CF8 Standard w/Apache Guidelines?

Memory: 4G
Operating System: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (i586), VERSION = 10, PATCHLEVEL = 2
Application Server: Cold Fusion 8 Standard

Database Version:8.3.5
For 99% percent of the time we have a pretty light load with 1500 hits a day mostly info pieces and some light e-commerce to register for classes. On registration days we get annihilated jumping from 100 connections to 800 right when we open.
We have used jmeter to try and gauge exactly what our one server is capable of handling. And I guess we still really do not know. I have noticed that if we sustain anything over 700 apache connects JRUN will throw errors. This seems to be by a design limit and happens automatically regardless of the pages involved. We have used seefusion to make sure none of our pages are hanging the server. Nothing is excessive though very little bit helps.
Can anyone suggest some general guidelines as to how many apache connections we should allow and what cf8 standard should be able to handle. The registration process is db intensive requiring many calls per page to maintain session etc. We have to do this to maintain compatibility with our internal system.
I believe we are hoping to be able to accomodate 1,000 users at peak. Is this something we can do with cf 8 standard on a single box?

Is it possible to accommodate 1,000 users with ColdFusion 8 standard? Yes it is possible, if the application is developed with this load in mind. Will CF8 magically accommodate 1,000 users no matter what, NO! No application server could.
Unfortunately there is no general answer, because EVERY application and server is different. Why do yo have to have so many database calls? What can you do to unload that to the database with procedures and packages? What can you do to cache content? What can be streamlined? What can be trimmed? What can be reused?
None of those answers are magic or automatic! The system and application have to be looked at systematically and anaylized and tuned.

Install cf8 standard edition with remote apache?

I am interested in installing cf8 standard edition on a stand
alone server on a windows (win2003 standard 64 bit) box. An Apache
web server (centOS 5) and a mysql will be another two separate
servers.
So, I am wondering if this infrastructure is OK? I never
tried them like this. I'd appreciate if anybody may share practical
experience. Thanks.

Have you had any luck with this? I'm pursuing a similar
configuration. It should be pretty straight forward since this is a
pretty normal set up, but the doc is limited.
It doesn't help that the connector for Apache seems to be
buried in the Linux install, which doesn't help when CF server was
installed on a Windows box. Am I missing something?

R2 required for CF8 Standard?

If I have Windows 2003 Server with service pack 1, and I want
to install CF8 Standard, do I have to add the R2 package to the
Windows Server 2003?

According to the system requirements, Yes, you do.

CF8 Standard on Linux 64bit?

Hi all,
I tried to install CF8 64bit on a 64bit Linux machine and it automatically got reverted to a developer version as our license key is for a standard version and not for an enterprise version, ok so far so good. I went back and installed the 32bit version on the machine and entered the code, seems to work fine BUT: I have CF running behind an Apache web server and I configured the Apache connector to be able to access the CF Admin via a regular URL, eg. http://dev.company.com/CFIDE/administrator instead using the port (eg. http://dev.company.com:8500/CFIDE/administrator) on which CF is running. CF told me, that it won't work with an Apache 64bit. I must say I'm little bit confused. Some questions on that:
- Is it correct, I need an enterprise license to run CF8 64bit?
- Can I install and run my standard license somehow on the 64bit machine?
- Does CF9 help me in this case by being 64bit capable in the standard edition?
- Or at least can I install CF9 in a 64bit environment?
Thank you very much for any advice, cheers

Standard Edition / Apache Server

Since there exists absolutely no information that I can
find... including in the manual that came with SE, I need to know
is SE only installable as a stand alone version, which Adobe
recomends you don't run as a production server, and which during
the install of developer, the directions state that is the only way
you can run it.
I am on a MAC with Apache and MySQL set up and want to
develope Flex CF projects that I will deploy to a production server
Linux RH with CF-SE, Apache, MySQL. How can I connect my Developer
Edition so I can see my Database, I see nothing and Help has no
reference to this at all.
I installed using the Stand Alone because as I mentioned
above the directions stated that the SE can only run in that
configuration ... did I jump the gun buying SE or is there a
tutorial (since it's not in the manual) how I can get my CF install
to see my database and webserver (MAC Platform - Apache MySQL)
Thanks, I hope the answer does not have me posting a for sale
ad on Ebay.

It is intended for production use. If you have paid for a
legitimate
license, you have bought a production server. Adobe does not
sell a
ColdFusion product that is not for production.
I think you are misunderstanding the idea of 'self
contained'. There
are two major flavors of ColdFusion, with a couple so
variations on the
second flavor. Standard which is a self contained version.
With this
version the JRUN Java server that ColdFusion runs on top of
is contained
within ColdFusion. As such it is not available to run other
JAVA, J2EE,
JSP type applications. It is 100% dedicated to ColdFusion.
With the Enterprise server. JRUN is not contained with-in
ColdFusion.
It is installed independently and ColdFusion is installed
under the JRUN
server in one of three ways. Stand-alone, multi-home or J2EE
war. In
this configuration the JRUN is fully available as a Java
server and can
have any other Java, J2EE, JSP applications installed in it.
I can not speak to your mySQL issue. I have never made use of
that product.

