Message from SafariTECH Most recent post: 10/26/2007 3 authors and 5 replies. Just curious as to why there is a ColdFusion ODBC Server that is run be default? I thought it was necessary to run this to use data connections with ColdFusion but it turns out all of our sites run 100-fold faster and better with the darn thing turned off and there is no issue connecting to data sources!? So why is it there at all? Just curious more than anything. read more about ColdFusion ODBC Server (CF7)
Message from rocketzandco Most recent post: 10/26/2007 3 authors and 9 replies. We've recently upgraded from CF7 to CF8. We downloaded the trial version and then purchased the license. Twice, the service has crashed (within 1 week). The error was essentially: windows cannot start service Cold Fusion 8 Administrator Server. If this is a non-Microsoft application, contact the Vendor. Error Code 2 We've tried everything from clearing space on the server, to restarting multiple times. The only thing that has seemed to work (t emporarily) is a re-install. However, it seems to be a temporary fix. We've never had this issue until after the upgrade. We've been experiencing severe down time due to this issue. read more about Cold Fusion 8 Service unable to restart
Message from joechristopher Most recent post: 10/26/2007 2 authors and 14 replies. Hi, I'm running ColdFusion MX7 Standard and I have installed Verity and verified that it is running as a service (same computer), however, when I go into the ColdFusion Administrator, and click on Data & Services > Verity Collections, I get a message that says: You must configure your application server to enable Verity. For instructions, see "Installing and Using Cold Fusion MX." I have reinstalled Verity and searched endlessly for technotes related to this and haven't been able to resolve this issue. Anyone have any recommendations outside of a complete ColdFusion reinstall. I have a ton of datasources and custom tags and such that'd be a pain to reinstall.

Message from Daveline Most recent post: 10/25/2007 5 authors and 13 replies. I have read all of the documentation for how to upgrade from ColdFusion 7.02 to ColdFusion 8. Well there is actually only one blurb in all of the ColdFusion docs. "Upgrade installation You can upgrade from Cold Fusion MX, Cold Fusion MX 6.1, and Cold Fusion MX 7. When upgrading from Cold Fusion MX, Cold Fusion MX 6.1, or Cold Fusion MX 7, the installer preserves the existing settings and installs in a new directory, automatically assigning ports that don't conflict with the existing installation." OK that sounds simple enough, so I went ahead and installed it. Well it did not work, now I am stuck somewhere between 7 and 8. My basic step, as I can best recall at 1:00AM. * Select Multi server Configuration * Select install path, I used D:\JRun4 * This is where my existing cf7 install was located * installer told me port 8300 was being used so it gave me port 8306 instead * Selected d: for Cold Fusion8DotNetService install path * Select Passwords for admin and rds * installed CF * received error after install (Adobe_Cold Fusion_8_InstallLog.log) ANT Script Error: Status: ERROR Additional Notes: ERROR - jrun.xmlUnable to remove existing file D:\JRun4\bin\jrun.exe * rebooted * can not login to CFADMIN at port 8306 * tried to login to CFADMIN at port 8300, everythin works * it appears the cf7 services are still running, read more about What are the recommended steps to upgrade from CF7 toCF8

Basically, the Cold Fusion page does not always load up properly. The page ends after displaying an improperly formatted menu (using CFMENU tag) and a JAVAscript error appears. It varies between "Ext not found" or "Cold Fusion not found" - basically indicating certain JS libraries didn't get loaded properly. This only happens occasionally and randomly and more often with IE6 than IE7. We are running CF8 (with update) on Linux, Apache over SSL.

Message from jalehman Most recent post: 10/24/2007 3 authors and 4 replies. I have CFMX 7.2 running on a server using the external web server, IIS6. I have installed CF8 in the multiserver configuration onto the same server. What I read is that for these to coexist the CF8 needs to be installed on the built-in web server (also what ColdFusion apparently automatically does when the multiserver configuration is installed). One of my questions is this - if I have CF7 using the external web server can I NOT run the web configuration tool and connect my CF8 instances to the external web server also? Another question is this - CF8 uses the webroot of jrun4\servers\instancename\instance-ear\instance-war . I want the developers to store their documents somewhere else. I have done the virtual mapping in the jrun-web.xml but I can not get anything to work when I do that.

