Flex 2 + CF MX 7.0.2 under Apache

I have been trying for almost 4 months to get Flex and CF
7.0.2 to communicate with each other under Apache 2.2, but have
gotten basically no-where. For example, I can't even get Ray
Camden's Flex implementation to work, nor any of the CF wizard
tutorials...or anything for that matter.
Apache works. CF works. Flex works. CF works WITH Apache (so
it says...after doing all the technotes and jdbc:mysql stuff) but
Flex and CF won't communicate properly as regards reading any kind
of data from a database.
Under the CF wizard in Flex, for example, it tells me the
only valid server root is WEB-INF/flex, on the install drive of
CF...but that's not even on the same drive as Apache htdocs.
Has anyone run across a tutorial on how to make this fly? I
have basically used the ACME Guide, and dumped in Flex, as I've run
into no instructions anywhere to cover adding Flex properly under a
CF/Apache environment. I have tried every configuration I can think
of, and completely formatted/reinstalled everything at least a
dozen times since November.
Any suggestions? Should I just dump Apache completely? I
thought it was wrong to run CF/Flex on the web without it...

You need to do the 7.01 update and then the 7.02 update.

CF + Flex 2.0.1 + Server 2003 + (IIS? Apache? My/MS SQL?)

I've been playing with CF/Apache2.2/Flex2.0.1 for a few
months and I finally bit the bullet and bought it all
(CF/Flex/Server 2003)...and F8 and PSCS2...to finish my,
unfortunately one-and-only-serious computer (dual 200-series
Opteron). So, until now, I've used the trials of Flex/CF on what I
thought would be the cat's *** OS (XP64) but it blows (sorry MS:()
so I bought Server 2003. After going through the rigamaroll of
registering for the 180 trial originally, I removed 2003 fairly
quickly. But it seems, according to spec, to be the best choice, 32
bit, for CF.
I've been using a combination of Apache2.2 and MySQL 5 (with
the hotfixes). But now that I have spent my unborn child's RESP
deposit, I want to make sure I'm doing it the right way.
My PLAN is to do the build like this, and I'd really
appreciate any feedback, because over the last few months, I've
found that many things can go wrong.
Server 2003, turn off IIS. Run Apache 2.2. Run CF under that
(Standard edition CF MX7.0.2). And the scary part, never even SEEN,
let alone used, is MS SQL, the free/4Gb limit version.
I don't know if I would be better off to scrap Apache,
because it's been bullet proof for me for years with PHP and MySQL,
and now with CF/MySQL. But what would the best 'occasionally minor
production, mostly non-critical/development' setup be for a Web
Server. I'm not an expert, and I know squat about IIS.
I also would (in ignorance) assume MS SQL is going to run
much better on IIS, and might even not work properly under Apache.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. I've
everything still in the boxes for the worst case (take it back and
get 'this') scenario.
Would I be saving myself some grief if I asked a pro to come
in and do it, for a fee?
It's strictly for my personal development at this stage, but
I'd like to get some jobs, maybe hosting 1-2 semi-serious apps that
in one case at least (for my employer), will need to be secure
(Financial services regulation for a Members-only Site, i.e.,
sensitive financial data entered on a pre-production server at work
for which my system would serve as the development system, most
likely with live data).
My PERSONAL aim is a fully db-driven, fully-Flex/F8 and fully
CF set of sites, along the lines of hosting the pet projects I have
for my photographer friends. I want my galleries to be among the
best on the net, bar none.
Sorry for the very long post, I am just staring at all these
boxes, and am afraid to even open Server 2003 or look into IIS/MS
SQL until I hear from some of you who might have something pithy to
say.
Thanks for baring with me.
Shawn.

>>That data base is fine for a development environment.
Thanks edbrendel.
So, since I am able to run Apache 2.2 as I want to, would I
be better of to use MySQL 5 or MS SQL Express if I want it to be
largely development, but also for my own stuff (my galleries etc.)
actually running pages served to the web?
I know of the technotes, a couple of them (incl. the MySQL
note on installing V. 5 as a datasource and all that), but never
saw that one...so thanks very much. I've manually added the Apache
2.2 file line in httpd.conf and added the file in the config area,
which always worked in the past with XP Pro and XP64...hope it does
with 2003 I had 2003 server when I first started playing, it was a
nightmare, I hope now that I've bought everything I can wrap my
head around it!). I just make sure I don't try to configure CF
until after manually adding the files, and changing the Apache
config file and restarting. Then I go into the administrator for
the first time.

