Cold Fusion Application Server

Hello all,
I'm having the weirdest issue with our CF server. They do not
run. However when I start Cold Fusion Application Server, I cannot
login to any of my backend admins. I suspect that it is because it
tries to set an application variable. Then I check for to see if
there the app var is set, if not it redirects to the login page.
I am guessing that the app var is not being set. If I stop
Cold Fusion Application Server, everything works fine.
I don't want to have reinstall CF 5 (on Windows 2000 srv).
Any ideas???
thanks

DettCom,
I had a similar problem to this, but I don't know if you have
the same configuration (it was on CF 6.1). I don't know a whole lot
on CF 5.
I was storing client variables in the cdata/cglobal tables,
and one variable's string ended up longer than I had planned for
(although it was, in fact, correct). I had to increase the size of
the "data" field in CDATA.
Also, anything in the logs? (I know you probably would have
mentioned if there were).

Updater 2 and Dreamweaver's Cold Fusion development server

Hello,
I am in the process of developing a Cold Fusion Web
application for my university dean's office using...
<cfobject type="COM" action="create" name="Chart"
Class="Corda.Embedder">
...and I am receiving this error message...
An exception occurred when instantiating a Com object.
...the Corda documentation states the following, and I agree
with them that this is what I am experiencing and need to do...
COM Corda Embedder (Windows)
If you are using ColdFusion MX on Windows, be sure you have
updated your server to the latest version using the ColdFusion MX
Updater Release 1. This is available at
http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/releasenotes/mx/releasenotes_mx_updater.html.
You will need to apply this update to fix a bug in ColdFusion MX
that prevents it from accessing Window’s Component Object
Model (COM).
Other than that, you don’t need to do anything. The COM
version of the Corda Embedder is installed automatically for you.
...I am running Windows XP Professional 2002 SP2, and the
Cold Fusion Developer Server THAT COMES WITH Dreamweaver 8.0. The
Cold Fusion server is an established server running several CF
applications. The Corda product is also known to be running fine,
as I am able to view my current projects in a browser.
Server Details
Server Product ColdFusion MX
Version 7,0,0,91690
Edition Developer
Serial Number Developer
Operating System Windows XP
OS Version 5.1
1) Am I missing something with instantiating the COM object?
2) How can I tell if I need the Cold Fusion updater?
3) Which updater version do I download (1 or 2) and for which
server (MX, MX7, Special Dreamweaver version)?
4) Where do I install the updater - since I am running the
Cold Fusion Developer Server that comes with Dreamweaver, it is not
located in the default C:\CFusionMX7 directory?
Thank You Very Much For Your Time,
Nathan
Technology Support Analyst, Sr.

2) How can I tell if I need the Cold Fusion updater?
Version 7,0,0,91690
You are on Version 7MX, no updater. After the update you will
have a
version something like this.
Version 7,0,1,xxxx OR Version 7,0,2,xxxx
3) Which updater version do I download (1 or 2) and for which
server
(MX, MX7, Special Dreamweaver version)?
You need to download and install at least updater 1 for MX 7
per the COM
instructions, updater 2 (which by default includes updater 1
IIRC) could
be even better, but has a small chance of doing something you
don't want
it to. One would have to read all the tech notes and make a
decision.
There is no "Special Dreamweaver" version, it is just the
standard Free
Development version anybody can download and install. "Serial
Number
Developer" And to turn this into a professional version all
one has to
do is purchase a license number an enter it into the
administration
panel. This converts a developer CF server to a Production CF
server
with no other downloading or installing necessary.
4) Where do I install the updater - since I am running the
Cold Fusion
Developer Server that comes with Dreamweaver, it is not
located in the
default C:\CFusionMX7 directory?
Most likely the installer will figure that out. If it does
not, just
provide the directory/file path to where your CF is installed
when asked.

Cold Fusion Web server

Does Cold Fusion come with a web server, or do I have to have
something like PWS installed?

Yes, as Ian said, it does come with a web server, but it's
intended for development on a local box only, and by default is set
to run on port 8500. It purports to process only for a single IP
address, although to my knowledge that plays out more in a way that
you cannot have two simultaneous requests from different IP
addresses. (i.e., you could still hit the webserver from one
machine, then hit it from another machine two seconds later).
At any rate, give it a download and try it out. The
installation is easy. Don't expect to use CF's built-in web server
for production purposes, though.

Cold Fusion Application Wizards

Anybody got Cold Fusion Flex Wizards to work with Cold Fusion
MX 6.1? Should I be asking this in the Cold Fusion forums?

already found the answer
flex has to be run as administrator if using WIndows Vista
simply shut down flex, right click the startup icon, choose run as administrator, and the visual query builder runs fine.
Dont know why this occurs because you are always prompted for the rds password.
anyway, problem solved.