Message from jarviswabi Most recent post: 10/18/2007 2 authors and 2 replies. We have had our production intranet running on CFMX 6.1 (6,1,0,hf53852_61) for about 3 years now. In the last few weeks, we have been noticing a higher incidence of spontaneous restarts of the ColdFusion service (maybe 3-4 times per week), but there's no indication in the JRUN or ColdFusion logs of why the service is restarting. We use SeeFusion to monitor JVM memory usage and active requests, and memory is never an issue at the time of the restarts, and there are no "chunky" jobs running at the time either. Are there any other known reasons for the CFMX service to restart itself, or any place else I should be looking for clues? My only response to my boss right now is that I hope when we upgrade to CF8 this year, the problem will go away (and be replaced by a new one). read more about Random CFMX 6.1 Restarts

Message from KellyB947 Most recent post: 10/15/2007 2 authors and 4 replies. I need some clarification on the topic of sessions ending upon closing of a browser. Here's my situation: I have a web-based terminal emulator to gain access to the mainframe application. From this web-based emulator, I am invoking a web application. Once I do this, I have two separate windows open (two separate sessions?). Once I close my web application (but keep open the web-based terminal emulator), I am assuming that the session ends for that application. I find that this isn't true because if I go into it about an hour later, I automatically get timed out (timeout in my application is 15 minutes). I read in documentation that if the j2ee Session Variables check box is checked that the session variables will expire whenever the user closes their browser, or when the session timeout period elapes (whichever comes first). My question is: do I have to have all browser sessions closed to expire my session variables? If so, that'd be the reason why I am still timing out once I go back into an application that's been closed for a while. Can someone confirm this? Any help'd be greatly appreciated.

Message from Al Baker Most recent post: 10/13/2007 4 authors and 13 replies. I have two web servers on which I want to host a single web site using Cold Fusion 8 clustering. Both servers are running Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise: Web1, among other things a domain controller with its own IP, plus an IP for the website. Web2, the secondary domain controller with its own IP, plus an IP for the website. This is four different IPs. I have already defined a Cold Fusion 8 instance on each server and on Web1 I have created a cluster of the two instances. I am using DFS replication to keep the images of the web site the same on both servers. (As an aside, the website needs an SSL cert.) I have seen no documentation covering this, which is supposed to be simpler with Cold Fusion 8. 1) Is the correct solution to somehow define a single IP for the website that exists on both servers? 1a) If so, is there anything I need to tell my hosting service when asking for this hardware? 1b) Once available, is there anything I need to do to prep it for use? 2) If I can not use a single IP, then IIS 6 on each server will have its own IP for the website, which IP do I use for the website in DNS?

Message from mmrvistagrande Most recent post: 10/8/2007 4 authors and 5 replies. Can someone point me at documentation, white paper, benchmark testing results or other information that'd be useful for determining practical resource requirements when considering deployment with multiple server instances? The white paper "Multiple server instances in Cold Fusion 8 Enterprise Edition", (http://www.adobe.com/products/Cold Fusion/pdfs/cf8_multiple_instances_wp.pdf) describes the needed approach, but doesn't provide any clues as to reasonable expectation as to the number of instances that could be deployed. The diagrams used to illustrate the approach show three instances. No clue there for memory or CPU resources involved in this sort of scaling. Is ten reasonable for number of server instances on a single box? What about 50 or more? Are there resource requirements or other limitations which mandate practical limits for scaling that will essentially determine the maximum?

Message from pw7314 Most recent post: 10/8/2007 2 authors and 2 replies. We are in the process of migrating from CF6.1 to CF8. We are running in a Redhat linux environment. I created a car file in CF6.1 and then on the new server deployed the file. The message at the end of the deployment indicated it was successful, although there were a number of error messages that appeared during the deployment that I haven't analyzed yet. However, reading closely in the documentation I see the following Cold Fusion 8 doesn't unpack archives created in previous versions of Cold Fusion. When you migrate from a previous version of Cold Fusion to Cold Fusion 8 and then create a CAR file, if you customized the log directory setting, it isn't included in the archive. Now surely this must be some type of typo, or it isn't exactly describing the situation. I'd find it difficult to believe that Adobe wouldn't provide a seamless migration to upgrades in the software.

