ColdFusion 11 and Solr

I just installed ColdFusion 11. I am pretty sure I selected the option to install the addons like Solr, but when I am in the coldfusion administrator under Data & Services, I click ColdFusion Collections and I get nothing. It won't go to the page at all. If I click on Solr Services a page will come up. If I click on ColdFusion collections and then restart the coldfusion addons I get a page that comes up saying
"Unable to retrieve collections from the Search Services.Ensure that you have installed ColdFusion Search Service and it is running."
I am assuming it means it isn't installed.
So I went to Adobe - ColdFusion Support Center : More Downloads and downloaded/installed the Windows Add-on Services Standalone Installer. I didn't change any of the settings or folders and installed it. I restarted the server. I logged back into the coldfusion administrator and I see the same thing. Nothing changed. When I go to view the file folders I have c:coldfuion11 and a c:coldfusionAdd-onServices. Should the coldfusionAdd-onServices folder been within the coldfusion11 folder?
I read you can create your collection through the administrator or through coding a page. I thought maybe I need to try it this way. So I created a page to create the collection and it did not work either.
What am I missing? Did I miss a step or something to make this work?
Any help I can get, I would appreciate.
I have a windows 2008 server.

Here are just a few of the solr files for you to look at. They all appear to be SUCCESSFUL.

  • MS ACCESS, ColdFusion and Image Problems

    I have done this before using PHP and Mysql and it was pretty
    simple. I now need to do this in ColdFusion and MS Access 2003.
    I want to store logos in a database. After reading up on it,
    I found that you store images in Access using the OLE Object
    Datatype - done. Now the real fun part starts.
    I am trying now to display these logos from the MS Access
    2003 database onto a webpage using Coldfusion. I have looked into
    it, and one article suggested using the BLOB type - which is what
    you do in MySQL, but in MS Access that option is not available. So
    I looked into it somemore, and it seems that there are three
    functions that you need to use, and they are in Visual Basic -
    provided in part by Microsoft, but it seems EXTREMELY way too
    complicated for simply displaying an image staored in a Database.
    Has anyone been able to store and display images using MS
    Access and Coldfusion before? If so, could you guide me?

    The reason for storing the image in the database is that our
    company wants it that way for portability reasons. Filenames
    change, directories get lost when moving from one system to
    another. Databases are easier to backup and are more efficient when
    it comes to searching metadata. We have over 300 logos we must
    store for our different organizations - having a directory for each
    is complicated.
    Has anyone had issues like this with Coldfusion and MS
    Access? If so could you guide me?
    -Thanks

  • Slight roadblock in "DW 8 with ASP, ColdFusion, and PHP: Training from the Source"

    I'm working my way through Dreamweaver 8 with ASP,
    ColdFusion, and PHP:
    Training from the Source. I've come to the middle of Lesson 6
    and have hit
    my first obstacle in learning PHP. I'm following the
    instructions to format
    the output of the tour price calculator, but my issue is with
    where to place
    the following PHP code: <?php setlocale(LC_MONETARY,
    'en_US'); echo
    money_format('%i', $tourPrice); ?>
    I placed it before the DOCTYPE and when that didn't work, I
    tried inserting
    right before the code that retrieves the tour price (in the
    body of the
    page). That didn't work either.
    I also tried changing money_format to number_format and
    manually inserting
    the $, but when I tested everything, the output printed as
    follows:
    The estimated cost of your tour is

  • Coldfusion and sql server reports

    hi all,
    we wish to have a reporting tool that goes well with coldfusion. we wish to use sql server reporting with coldfusion. can anyone provide some examples for this. i have seen integration only for crystal reports and report builder. does it support sql server reporting too. please help......

    If I had ever used SQL Server reporting I would have said something...
    But you are embarking on an unusual task and unusual tasks are not usually done be lots of people.
    So how does SQL server reporting work?  What does it produce?  How do you want to tie into it?  What do you want to happen?
    With all the ways one can tie into other services through ColdFusion and its underlining Java, I suspect there might well be some way to do something.  Wether that something is good enough and|or simple enough to be worth the effort I can not say and will require a good amount of knowlege on how SQL server reporting actually works.

