Images in multiserver environment

Report · Nov 23, 2009

Will <cfimage source="#myImage#" action="writeToBrowser"> work in a multiserver/distributed environment where the webserver is separated from the application server by a firewall with no file services between them?

Thank you.

Report · Nov 23, 2009

Distributed is not a problem. Clustered may be a problem if you don't use sticky sessions.

Ok, well now I'm trying to install it...

Web Server and App server - brand new OS setups

VM ware both servers

Windows 2008 64bit

IIS 7 (with all the recommended changes: ISAPI extensions and IIS 6 compatibility settings)

IIS and Website set up in webserver.

Coldfusion 9 64 bit

Installing CF on app server - iis not installed on app server.

When I get to the point where it asks me to add a web server/site, the drop down does not show IIS - just Apache and Sun.

Needless to say, it won't let me go any further until I define a site.

I'm stumped.

Thanks for your help!

Copy wsconfig.* from your CF server to your webserver and run it there. Then when it prompts, supply the hostname from the CF server.

Report · Dec 03, 2009

Say what?? I can't install CF so I can't copy anything, right?

Are you saying run CF on the webserver? Can't do that...

Report · Dec 03, 2009

Install CF on the app server without connecting it to a web server, copy wsconfig to the webserver, run wsconfig from the webserver.

Report · Dec 03, 2009

It won't let me finish an install without adding a web server.

Sorry about the duplicate. I noticed after I posted it that the original was for cfimage and I didn't expect to get my answer from that post. The other area was a better place to get the answer I needed. Not too happy to see it locked...

Report · Dec 03, 2009

Sure it will let you finish. Just select te builtin webserver.

Report · Dec 03, 2009

So this is the only way around this issue?

Report · Dec 03, 2009

does it matter where I copy wsconfig.* to??

Report · Dec 03, 2009

No. But it is a best practice to use the default paths. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Installing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cdec18a15-7ffb.html#WSf01dbd23413dda0e325f619f11fae41e1b4-8000

Report · Dec 04, 2009

I got past the installing C++ runtime on the webserver so that I could run wsconfig. Now am faced with it not connecting to jrun/coldfusion server when I put in the app server ip. I've done some searching and found most of these issues involving apache not IIS. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Try connecting manually to verify there are no firewalls blocking the traffic.

On the CF server, you have an admin console running on port 8300. So log on on the machine and go to http://localhost:8300/ Then log on to the administrator and check the prot numbers for all your instances (in the instance manager).

Then log on to the webserver and try to telnet to those ports from there. Does that work?

Report · Dec 04, 2009

Telnet was not really providing me with the answers I was looking for - but I was able to bring up the

CF admin on the web server. Does that answer your question?

Thanks.

Report · Dec 04, 2009

After I brought up the CF admin page in my brower on the webserver, I was able to find the app server in wsconfig.

Report · Dec 04, 2009

So all is good now?

Report · Dec 04, 2009

I wish...

When I try to bring up a cfm page I get

The service is unavailable.

Server Error

Either the Macromedia application server(s) are unreachable or none of them has a mapping to process this request.

Report · Dec 04, 2009

On your webserver, go to the appropriate subfolder under the wsconfig folder and in the .ini file enable verbose logging. Then shut down the webservice, remove the old log file and start the webservice and try again. If it still doesn't work, what does the logfile say?

Thanks so much for your help!

This is the log file - I replaced ip with 99.999:

On your ColdFusion server you have a file named web.xml in the WEB-INF folder. Does it have XML nodes named servlet-mapping with a *.cfm in them? In case you have multiple web.xml files, check the one that is in the ColdFusion server that listens to 99.999.78.97:51001.

It's a real life mystery!

Thanks!

You can say that again. Even when I build a mock similar to yours I can

not replicate the issue you have. Which command did you use to run wsconfig?

Report · Dec 10, 2009

Oh... you would not believe, but maybe you would.

I noticed the connector I created was jrun so I tried to remove it. It would not remove. I added another to the same IP address and made it a cfusion connector. That did not help. I tried to remove both but I couldn't. Kinda figured it was a permissions issue but by that time it was so messed up I called CF support since I was supposed to be done with this a week ago. Spent quite a bit of time with them and ended up just restoring the webserver to get rid of the connector and reinstalling CF with them.

Now we are trying to run the wsconfig.jar on the webserver and getting the infamous side by side error. So I installed the C++ runtime from the CF install and had our administrator try to run it and he got the same results.

Also ran into a problem trying to download 64bit java from Sun. It just would not let me do that since I was trying to do it from a 32bit pc. Server of course is locked down. CF support just had me use the 32 bit on the webserver.

Thanks for helping me with this!

After the restore, I created the connector using the wsconfig as you suggested and it worked perfectly! Between that and a tweak to point CF to using another folder for the website documents, I was up and running!

To summarize:

1. Installed on the webserver the C++ redistributable package(only) from the Coldfusion install exe

2. created jrun4 folder on webserver

3. copied jrun4\bin \lib and \jre to webserver\jrun4

4. clicked jrun2\bin\wsconfig.exe

5. entered ip address of app server

6. changed admin to cfusion for type (this is where I went wrong before)

7. select the website

8. Clicked Configure web server for ColdFusion 9 applications option

low and behold I had a connector!

Also, the firewall is not up but we are passing images in memory between app and web server worked beautifully!

Thanks for your advice and help!
