Verity Search Server Issues

Anyone else have this issue when trying to use cfsearch
against a
collection? If so, was there a fix? We installed the search
server when we
installed CF8 as a package install.
Message Unable to connect to the ColdFusion Search service.
Detail On Windows, you may need to start the ColdFusion
Search Server from
the services control panel.
On Unix, you may need to run the search startup script in the
ColdFusion bin
directory.
Error: java.io.IOException: unable to obtain from connection
pool: cannot
make connection to server at: k2://localhost:9951
I restarted the search server about 10 times and even tried
the uninstall
and install bat files. Nothing seems to work. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried just re-installing the CF8
Search server, but it still didn't work so I uninstalled it and
then reinstalled it. After that I was able to create the new
collections and finally, re-index the new collections. All seems
well for now. I have four more systems to recreate the collections
for and then re-index all of them.
This whole thing begs the questions:
1. How long is this installation going to survive?
2. Is this an indication of a very fragile product?
3. Are you and I the only ones having problems?
4. Are you and I the only ones using CF8 Verity?
5. Is Adobe aware of any problems with CF8 Verity?
6. Is there something wrong with my code that has worked
successfully with CF4, CF5 & CF6 now that I'm using CF8?
I’m sure there are other questions that should be asked
but I’m too tired and hungry to think about them right now.
Thanks again for your insight.

Verity Search Server on Macintosh

I was intending to use the ColdFusion Verity Search Service but the service is unable in the ColdFusion Administrator. It would seem the server needs to be installed separately but the link in LiveDocs is unavailable, I’m using CF8 developer on a Macintosh, if anyone knows where I can find the installation software that would be appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know about that, pwizzard. Here's something else to consider. While there's no "Mac" installer, there is a Linux one. I think that will work for you. Note that you do need to have a license key for CF to get to it. (In other words, this won't work if you're using the Developer edition, because it has no license key.)
Short answer:
Go to the page, https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=verity, enter your CF license key (standard or enterprise), and download the installer (for Linux) from there. Let us know if it works
It's also unfortunate that the /go/verity/ link fails. While we can't change the CF8 licvedocs page you found, I did change the corresponding CF9 page to offer the link above.
Long answer:
As for how I figured out that this may be what you need, here's what I did, in case any of it may help you or others in the future.
First, I recalled that there was a page of installers that went along with CF. I couldn't remember the link, but I trusted that the Adobe CF site would get me there.
- I went to the CF front page (can be found via google): http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/
- choose link in lower right of right nav bar for CF8: http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/coldfusion8/
- choose link to download trial
- log in (if you don't want to login, just keep reading).
- choose link for "related ColdFusion downloads": http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html
- and note that you could also just visit that link directly, now that you know it, without needing to log in
- there, it offers a section on "Verity (language packs and standalone installer)", and it has the link I offered above
Admittedly, that page says that the installer is meant for installing Verity on a machine separate from CF, so I wondered if it was what you really needed. I decided to search google for help (coldfusion install verity) and found this http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=othertechnologies_06.htm l. I guess that's the page you had found, because it offers a link to get to the installer, as http://www.adobe.com/go/verity, which fails (and because this is the CF8 docs, we can't even update it with a corrected link if we find one.)
But note that these help pages offer a popup box that offers a link to the CF9 docs: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/CFMLRef/index.html. Unfortunately, that goes to the front page of the docs. You need to note where you were on the previous page (bummer). At the top of the CF8 doc page, we see that the page was within "Installing and Using ColdFusion / Installing Integrated Technologies". We can select that from the CF docs front page, which opens to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Installing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cdec18c28 -7ff1.html.
The link for the verity page itself is http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Installing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cdec18969 -7ffd.html. Sadly, that page (almost identical to the CF8 one) also has that failing link, but at least we can update the page with the proper one.
I wasn't positive that it was the right link, until I did some more digging. (FWIW, I tried to find any old version of the go/verity page at archive.org, but no luck. Returning to the google search results list, I did find this, though: http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/verity_reg/register/index.cgi. That looked just like the first link offered above, though only for CF7, so I was more confident that the first link I offered is indeed what you need.)
I thought to search google for the specific phrase "adobe.com/go/verity", and there it found a couple of other CF9 doc pages, and one of them (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=verity) did also have the bad /go/verity link, and someone offered in a comment a link to (again) the original download page I offered (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=verity). So that really seems the right page, and I have added a comment to http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Installing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cdec18969 -7ffd.html.
One last thing: while the download page doesn’t have an OS X-specific installer, the help page does mention OS X and says getting this installer is the solution, and it does offer a Linux installer to look for, so I suppose that's what you are supposed to you. One thing that still has me a little suspect of things is that I did use a key to get to that download page, and I see the filename offered for the Linux installer is "coldfusion-search-lin.bin", not the "ColdFusion_9_Verity_linux.bin name offered". But maybe it's just a doc inconsistency.
Anyway let us know if it helps.

