Re: Saving empty (zero-length) files is prohibited.

search (and my short memory) it has something to do with file extensions on a mac (especially before OSX). Apparently, if you specify an incorrect path or name in the file upload field (try typing one in by i don't think it's a file extension issue because the file i'm attempting to upload does

Saving empty (zero-length) files is prohibited.

I've had many errors thrown, since upgrading to CFMX, when uploading a file. The error looks something like this... No data was received in the uploaded file NatGeo.webloc. Saving empty (zero-length) files is prohibited. Verify that you specified the correct file. I took a look at the open

Re: cf-based discussion board

Honestly, a forums app is rather simple to build. CFPOP to read mail in, CFQUERY to store it, CFQUERY to get I always assumed that the HoF forums was built from old scraps of the Allaire Forums that eventually went open source. Not the greatest forums package in the world but a decent place to

Very odd error : 48 = 48

A have a fairly large CF 6.1 / MS SQL Server system that's been growing (code and users) for about 4 years now. We've been running 6.1 for awhile with few problems (except maybe that JDBC problem, rolled back to the old MSSQL drivers). Recently an error has popped up when someone tries to delete

Quiz builder?

I've been looking for a nice quiz/test builder for an online course system i'm working on and can't seem to find one, at least not one for ColdFusion. Anyone come across anything like this? I'd rather buy some open code than write it myself, too many other things to work on right now. Most of what

CFMX 6.1 and WebDAV

Do you mean CFMX as a webdav client or server? As a server look at the webdav in tomcat, remembering that CFMX is basically a j2ee app.. I've looked at Jakarta Slide which integrates into Tomcat and I may end up going that direction. Only problem is that my main system is on Win2k/IIS so it

Choosing a chat system

Try cfChat - http://www.cfchat.net - I've been using it for years and haven't had any problems with it. I was in a similar situation - already have user accounts in a dB, need a place for them to chat without entering new information. In addition i wanted a non-Java cross-platform chatroom.

CFMX 6.1 and WebDAV

So according to Ben Forta's DevNet article and other info on the 6.1 enhancements, we learn the following... The CFHTTP tag now supports all HTTP operations (GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, OPTIONS). Okay, that sounds great and it just happens to coincide with my search for

active edit alternaitves

Thanks for the realObjects suggestion. That's the only one i've seen so far that's cross-platform. activEdit gives their excuse about the Mac not supporting LiveConnect while realObjects finds a work around for the issue. So who would you trust for maintaing excellent future development? But i

Cache-control: no-cache

What exactly does the set-cookie portion allow for? My guess would be that it allows cookies to come thru okay, but that seems to be happening even with the CFHEADER code in my original message. Could you explain the set-cookie portion a little better and how it would be implimented with

Cache-control: no-cache

I've had trouble with bad proxy configurations lately. In the past I've used the Pragma:no-cache http header (via CFHeader) but had problems with browsers seeing pages as expired. Recently someone suggested using Cache-control: no-cache to tell the proxy server not to cache the page. Can anyone

MAC OS 10 - CFFILE

I'm surprised you can't find any answers on this one - I've tried to explain it in quite a few different venues (here and Macromedia's Forums) quite a few times. The issue is with IE 5 on the Mac, both OS 9 and OS X. If you try Netscape or OmniWeb you probably won't have this issue. IE 5 adds

OT: ecommerce live chat case study

I run a CF-based professional development site and we offer 9-5 live Help Desk support to our users via a Flash-based chatroom. You can buy that package at http://www.cfchat.net and customize the code at will, just like we did. It integrates quite nicely with the rest of our system. Of course

Macintosh/CFFILE Problems - Corruption

The problem here really has nothing to do with file types. The problem is with the Mac IE 5 browser. When using this browser, when you post a multipart form (such as when uploading a file), the browser adds a carriage return to the end of every field value. This is quite a pain when dealing
