Coldfusion compatibality issue

hi all,
i am very new to Coldfusion technical side,
i used to visit a site, which claimed to have built using coldfusion. since i upgraded my Internet Explorer to IE 7, the page is not able to be opened. I dont get any error notifications but when browse for that page even after about 1hour no contents are displayed.
Is there any thing that has to be done from my side like install any plugin or do some configuration in IE 7.

No, there are no browser plugins required to run ColdFusion websites.
If you're not a ColdFusion developer then to be honest you're unlikely to be able to fix the problem, and will need to look at getting someone to upgrade your site. Bear in mind IE7 isn't exactly new, does it work in IE9?
Respect for waiting an hour though, I would probably have given up before that.

ColdFusion startup issue

About a month ago, I upgraded my webserver to ColdFusion
MX7.0.1. I
have also upgraded my development and test server as well.
My test and development servers work fine, and have no issues
at
all. The production server has a major issue though. When
recovering from a restart, CF appears to be running (jrun.exe
is
running, and all services are running), but when making a
call to any
CF page a "500 null" error or "server error 500" is returned.
I found that through a series of restarts, cfstops, cfstarts,
and the
stars being in the proper alignment, I can get CF running.
When using cfstart on my developement or test server, I see
several
lines go by, and then it waits. When running it on my
production
server, I receive about 3000 lines of Java exceptions. All
the
exceptions occur after "ColdFusionStartUpServlet: ColdFusion
MX: VM
version = 1.4.2_05-b04"
Has anyone else had an issue like this? I am at the point
where I
need to get this resolved ASAP, and my next step is to
uninstall and
reinstall CF, unless someone here has any suggestsions.
Any help is appreciated.

Here are the first 150 lines (out of 3164 lines)

Coldfusion memory issue

Hi,
One of our Public web site is developed in ColdFusion. This runs on a server having OS Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with 4 CPUS and 4 GB RAM.
The issue is that, after every couple of hours, the Coldfusion Jrun processer memory utilization reaches 1 GB on this server and the response of the website
becomes very slow and it goes down. As a temporary fix, we are getting the Coldfusion services restarted to resolve this issue.
Server product : ColdFusion
Version : 8,0,1,195765
Operating System : Windows server 2003 R2 Standard Edition Service pack 2
Java : 1.6.0_13
We are now planning to go for an OS upgrade from Windows 2003 Standard edition to Windows 2003 Enterprise edition.
Also planning to increase number of CPUs from 4 to 8 and to increase RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB.
Can someone please advise whether after the upgrade and increase in RAM and CPUs, can Coldfusion Jrun processer use the additional memory or not?
Thanks!
Siva

It's possible some JVM tuning may be in order. This can be a very complex process. If this is something you aren't comfortable doing yourself, there are a few consultants who could assist for a fee (Charlie Arehart and Mike Brunt are two that come to mind).
Upgrading the Windows version and adding memory will only help up to a point if you are running a 32-bit version of your operating system, as the 32-bit version of Java can typically only utilize up to about 1.8 GB of memory. If you really want to give ColdFusion more memory, you should consider using a 64-bit operating system and the 64-bit version of Java. I'm not sure if you can run ColdFusion on 64-bit though, so make sure that your edition of ColdFusion is supported on 64-bit operating systems (I know ColdFusion 9 Standard and Enterprise are, but I'm not sure about ColdFusion 8).

Coldfusion certificate issue

I have a working site and I am in the process of creating a
backup site.
My backup site domain anem is backupcompany.com where as I
bought the SSL for company.com. The coldfusion works fine for
couple of screens but it does not work for CFGRID, when I see the
view source i can see data, but the control comes with an error
messgae
load: class coldfusion.applets.CFGridApplet.class not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
coldfusion.applets.CFGridApplet.class
AND
Caused by: java.io.IOException: open HTTP connection failed.
Need Help

Are you forcing SSL on your servers but having your code call
with only HTTP? Maybe? Are your CF servers behind any SSL
accelerators?