Verity Search Server Problem

Hello all,
This is my first attempt to use Verity on my localhost and
I've run into a problem trying to create a collection via the CF
Administrator pages. Whenever I click on Data & Services >
Verity Collections I see the following error:
"Unable to retrieve collections from the Search Service.
Please verify that the ColdFusion Search Server is installed and
running."
I've taken the following troubleshooting steps:
- Checked to make sure Verity was installed
- Stopped and started the ColdFusion 8 Search Server services
- Ran the verity-install.bat again. When I did this I
recieved the following error: OpenService Failed: Access is Denied
I'm running Windows Visa Home Premium.
Any thoughts on how I can get Verity working on my local
machine would be most appreciated.

Install K2 Verity Search on Cold Fusion Mx7

Does anyone have any documentation, a KB article, or
experience installing and configuring the K2 Verity Search Server
on Cold Fusion MX 7?
We have Cold Fusion running but it doesn't look like any of
the Verity services are installed. I've found KB articles related
to K2 Verity on version 5, but not for verion 7.

We already have Cold Fusion installed, but somehow the Verity
Search Server was never installed as part of the normal install
process.
Quote from doc:
Installing the Verity search server separately
By default, the installer installs the Verity search server on
the same computer as
ColdFusion MX 7. To enable searches using Verity, if you
want to install the Verity search server
on a different computer from the one where you install
ColdFusion MX 7, you must install the
Verity search server separately. For more information, see
“Installing the Verity search server
So I guess what you're saying is to download the packages and
install Verity?

Search Server installation issue

Dear all,
I installed Peoplesoft HRMS 9.1 with Peopletools 8.52.11 on a Windows 2008 x64 server and Oracle 11G database.
I'm installing the Search Server now from PSAdmin.
After setting the configuration, I try to boot the server, it is giving me the following error:
exec GWADM -A -o ".\LOGS\stdout" -e ".\LOGS\stderr":
Failed
tmboot CMDTUX_CAT:827: ERROR: Fatal error encountered; initiating user error handler
tmshutdown -qy
I tried deleting the cache, Cleaning IPC, I even opened the port (7778) and restarted the server, and I'm still getting the same issue.
The Search server log doesn't show any error, but the Tuxedo log file shows the following error:
CMDGW_CAT:3250: Error: Cannot send config to GWADM group=GWTGROUP
LIBTUX_CAT:250: Error: tpsvrinit() failed

Any help is much appreciated.
Thx

Fixed it.
I had put the port wrong in the configuration.
Thanks.