Our SQL Server is set to use Windows authentication only (Kerberos-based authentication). The error above happens when a stored procedure needs to query a table from another server (linked server). We've loaded the latest DataDirect JDBC drivers (3.5) http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=42dcb10a&sliceId=2 Is there an updated driver or a service pack available (3.7 perhaps)? Does anybody have any ideas? Thank you in advanced. read more about Does CFMX 7 support SQL SERVER 2005?

Message from webappersh Most recent post: 10/4/2007 3 authors and 3 replies. I'm trying to get 7.0.2 running on any 1.5 jdk, with limited success. The steps I took are: 1. stop ColdFusion services 2. install 1.5 3. install JRun4 updater (6) into cfusionmx7/runtime 4. modify jvm.config to point to the 1.5 jre 5. restart ColdFusion Everything appears to work except for my flex2gateway calls, which fails with: 500 JAVA.lang.NullPointerException at jrun.servlet.JRunRequestDispatcher.invoke(JRunRequestDispatcher.JAVA:258) at jrun.servlet.ServletEngineService.dispatch(ServletEngineService.JAVA:541) at jrun.servlet.jrpp.JRunProxyService.invokeRunnable(JRunProxyService.JAVA:204) at jrunx.scheduler.ThreadPool$DownstreamMetrics.invokeRunnable(ThreadPool.JAVA:320) at jrunx.scheduler.ThreadPool$ThreadThrottle.invokeRunnable(ThreadPool.JAVA:428) at jrunx.scheduler.ThreadPool$UpstreamMetrics.invokeRunnable(ThreadPool.JAVA:266) at jrunx.scheduler.WorkerThread.run(WorkerThread.JAVA:66) Any ideas? read more about 7.0.2 on JAVA 1.5
Message from Howco Most recent post: 10/3/2007 2 authors and 2 replies. I am having problems with a ColdFusion server on windows. When I attempt to use flash forms or almost any other type of form that is new on the server I get a dialog that asks for a password. Example http://hauntworld.com/flash_form.CFM I have no idea why this is doing this, or how to change it. There is no security set up for the directory and you can actually just continually click on cancel and eventually it'll show the form and the form behaves like it should. If I remove all the form code the server doesn't ask for a password. I have access to the server but didn't set it up and am very wary of messing around with it unless I know what I?m doing. And at the moment I don?t. Any help'd be appreciated. http://hauntworld.com/flash_form.CFM read more about Windows authentication problem

Message from dbeck Most recent post: 10/2/2007 2 authors and 3 replies. This is really an odd one. I just installed ColdFusion 8. I have been running the monitor to see how things are performing. I noticed a really odd error happening. Somehow, some standard HTML from the web page is finding its way into the URL string that is passed to the next page when a link is clicked. There is absolutely no way that this html is being set as a variable anywhere. There is no code in the template that should cause the HTML to appear on the URL string. Yet its there. We do have an app that does server-wide GZIP compression. I thought perhaps it was corrupting the page somehow. I shut that off but it did not correct the problem. I ran an HTML validator to see if perhaps there was a quote missing somewhere that caused this oddity, but no dice. At this point, I really think its some kind of bug that happens in memory when the page is being rendered. Has anyone else ran into anything like this? read more about Rogue HTML appearing in URL strings

Message from vvsvvs Most recent post: 10/1/2007 3 authors and 6 replies. I recently read that in addition to Localhost, the development version of ColdFusion will now allow access via 2 client machines. I am running MX7 using the built in webserver, and'd like to be able to test on a second machine. Both machines are hooked up to the internet via a DSL router and have XP Pro. I thought it'd be as easy as just putting the IP address of the machine with ColdFusion installed on it (w/:8500 appended) into a browser on the second machine, but when I do so, I get "internet explorer cannot display the web page". I figure there must be some little thing I'm missing somewhere -- firewall settings? (I use the Windows XP Pro builtin) file sharing settings? preferences in IE somewhere? Any help'd be most appreciated! read more about Cold Fusion over a home network?