Cold Fusion ODBC Server (CF7)

Just curious as to why there is a CF ODBC Server that is run
be default?
I thought it was necessary to run this to use data
connections with CF, but it turns out all of our sites run 100-fold
faster and better with the darn thing turned off and there is no
issue connecting to data sources!?
So why is it there at all? Just curious more than anything.

interesting
is it possible that when it is on, it actually handles all
data connections, not just Access? But when off the SQL connections
run through the native ODBC handlers?
I only ask because our server was bogging down yesterday and
as soon as I turned off the CF ODBC Server it was faster than it
had ever been in the past year or so!
Leaving the service off, the server is still way better than
it ever has been today.

Flashbuilder and Cold Fusion (using application/session variables)

I would like to know if anybody uses Flashbuilder with Cold Fusion?
Since Cold Fusion has lots of different scopes of variables (application, session, client, form, url, etc...) how do you manage this in Flex/Flashbuilder?
Are there forums or groups specifically for using Flex3/Flashbuilder with backend server side technologies such as Cold Fusion?.
The only server side technology that I have interest in is Cold Fusion. I've seen basic tutorials and videos using Cold Fusion CFC's and data binding with Flex. I haven't seen or heard anything using a Cold Fusion application, session, or client variable in Flex.
Hopefully some of you have some experience on this topic.
Thanks

hey popster,
i too had this question some time ago. my entire app was built on CF with HTML before i started integrating Flex 3 with it. i found that i needed to create cookie variables for all my session variables i was using in order to maintain and remember who the user was in my CFC calls. i also found that after i compiled a flex app, i changed the .html to .cfm (the file that loads the compiled SWF file). by doing this i was able to pass CF session variables into the flex app and you can refer to these anywhere in Flex by using Application.application.parameters.{variable name here}
add the CF variable in the FlashVars line to pass it into Flex (see the last line of code). this will create a variable (in my case i'm passing session.employeenumber). then in your flex app you can reference it by using Application.application.parameters.emplid:
AC_FL_RunContent(
   "src", "Request",
   "width", "100%",
   "height", "87%",
   "align", "middle",
   "id", "Request",
   "quality", "high",
   "bgcolor", "#869ca7",
   "name", "Request",
   "allowScriptAccess","sameDomain",
   "type", "application/x-shockwave-flash",
   "pluginspage", "http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer",
   "wmode","transparent",
   "FlashVars","emplid=<cfoutput>#session.employeenumber#</cfoutput"
A little trick I learned (does Adobe really expect us to re-engineer how our apps have been working by no longer using sessions for Flex?). Then in your CFCs if you also create cookies for every session variable you can maintain the variables based on user login. HOPE THIS HELPS!

Cold Fusion Communication

I want to find out whether coldfusion can talk with SVN ,the reason is I should be able to download the component from SVN to my local system modify and then add it again to back to SVN or directly upload a new component from my local system to SVN. Basically my cold fusion application sholud be able to talk with SVN to perform the above functions.

This is some dude named Dan's Prior Art, His site is dead but google gave a cached page... I can imagine all kinds of mods and uses for something like this...
Cool ColdFusion and Subversion integration
December 5th, 2007 Dan Skaggs Leave a comment Go to comments
I recently decided to outsource my souce code management to CVSDude. I had been running SVN on my VPS that I have at Slicehost and that had been running okay. However, I’m only good enough at SVN administration to get the server up and running and create a few repositories and there were other things that I needed to do with SVN that I frankly didn’t have time to learn how to do.
One of the things that I’d heard talked about that made life much easier was using Subversion’s various hooks to automate some things around different SVN events. I emailed tech support asking how we could configure the “post-commit” hook to update the files on my VPS each time I made a commit into the SVN module. The tech told me that they do this by configuring an HTTP call to a page (or script etc) on your server. That page then triggers an SVN update of the specific module.
After hearing this, I began thinking about how to use CFEXECUTE to trigger the SVN update and was actually surprised how simple it was. My VPS runs on Fedora Core 6, so, like any *nix operating system, you need to make sure permissions on the files are set so that the user which runs ColdFusion can write to the directories. Once that was accomplished, all it took was a few lines of code and we’re ready to start receiving HTTP callbacks from CVSDude’s servers.
CVSDude structures their SVN URLs in the format http://username-svn.cvsdude.com/modulename (or https://). All my modules are named in reverse domain order for the web site that it is for (for example, this one is ws.skaggsfamily.dan). I had already checked out all my modules into a specific directory.
The HTTP callback from CFSDude’s server has 4 URL parameters that they send over: root (full path to module), author (user), revision and date. So all I really had to do was grab the URL.root value and extract the name of the module, pass that to the CFEXECUTE tag and, voila, automatic updating of the module immediately after the commit.
There were only 2 gotchas that I had to figure out:
Put the full path to the svn executable
Add in your username and password to the string in the arguments attribute of CFEXECUTE
The code that I used is below. I’m sure there’s more that I could have done with it, but this is a good start I think.
<cfif structKeyExists(URL, “date”) AND URL.date NEQ “” AND
    structKeyExists(URL,”author”) AND URL.author NEQ “” AND
    structKeyExists(URL, “revision”) AND URL.revision NEQ “” AND
    structKeyExists(URL, “root”) AND URL.root NEQ “”>
    <cfset module = replaceNoCase(URL.root, “http://username-svn.cvsdude.com/”, “”)>
    <cfexecute name=”/usr/bin/svn”
      arguments=”up /var/sites/#module# –username yourUserName –password yourPassword”
      timeout=”300″
      variable=”result”>
    </cfexecute>
    <cflog log=”Application”
      type=”information”
      text=”#URL.author#:#URL.root#:#URL.revision# – #result#”>
<cfmail to=”[email protected]”
    from=”[email protected]”
    subject=”Server updated successfully”>
The server has been successfully updated with your lastest changes.
Details of the update are below:
Date: #URL.date#