CF8 Standard Hangs

Recently upgraded to CF8 on 6 of our servers. Our software
vendor recommended we go with coldfusion standard edition. We have
550 concurrent connections, with the users browsing pages and
generating PDF Quotes. Every couple of days coldfusion locks up and
we have to restart the Coldfusion server. I have to report to my
boss if upgrading to enterprise will correct the problem. Only the
18k we are going to spend in upgrading doesn't warrant any help
from Adobe they want me to pay $400.00 so an engineer can tell me
we need to spend another 18k. So I'm hoping someone else has
experienced a similar problem, or can point me in the right
direction where I can prove to my boss that the single threading of
CF8 cfdocument tag is causing the server to lock up.

Since standard does not have the built in monitor, one or
both of the
third party tools, (SeeFusion and FusionReactor) provide
great
monitoring features that can point out bottle necks and poor
preforming
code. They would show the threads piling up behind this
single thread
point, if that is what is happening.
They both have trials as well as very low costs so that would
be my
first sugestion.

Moving CF8 Standard Server License

Hi all,
I'm really nervous about this, because this is a production server. I'm wanting to know if there are problems or issues that I should be aware of.
Current Server:
Windows 2003 Standard 32-bit
Coldfusion 8.01 32-bit standard
1 or 2 proc license
New Server (presently running in 30 day trial mode)
Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64 bit Standard
Coldfusion 8.01 32-bit standard
1 or 2 proc license
Everything is working on the new server, sites are operating normally.
Is it really as simple as?
- copying the text string license number
- stopping CF8 on the old server
- pasting the text string license number inside CF Admin on the new server
- restarting CF8 on the new server
What am I missing? Will this same license work on 32-bit CF8 in a 64 bit environment (Windows)?
TIA,
Mark

Nope, it's even easier than that - put the key into the new server now and it'll just work. Only thing you'll get is the occasional info message in the server.log saying "oh hello, someone on the network is using my key", at which point you just carry on with your life.
Not even any need to restart CF8 I don't think, CFAdmin will just apply it for you. I used our key on countless servers once when I was playing around with different versions of Windows for our devserver, nothing will shut down, Adobe will not come knocking at your door. If it's a genuine swapover and you have enough licences for the servers you're using, I'd sleep well at night.

CF8 Standard and Oracle

I recently had a server die that was running an old old cf4.5
enterprise with oracle. I just purchased the coldfusion 8 standard
(no $ for enterprise right now) and I need to connect to the oracle
database. Is there any instructions on doing this?
please help

I do not remember of the class file is all you need? I know

Difference btw cf8 standard and enterprise

hi,
i've downloaded the pdf from adobe website stating the
difference btw standard and enterprise edition. But i'm quite
puzzled on this:
Enterprise feature that runs through the Enterprise Feature
Router (EFR). These features will run in the Standard
Edition. However, all features running through the EFR will
be limited to one shared simultaneous request.
What is EFR? And does it mean that for standard edition, all
the tags fucntion remains the same except that it only allow 1
request of such tag at 1 time?

"What is EFR? And does it mean that for standard edition, all
the tags
fucntion remains the same except that it only allow 1 request
of such
tag at 1 time?"
For the effected functionality. This does not apply to all
Standard
Functions, just new Standard Functions that previously where
Enterprise
only such as gateways. Standard not has gateways, but only
one at a
time. I believe the same applies to some of the advanced PDF
functionality and similar features.

DBA Tasks - Industry standard guidelines

Hey :
As a DBA what are the recommended tasks that we should be doing regularly?
- Daily tasks
- Weekly tasks
- Sanitary checks frequency
- Must have documented reports
- What else??
I am looking at putting a system in place for the team. Any industry standard reference and guidelines would be good starting point for me.

Hi,
Any industry standard reference and guidelines would be good starting point for me. Everybody has a differing idea of the DBA job role. I've been a DBA for 25 years, and I would say the main duties include:
Install, patch and maintain all Oracle software
Tune all Oracle instance components including SQL and PL/SQL
Approve all production schema changes
Approve changes to database design
Control all migrations of Oracle schema objects
Design and implement a backup & recovery system
Implement Oracle failover technology
In addition, in some shops the DBA's take-on responsibility for a whole new set of Oracle DBA tasks:
Data modeling and Oracle database design
Data interface protocols
Managing data security
Managing development projects
Predicting future Oracle trends for hardware usage and user load
I have more notes here:

Coldfusion 8 /Apache Connector Bug??????

