Shell-Cgi on windows (Coldfusion and PERL)

I'm running SJSWS 7.o on Win Server 2003. I have configured it to work with CFMX 7 as well as shell-cgi. I require both for new development and supporting legacy PERL programs.
My problem is this. If I limit the shell-cgi to a single directory all works fine, but if I set the shell-cgi to the entire document root, the coldfusion files will not work. It should be possible to serve both file types from the same directories. Is there something I'm missing in the configuration or will I have to limit the the shell-cgi to a single directory.
Again, any help would be appreciated

That was what I originally tried to do to no avail.
By creating a shellcgi directory and modifying the <vi-s-id>conf.conf file (i.e adding - NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from="/cgi-bin", dir="<dirpath>" name="shellcgi", which the system did not add) the perl and cgi files worked within that directory, but CF files would not and if I modified the directory to the entire document root, PERL and CGI would work, but again CF would not.
I removed the directory and made sure the cgi as file type was selected. CF worked but no cgi or perl.
I checked the mime types and there was an entry for cgi and shellcgi, but both were referencing the same file types (cgi, exe, pl). I deleted the magnus-internal/cgi mime type and everything works as it should.
Thanks for the help...

CGI and Perl

I am new to the forum and know just enough to be dangerous.
Before I bought CS4 Design Premium, I'd been teaching myself CGI
and Perl. I am operating on Windows XP and have the Apache Server
and Perl on my desktop for testing my website before I upload
everything to my webserver. My webserver supports Perl.
I have been able to create a simple form that collects my
name and email address and, a very simple Perl script, returns the
info to me in a new HTML page. (The purpose of which is to just
make sure my technology is working.) When I place the .shtml file
in my apache httdocs folder and my perl file into the apache
cgi-bin folder, I can make it all work with
"localhost/myfile.shtml" in my browser. In other words, I can fill
in the form, hit submit and a new page is returned in the browser
with the appropriate information.
I created both these pages in Dreamweaver and just saved them
to the appropriate locations.
However, when I try to run the same process in Dreamweaver
Live View, it doesn't work so well. I can get the page and fill it
out, but when I hit submit, nothing happens.
I have the site set up with a Test Server pointing to the
apache/httdocs folder where I put the .shtml file. I can see the
form in Live View with both the "use local files" and with "use the
Test Server" options. But can't get the page to respond in either.
Can anybody point me in the right direction for
troubleshooting? I've been trolling the web for a couple of days
now (including Adobe documentation) looking for the right answer. I
don't have a separate application server on my desktop as I'm not
looking to access a database at the moment.
Thank you.

As long as you have a testing server correctly defined in
your site,
Live View shows the output of dynamic pages, such as those
created by
PHP, ColdFusion, or another server-side language. It also
shows
client-side dynamic features, such as JavaScript widgets.
However, it's
not a substitute for testing in a browser. Although it shows
the output
of a database query, it won't, for example, process user
input and
update the database. Nor will it take you to another page
when you click
a link.

OpenSSL and Perl

I've been working on Xyne's feature requests for Pacgraph. He thought it would be cool if there were some way to quickly explore the dependencies of stuff and how packages fit together.
Here's an interesting relationship: OpenSSL and Perl. If you chase OpenSSL's deps all the way down to glibc, you'll find it needs 135Mb. The single biggest dep is Perl, at 38Mb. I would hope Perl is important to its function.
Searching the net found a Gentoo bug report about this. It was closed as CantFix because "the stupid build system uses perl". As a binary distro, it sounds like Perl should be a makedep. (Assuming the build system is unchanged. The bug report was from 5 years ago.)
Searching "pacman -Ql openssl" reveals exactly one Perl script: /etc/ssl/misc/CA.pl and it's associated manpage. Also present is a shell script (/etc/ssl/misc/CA.sh) which does the same thing (but does not have a manpage).
Is there any reason to have a Perl dependency for just this one duplicated script? Am I missing something? I know tweaks to OpenSSL should not be taken lightly, we would not want to end up like Debian.