ColdFusion memory issues

Our production server has 2G of memory installed, however we
can't allocate more than about 1280m to the ColdFusion process.
Here is our java.args value:
java.args=-server -DJINTEGRA_NATIVE_MODE
-DJINTEGRA_PREFETCH_ENUMS -XX:+ForceTimeHighResolution -Xmx1280m
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false

-Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC
-Dcoldfusion.classPath={application.home}/../../classes,{application.home}/../lib/updates ,{application.home}/../lib/,{application.home}/../gateway/lib/,{application.home}/../wwwro ot/WEB-INF/cfform/jars,D:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\CustomTags\\common\\CFX
Whenever I try to bump up the Xmx value, the service won't
start. Is there a limit as to what we can allocate to the JVM?
Environment:
Win2K
CF7 fully patched
JVM 1.4.2_15
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Whenever I try to bump up the Xmx value, the service won't
start. Is
there a limit as to what we can allocate to the JVM?
Yes, the limit is the 32bit windows operating system. To make
use of
more one needs to use 64bit operating systems. There are many
blogs and
other information I have read the spells out the specifics on
gory detail.

Coldfusion Character Issue

I'm running Coldfusion MX 6.1 on a Redhat Linux v 7.3 server
and have a regular cron job that restarts coldfusion.
The server uses the character set called: en_GB.UTF-8
However, it seems that every time that coldfusion restarts
(via the cron job) it seems to change back to a setting of en_US
which then looses all of my extended character settings. When you
restart coldfusion manually however, this does not occur and the
character set is using the correct en_GB.UTF-8 set.
Anyone have any ideas? I think its more something to do with
the linux setup but I'm at a lose as to what to check...

Install windows server language pack: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12250
Are you sure the Chinese is encoded in UTF-8? (It should be, but you should check the database field type encoding.) If it's simplified chinese it could be set to GB18030 and if it's traditional chinese it could be Big5.
You might want to leave off the encoding directive in CF and load the page in a browser then change encodings using tools > encodings to see what works.

Installed Lion, any known compatibity issue with Adobe CS4

So far so good, everything seems OK but was concerned with Photoshop CS4 as I had heard maybe some issues, anyone had any good/bad experiences?

it appears as though their may be some issues. Read what Adobe has to say :http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/07/photoshop-and-lightroom-compatibility- with-mac-os-x-10-7-lion.html Hope this helps

ColdFusion Remoting Issue

I'm trying to use the following code in a CFFORM.flash. The
remoting call returns nothing. When I mess up the name of the cfc I
do get a flash error so I'm assuming that the call is getting in
but is not able to return. I have another function in the same
component, set up the same way, that returns the data just fine.
Can anyone see where this code is wrong? Thanks.
cfsavecontent variable="GetData">
//create connection. Should be installed by default with
CFMX7 with correct path
var connection:mx.remoting.Connection =
mx.remoting.NetServices.createGatewayConnection("
http://#cgi.HTTP_HOST#/flashservices/gateway/");
//declare service
var myService:mx.remoting.NetServiceProxy;
//put the controls in scope to avoid calling _root
var testtext = testtext;
//make an object that will handle the response
var responseHandler = {};
//function that receives the response
responseHandler.onResult = function( results: Object ):Void
//when results are back, we show the text received
testtext.text = results;
//function that receives any error that may have occurred
during the call
responseHandler.onStatus = function( stat: Object ):Void {
//if there is any error, show an alert
alert("Error while calling cfc:" + stat.description);
//get service. First parameter is path to component and
//the second it's the object that will handle the response
myService =
connection.getService("empbldrv.CFC.flashResponder",
responseHandler );
//make call
myService.GetData();
</cfsavecontent>
Here's the cfc:
<cffunction name="GetData" output="true" access="remote"
returntype="string">
<cfset q_getData='true'>
<cfreturn q_GetData>
</cffunction>
Here's the form:

enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<cfinput type="button" name="button" value="Click Here!"
onclick="#GetData#">
<cfinput type="text" name="testtext" width="150">

I am not sure if this helps but don't you need a cfcomponent
tag in your
cfc?

Coldfusion / Javascript Issue

This probably is not the most appropriate place to post this,
but I am sure that people that frequent these forums have run into
this:
i am making an edit form. the form will allow users to update
a record in teh database.
--here are parts of the code i ahve --
I have the following javascript:
<cfoutput query="qryGetEvent">
<script language="javascript">
function setTeam()
ddlTeam = document.GetElementByID("cboTeam")
ddlTeam.value = "#qryGetEvent.team#"
</script>
</cfoutput>
<body onload="setTeam()">
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post"
action="ac_editevent.cfm">
<select id="cboTeam" name="cboTeam">
<cfloop query="qryGetTeams">
<option value="#id#">#team#</option>
</cfloop>
</select>

