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
working..

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 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.

Installing Cold Fusion MX Developer on XP Pro

My Cold Fusion developer version that came with Studio MX
(original MX) is not installing correctly and/or my CF

version from the trial site or is there something else I need to
do?? My new computer is WinXP Pro, sp2 etc....

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:

You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.

Cold Fusion Mac Compat?

Can you run the latest Cold Fusion version in association

Scooter,
I use a Macbook Pro (OS X 10.4.9) and run CFMX 7.0.2 (on top
of JRun 4 and NOT as a standalone web server) with no issues. I
also have CS 2.3 Premium on my machine. I will be getting CS3 in

Running Autodesk Inventor using Fusion or Parallel on Intel Mac

I need to be able to run Autodesk Inventor and DO NOT want to purchase a PC to do it. If I use VMware Fusion or Parallel on an Intel Mac will it operate without any glitches. Our tech guy said that the keyboard shortcuts are not going to be the same, is that true and are there any other issues I will come up against (i.e. system speed, ram, video card etc.)

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
your signature says that you are using PPC-Macs (Power Mac; Powerbook).
Parallels and Fusion only work on Intel-Macs.
Same for BootCamp.
So, if your sig is still uptodate, you are out of luck.
Your tech guy might refer to the fact, that Apples keyboards have a slightly different layout than the usual PC keyboard.
See here for a comparison: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304270
On Intel-Macs some guys round here and in the BootCamp Forum have reported success in running Autodesk software on their Intel-Macs.
Please do a search for these threads.

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 can I tell if I have the right restore disks for Intel Mac Mini

I have an "early 2006" (confirmed by S/N YM609***) Intel Mac Mini 1.66mhz Core Duo. I bought it used and the hard drive had been wiped. Both the HD and the DVD drive seem to work fine; hard drive passes SMART tests. I was able to boot using "Drive Genius" and can access the pre-install items like Disk Utility (and know that I need to use GUID formatting to create a bootable disk). Not knowing I could order restore disks from Apple I bought a set on eBay, p/n AHT VERSION 3A102 DISC VERSION 1.1 2Z691-5828-A, copyright 2006 on disks and included documentation (OS 10.4.6), but the install always fails 10-15 minutes along. I got the same results when trying to install via internal optical drive to a FW or USB external HD (told it to use GUID for the external HD), or external FW optical drive both to internal HD and to external USB hard drive. A friend tried to install full retail versions of 10.5 and even 10.6 for diagnostic purposes, using the built in HD and DVD drives, but those installs did not complete either; they did not try external drives. Is that the wrong restore version for this model, or even if the right "generation", does a set of restore disks only work with the specific Mac mini they were issued for like for example XP restore disks would? I've been told I can provide my s/n to Apple and for about $30 they will send me the "right" restore disks... anyone know anything about this? Could there be a hardware/firmware explanation for why the install fails like that? PS ran the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test with that restore disk set and it reported "no problems."
<Edited by Host>

Thanks. Actually I got the Mini from a computer recycling company I work with so I knew it might have problems and that I was taking an "as-is" risk. If the original disks were turned in with it, they'd been lost (that outfit took in huge piles of stuff every day; it was often luck of the draw for me to find something before it would be buried, damaged, etc., and not everyone who worked there had any idea of the possible value of things they received) for me to find things. The disks I got on eBay apparently were separated from the mini they'd been packaged for. An Apple Store rep said I could order restore direct from Apple just by providing my serial number; just wish I'd known that before I went to eBay. Since posting this I've seen another seller specifically claiming that the same-part-numbered-as-mine disc set they are selling will work with my specific type of Mac mini. I have an appointment tomorrow morning at the Genius Bar at an Apple store near me in case they have more suggestions. Will share what I know as things develop.