Tomcat running under apache

Hi All,
I want to be able to run my tomcat3.3.1a under apache webserver, and i klnow i have to use mod_jk. The problem i am having is that my tomcat is not producing the mod_jk.conf_auto file.
I have even added the apacheconfig directive to server.xml but the file is not being generated.
Any ideas anyone on how i can get this file generated.
Thanks in advance

Re: execution problem with oracle jsp under apache

i followed the instruction to install oracle jsp running on apache 1.3.9 and apacheJServ/1.1b3 under win nt 4.0 with sp5. i created a servlet zone to hold the jsp file but for some reason it will not look the the dir specified in the jserv.conf. it look at the dir under apache document root dir.. therefore, i created a dir under the apache root dir and then it was able to compile the hellouser.jsp correctly. when i run lotto.jsp, the image files would not display. why?

Apache Servlet zones allow you separate servlet (sets) into distinct classloaders. The OJSP servlet needs to exist in a servlet zone. However the content the OJSP servlet operates on (the .jsp file) lives in the document root directory just like your other web content. OJSP does support a configuration/init parameter whereby you can explicitly specify a physical directory other than what is mapped via the Apache settings. Please consult the documentation if you want to do this.
As for why the lottery images aren't being displayed, more information is needed. The generated page should create local references to the images files. Are the images in where they are expected to be? Can you be more explicit about the URI you send and the physical structure of the Lottery sample in the file system?

Anyone manage to get ColdFusion to work under Apache on OS X 10.10 Yosemite?

Hi all I'm having great difficulty getting ColdFusion10 to work under Apache with OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
Here is a description of what I've faced and a little of what I've done to solve my problem
Problem 1
Apache httpd.conf file gets messed up
Solution: copy original httpd.conf file from /etc/apache2/original/ to /etc/apache2/
Problem 2
No Java Virtual Machine is installed!
Solution: install Java (version 6 or 7 is better) you may only be able to install version 8
Problem 3
ColdFusion doesn't know where your Java installation is so find and update your ColdFusion configuration files
/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion/bin/jvm.config
/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion/bin/coldfusion
/Applications/ColdFusion10/cfusion/runtime/bin/wsconfig_jvm.config
change the source to whatever your current Java is and where it's located
for example if you have version 7 installed:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home
if you have version 8 installed:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home
Problem 4
INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: YOUR PATH HERE!
Solution:Still working on this one!

I think you should try Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
It's a .pkg installer for OS X, I used it several times to install software that Apple's Installer can't install. After installing Xsan 1.0 from your CD, just launch Apple's software update to upgrade to version 1.3. I think it should work (I didn't try it with Xsan, but this procedure works with other software).

Returning database query results under Apache Axis

I'm trying to write a web service that will return the results of a standard database query. Does anyone have any pointers on what sort of data structure I should convert my ResultSet to that would be best suited to run under Apache Axis? Currently I am trying to use a String[][][], which Axis can serialize and encode fine, but seems to have problems decoding. If someone has some client-side source that is able to receive a String[][][], please post it, as I would rather not have to change the web services around if at all possible.

According to IBM, the best way to do this is by returning an array of a complex type. Using this idea, I changed my services to return an array of DBRow objects, which I wrote for this purpose. DBRow is a simple class that contains a single private String[] with get and set accessors, in accordance with the JavaBeans standard. If you need more details, just respond to this topic.