  • Building a best practice web application using ColdFusion and Jave EE

    I've been tasked with rewriting a software using ColdFusion.  I cannot seem to find a lot of information on best practice development in ColdFusion.  I am an experience Java developer who has never used ColdFusion before.  I want to build this application using a synergy of ColdFusion and Java EE technologies.  Can someone recommend me a book that outlines how to developer in ColdFusion?  Ideally this book assumes the reader is an experienced developer with no exposure to ColdFusion.  Ideally the methods outlined in the book are still "best practice" methods.

  • Coldfusion and Livecycle development

    Being a (intermediate) Coldfusion developer - addressing SQl and CF queries to an ODBC database (Access) and using Livecycle Designer ES for the first time (Acrobat 9 Pro)... I'm trying to plan the best way to fuse these programs together for a project I'm working on. I'm not fluent with Javascript but can somewhat 'backwards engineer' a script. Not being fluent in Javascript makes me a bit hesitant to even use Livecycle forms in the first place - I'm more used to doing all this with CF and SQL on an internet server...
    A couple of the main reasons I'd like to use Livecycle are - the ability to set up some of the forms to run client-side and using a security (ID) key for form submissions back to the server (as well as the capability to 'hash' the data back to the server with encryption). Security features within the PDF invironment are what attracts me to Livecycle forms as well as user interactivity in building the form client-side, as in expanding forms and fields or buttons being visible or hidden depending on the user's choice.
    Since Access (2007) can export a table's fields as an XML schema file (from what I've found, needing to re-save this file as an XSD file) for insertion in the Livecycle form - This makes it handy to set up the form to run client-side and not have to address the server-side database everytime a user choice is made on the form, before form submission back to the server.
    So... Providing that I don't have to become a JavaScript guru, the following is the 'meat' of this posting - a scenario in (wondering how to get) Livecycle, Coldfusion, SQL, XML and Access all working together:
    Livecycle forms set up with an XSD schema provided from Access (the schema within the saved form as a PDF Dynamic XML form) / On validated form completion by the user (client-side) the submit button, after user Key entered, submits to a Cold Fusion (hidden) action page on the server containing CF and/or SQL database insertions, updates, etc. that, after the queries run, 'bounces' the user to another client-side PDF.
    Would this scenario work? Am I thinking right on this in mixing Livecycle data with Coldfusion and SQL in this way?
    I'm not sure how a CF action page would deal with the data coming into it encrypted (maybe with setting variables) or if the CF action page retains the security set by the PDF page before it bounces the user back to his/her client-side Acrobat Reader... as well as running queries from a CF action page that pulls data from the database and sends back to the user's next PDF as encrypted data.
    Also, I'm not sure how the Access generated XML schema treats fields in the database that have a space in the field name, as in a field named "First Name". Some of my table fields are to be updated with an uploaded delimited text file coming from (admin permitted) users - my table fields Have to be set up in Access to match the user's field names. Field names that are merged together in the XML schema wouldn't match up when sent back to the database although I guess you could set variables for this as well on a CF action page.
    Should I just forget using Coldfusion and try to do this all through direct database insertion and form filling through the Livecycle PDF forms? (And purchase a JavaScript book to learn yet another language before deadline time?)
    In not knowing JavaSript, I'm having a bit of a mental block in learning Livecycle. I had hoped that the JavaScript would be written as you set up button properties, assigned on-click events, structered the subform heirarchy and so on and then, in Livecycle's scriptwriter assign an 'initialize' or 'click' and a function from the "fn" button (that only offers a few choices). I really need to know how to write Javascript myself, don't I? (This is probably obvious to all - "yes, dummy, you need to know how to write JavaScript for Livecycle.) I guess I'm missing something in the help files and tutorials... You can sure tell I'm self taught, huh...
    I would do this all with just CF anyhow with application files and session management with cookies and so on but with security concerns it seems PDFs can easily enough be set up in a pretty secure environment. The PDF security as well as client-side user interaction with dynamic PDFs are what attracts me to Livecycle PDFs. There's not too much of a learning curve for building Livecycle PDF forms except for having to learn JavaScript with a deadlined current project maybe being too much for me.
    Livecycle or Coldfusion or both programs together? Especially for the security concerns. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of info on CF and Livecycle running together - at Adobe or with googling - at least not on a novice or intermediate level.
    Anyone's thoughts or comments on this? I'll post this in the Coldfusion forum as well if y'all think it may benefit forum users there as well.
    Thanks for input on this...