Cold Fusion Websites fails

I have site on a Cold Fusion MX Version: 6,1,0,hf45343_611
running on A Windows 2000 server and IIS5 using a Microsoft SQL
2000 Cluster in the backend. When ever the cluster fails over the
websites fail. I then have to restart the 3 Cold Fusion Services
and do an IIS reset. Is there a setting that I can use to avoid
having to reset the services on the webserver?

Hi Upen,
Thanks for your response. It is a 64 bit machine and the setup is also 64 bit.
I would like to mention some points related to my deployment scenario:
We have a Windows server 2008 R2 Standard edition on Server machine.
I have a .net website appliaction deployed and running on this.
One of our third party vendor is developing Cold fusion application.
This Cold fusion application will be integrated in our .net website.
Deployment and configuration of Cold Fusion application and server wil be done by Third Party vendor.
I need to install Cold fusion and give access to Third party.
Issue when I install cold Fusion using default settings, my .net Website does not get loaded.
In Mozila and Chrome Browser I get blank Page with only Background image given in Body tab of page is getting displayed.
In IE Browser Page with background image given in Body tab of plus this text ' <script> src="" 'is getting displayed.

Cold Fusion 5 Support?

Hello
Got some applications which are running under Cold Fusion 5
Server. Can someone tell me if Adobe still supports this versions
(patches,hotfixes etc.) or is it out of lifetime cycle? I didn't
find something on adobe.com about this...
thanks for your answers

Hello,
It is only supported for Gold Support customers. For any
regular calls, Bronze and Silver Support plans we only provide
support for CFMX versions (6.0, 6.1, 7, and 7.0.1). So 5.0 is out
of lifetime cycle.

Cold Fusion/Flex Application Wizard crippled in Trial Version?

Hi,
I am using the 60 Day trial version of Flex Builder
3/Eclipse.
I wanted to try out the much vaunted Cold Fusion/Flex
Application Wizard, mainly because I could not get my head around
access from Flex to an existing CFC from the documentation alone.
So, I followed the directions:
Click the plus sign (+).
In the Name: text box, enter the name for the page.
Select the page type (master, detail, or master/detail).
Click Edit Master Form or Edit Detail Form, depending on the
type of form you are creating.
The Visual Query Builder starts.
But for me, when I click on 'Edit Master Form' the Visual
Query Builder does not start.
Now I have checked and confirmed that my RDS is working, and
that I can access the database via RDS in the Eclipse RDS browser
window. The RDS concerned is on another PC.
The PC on which Flex Builder is installed is a Vista
Ultimate/32 and the database is MS SQl server 2005 (running on the
other PC). Cold Fusion 8 is installed on both PC's.
So, my question is 'Is the CF/Flex Application wizard
deliberately hobbled/crippled in Flex 3 Trial version, or is there
something wrong with my installation.?
If this works for everyone else, then how do I debug my
installation ?
Thanks,
Bryn Parrott

in addition, I can say that I installed the same flex builder
trial on an XP machine, using its own local RDS, and found that the
wizard worked just fine.
So what is the variable here, why is the wizard not working
on the vista PC ?
Is it Vista ?
Is it the fact that I'm trying to use RDS against a remote
server and not the local one ?

SQL Server 2008/2008 R2 compatiblity with Cold Fusion 5.0

Our Cold Fusion Server is on Version 5.0 and database server is running SQL 2000. DBA's like to upgrade SQL Server to 2008/ R2. Is there any known issues in running or upgrading from Cold Fusion 5.0 with SQL Server 2008/R2 ?
Please let me know.
Thanks
Suresh Kumar

If you're looking at spending thousands on a SQL licence, has no-one considered buying a CF9 license? You'd save yourself a whole world of pain, and could then have a full 64-bit environment for your application which is tried and tested.