SharePoint 2010 functioning incorrectly after installing Search Server Express

Hi,
and thanks for taking the time to lend a hand and your knowledge. I have a Sharepoint Foundation 2010 site that has went crazy after I tried to install Search Server Express - which FAILED near the end.
I have checked the logs for the correlation Id provided on the SPF site when it errors.
03/05/2015 10:02:23.75 w3wp.exe (0x101C)      0x1264 SharePoint Foundation         Runtime
tkau Unexpected System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.    at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.ListEditPage.SetSectionLinks()     at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.ListEditPage.OnLoad(EventArgs
e)     at ASP._layouts_listedit_aspx.OnLoad(EventArgs e)     at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()     at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) b5f617dc-5d0e-4c5b-92fa-1b7e5a12f2e3
My issue now is that it appears I will need to remove the SSE install, but from what I can see online this can have a serious impact on the SPF site. I really want a few opinions as to what my best route to take would be on this issue.
Also, I am wondering what would happen if I run the install again of SSE, would it resolve,
OR
is it going to be a matter of detaching the content database and reinstalling SPF2010, and reattaching the content database (P.s. I have a back up of this database of approx. 4Gb from before I ran the install that has ruined the last two days of my life!!!)
Kind Regards,
AG06

Solution...
Over the weekend I was able to detach the Database, delete the original Web Application on Port 80.
Reattach the Database to new WebApplication and extended it to my current URL.
This was brilliant and it required minor config in terms of redeploying some custom solutions and WebParts.
The result was perfect and it confirms that because SearchServerExpress (which is now working perfectly I may add after a new install which ran without errors) failed to finish its installation.
P.s. I recommend that if you complete this, you back up almost everything you possibly can (as I did) - better to be safe than to be sorry.
P.s.s. Before I deleted the original Web Application on port 80, I had tested my theory on a new Web Application on port 400 (any port is fine providing it is not being used). This illustrated to me that it would work - I didn't just go deleting Web Applications
for the fun of it!

Search Server 2010 Express: Open a PDF document from list of search results invokes adobe reader client application with error

Hi community,
I set up search server 2010 express on a windows 2008 r2 server.
The Adobe PDF iFilter 9 64 bit is installed and search is correctly configured to find PDF-files.
When doing a search and clicking on a link of the result page, the PDF is not opened in the browser, instead the adobe reader XI client application (11.0.04) is invoked and an error raised like "could not open document .. check syntax of url..."
Right click on a link to open in new tab works fine. And PDF-Files from other arbitrary Internet Sites opens in browser correctly. Moreover when configure Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 as default application on the client it also open in Browser correctly.
I noticed googling the web there are several challenges when dealing with PDF-files in sharepoint. The following settings are made so far:
1. In IE: Add-On to open PDF in Browser is enabled for all sites.
2. Client Integration is enabled
3. The OpenControl attribute in the DOCICON.xml is left empty OpenControl="" for the pdf entry.
4. The Browser File Handling is set to "Permissive".
Please feel free to ask for more information if needed.
I appreciate any help on this. I don't know what to do further.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply.
Before responding to your points I want to give a little more context:
We have an intranet based on pure html and a little aspx containing many of those pdf- files. By clicking on the links in the intranet the files open correctly in browser handled by the adobe plugin. Now we set up this search server crawling the file system
accessed through a share to the root folder of the intranet. In the search server settings a host mapping rule is applied to replace the file://[share] with http://[intranet host+domain+port] to access files over http.
And now to answer your question. The resulting urls are the same, copying the link from intranet and copying the link from the search result (except some case issues).
The event viewer not seem to show any errors on this, though I'm not very familiar using it.
If any further information are from interest and any ideas come to your mind - please let me know.
Thanks.

Search server express Content Source Type for file download

Hi All
We have recently installed Search Server Express 2010 in our organization. Now we want to create content source to search from our file server files.
Have used “File Shares" as "Content Source Type", and now this is working perfectly fine. But whenever we try to download the
files which are there in search result we wont be able to do that.
As well as search result shows the complete path of the file on file server.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Somnath

1. Should be much faster than that. Make sure you have an index on the KEY column (or, if a view, on the underlying column that the view is created on). Otherwise it will do a full table scan for each row it fetches.
2. 40 threads sounds a little high - we found the optimum level was between 10 and 15 threads. Have you checked the memory usage on the system? Perhaps all your threads are causing your system to page.
3. The column returning "LastModifiedDate" determines whether the content for that row needs to be reindexed. If LastModifiedDate is unchanged since the last crawl, the row will not be reindexed.

