Local Copy of CF10 Documentation

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 05:34:04 GMT

Hi,

When I installed CF10, I selected the option in the installer to install the documentation. However I cannot see any sign of it on my PC.

Where does it put it? I realise I can access it online, but I have always found it much more efficient to have an offline copy running on my local server.

Alternatively, is it possible to download the docs as a zip file and install them locally?

Regards,

Andrew.

CF10 Multiserver - Create windows service

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:43:23 GMT

Hi,

I've installed ColdFusion 10 on my development machine (Windows 7 64bit) and yesterday created a new server instance in CF10 using the "Enterprise Manager" in the ColdFusion Administrator. During the creation of this new instance, I didn't check the checkbox to create a Windows service.

Now, I've changed my mind and would like to have a Windows service for this new instance, however I can't figure out how to do it.

I expect you use the coldfusionsvc.exe for this, however I am not having any success with it. What parameters do I need to pass to this to make it work? The -h option gives the following, but I can't understand what I need to put for <jrun-server>:

c:\ColdFusion10\nws\bin>coldfusionsvc.exe -h

Usage: coldfusionsvc

-install [-norestart] <jrun-server> [service-name [service-display [service-description]]] [-<jrun-option>...]

or -remove service-name

or -start service-name

or -starttimeout <seconds> service-name

or -stop service-name

or -stoptimeout <seconds> service-name

or -logfilesize <no_of_kbs> service-name

or -logfileRotationLimit <no_of_files> service-name

or -status service-name

or -console service-name [-<jrun-option>...]

If I try something like this, I get an error:

c:\ColdFusion10\nws\bin>coldfusionsvc.exe -install nws "cf10-nsw" "ColdFusion 10 - NWS Instance"

CreateService failed with error status 123

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Many thanks,

Andrew.

Help with buttons in AS3

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 15 May 2009 07:23:46 GMT

Hi Folks,

I'm stuck with a simple flash movie I need to create in which two images fade in and fade out, and each of them must be clickable and hyperlink to a separate URL.

I've got the fading going okay, but I cannot for the life of me get even a single button to work on it.

If it's helpful I can send along what I've got so far. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Andrew.

Using skins with the List component

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 12:43:23 GMT

Hi,

I've followed the excellent tutorial at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_playlist.html and am trying to customise the "no thumbnails" example contained within.

When it comes to skinning the list component (I found this other tutorial on that - http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Liv eDocs_Parts&file=00000523.html) I am finding some of the Cell Renderer skins just don't want to change colour no matter what I try (in paritcular "Over_skin" and "Selected_over").

Has anyone encountered this before and would be willing to point me in the right direction as to what I might be doing wrong?

Many thanks,
Andrew.

Component in Application Scope and cflock

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 11:29:01 GMT

Hi,

I have an CFC that I set in application scope in the onApplicationStart method which contains some system parameters, one of which is a flag saying whether the site is currently "Online". I call a method on this CFC in the Application.cfc "onRequest" method to see if the flag value has changed.

This method looks up a parameter set in the database that says whether the site is "online" or "offline". If the site is currently online, I want to only redo the query every 5 mins. However if the site is offline, I want to check more frequently (every 5 secs) as to whether the flag has changed back.

What I am not sure of, is whether I need to be using <cflock> when I change from "online" to "offline"? There is only a single instance of this object, but what happens if multiple requests are calling the "isSiteOnline" method simultaneously? Is this "safe"?

Some code snippets are attached to illustrate.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Andrew.

CF8 Install asking to "Insert New Media"

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 06:10:10 GMT

I'm just trying to install CF8 developer edition on my Windows XP Pro PC from the file Coldfusion-8-win.exe which I downloaded from the Adobe website earlier today.

During the install process I got a popup window asking me to "Insert New Media". A screenshot is available here:

I'm not sure what media it's asking for? Please help! :)

CF7 - Verity and PDF indexing - special characters

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 13:09:07 GMT

I'm having some problems with "unusual" characters appearing in my search results when I index a PDF with verity on ColdFusion 7 on a Unix server.

As an example here is a screenshot of what I mean:

Screenshot - on Unix server

However executing the same code on CF7 under windows gives the "correct" result:

Screenshot - on Windows PC

The code which creates the collection and calls cfindex is attached below (windows version - the unix code is identical apart from the paths).

Has anyone got a solution that will make this work correctly on Unix?

Difficulty Downloading CF 7 for linux

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:02:06 GMT

I have been trying to download CF 7 for linux (developer edition) for the last few days but am having no luck. If I use Firefox it appears to be downloading successfully but once it gets to 100% it then pops up an error message (my apologies I don't have the exact wording - I don't really want to download the 280MB again to see it :))

I have also tried in Internet Explorer but IE stops responding when I choose the version from the dropdown list and press the download button.

Has anyone else had this problem? Are there any other ways to obtain the file, such as FTP?

Thanks,
Andrew.

cfcache - timespan being ignored?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 03:37:02 GMT

Hi,

I've having some problems with the cfcache tag, using Coldfusion MX 6.

My code looks like this:

<cfcache action="cache" timespan="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,10,0)#">

<cfset timeNow = now()>


.....

If I understand the doco correctly, this should cache the page for 10 minutes.

However, if I view the source page the "time generated" that I have output in the comment is currently 40 minutes old - indicating to me that the cache hasn't been "flushed" after the 10 mins as expected.

I'm not sure where the problem could be. Is my code correct? Or is there some server configuration I need to check?

Thanks,
Andrew.

Secure area - non cfm file

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 00:08:57 GMT

Hi,

I need to create a secure area for my website which contains a mix of both .cfm and .html files.

I've read the docs and some previous forum posts about using the <cflogin> tag however this only seems to deny access to the .cfm files in that area of the site.

Is there a way to secure the .html files other than using the web server's HTTP authentication? Or is that the only option available?

Many thanks,
Andrew.

Indexing PDFs - Coldfusion 6.1 on Solaris

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 08 May 2006 06:09:04 GMT

I have an issue which I believe is similar but not identical to the following - http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_18517

Where I'm confused is that I believe I'm using the workaround as described in the above technote - ie. i have set extension=".pdf":

Here's an example of the code I'm calling:

<cfindex
collection="Master"
action="update"
type="path"
key="/path/to/pdfs"
urlpath="/pdfs"
recurse="no"
extensions=".pdf" >

I thought it might have something to do with some of the pdfs being encrypted but I am not certain (I retried without the ones that I thought were encrypted and still got the error). This is all that appears in the cfserver.log:

Server default ready (startup time: 8 seconds)
java.lang.NullPointerException

What am I doing wrong? Or is indexing PDFs in CF 6.1 not a good idea?

Any help much appreciated.