UAG 2010 SP4 Cold Fusion Web Application "You Are Not Authorized To Access This Application" error

Hi folks,
2010 UAG SP4 publishing a web app that is a Cold Fusion login page.
The portal trunk is set to not verify URLs and open with that page directly rather than a Portal page, I also have it set to not install client components, basically using UAG as a reverse proxy with some other items.
The published app does not require authentication and all users are authorized the path is as follows:
/index.cfm?FuseAction=Security.Login
And the hostname is set as www.apps.x.x.edu name removed but is correct. UAG has an http to https redirection and it requires https.
The Portal Link has https://xxxx as the address which is correct as it is using an SSL connection to the backend web server and I can reach the page successfully from the UAG server by simply browsing.
I previously had the application launching within the portal but the client does not want the extra step so I removed the portal interaction all together and while I had the application launching within the portal, it worked. I'm not certain what changed
to make it fail, though.
In the Web Monitor I receive this error:
A request on trunk nonuvaportal; Secure=1 failed because of an unknown application. The URL is /index.cfm?FuseAction=Security.Login. The source IP address is 137.54.129.238. The user is .
Any help or tips or advice would be superb.
Thanks,
Justin

And an update, I did another application publishing on a separate trunk/portal to a similar page
/index.cfm?FuseAction=Programs.Home
And I get the same error. Is there a switch/setting/policy I am missing to allow it to run those?

How do you determine what version of PHP is on the cold fusion server

I am trying to find out what version of PHP is on my cold
fusion server, how do I do this? Does coldfusion come with
PHP?

In the C:\Windows folder, locate the file called php.ini and
open it in Notepad.
<?php phpinfo() ?>
I answered it myself. Maybe it can help someone else.

Oracle Application Server 10g/Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g

Hi folks, This question related to migration/upgrade of Oracle Application Server infrastructure.
I see that the Oracle has come up with Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g. Is it the next release of Oracle Application Server 10g. I have the following questions. Appreciate if any one can provide answers to the following questions. Please correct me if my understanding of these oracle products is not right! Thanks
1. What is the future of Oracle Application Server?
2. Is it Oracle Fusion Middleware(OFM) 11g is the upgrade path if one need
to upgrade?
3. Is it expected that expected that customers need(if require) to move to OFM 11g?
4. Does OFM 10g comes with Oracle Application Server? If not what does
it comes with?
5. If it does not, what about customers having applications built using oracle forms and reports? Does OFG 11g
support Oracle forms and reports?
I understand that OFM 10g comes with Oracle web logic server!
Thanks in advance.
movva

To run Forms and Reports in Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g you have to use the distribution "Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer" in the FMW 11g software pack.
The structure of what we used to call "the application server" has changed a bit however, in the following way:
- In 11g you need to install the Javaserver WebLogic software (version 10.3.3 for the current Forms 11g version 11.1.1.3) first.
In 10g the installation of the Javaserver (OC4J) was part of the App server install.
Note that you just have to install the software, the configuration script for creating a Forms app server instance creates the WebLogic domain (comparable with the OC4J instance) for you.
- In 11g the Fusion Middleware software installation is separate from the creation of an application server instance.
This is more convenient and comparable to Oracle database and Weblogic installation.
- The Fusion Middleware Configuration script installs two parts of the product: 1. A WebLogic Domain. 2. A Fusion Middleware instance.
The first contains everything related to Java, such as the servlet configuration file (formsweb.cfg), while the latter contains everything that has less to do with the Javaserver
- No more Infrastructure server
The Infrastructure server does not exist anymore. If you want to use Single Sign On with Forms/Reports 11g you can install Identity Management 10.1.4.3 (or use Identity Management 11g, and configure separately the 10.1.4.3 Single Sign On) or keep your old 10g Infrastructure installation.
During installation you just have to specify you want to use OID and SSO and it configures out of the box.
Under normal circumstances the same licenses apply to 10g and 11g (as long as you do not use WebLogic for other purposes).

Oracle application server 10g and fusion middleware 11

Hi
I am confused about architecture of application server 10g and oracle fusion middleware.
I have installed oracle application server 10g that includes infrastructure tier ( database repository,SSO,OID,DAS,OCA) and mid tier (OC4j,forms,reports,discover,portal,wireless). Here I have totally understood the architecture of 10g application server and Installation method and sequence.
But I could not understand oracle fusion middle ware architecture and components compared to 10g application server.
Now I want to install the oracle fusion middle ware same as 10g application server keep in mind.
can anybody give me high level view of oracle fusion middle ware and it's component? and also difference between 10g app server and fusion.
how can I achieve same thing that i implemented in 10g app server with fusion?
If somebody have architecture diagram of both 10g app server and fusion that will also help me.
Thanks,
Vishal

Take a look at Page 2-1 of the