Verity search ranking

Hi,
I've been playing around with verity and was wondering if
there is a way to modify the way verity does its ranking.
Say I'm looking for Foo Bar, but I'd like to include those
with just Foo and those with just Bar, but those should be right at
the end (low score). How can I achieve this?
Using OR will give documents with Foo, documents with Bar,
and documents with both Foo and Bar the same score (0.7967). And if
I do an ANDed search I only get the last one (which I'd expect). Is
there a way express my request better, or configure verity to index
around my own personal taste.
Search Term:
Foo Bar
Order I'd like:
documents with both Foo and Bar (score ~1.0)
documents with just Foo (score ~0.5)
documents with just Bar (score ~0.5)
Thanks,
J_C_C

In my understanding enterprise can index 1 location. That can
either be the localhost or another server. Not both. If it is on
another server you must install verity from the Coldfusion disc.
Then in the admin look under "Data & Services" -> Verity K2
Server to set the server name.
I am unsure if this can be done with standard edition.

Sorry, we are having some temporary server issues. You can work off line if you plan to insert pictures from your computer

We have about 200 users that connect to three terminal servers. On the servers we have Office 2013 installed. Several users are stating that when they attempt to search for templates or insert Online Pictures, they are getting error messages of "Sorry,
we are having some temporary server issues. You can work off line if you plan to insert pictures from your computer"
Remember, they are connecting to a terminal server, all have roaming profiles, and for some users this works fine.
We've Googled the error message and found no help. A lot of responses was to reset the IE settings, which we've tried to no avail.
Also as a test, we took one of the users that was having the issue and deleted their profile. When they logged back on the server, the same problem occurred again.
We're currently at a loss as to why it works for some users and not others?
Any ideas out there?

You can refer to this link and find the possible solution which is to delete the offending registry key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Internet\WebServiceCache\AllUsers\office15client.microsoft.com
http://angrytechnician.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/office-2013-error-sorry-we-are-having-some-temporary-server-issues/
There we can also find information about deploying logon script to all roaming profile users to resolve this issue.

Verity Search Service in JBoss

Hi All,
Good morning!
Here my question is about Verity Search Service. I'm using Windows OS in my local machine and my DEV system is using Linux OS. In both these machines, Verity Search is working properly and our code works good. When we to do the same thing on the Client server its not working. We are always getting a message that the Coldfusion Verity Search service is not started/ not there.
Our Client server is built in JBoss and Coldfusion.
Can you please guide me how to start the Verity Search Service in the JBoss?
Here is the error message we are getting.
On Windows, you may need to start the ColdFusion Search Server from the services control panel.
On Unix, you may need to run the search startup script in the ColdFusion bin directory.
Error: java.io.IOException: unable to obtain from connection pool: cannot make connection to server at: k2://localhost:9953"
Thanks in advance!

Hi Amar,
Thank you for the quick response

Verity search results

Is it possible to encrypt the url of the file in the verity
search results, so that the user can't view the actual folder
structure of the file. Please help if some one knows how this could
be done. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

The issue is not how to remove all CFM files from the
collection. We just want CFM files that do not output anything to
the user to be excluded from the search index. Most of the files in
this site are CFM files. Most importantly would be application.cfm,
form action pages, and other included files.
Certainly we could parse the results for a filename in a
predefined list, but we are trying to avoid defining this
programmatically; thinking that it is odd that these files get
included in the results at all. In the past we have segmented sites
using .cfm and .cfml as a way of excluding specific files from the
index (in the collection definition, we would not include the
specific extension as required). But this site has been in
production for some time, and is just now adding a search feature.
We don't want to rename files, and have to recheck every single
page and link in the entire site.
Does that explain what we're trying to do better?
Cheers,
Kris