They removed a portion of the PRNG to make it debugger friendly. This broke the keygen for Debian/Ubuntu/friends. Here is a more detailed summary of the Debian mess: http://www.links.org/?p=328
From CA.pl's manpage:
The CA.pl script is a perl script that supplies the relevant command line arguments to the openssl command for some common certificate operations. It is intended to simplify the process of certificate creation and management by the use of some simple options.
Personally, I've never used it for creating certs. I've never seen it referenced in any SSL tutorial or guide. Beyond the man page, it is mentioned once on OpenSSL's site.
http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.ht … pass=guest
The dev's say the Perl script is only there for systems lacking Bash, mainly just Windows. Do we need this dependency just for Window's sake?

OCIEnvNLSCreate using Cygwin and Perl

Hi
I have Cygwin 1.5.25 installed with Oracle 10g Client on Windows XP Professional. I have installed DBD::Oracle (1.21) and Perl 5.8
Here is my environment
ORACLE_HOME C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_2
LD_LIBRARY_PATH %ORACLE_HOME%\bin
TNS_ADMIN %ORACLE_HOME%\NETWORK\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora
NLS_LANG AMERICA_AMERICA.WE8DEC
ORACLE_SID CBDEV
TWO_TASK CBDEV (available in tnsnames.ora)
ORA_NLS10 C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_2\nls\data
SQLPLUS %ORACLE_HOME%\BIN
Cygwin picks up all the above variables at startup
sqlplus <uname/passwd>@CBDEV also works from the cygwin shell
However below script, which uses Perl DBI to connect to same database to retrieve data fails with error posted below.
I googled for this error and from all posted threads, changed permissions on ORACLE_HOME/BIN and ORACLE_HOME/LIB. Also did the same for entire ORACLE_HOME directory
ANY input would be appreciated. I did not find a separate forum for Perl, hence posted on this forum!!
Thanks

PHP as CGI (Shell-CGI)

Hi Everybody,
I am new to Web Servers and as a Java Developer I have decided to start
with Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP1. Till now I have been able to configure
Servlet and JSPs' but not been able to configure PHP. As Zend enabler is
not free I had to look for alternatives and then I found one in the PHP.net
site, which is as follows:
Copy the php files on your server
Get the php zip file http://www.php.net/
Edit php.ini-dist
rename php.ini-dist to php.ini
Edit php.ini : Indicate in which directory you have copied youre php files. (extension_dir = d:\php4\extensions ; directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.)
copy php.ini in youre windows directory (c:\winnt)
Make a file association under Windows NT
In a DOS Window (do not copy this two lines in a batch file! because of %1), type assoc .php=PHPScript
ftype PHPScript=d:\php4\php.exe %1 %*
2nd step : Configuring Netscape Enterprise Server for PHP
Specifying shell-CGI as Filetype
Due to a bug of the Nestcape/iPlanet administration console,
you have to create a dummy shell-cgi directory (for ex:/dummy maps c:/temp)
Remove it just after, (it will create 4 lines in obj.conf)
If you don't do that you will get (no way to service request in the netscape error log)
First Activate CGI as a file type
From the Server Manager of NES 3.6.x, choose Programs|CGI File Type and Set the Radio Group to 'YES'
Click here for screenshot
From the Server Manager of NES 3.6.x, choose Server Preferences|MIME Types.
On the MIME Types page, add a new MIME type.
Set the Type field to type, and the content type to magnus-internal/shellcgi
In the File Suffix field, enter php Click here for screenshot
Test the 2nd step
Put the test.php file in the document root of your server
Then type http://server/test.php
If you can see "nothing to write" in your browser then it works!
But after doing all these works yet PHP program does not work. I am using Windows XP &
PHP 4.3.4. My queries are:
1. Is it possible to configure Sun ONE Web Server in this way?
2. If so then what went wrong?
3. If not then someone please tell how it can be done?
Waiting for the reply and THANKS in advance for your assistance.

