Cold Fusion / developer edition

hey guys
sorry to ask you this but it has been hanging over my head
for a long period of time.
I have been unable to get my mind around the concept of "the
developer edition of Cold Fusion". from what i have learnt , i can
use it locally only. Does that mean that i wont be able to transfer
my cold fusion files onto a webhosting that supports ColdFusion??
Am i expected to present "my license to ColdFusion" to my web
provider every time I upload a website onto a webhosting?
Please someone explain to me what happens when i upload my
coldfusion-based website onto a webhosting. Will it stop working or
will my code get corrupted??
Cheers

Hi Maros
There are a few of things you will need to be aware of when
you move to the
server. First, be sure the mapping on the server is the same
as it is
locally, this especially concerns CFCs. In Dreamweaver if you
drag a CFC
function onto a page Dreamweaver will map the dot path to the
CFC including
the folder your site is in within the ColdFusion8\wwwroot
folder, naturally
this folder doesn't exist on your server since the entire
site is directly
in your root folder. Be sure to address this before going
live.
Also, make sure you move your database to the server and set
up the DSN,
using the exact same DSN name you used locally.
Finally, make sure your host supports the same version of CF
as you have
locally as well as the database if you are using MySQL or SQL
Server. If you
are using Access, be sure your host server is a Windows
sever.
Doing this should make for a smooth transition.

Can be Cold Fusion Developer Edition used to develop the product and deliver to client?

Can be Cold Fusion Developer Edition used to develop the product and deliver to client?

The two IP limit not withstanding, the EULA for ColdFusion prevents you from legally using Developer Edition in any production environment. Using it for development is fine, though.

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 Developer on Intel Mac

I just ordered an Intel Mac....will I be able to install cold
fusion on it for development?
I saw the system requirements posted on the site were for
Power PC processors. So I was just curious if anyone has
successfully used cf with Intel yet; without problems.
Thanks,

Many of us have this running on Intel just fine.
Heres probably the two best links out there to get it

Cold Fusion Standart Edition Configuring iis7 Help!

Hi,
Well i just got this great task to install and configure a
server for the first time. I am a coder, not a network specialist,
and IIS7 differs from previous versions and i am still getting used
to the interface. Anyways, so i have ColdFusion standard, installed
on a system running Windows server 2008 beta. Similar to vista but
without the crap intended for the end user. I have at this point
create a test site. After my first test i got a error 500 saying
that the MIME was disallowed. So i enabled the mime but now it
simply send the file trough ftp. I have enabled FTP on the server.
But i think my problem is in the application pool. I am unsure what
to enter there. Or so it seems. Please tell me if you have any
instructions that you can give me to complete this task.
Your help is appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Oanh,
Just try this and I got this from a different blog
To fix this issue, grant the Network Service user in the IIS Worker Process
Group (IIS_WPG) read and write access to the jrun_root\lib\wsconfig directory,
including the sub-folders and files. Restart the IIS Admin Service and the JRun
services after making the permissions change.

I believe your MX Studio came with a developer edition of
CFMX 6.0. There are now several newer editions. Each is greatly
improved over the original CFMX (over 5 years old now). I would
recommend you uninstall CFMX6 and install the latest CFMX 7.02 at:
http://www.adobe.com/go/trycoldfusion
or at least install CFMX 6.1 updater 1. Both are available at the
same URL. The bottom dropdown is for CFMX 6.1. Each of the CFMX
installers allows you to choose between a trial version (enterprise
for 30 days, then developer) or a licensed version if you have a
license. The original CFMX 6.0 is not a good option at this point
in time.

Modifying cold fusion script not picked up by iis

We are running coldfusion 7, using iis6 on windows 2003 server. I am not a cold fusion developer and this is the only coldfusion script we have created by a previous developer. I needed to make some simple modifications to the script, including a change in the title. After having restarted IIS the modified script is still not showing the new title. What do I need to do for iis to show the changes in the cfm file?

It's in the CF Administrator, which is separate from the JRun Admin Console. You can often get to the CF Administrator with a URL like this:

Should I Install ColdFusion MX7 Developer Edition

Hi, I insalled Dreamweaver 8 and noticed that it had an
additional software of Cold Fusion MX7 Developmer Edition. I have
asked my IT person about installing this on my personal computer
and he said there shouldn't be a problem. My main reason for
installing it is that it appears to have the ability to created
PDFs. My questions is, is this Developer Edition the same as the
Standard Cold Fusion, and would it benefit me to install it?
I am computer knowledgeable, but not about something such as
this.
Thank you.