<select id="cboTeam" name="cboTeam">
<option value="6">Varsity</option>
<option value="7">Modified</option>
<option value="8">Masters</option>
<option value="9">All Teams</option>
<option value="10">Novice</option>
<option value="11">Varsity/Novice</option>
<option value="12">Select Teams</option>
</select>

</form>
</body>
should this work?? i have used both getElementsByName,
getElementByName, getElementsByID, getElementByID.
Basically I am trying to default the cboTeam to a value when
the page loads.
hope this post makes sense..
thanks for any assistance
sb

1) wrong javascript. can't control a select element with that
code
2) why use javascript?:
<select id="cboTeam" name="cboTeam">
<cfoutput query="qryGetTeams">
<option value="#qryGetTeams.id#" <cfif qryGetTeams.id
eq
qryGetEvent.team>selected</cfif>>#qryGetTeams.team#</option>
</cfoutput>
</select>
note: i changed your cfloop to cfoutput since i did not see a
cfoutput
your cfloop was in...

Some structured criticism about compatibilty issues between CS versions

Every few months I hear a financial report how adobe isn't meeting sales and nobody seems to know why. The answer is right here in front of you.
I love Adobe products but your company just makes it hard to do business with.
I have purchased Adobe CS2 Design, Adobe CS3 Web, Adobe CS4 Production but you just make it financially and structurally impossible to continue upgrading. The price structure and development just doesn't add up.
CS2 dosen't support Vista, so I had to upgrade.
CS3 was a nightmare installing on both windows and Macs with Leopad with the activation software
CS4 was also a nightmare installing, and your tech support told me to buy a new computer, when it was all the new extra items.
Then I start looking into CS5.
After Effects adds an awesome Roto brush tool, but doesn't work with CS4 premier.
InDesign CS5 dosen't work with any previous version, so I can't get it becasue you can't swap files with agencies that don't have the upgrade.
Flash CS5 adds some nice enhancements, everyhting else remains basically the same --- but is it worth the package upgrade???
So your only choice is to buy Master collection at $900 every 1.25 years, per license and hope your creative agencies, printer and other stakeholders also upgrade. And you also have to hope your finance department is generous with you budget?
You also structure the price to upgrade at the same cost between single versions as you do 3 versions back.
Need to look at your price structure and workflow compatibality issues, then perhaps the stock price will jump and sales will pick up.
Anybody else agree with me???

See Bob, that's just the wrong attitude. The stock is doing fine so who cares if the customer is upgrading or happy.
Last I checked I was a customer and a professional, and basically your telling me that Adobe dosen't need your continued business.
Next time your dealing with a customer, why don't you try that line on them.
It's also just hard to tell a creative agency I started something in CS5 and well you'll have to upgrade all your software. Don't worry it's just a cup of coffee.
Most Adobe customers are small to medium size businesses, with a couple of licensces struggling to make ends meet.
Last I checked, it's called a workflow issue.
and by the way most companies are selling at 52 week highs, it's called a rebound from a depressed stock market.
Like I said it's just hard to do business with Adobe.

MS word templates free text referenced gets cut

Hello Experts,
CRM 5.0
We have a scenario where we have implemented a custom BADI to add attributes in the list of fields that can be pulled into MS word templates from an order object in CRM. Some of the free text areas are also being referenced in the MS word templates. However only the first 128 characters from the free text area get pulled into the MS word template. The BADI does not seem to put this limit as in debugging, we can see all the text being referenced but on the front end only 128 characters flow through. Can someone please suggest a solution around this?
Thanks & regards

It is a character encoding issue. This is a big topic, but
there is
plenty written up about it. You probably want to configure
your
application use use window-1252 or unicode encoding format.
You will
want to make sure the entire system running the application
is talking
the same encoding, database web server and ColdFusion.

Font for photo info does not work on this MAC

We are running a new MAC (OS 10.6.2, 2.66 GHz Quad) with Lightroom 2.6. When I try to add photo data to a contact print, I see a series of boxes with AAAs. I got the same result with the Identy Plate when I changed the font. I changed to another font and it was fine. This leads me to believe the default font for photo info is not supported on this machine. We really need to use the photo info feature. Is there a way to either
1. Change the font to one that is supported on this machine
2. Add the default font to this machine

Considering the hundreds of thousands of Windows apps available, I doubt you're going to find such a list.
Is there a comprehensive list posted somewhere that show which PC software has compatibity issues?
Well since Windows software does not run on Mac OS, every application is going to have compatibility issues.
You'll either have to buy the Mac version (if available) of the software you want to use, or install Windows on the Mac.