Could use similar assistance with our CF8 Standard upgrade.
I have spent a week trying to upgrade our dedicated server
from CFMX7 to CF8 with no success. I submitted an Adobe support
request ticket (Case #0180044098) about five days ago, but am still
waiting for them to help me resolve the problem. Thought I would
post this in case someone can offer assistance while I am waiting
for the Adobe school solution.
Our server configuration is as follows:
-- LINUX version: REDHAT Enterprise 4 i686 on standard - WHM
X v3.1.0
-- Apache version: 2.0.63
-- MySQL version: 5.0.45-community
-- PHP version: 5.2.5
-- WebHost Manager: version 11.15.0
-- cPanel Version: 11.18.1-RELEASE, cPanel Build: 20683
Here is what I have done most recently:
(1) Uninstalled CF8 (for about the fourth time).
(2) Deleted /opt/coldfusionmx7 and /opt/coldfusion8
directories.
(3) Restarted Apache, ensured the httpd-devel version of
Apache was installed.
(4) Reinstalled CF8 (for about the 5th time); it is running
and appears to have installed successfully (except for Apache
connectors).
(5) Modified
/opt/coldfusion8/bin/connectors/apache_connector.sh as follows:
../../runtime/bin/wsconfig \
-server coldfusion \
-ws apache \
-dir /etc/httpd/conf \
-bin /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd \
-script /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl \
-coldfusion
(6) Ran ./wsconfig -uninstall to remove old/incorrect
connectors.
(7) Ran ./wsconfig per the information below which indicated
that JRun Apache connector install was successful.
Here are the results of running the ./wsconfig ...

Although everything appears to have installed correctly, our
server and website will still not recognize or process .cfm files.
So I am still unable to even access CF8 Administrator and our site
will not process Coldfusion files, just asks me, "Do you want to
save this file, or find a program online to open it?"
Never had any problems with CFMX7 install or operation, so
this is most disconcerting.
I am not a happy camper.
Any suggestions while I am waiting for my Adobe customer
support ticket to be answered will be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Vspider spidering problem apache 2.2

HELP - CF8 administrator not loading

We recently downloaded and installed the trial version of CF8 becuase of issues we were having withour website. it appeared that was going to be the fix so we purchased the software. (CF8 Standard). I got the license and wanted to apply it but I couldn't get into the administrator program. I was told that it could not be applied to the trial version and I would need to uninstall and reinstall from the download. so I did. when I went to install the software it asks for the old serial number. which I don't have one. the screen gives another option to choose Devolper. I chose that and entered the serial number. I went through thte install with no errors and clicked finish with the check to open the administrator. well no matter what I try I cannot open it. I've tried the port 8500, localhost, 127.0.0.1, you name it. the message is that the page cannot be displayed with a 400. I called customer support and they said it was technical but tech support isn't helping me. I found several articles pertaining to the same thing but none worked for me.
I really need to get this going since our website is not working becuase of it. any help would be apprciated.
Thanks

@Techy_20, are you sure CF is indeed up and running? You could have JRun start but the CF web app (within it) not running. You can't rely solely on seeing the jrun process running or not. Also, have you looked at the logs (both cf/logs and cf/runtime/logs) to see what they may report?
You say that the Admin is not "loading". Well, the admin can be started a couple of ways, either using your external web server (IIS, Apache, etc.) or via CF's internal web server. That is a choice on installation (or that can be changed later using the web server configuration tool). Do you recall what choice you made on install? And since this is on Windows, and CF8 Standard, are you on the box where CF is installed? If so, use start>programs>adobe>coldfusion 8. Do you see the Administrator choice? What happens when you choose that? And if you're not on the box (or want to open the admin remotely), still, try that first (on the box). What happens then? You may learn a lot from trying that, before trying to access it remotely.
Let us know if any of that helps.

FileNotFound exception when trying to overwrite or delete an image in CF8. Why?

I have CF8 Standard Edition installed in my server and when I try to use CFIMAGE to overwrite the uploaded file with a resized one, or to write an image previously resized with ImageResize or ImageScaleToFit, I get an internal server error caused by a java.io.FileNotFoundException with some images, many in fact. In other words, the error happens because the system cannot find the file to overwrite.
Apparently the process jrun.exe maintains the original image blocked in such a way that even rejects a file name change. I used the same CF version in an older server and everything run smoothly, but when I had to change the server and migrate my websites I found this problem. The server is IIS7 on a Windows Server 2008 OS. Of couse any CMS without a proper image management is unuseful, so that is a critical issue for me.
Can somebody help me?

I have read the thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/844356#844356 and saw that the problem I had is due to a bug. Then ksmith posted: Try Patch for CFImage and Image functions in ColdFusion 8.0.1 (kb403411). And the patch works! wonderful! Problem solved!
Thank you very much for your fix.