Yes, Developer Edition is the same as a production licensed
version of
ColdFusion with some throughput throttles. I.E. The developer
Edition
can only be accessed by a localhost (127.0.0.1) IP address
from the
computer it is installed on and two other remote IP
addresses. Any
other IP that tries to access a CFML template on this
computer will get
an access denied error. There are some other throttles on
some of the
other advanced features.
Would it benefit you to install it? Yes, but maybe not as
completely as
you hope. It will let you create PDF's with ColdFusion's many
PDF
features allowing you to develop applications with this
functionality.
Every PDF it creates will have a giant "For Development
Purposes Only"
(Or language to that effect) watermark embedded across the
entire PDF.

CF Licensing Issue - Logs say Developer Edition, but should be Standard

Hi there,
We have an installation of Cold Fusion 7.02 on CentOS 5.
When we applied the Standard License key, the CF admin page
shows that it's running the Standard Edition, but the logs show
that it has reverted to the Developer Edition. This is the log
entry:
warning Invalid license; reverting to Developer Version
We recycled this License key from a Windows installation of
ColdFusion. We've uninstalled CF from that machine.
Any ideas on what might be the problem?
Thanks!

This is a support issue. Call Adobe for help.

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.

Multiple Cold Fusion Instances

Can you run multiple instances of cold fusion using cold fusion standard?

Hi
Welcome to Adobe ColdFusion forums . Multiple instance is a feature of Adobe ColdFusion Enterprise. So you will not be able to achieve the same in Standard Edition.
http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-family/buying-guide.html
For development purpose, install CF 10 as trial which will act as Enterprise Edition for 30 days. After 30 days, CF 10 will become Developer edition and you can continue your development.

How not to use Cold Fusion and Java

Overview
This write up is intended to give java developers that are
developing ColdFusion applications some beneficial information:
things that are not documented.
Scenario
The company builds enterprise class web application software
for fortune 500 companies. It had purchased a CF 7 based product,
had and existing proprietary J2EE based product, and needed to
integrate the two while meeting a host of new requirements. These
requirements were based on delivering a better user experience,
faster / cheaper integration, increased flexibility /
configuration, useablily, decreasing maintenance costs, the ability
to deploy in either install or ASP models. An initiative was
started to create a new framework that integrated the best of each
technologies. Tactically, this meant that we were to build a hybrid
CF and java application: one that used building blocks (decoupled /
cohesive components) that would allow applications to be rapidly
assembled, configured and deployed. This made sense on several
levels, the team was composed of Java and CF developers, the CF
rapid application development was very productive, there is great
functionality delivered in the CF platform and initial performance
tests showed no cause for alarm
The agreed upon design, based on requirements, and analysis
by both the CF and Java staff has us using CF in the presentation
layer, using a CF based MVC, use of CF based web services. The MVC
was deployed using CFC inheritance for model objects and views made
use of CF custom tags. The internals of the application, used a
rules engine, some proprietary java, ORM, and other J2EE
technology. The initial performance of the system was reasonable.
We pushed on with product implementation.
Then it was time to load test the application, and tune it.
Under load the response times were orders of magnitude slower,
sometimes the pages even timed out.
Armed with our profiler, oracle execution plans and we
charged ahead addressing issue after issue. Note that we took
meticulous care in tweaking the active thread pool and ensuring
that our CF setup was tuned for our application. None of the
observations here are a condemnation of the language; rather they
are aspects that, when considered together, not conducive for
building integrated java and CF frameworks that use a structured /
OO programming practices. Further detail can be provided on
request.
CFC inheritance should be avoided - resolution of variable
scope is expensive even if properly declared.
Since CF creates a class per method under the covers call
stacks become very large, especially if used in a loop. This is
nominally exacerbated by CF calls necessary to set up for the
method call (String.toUpper()).
Nesting of loops and if statements should be kept to a
minimum - the conditional for each lookup of logical operator like
LT, GT are synchronized. Under load this results in thread waits.
Jrun has as single thread pool - both http and web service
requests use the same pool. Under load this leads to thread
deadlock. There are work arounds, but they are painful.
Recursion should be avoided - we had a few recursive routines
and these had to be rewritten.
Custom Tags - should be used sparingly - each custom tag
makes a synchronized call to the license server - (This may be
fixed in CF 8)
Summary
In the end we got the performance to reasonable numbers, but
we ended up moving some code to java (Custom Tags) and getting rid
of 'good programming' practices (Inheritance, loops, etc), mandated
proper variable scoping for those things left over. We prototyped a
sans cold fusion implementation and had an order of magnitude
improvement in performance and number of requests served per
second.
The lesson? Use Coldfusion in its sweet spot: make a query,
iterate over the results and format for display. Extensive use of
structure programming techniques or OO CFCs should be avoided: they
will work but under load - but are better as a prototype. Building
frameworks in CF? Think twice, no three times, and, if you must, be
minimalist.