Setting up Perl under Apache

I'm very disappointed with Apple over the very poor documentation and support for what is potentially an extremely valuable asset in the Mac OSX tool box i.e. being able to test Perl scripts locally using the Apache software included under OSX.
Because it's taken me 2 days to wade through the discussions here and find resources online I want to help others avoid my delays and post what I found. I would also like to comment that the unix community active on this list though so very helpful in many ways could resist scorning those who are entirely unfamiliar with terminal and the command line interface and try to condescend to explain in layman's terms what is essentially not that complex but is so shrouded in jargon, shorthand and arcana that it seems almost deliberately difficult to penetrate. I would ask Apple to please just post a simple 'how to' or if they see fit include this email in their FAQ's.
Thank you to the many who have posted on this subject on this list and I apologize if I have used your suggestions without personal credit. I am with this document merely giving back something of what I have taken out of this useful resource. Please feel free to offer amendments to any obvious mistakes or misunderstandings I am a novice at Unix attempting to help other novices because (Ibelieve) I still speak the same language.
This method is for starting Perl under Tiger OS 10.4x (may work for Panther or earlier I haven't tested it) on a desktop machine, not a server.
To start Apache under OSX
1) To turn on Apache just go to System prefs and turn on 'personal web sharing' under the 'sharing' control panel. Note the IP address that appears under the 'Select a service...' window as this is the IP address of your local web address or 'yourlocalhostaddress' (referenced below). This is what you type into the browser to view your pages locally.
2) It seems intuitive to place your web site in the user/yourusername/sites folder on your hard drive. While this is acceptable for basic web sites it seems to make configuration harder for Perl. I could not access a cgi-bin nor find documentation that satisfactorily informed me how to access a cgi-bin created in this location. That doesn't mean it's not possible just that I don't know how to do it.
Apple have created another folder with a pre-configured cgi folder at the following location;
yourharddrive/library/WebServer
Place your website in the 'Documents' folder and your Perl scripts in the 'CGI_Executables' folder. It's unnecessarily confusing to me that Apple have essentially renamed the cgi-bin to 'CGI_Executables' and the 'html' folder to 'documents' as they would be found under the Apache installation that I'm familiar with but that seems to be what's happened here.
To start Perl support in Apache under OSX
3) If you dont already have one it's useful to have an ultra simple Perl script on hand to test whether your configuration is working. More complex script such as formmail.pl may have additional settings that are confusing as to whether it's the file or the configuration that is causing a script error. To create a simple script copy and paste the following code;
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n";
print "Hello, World.";
into a new, empty document in a text editor and save it as 'first.pl' in your 'CGI_Executables' folder. You can open it in Safari using the following address;
http://yourlocalhostaddress/cgi-bin/first.pl
4) If you test your script now a call to the Perl script will merely open the page with the script as text and will not run it. This is because Apple supplies their copy of Apache with Perl disabled, it's necessary to edit a file called 'httpd.conf' in order to turn Perl on. The recommended way to turn this file on is using the terminal program but the file can also be located through the mac OS although it is partially hidden, it can be edited in a text editor that is suitable for coding such as BBEdit.
The best online documentation I found about how to edit the httpd.conf file using terminal is here;
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2001/12/14/apache_two.html?page=1
However I'm not sure that he is accurate (though I hesitate to disagree with the expert) my experience was significantly different see below(*).
Terminal has useful testing features but the command line is obscure and daunting to the novice. In addition UNIX programmers seem to delight in scaring away the cautious with silly, portentous warnings about privacy etc. This document is very sensitive to the way it's edited, however your computer will not blow up if you get it wrong and there is a back-up default version stored in the same folder so if you do screw up you can restore the defaults and start again.
If you wish to do it without going through the terminal the 'httpd.conf' file is located here;
/private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
where private is an invisible folder so you cant navigate to it directly via the Mac OS. However if you copy and paste the above address into Safari's address bar the folder window will come up revealing the document (this is an undocumented feature and I discovered it by accident so use at your own risk). Alternatively you can navigate to it using an FTP program such as Transmit when you have 'show hidden files' turned on in the preferences. Transmit is a very useful tool because it also allows you to view and change the permissions (or CHMOD) of the files you view in the same manner as you would on a remote server. Something which you cannot do using the 'Get Info' on the Mac OS
You'll notice that there is an httpd.conf and an httpd.conf.default file. The latter is your backup so dont be overly scared of editing the first file, proceed with caution but not with trembling.
Once you have the program open in BBEdit (or your editor of choice) uncomment the following lines by deleting the # symbol;
#LoadModule perl_module libexec/httpd/libperl.so
#AddModule mod_perl.c
The quickest way to find these lines is to do a find on 'Perl' (something you cant do in Terminal). Dont change anything else just save and close, you will be required to enter your administrator password at this point.
(*)Please note;
Kevin Hemenway in the macdevcenter.com article says to uncomment the following lines;
#LoadModule cgi_module libexec/httpd/mod_cgi.so
#AddModule mod_cgi.c
And makes no mention of the lines ending in perl rather than CGI. His article is from 12/14/2001 so it may be out of date. In my httpd.conf file the lines ending 'cgi' were already uncommented but the lines ending 'perl' were commented out. I uncommented the lines ending 'perl' and now in my version both (cgi and perl) are uncommented and active. There are security implications to uncommenting any lines so I may have opened a security loophole that I'm not aware of however until I uncommented the 'perl' lines my scripts did not work. I would be grateful for an explanation of the implications from any Unix expert reading this.
5) The last thing you need to do is restart Apache so that it can load the new config file. To do this stop web sharing in the preferences pane and then restart it.
If you test your simple Perl script 'first.pl' now it should load and show the text "Hello World" in a browser window.
6) if you wish to load a more complex script and find that they will still not work, at least you know that Perl is working. You can check the error logs by opening the terminal and at the prompt (yourusername$) type;
tail /var/log/httpd/error_log
This enables you to trace the whether a permissions, configuration or other error has occurred.
WARNING;
The above is a distillation of my frustrating experience over the last 2 days, it details how I finally got it to work. With everything in scripting I find that I repeat the same method multiple times, convinced each time that I have it right and all of a sudden it works where it didn't work before. This always leaves me unsure that I may have inadvertently done some thing right (as logically I was obviously inadvertently doing something wrong before) that is not documented here. I offer this method as the product of my experience, because I hope it is helpful and because I have the confidence that there is a way to back out of it using the default config file. Despite the above use at your own risk.
G5 Dual 2.5Ghz + Pbook G4 867Mhz + 15GB iPod Mac OS X (10.4.3)