Date formatting in MX7

Hello, I am trying to upgrade my applications from v4.5 to MX
7. The application seems to have issues with handling date fields.
The dates are saved in the database correctly, however, when the
app pulls it from the database, displays it with timestamp symbols
like '{ts' 10-23-2007 00:00:00'}' instead of just saying
10-23-2007. As per one of the members' advise, I checked the option
that says 'display date as string' on the advanced ODBC settings
for the data source in ColdFusion Administrator. Still doesn't make
a difference. Any help please? Thanks, Jay.

The code on the front-end could be updated to use the
dateFormat() function.
Alternatively, you could update the queries to format the
date.
I'm guessing that this is more of a database driver issue,
than a ColdFusion version issue. As part of your upgrade to CFMX 7,
you're likely using different database drivers as well. It's
possible that the old database drivers were formatting and
truncating these date values for you. So the front-end code could
be "lazy" and no worry about formatting.
Really the best fix here is going to be updating the
front-end to format the date values as it bests sees fit. (assuming
some of my above assumptions are correct)
Best of luck.

Why oh why won't AE CS5 run under XP Pro 64 bit?

Francly, i'm getting fed up of this stupid CG world we live in where users have to juggle and zig zag in between the permanent idiotic capitalistic software development battles going on way above our heads for teh sake of profit.
I have a little pipeline of 20 machines, couple of servers, couple of workstations and a bunch of render nodes. 80% which were set up with Vista (Pro Ultimatte and Business) had to be downgraded to XP Pro 64 for compatibity issues with some of the tools i was using, plug ins for 3ds max and AE mostly. believe it or not, downgrading from this piece of crap Vista did cost me money! ...and now that it is all finally running properly... the one tool i use for compositing in my pipeline that is AT LAST (and the last tool of its kind!!!!) 64 bit native.... WILL NOT RUN UNDER XP 64!!!! Which means that just because for reasons i absolutely ignore Adobe is forcing me to upgrade all operating systems on my network in order to finally benefit of what AE should have been able to do already for at least over a year! Wow! great marketting plan!
So i'm asking two questions here... and excuse my lack of formality....
1 - ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME?????!!!!
2 - What are my options if i want to upgrade to AE and Premiere cs5 in order to finally make a full use of those within the 64 bit pipeline (that all my other tools are already set up for ...for years!!!!) without having to spend s#itloads extra in operating systems and other consequent upgrades? Cause as much as i'm willing to go with the flow... i'm just fed up with wasting my money over political decisions ADOBE, AUTODESK, MICROSOFT and more are making just to squeeze a little more each time.
pe@ce,

Obviously you did not really read my post, so i'm gonna make it more clear.
I was forced to downgrade to XP pro 64 bit in order to follow what you call "progress", in order to use new tools, new releases, new possibilities, such a Nvidia PhysX related tools which would not run under Vista 64 at that time.
Now instead of shooting in my legs and make me look like i belong to the prehistoric times, try to answer my question honestly and properly since you bother doing so. Not developping CS5 for XP 64 is either an agreement made with Microsoft, or a way to cut down costs on a development that was already a big fat money pit since it took ages to finally come up with a 64 bit version Premiere and AE, after YEARS of existence of 64 bit systems. You can try to make me look as dumb and bad as you want... but those are facts that don't make Adobe's purpose and motives look very neat.
Now to read from a "community professional" that what i thought was my legitimate request as a commercial user and active member of the industry is basically irrelevant because "it's all my own fault"... wow!
Now i don't have access to the same information you have it seems, but look at the amount of users who are still working in the caves like me running Win XP 64 for similar reasons and tell me if it is a considerate choice from Adobe to neglect them. As most professional in this business, i like to be informed and NOT FORCED! Seems fairly decent to expect from Adobe to be notified earlier... much earlier than on the release date of the upgrade that my set up will be obsolete!
And for the very same reasons i did not renew my Autodesk subscriptions... i shall not upgrade to CS5 and will look an other way to find a cheaper more "personal/people" oriented solution, one where the support will not slap in my face "it's you own fault" like ADSK and Adobe do when you tickle relevant topics.
Conclusion, i don't like it... and i don't feel i've put myself in this pinch, but thanks for your answer Mylenium, i'm one step closer to invest in The Foundry Nuke as a compositing solution and open source alternative for editing.