I am also getting the same log when I am configuring php on sun one webserver 6.1 sp8 as CGI.
But as for fastcgi I am getting the below log
[10/Aug/2007:14:26:32] info ( 2656): CORE1116: Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP8 B06/14/2007 11:35 [10/Aug/2007:14:26:32] info ( 2656): FCGI1000: Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP5 FastCGI NSAPI Plugin B06/29/2005 06:03 [10/Aug/2007:14:26:32] info ( 2656): CORE5076: Using [Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM, Version 1.5.0_06] from [Sun Microsystems Inc.] [10/Aug/2007:14:26:32] info ( 2656): WEB0100: Loading web module in virtual server [https-cgi.com] at [search] [10/Aug/2007:14:26:34] info ( 2656): HTTP3072: [LS ls1] http://dev1:7001 ready to accept requests [10/Aug/2007:14:26:34] info ( 2656): CORE3274: successful server startup

Error in unattend file windows 8 and 8.1 sysprep

Hi,
I am using MDT 2013 and ADK 8.1. I am trying to deploy Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 base image. Once the PC has finished imaging and starts the first boot it come up with the following message:
"Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]. The setting in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing settings for component [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup]."
I have not created any answer files, I think this is created automatically my MDT when you create a Task Sequence.
I am not trying to deploy a custom image, this is the base image that was taken off the DVD and imported to MDT. When I use the DVD to install the OS it works fine but not through MDT.
Any help will be much appreciated..
Thanks

Check your dism.log
You can find it on your client: C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log
This will tell you exactly which setting cannot be parsed.
Cheers!
If this post is helpful please click "Mark for answer", thanks! Kind regards

Apache mod_rewrite CGI Variables in ColdFusion

I have an environment that consists of Apache 2.2.8 and ColdFusion 8 running on Solaris 10.
I am attempting to pass a CGI variable to ColdFusion as part of an Apache Rewrite rule, however I am not able to do so.
The Rewrite rule set exists as follows:
RewriteCond %{SSL:SSL_PROTOCOL} ^TLSv1$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ %{HTTP_REFERER}?result=pass [L,R,E=HTTP_MYVAR:rw]
The rule set works with the exception of the availability of the CGI variable HTTP_MYVAR within the ColdFusion CGI scope.
I am testing for the existance of the variable within ColdFusion as follows:
<cfif (structkeyexists(cgi, 'CGI.HTTP_MYVAR'))>
   CGI.HTTP_MYVAR exists as:<cfoutput>#CGI.HTTP_MYVAR#</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
   CGI.HTTP_MYVAR does not exist.
</cfif>
Does anyone have experience creating variables in an Apache Rewrite rule set and evaluating them in ColdFusion?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

OK, as part of my work-avoidance for the day, I have replicated the work I did in NZ on my other laptop.
I put this in httpd.conf
Alias /junk C:/webroots/junk
<Directory "C:/webroots/junk">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase    /junk/
    RewriteRule (.*) $1 [E=MYCUSTOMVARIABLE:mycustomvalue]
</Directory>
And my test code is this:
<cfoutput>
CGI.MYCUSTOMVARIABLE = [#CGI.MYCUSTOMVARIABLE#]<br />
</cfoutput>
I restart Apache, run the template, and I get this:
CGI.MYCUSTOMVARIABLE = [mycustomvalue]
How does this differ from what you're doing?

Windows 7 and XP Disable wireless when connected to hot wired

Hello there,
We are facing IP address shortage due to redundant network connections from laptops because every laptop uses two IP address when connected to wireless network and hard wire. Does Windows 7 and XP natively has the options to disable wireless when a laptop
is connected to hard wired? I know the wireless can easily disabled by manual process but problem is user don't have the knowledge or don't bother to do that. So if there is a way to use GPO to configure this would be ideal -- no 3rd party solution please.
Any suggestion is most welcomed.
Thanks,
TL