  • Missing File - Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion, and PHP

    On page 263 of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion,
    and PHP by:Jeffrey Bardzel and Bob Flynn the file called
    countryDetailXML.asp is missing. How can I find that file? Any
    idea?
    Thanks for your help.

    @citaiz,
    That file is created earlier in the lesson in an exercise
    starting on page 257. For the sake of the lesson, you can use
    countryDetail.xml that is included in the lesson 09 start folder.
    It is not important for this lesson that the XML is a static file
    or one generated in real time from the database. The version of
    Spry (1.4) that shipped with DW CS3 used XML data only. The current
    version (1.6.1) can use JSON and HTML tables for the data source as
    well. You can get the latest version of Spry for free at
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/,
    including an extension to update your copy of DW to the latest
    version.

  • Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP coldfusion and PHP search?

    I am working through Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP
    coldfusion and PHP with the intent of creating a data base site
    that primarily requires a search engine on the index page. The
    search page in the book uses specific search criteria ensuring that
    there will always be a match to the data base but I need to create
    an input text field search engine. My Q, if there is no data within
    the data base that match the variable, will it return with an error
    requiring an argument in the code to respond to no matching data.
    Hopefully there are comprehensive online recourses for these search
    engines as they are so common. I am a complete newby to all aspects
    of web development and code so it will need to be a thorough
    explanation, an idiots guide. ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED

    Rob,
    Let me try to answer your questions, understanding that my
    answers are laced with my experience and therefore my bias.
    1. For the most part the SQL that you write for Access, MS
    SQL or MySQL is going to be the same. I won't make that claim about
    Oracle or PostgreSQL because I have limited or no experience in
    those areas. To be sure when you head down the road with any DBMS
    there are finer points on 'value added' features (to over simplify
    things like MS SQL's Transact SQL), but for the most part when you
    are pulling out, inserting or deleting records the SQL that you
    write will be the same. In fact, I don't think I had to make any of
    the SQL in the book different to deal with the back end db.
    2. As for your host steering you away from MySQL, I don't
    know why that would be. It is MUCH more stable and robust than
    Access for web development. My research showed that you can use
    MySQL just fine with ASP though that clearly wouldn't be
    Microsoft's first choice.
    3. A quick aside, the fact that you are building ASP on a Mac
    would seem to indicate that you are developing on your production
    server. That's never a good idea. Go local if you can. If you have
    a newer Intel Mac you can use VM Fusion, Parallels or even Boot
    Camp to run Windows in a virtual environment and develop there,
    only moving your code to production when you are happy with it.
    There is of course the fact that they two environments would not be
    identical and you may need to change a few references, but it is
    still a better practice than developing on your live site. Some web
    hosts give you the ability to set up a subdomain. If yours does,
    you could set one up with a duplicate of your site and develop
    there.
    4. Let me try to pull your 'rant-let' apart into two issue. I
    begin with a question. I'm not sure what the Mac part has to do
    with it. The primary language I work in at my day job is
    ColdFusion. The majority of the most serious developers I know in
    the CF world work on Macs. I am forced into the PC world because of
    a cultural bias at the business school where I work. Having said
    that, the only time I have felt there was ANY difference in the
    tools, resources, choices I had was in any way affected by platform
    was when Adobe still had not released Flex Builder 2 for the Mac.
    Now that is behind us as well. This reaction of mine may be based
    on the fact that Access never comes into play in the work that I
    do. I regularly work with MS SQL and MySQL. (OK, so SQL Enterprise
    Manager, the MS tool of choice to talk to MS SQL is Windows only,
    but I only use that at the day job. But even there you can find
    cross-platform, free tools like Aqua Data Studio to talk from a Mac
    to MS SQL.) If I'm missing your point on the Mac, please let me
    know. Since the advent of the Intel Mac I think it is hands-down
    the best choice for a web developer. You can have Mac, Windows and
    Unix all on one machine. It doesn't get any better (providing you
    have the RAM :-)).
    As for the security question, it is somewhat analogous to the
    war on viruses and spyware. As the defenses get better, so do the
    attacks. Most languages have developed functions for vetting user
    input variables and best practices for building these things. It is
    mainly a user education issue. When I took over the book you are
    working out of, the one thing Jeffrey told me it needed was more
    security. I did my best to put more in under the constraints of the
    publisher. They didn't want the book to be any longer than the
    previous version. I did my best to modify the code used to include
    "string safe" functions and to add verbiage about the importance of
    security. It was clear that I could not add as much as was needed
    and I said so in the book. Much more is needed for a serious
    treatment of the subject and not acknowledging that would have been
    a disservice to the readers. I've been working as a developer for
    over a decade and I don't know all there is to know about it. It's
    a constantly changing field, just like all of web development. In
    fact next week I'm going through a 2-day SANS Web Application
    Security workshop in hopes of learning more. So at the risk of
    sounding like an industry apologist, I don't think it's a
    shortcoming of the development community. It is, as they say, "a
    developing situation".
    HTH,
    Bob