Help!Electronic noises,server issues,console messages,ethernet -PowerPC G4

I've been searching the internet as well as the Console and Activity Monitor for answers to this scenario, and it looks as though there is some kind of relationship between recent strange sounds I have been hearing over my speakers and server issues (my IP? Apple servers? spyware? )
Immediately below, are some of the log messages I have copied (for terminology examples).
Below them will be the description of the sounds I've been hearing, and potentially related details.
The first of the log examples documents something that happened when no one was home to use the computer. The second describes some kind of process that might be suspicious. The third describes what is happening a lot lately, and it seems to correspond with the sounds I referred to as well as with simultaneous increases in network activity shown on the Activity Monitor

I have recently been getting both a tapping and a buzzing sound through my speakers. Both kinds of sounds come together, intermittently and repeatedly, and each time, the volume rises, peaks, and fades away again (or stays faint until it starts to rise again). Today, once, there was a squeal-ish sound (not like a fax) as well, paralleling the other sound. These episodes vary in duration.
The Activity Monitor has shown increases in the Network window when these sounds have occurred, but I don't remember whether the greater increases were incoming or outgoing--I think, incoming.
When this first started happening, I was also seeing a lot of "Network Transition Occurred" messages in the log. Now I am seeing mostly "Macintosh mDNSResponder: Couldn't read user-specified Computer Name; using default "Macintosh-000000000000” (or “Macintosh-00112474A206)” instead" messages.
It all started happening after I uninstalled a trial version of ProtectMac (at the end of March), as well as set up a separate log-in for my grandson to use (major changes for the first time in years, which also caused me to lose a lot of things like bookmarks, saved music in iTunes, home movies in camera related software, pictures in iPhoto, etc...). Somewhere along the line I also lost iSync and just left it off.
Are these noises servers trying to communicate with my computer, which I somehow happen to be hearing as transmitted static/feedback/or signaling?
I have a 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4. I use a DSL, ethernet.
Thank you.

CF8 Verity K2 server excessive memory

I can see this is an old post, but it still appears to be
relavent today even with CF8. My understanding is that CF8 is using
Verity K2 5.5 (same as CF7). I am able to take up a massive amount
of system memory just by simply adding collections without even
indexing them. I noticed this problem when we started getting ready
deploy several of our home grown CMS products onto our development
server and I noticed that a large chunck of memory was being taken
up.
So, I decided simply to see what the server would do if I
just started adding a bunch of empty verity collections. The memory
taken up by just 60 collections was over 1G. I tried to take it to
120 collections, but verity kept crashing (out of memory errors).
I read in this post (
Verity
Not Working in CF MX 7) that it was possible to seperate out
the verity server from the CF server, so I have been attempting to
do just that. Rob Rush provides a good informational link in that
post. So far I have been unsuccessful. I have followed that
instructions in the CF documentation and from the technote and it
seems like I have the two servers communicating, but when I go to
perform an index, it fails.
If anyone has successfully seperated the servers, it would be
of great interested and help to me if you can shed any light on
this.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried just re-installing the CF8
Search server, but it still didn't work so I uninstalled it and
then reinstalled it. After that I was able to create the new
collections and finally, re-index the new collections. All seems
well for now. I have four more systems to recreate the collections
for and then re-index all of them.
This whole thing begs the questions:
1. How long is this installation going to survive?
2. Is this an indication of a very fragile product?
3. Are you and I the only ones having problems?
4. Are you and I the only ones using CF8 Verity?
5. Is Adobe aware of any problems with CF8 Verity?
6. Is there something wrong with my code that has worked
successfully with CF4, CF5 & CF6 now that I'm using CF8?
I’m sure there are other questions that should be asked
but I’m too tired and hungry to think about them right now.
Thanks again for your insight.

How to start Verity Search Service in Coldfusion with JBoSS on LINUX OS?

Hi,
On Windows, you may need to start the ColdFusion Search Server from the services control panel.
On Unix, you may need to run the search startup script in the ColdFusion bin directory.
The above is the error message we are getting it when we run Verity Search code.
The code which is actually working fine in Windows(Local Environment).
Its not working in our Client System, the configuration is Coldfusion 9.0 with JBoss installation on LINUX Operating System.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

service generally manages the lower level services on the system.
High level services such as Apache are managed via serveradmin:
serveradmin status web
serveradmin start web