There are no Fail proof ways for Win 7 or 8 to make sure that AT ALL times Wire is used over WIFI. The metric setting is ignored by MS. I know cause my metric for the wired is 10 and for the WiFi is 9999, but at all times the WiFi is used instead of the
Wired. This is by design as Microsoft being as inept as always did not properly design their operating system. This is a DESIGN DEFECT, which Microsoft will not admit to, despite the fact that it could be caused by no other method EXCEPT incompetent design,
ignored during quality assurance testing etc. The reason there are a million people looking for a fix for this design flaw is that there is NO fix available. MS will not fix it as they got your money and could care less. Being that they are among the most
evil and greedy companies currently in business is why it will never be fixed. I dare them to prove me wrong and fix the obvious design defect. I double dare all who read this to log in to the MS tech net and demand that they fix this DESIGN DEFECT.
Any developer qualified to design an OS should have no problem permanently fixing this and Microsoft has NO EXCUSE for not doing so with an update!!!!!! All they have to do in the code logic is ask the system if the device getting an IP etc is using a "radio"
then it asks all the other devices that are getting or have gotten an IP if it was gotten via a radio, If during any of these quires the answer is I DID NOT get my IP from a radio connection then that IP path gets priority and all the others, IE WiFi gets
disabled. Then if there is a change in the network, loss of connectivity for example, the process is repeated and when everything say's it got its IP from a radio then the WiFi takes over. So in a nut shell every connection is looked at to see if it is from
a radio based device or a hardwired based device, NOT using metrics since that apparently can not be counted on, the prof is in the 500+ PCs I just setup, ALL OF WHICH GIVE A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER METRIC TO THE WIRED, but still choose the WIFi. The order of
the connection establishment should not matter since the test is performed on every connection and as soon as one is found that is not radio based, it is left on and all others are turned off. Common sense really. This is NOT ROCKET science! Just good common
sense programing.
So I challenge everyone who reads this comment to add a demand for MS to fix the DESIGN DEFECT once and for all.
That's all I have to say. If there is a script as some of the suggestions here mention that can do it, if there is a single 3rd party product out there that can do it, then there is NO EXCUSE for MS not to provide a PERMANENT OFFICIAL MICROSOFT CERTIFIED
FREE fix for this DEFECT. And yes it can only be classified as a DESIGN DEFECT as common sense say's you would AT NO time under normal operations EVER want the MUCH slower WiFi, 100 mbps compared to 1000 mbps for wired to be in charge. EVER! Even if
the wired nic is only 100 mbps, some cheep junk laptops have the indecency to come with a 100 mbps nic instead of a Gigabit, the Wired is still better 99.99999% of the time.
And one last thing this IS THE ONLY REAL ACCEPTABLE ANSWER to the original question, and all the others just like it who EXPECT, with GOOD REASON, that COMMON SENSE, would be in charge NOT ignorance and defective designs, and that AT ALL TIME WIRED RULES
OVER WIFI.
Hope this helps, it is time to insist that MS do their job AND FIX THE DESIGN DEFECT!!!!!!!!!
Ralph
PS Not all systems have switches on the outside for disabling the WiFi. My HPs don't and trying to train all the users on how to MANUALLY disable it and when to do so etc is like trying heard flock of sparrows, it's not happening, NOR SHOULD IT NEED TO!

How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

Dear All,
We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

Windows 8.1 need help with Windows Updates and Start menu Or fix my old Windows Xp system

My beloved windows Xp has gave up after many years of working well. It stopped working a few days ago after a lightening strike.
I got this Windows 8.1 computer a few month ago but it seems to have a problem. I stopped using it after could not get start menu to work and when back to my Windows XP system.
First problem is the start menu is not there. I tried installing something and it says it will take control or something and screen goes black. I clicked canceled quickly in order not to get a virus.
Where is the start menu?
Second problem, Windows updates does not want to update because it needs Windows 8.1 update. This computer is already Windows 8.1. There I canceled it since it was mostly a virus. Now updates are not working.
If those can not be fixed, how can i fix my Windows Xp to get it back. It does not turn on, I press button and nothing happens. Is this something easy to fix?