  • Will BC eventually include Coldfusion and/or Flex?

    My understanding is that BC web sites are .NET based. Will BC sites eventually include Coldfusion and/or Flex servers?
    Having spent many hours learning and building rich Internet applications using Coldfusion and Flex, hard to believe an Adobe-hosted web site system (BC) would be solely .NET based.

    Hi Ahande2!
    Unfortunately not in the near future and at this stage. 
    The BC Sytstem is a SAAS (Software as a Service) and this system is a .net based system.
    You have NO access to server side code so you can not run any PHP, Java, Coldfusion, .net code on your sites.
    If you need any custom functionality etc you can use the ever expanding API of the system.

    If I had ever used SQL Server reporting I would have said something...
    But you are embarking on an unusual task and unusual tasks are not usually done be lots of people.
    So how does SQL server reporting work?  What does it produce?  How do you want to tie into it?  What do you want to happen?
    With all the ways one can tie into other services through ColdFusion and its underlining Java, I suspect there might well be some way to do something.  Wether that something is good enough and|or simple enough to be worth the effort I can not say and will require a good amount of knowlege on how SQL server reporting actually works.

  • ColdFusion and The Future

    Admittedly, I've been a bit out of touch ... however I was
    wondering what the future of ColdFusion is regarding Adobe... have
    they made any announcements about the future of ColdFusion? How
    will it compete with formats such as PHP/mySQL in the future? Being
    a long time fan of Cold fusion, I'm curious about this.

    >> 2. Image manipulation functionality -- provides both
    high-level tag
    based abstractions for common tasks like resizing, cropping,
    and
    format conversions
    That so slack how CF still doesn't have this functionality
    already - lets
    hope its not too late to make a difference. Nice feature
    though, sounds like
    it may be quite sophisticated.
    All in all though, based on what has been revealed here, it
    doesn't sound
    like much of an update - would still like to see some higher
    level
    framwework stuff, or maybe even a ColdFusion IDE (Heck, how
    can they sell
    this product at this price and not even offer an IDE for it?)
    Lets hope the future reveals something a little more exciting
    than what was
    mentioned here.

  • CF9 and SOLR indexing

    We are using CF9 64-bit and setting up a SOLR collection for an HR application. The database contains several million records and includes resumes that we want to do full text searches on.
    We started out by using cfindex to create the index but it would bomb out after just a few thousand records with an error about "warming threads" (I don't have the exact error handy but can get it later) and the indexing would have to be manually restarted. This wasn't a good solution for a multi-million record operation..
    Next, we created a custom Data Import Handler (DIH) outside of CF using the instructions in the SOLR wiki. This index worked great and was very fast. However, the ColdFusion tags (cfsearch, etc.) would not work with this index. We even made sure to duplicate the required nodes (<custom1> <custom2>, etc.) that the cfindex tag would have created. Still cannot search that index.
    We'd really rather not reinvent the wheel and have to write custom search code. Obviously, we like using CF and it would be great if we can use the built-in indexing and searching capability.
    Any ideas on how we can either 1) make the <cfindex> work without stopping OR 2) go ahead and use the custom DIH and be able to make the <cfsearch> work properly?
    Dana

    I only have just over 500 records that I am trying to index, which they do consist of some large documents, and I try to loop through using the cfindex and I also get this error:
    Error_opening_new_searcher_exceeded_limit_of_maxWarmingSearchers4_try_again_later
    I found that if I put this in my loop
    <cfscript>
        thread = CreateObject("java", "java.lang.Thread");
        thread.sleep(1000);
    </cfscript>
    then I no longer have the error, but it does take a long long time to index.  I also would like a better solution.
    The coldfusion debugger shows that it is erroring out on the custom4 field.  I don't know if the custom fields are struggling more than the main body field.  Anyway, I am continuing to research my options.