Intel Mac Mini Core Solo - Kernel Panic on Boot

I was wondering if anyone who has purchased the Intel Mac Mini is having issues with Kernel Panics during the booting sequence?
I got a Core Solo from the local Apple store (couldn't wait to play, I'm waiting on the Core Duo I ordered online to come still ). The first thing I did was fire it up check it out for a few minutes, then I put the install disc in and reinstalled a clean OS, with less options because I'm planning on hooking it up to my TV so I don't need space hogs like Garageband etc on my TV computer. I got the updates that popped up, then shutdown the computer. I took it out to the living room and hooked it up to the tv and I got a black message about needing to restart (a kernel panic) right when the blue progress loading bar comes up on boot. I spent a while with it trying to figure out what was wrong, ran the Apple Hardware Test, booted it fine in Safe Boot. Finally I got tired of it and reinstalled the OS again.
It was fine for a day, working fine out on the tv. I brought it back in my room to play with a few things like Darwine, etc. Shut it down, came back an hour or so later booted it up and got the kernel panic on boot. Safe boot still worked fine. I spent some time trying to look for panic logs but didn't see any. I ran the disk utility and did a Full erase and it worked fine. I reinstalled the OS again. Ran MemTestOSX and it worked fine. I left it running the Apple Hardware Test for about 6 hours or more, and it performed perfectly.
This morning it still seemed ok, except sometimes on a cold boot when the blue progress bar screen should come on... my monitor just shows black and the light on the monitor goes inactive. So, I press the button on the back to sleep it, then bring it out of sleep with the keyboard and the OS is sitting there booted.
It seems like a weird combination of software and hardware problems, but maybe it's all hardware problems. I can't get past Safe Boot working when the OS stops loading. Right now the computer is working fine.
I'm waiting for my Core Duo to come in the mail and verify that it works flawlessly, then I'll take the Solo to the store and ask them to look at it.
Anyone have any similar experiences so far?

It seems like the mini is doing alright so far. I think maybe the full erase solved whatever issue it was having. I also got my Core Duo Mini yesterday in the mail and it's performing like a champ. Definitely a nice machine.
I'll close my question for now, since the Core Solo Mini seems alright. But, as a warning don't get on Front Row's bad side. I tried force quitting it because it was taking too long to load the videos folder and then tried shutting down from a terminal and ended up having to turn the machine off.

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!
Judy

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.

NikonScan v4 and Intel Mac

I'm looking for people that can verify if NikonScan version 4, a Nikon Scanner, and an Intel Mac can play nice together.
Nikon says Intel Core Duo Macs are unsupported. What about the Core Solo? It's not mentioned. That doesn't mean it won't work on an Intel Duo or Solo and I'm just looking for verification either way from people that have actually tried it.
Nikon's Official Answer-
http://support.nikontech.com/cgi-bin/nikonusa.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=13865&pcreated=1139239488
Currently Nikon products and software applications are not supported on Macintosh computers powered by the Intel Core Duo processor. Compatibility and support for Nikon products and software with Macintosh computers powered by the Intel Core Duo processor is currently under review by the Nikon Quality department. At this time we do not have any time-tables regarding when we will or if we will issue drivers and software support for this new system. Rest assured that Nikon will make every effort to support all the latest technologies developed by Apple and Microsoft. Keep checking our Knowledge Database system for updates regarding this issue over the upcoming months.
Someone in another Apple thread claims he uses NikonScan v3.0 on an Intel Mac. ->
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=331630
Here's a link to download NikonScan version 4.0 ->
http://www.nikonusa.com/software/qw400/NS4.sit
THANK-YOU!
(2) B & W G3/500 & Gigabit G4/1.6 Ghz Dual Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I answered this one myself.
Yes, a Nikon LS-5000ED scanner with the USB 2.0 interface works with an Intel Duo Core 1.66 Ghz Mac Mini - 512 MB RAM.
Using the latest NikonScan 4.02 software and OS X.4.6 with all the updates.
No problems yet.
Hopefully the Universal Binary version of NikonScan will be available soon as I think it could run faster. Especially after Apple stops making the PPC models later this year.

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.