interesting aslbert123,
Not that I doubt you, but could you answer some questions
about your implementation that was so slow:
1.) Did you put your CFCs in the application or server scope?
2.) Were you initializing your CFCs, via CreateObject or
<cfinvoke>, on every request?
3.) Are you sure that you were properly Var'ing every
variable in your methods? (people typically forget about query
names and loop iterator variables)
4.) Could you give examples of how your inheritence was set
up?
5.) For CustomTags, did you call them the old <cf_tag>
way or the newer, better-performing <cfimport> way?
6.) How did you connect CF to Java exactly?
Thanks,
Aaron

How to convert/download videos embedded with cold fusion?

Does anyone know of a free video conversion software that will convert and download online videos embedded with cold fusion ("cfmid=?") format/extension? I tried a few online sites and they do not support that format yet. Please help. Thank you so much!

Actually COLD FUSION was a hoax a few years ago. COLDFUSION is the app.
If you need content from a web site, talk to the developer.
fwiw - Since ColdFusion is an Adobe app, you should try asking your question on that forum. This one is here to primarily support Shake.
Have fun.

Xp pro config question with cold fusion(newbie)

Hello,
I'm a beginner and I want to learn studio mx 2004.In trying
to learn Macromedia MX for windows ,I've gone thru the installation
process in the manual for installing Cold Fusion for the server
side of things.My question is, I'm not sure if IIS is mnadatory in
order to use cold fusion.Is it a case of using one or the other or
is the IIS service required to run Cold Fusion? Also im using cold
fusion5 is cold fusion mx = to cold fusion 6.1?

Thanks for answering. Is there any benefits to running both
servers? I
don't want to confuse myself with too many
options.Essentially,I could
learn Dreamweaver (my ultimate goal) by using either
installation.
No, while it is possible to run multiple versions of CF, it
takes extra
configurations to do so. I would say this is unnecessary for
just
learning. I would strongly suggest upgrading. CF 5 is the
oldest and
most limited version of CF still officially supported by
Adobe. The
latest version is 7.0.2. There is a huge, major, complete
rewrite of CF
and many other bug fixes and enhancements between CF 5.x and
the current
version.
The current version and all versions of CF are free for
download from
Adobe for a personal development copy. If you do so now,
before you
start writing code, the upgrade install IIRC is quite
painless and will
use the configurations you have already chosen.

Flex/cold fusion wizard & Visual Query builder has a problem

has anybody tried the cold fusion / flex application wizard in flex 3?
to get there follow these menu choices:
file new other cold fusion wizards coldfusion / flex application wizard
I previously installed cf8 and the rds query viewer works fine.
i simply choose from the following menus:
window other views... Cold Fusion RDS dataview
i was initially prompted for the rds password which i entered.
in the RDS Dataview, I can see the tables, columns, and data for all my existing datasources.
Unfortunately, when I use the COld Fusion/Flex application wizard,
I get to the page layout and design screen, add a page with the name artists, choose page type master, and click the Edit master page button.
Nothing happens when I click the Edit Master Page button. I followed the cf/flex tutorial exactly but there is no query builder.
I dont know if this is related but in the RDS query viewer, the Visual Query BUilder doesn't work.
I think this may be the problem (the visual query builder has a problem)
Unfortunately, how do I fix this problem

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.