  • Database connection encryption and integrity with ColdFusion and Oracle thin client

    As ColdFusion datasource we are using the Oracle thin client to  connect with the database. So, basically we are using a JDBC URL such as  jdbc:oracle:thin:@... and as Driver Class oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver. This works successfully however we would like to set encryption and  integrity parameters as well. In Java this is done similarly by setting a  Properties object prior to getting a connection as follows:
    Properties prop = new Properties();
    prop.put("oracle.net.encryption_client", "REQUIRED");
    prop.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "( DES40 )");
    prop.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client", "REQUESTED");
    prop.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client", "( MD5 )");
    OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
    ods.setProperties(prop);
    ods.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:main");
    Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
    Is there a way that I can pass these parameters to the ColdFusion  datasource. Ideally, I would love to do this centrally in such way that a  change to all the cfquery or cfstoredproc is not needed.
    I also know that in application servers such as Oracle AS there is an  option when creating a datasource which says "Add Properties". In there  you can add such properties. So, I was thinking of maybe creating a  JNDI DS in the app. server and then magically connecting to it but this  may have some impacts on the app.
    Besides this I was also thinking of communicating with the CF  datasource through the CF admin API (cfide.adminapi.administrator) and  also the option of extending the Oracle driver so that when CF connects  with it these params are already set.
    I would love to have your professional opinion and suggestions on this.

    I believe the thin driver actually needs the IP address (not the DNS name). Also, is "java" the name of the Oracle instance to which you are trying to connect?
    Try the following:String driver = "jdbc:oracle:thin";
    String dbIP = "W2RZ1NXG01's IP address";
    String dbPort = "1530";
    String dbSid = "java";
    String dbUser = "Admin";
    String dbPswd = "apassword";
    String cnctStr = driver + ":@" + dbIP + ":" + port + ":" + dbSid;
    try
        Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
        con = DriverManager.getConnection( cnctStr, dbUser, dbPswd );
        stmt = con.createStatement();
        stmt.executeUpdate(createString);
        stmt.close();
        con.close();
    catch(SQLException ex)
        System.err.println( "The following SQLException occurred: " + ex );
        System.err.println( "Message: " + ex.getMessage() );

  • ColdFusion and Windows 8

    So I just purchased my entire team of developers windows 8 machines, and I have found that CF does not install on Windows 8. How is it possible that Adobe does not have a Windows 8 release yet? I have been an avid CF supporter for over a decade but this could be the last straw. Does anyone know of any possible workarounds for this issue? I am in a bind here so any help will be greatly appreciated.

    The official word from the ColdFusion team is that we will have to wait till December 2012 at the earliest for Coldfusion 10 support of Windows 8. Terrible news for us developers, that goes without saying.
    However, what surprises me is the number of developers unprepared for this delay. You could have guessed it from developments in recent months. Some of the milestones in the timeline for the release of ColdFusion 10 matched the timescales for milestones in the Windows 8 release. To illustrate, I have copied the following titbits from the respective Wikipedia stories:
    ColdFusion 10 release
    For much of 2010, ColdFusion Product Manager Adam Lehman toured the US setting up countless meetings with customers, developers, and user groups to formulate a master blueprint for the next feature set. In September 2010, he presented the plans to Adobe where they were given full support and approval by upper management. The first public beta of ColdFusion 10 was released via Adobe Labs on 17 February 2012. ColdFusion version 10 was released on May 15, 2012.
    Windows 8 release
    Development of Windows 8 started before the release of its predecessor in 2009. Its existence was first announced at CES 2011, and followed by the release of three pre-release versions from September 2011 to May 2012. The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012. On August 15, 2012, Windows 8 was made available to download for MSDN and TechNet subscribers. Windows 8 was made available to Software Assurance customers on August 16, 2012. The operating system was released for general availability on October 26, 2012.
    One could argue, from the statements I have italicized, that Windows 8 was actually released later than ColdFusion 10! That puts the delay in perspective.