Another user discovers that Windows 8.1 is not at all of what it should be.
There is no Start Menu in Windows 8 or 8.1. However, you can restore your desktop start menu with a very good freeware application:
Classic Shell
Windows Update comes with Windows 8.1. There is nothing special you have to do.
It kind of sounds like you've been a bit too quick to download and run whatever you find on the Internet. You should always research any software you're considering downloading/installing ahead of time. Google it. See what others say
about it. Ask on forums. In order to use Windows effectively and safely you need to expand your knowledge and become a more sophisticated user.
If you think your new system has become infected, you might want to consider Refreshing or Resetting it to a clean state, or at least visiting one of the anti-malware forums and getting some advice on cleaning it up. But beware, a lot
of "blind leading the blind" happens on forums. Always try to read between the lines, and question what people say.
You could consider leaving XP behind. Its time has come and gone, and pretty much any newer version of Windows can actually give you better service than XP - once you get it tuned up.
It's possible to make Windows 8.1 more functional than XP and about as functional as Windows 7, but it takes a fair bit of effort in reconfiguration and installation of some well-known 3rd party applications that are good (which, unfortunately, most
on the internet are not).
Good luck to you.

Can I load Acrobat Pro 6 onto Windows 7 and upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9?

Can I load Acrobat Pro 6 onto Windows 7 and upgrade to Acrobat Pro 9? My former PC ran on Windows XP and this new PC runs on Windows 7. I don't want to shell out another $449 when Acrobat Pro 9 worked fine for me.

You might be able to install Acrobat 6 for this purpose, but you probably won't have to. When you install Acrobat 9 Upgrade it should (if I remember right) ask for the serial number of your "qualifying" product and at that point you put in the Acrobat 6 serial.

Using Windows 7 and Firefox 10.0.2, at random times all home page images "disappear" when switching between web sites. Page layout on some web sites is lost. Requires removing and downloading Firefox to restore. Any ideas?

I have recently (6 months ago) purchased and use an HP Pavilion desktop with Windows 7. At times, when especially active (several windows open) and switching between windows or using links to connect with another web page, all the images on the home home page "disappear", that is to say there is space, but no image, as if the page did not load correctly. When this happens, pages other than the home page also do not display images.
Same pages display correctly in Explorer whenever this happens.

Hi
Can you please try setting up full persmission in the security properties for everyone on the wsconfig folder C:\ColdFusion10\config\wsconfig and restart ColdFusion Server.

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
$0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000500.
I'm not quite sure where I've gone wrong.
Thanks for any help,
Heather

Check the PHP documentation - it tells you all you need to
know:

I've no idea what relationship you have with "Training from

but I find it interesting - to say the least - that you need

ColdFusion and MS SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition

Trying to get ColdFusion (Developers Edition) to communicate
with MS SQL Server 2005 (Enterprise Edition). I have ColdFusion
running on username = admin; password = as set up when installed.
Have also tried setting up a user account with my Windows desktop
username and password in case ColdFusion needed to be logged on as
the same user as the SQL server. I have full admin permissions on
the SQL Server (with Windows authentication), and am the database
"owner" of the database on the server. In either ColdFusion login
case, when I try to "add a data source", with driver = Microsift
SQL Server, I get.....
Connection verification failed for data source: CFtoVolcano
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC
Driver][SQLServer]Login failed for user 'kewing'.
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException:
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Login failed for user
'kewing'.
Went to help files (troubleshooting area) and verified that
the local web browser (IIS) and Cold Fusion ARE running. Next step
takes me to "Change ColdFusion user account" which starts with
"Open Control Panel and select ColdFusion 8 App Server and click
Startup". I don't see that choice in MyComputer/ControlPanel. Not
even sure if this is going to ba another dead end anyway!!!
HELP! This shouldn't be this difficult! I'm not using some
weird version of SQL!

To use the default SQL drivers bundled with CF you need to
use SQL authentication (which is disabled by default I think) in
SQL Server 2005. If you enable SQL (mixed mode) authentication and
create a user you can then add the data source in the CF admin.
Alternatively, in order to use integrated windows
authentication with SQL server your CF service needs to run as
specific user. (It sounds like you've already done this) and you
will need to use Microsoft's JDBC driver
