lucene. I downloaded them code and followed the getting start

1) Are the ajax components resuable i.e. using javascript libraries and methods going to stay the same so you just need to change the server-side response to these calls? 2) Pick one of the code files and convert it -- how useful this is depends, because you may or may not be able to test the resu

If you're going to the Excel manipulation server-side then this is probably a good bet: http://jexcelapi.sourceforge.net/ You will need to install the relevant jars on to your server, update your java classpath in cfadminstrator and then call with cfobject. After that it should be a simple case