That sounds like a very good useful tip. I would hold on to it in your own computer's repository as well and post sections of it whenever you see someone needing help with it until you are able to add it to the contributions section of the User Tip forum here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=103

Are these application located in other places. My installation was succesfull (without erroras) and in installation log I can found that thousands of some DB entries - named 'pages' has been created in DB... Well - what is architeture of HTML DB application - are web pages saved in Oracle DB and as plain text HTML?

They are stored in the database under the flows users. Unfortunately, they are not in a format that is as friendly as html. The pages are rendered using pl/sql packages in the database.

Running 2 DB servlets under apache!

When I install 1 DB servlet it works fine, but when I add a
second DB servlet in the same zone (or a different one) I'm only
able to start one of them, the first one which get's loaded run's
(so when I start servlet 1 first then it runs, but I'm unable to
run servlet 2 or (after restarting Apache) when I start servlet 2
first it runs but then I'm unable to run servlet 1 ...
The produced error is :
JBO-00200: A Generic exception occurred during loading
Customizations.
null
I did a truss -p and found out that an attempt is done to access
the XXXX.ser (where XXXX = the name of my XXXX.XML) file from the
other servlet! JDEV doesn't create a XXXX.ser file however ...
Any help to solve this problem would be again very much
appreciated.

Hi, is your Apache on Solaris platform? We can not even get one DbServlet running, any configuration tricks to share, thanks a bunch!

Flex application running under AIR takes a long, long time to start.

I have a flex application which runs on a desktop under AIR. The application has an assets folder with 3,500 mp3 soundclips totalling about 50MB. The problem is, the application takes around 90 seconds to load. I'm sure that AIR is scanning the application folder and doing something with the contents because if I delete the assets folder it loads in about 5 seconds. Does anyone know why AIR/Flex would do this, and why it doesn't exhibit the same problem if I run or debug in Flexbuilder on eclipse? It's making my killer app unusable!
Thanks
Paulo

Well, I've spent a bit longer looking at this now, and the problem appears to lie with my encrypted local store. The first thing that happens is for the app to read the product key from the ELS. But, it fails (for some unknown reason). So, the app seems to hang there for 90 seconds until it eventually renders the welcome screen. If I remove the assets folder it still fails to read from the ELS, but only takes a couple of seconds to start the welcome screen. This is where the scanning of the application folder seems to come into play, because if I remove the code which reads from the ELS the app starts within 2 seconds whether the asset folder is there or not.
I think the slow startup and the scanning of the assets folder are just symptoms of a different problem, i.e. a problem with the ELS. I don't have the same problem with my development environment though - it's only when I test deploy the application.
Thanks for your help on this problem EgorKDie. I think I should be able to resolve it once I can sort out why the ELS is being awkward.

Unable to run Flex application with IIS

Hi,
I'm new to flex 3 application. I created a simple application
using wizard from Flex IDE, but this application run well under
ASP.net server but failed under IIS.
Below is how i created the application
1. I created a flex project running on APS.net default server
(cassini).
2. I created an application from database by clicking on Data
-> Create application from database
This application is running fine. However, if i followed the
same step, but used IIS instead of ASP.net default server, the
application failed.
Below are error codes:
faultcode: server.error.request.
faultstring: HTTP request error
faultdetail: Unable to load WSDL. if currently online, please
verify the URI and or format of the WSDL
Appreciate if anyone can help me on that. Thanks in advance

Looks like a domain or path problem.
