You can't read the info of a webp with CF, which was really disappointing for me. The solution for me was that I ran the site I needed to do this on, on Lucee instead, which worked exceptionally well and brought a few other advantages.. ... View more

Hi @Charlie Arehart As I moved the new platform to a server with Lucee I found that I didn't have to resolve the issue in ACF as it worked right out of the box with Lucee. ... View more

My solution looks like it's going to be Lucee set to write sessions to file, and POSSIBLY adding a cookie with tokens, so if the user goes away for a long time, then I can use the cookie(s) to log them back in and create a new session. If I user goes away for a reasonable amount of time, then I don't think it's the end of the earth for their session to restart, especially if I can do it automatically (at least in my case). If they choose log out, I kill the session and also remove the cookies. ... View more

oh, my bad on the link. Well they are all in here now 🙂   It's a little disappointing that Tomcat does not have this sorted out of the box, but at least when you know how, the fix is actually quite simple. ... View more

I was not sure if I should post about Lucee in an Adobe forum 🙂   I actually had a couple of links, as I ended up contributing to a thread that had already addressed the issue. I did add a summary to both of the threads, but the one to look at is probably this one as it has a lot of info from others prior to me, and how I ended up with my fix https://dev.lucee.org/t/performance-issue-with-lucee-ajp-and-iis/13390/19   I am looking forward to getting updates again!   I would have actually stuck with CF and purchased it if it was not so expensive.   ...

I've actually got another solution. as per the other thread I currently had open with the performance issues, I decided to try an install of Lucee. I didn't know that Lucee has the ability to write a session to file, so that would easily solve the problem. As it's also solved my speed issue and gets me away from the license costs of an upgrade of an old unsupported CF2016, I decided to go with Lucee.   The only thing I now have to give some thought to is whether I want to give the user the ability to stay logged in, so, if they don't return for a while and the session actually expires, use a token or two in the cookies to log them back in and create a new session. ...

Thanks for the input. It was several months ago I upgraded and I can't for the live of me remember if I managed to do it in-place, it looks like I did as my VM dashboard still thinks I am on Win2016. I have a recollation of some issues in upgrading but I can't remember what they were (I'd actually been very unwell with a serious condition and not long been out of hospital around the time so my memory is not great).    I didn't try a local load of the pages, but yes, reinstalling in a cloned server did seem to fix the problem, suggesting something somewhere had changed. I wish could remember the series of events, but I am going to guess that I'd managed to install over the Win2016 and it changed something, then when I reinstalled it, it puts it back.   If that is true then it's likely a matter of time before it happens again, mix in that CF2016 has not been updated for 3 years and was not designed for Win2022 and it does not seem like a great idea to keep it around any longer than I need to.   With that being said, I decided the best thing is to upgrade. Choice being pay the big bucks for a CF license, or try (again) to get Lucee up and running. I went for the latter and after a similar performance issue managed to get it working fine (although it won't work on one of my sites but that's another story).   So, I am going to forge ahead with Lucee and hope that will be the end of my trouble ...

Thanks Charlie, I shall roll up my sleeves and jump in feet first 🙂 I did look at a few Youtube videos but they were deep into the database side of things. Once I wrap up a couple of things I'll give it a go in a few days, what could possibly go wrong 😉 ... View more

Thanks for the reply Charlie. I've never used Redis and have zero knowledge of how it works. j2ee is already disabled so I'm good in that department   I did find a link from a couple of years ago that you replied to https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2022/03/trying-redis-coldfusion-caching/   I see the person that wrote the article used it remotely on AWS.   Ideally I'd install it locally on my own server. Reading it is says memory storage for sessions, so is it just another place to store them in memory and if that server was to be rebooted I'd be back to square one, or can it write to disk so  that when I reboot the server it can pick up again?   Are you aware of any documentation on how to install and config this on a CF server?   Thanks   ...

Hi @BKBK    I tried the code on my server, no graph https://www.aspirenet.com/chart.cfm   It works locally.   It charting something that has to be part of the install that perhaps I omitted when installing CF some years ago?     ... View more

No, I do have it running with a query, just for the example in this thread I slimmed it down. The code I posted is enough for me to see something is not working, on my local side I get an empty graph, on the server, the blank screen. ... View more

I appear to have come across another problem with my CFCHART. On my local server (CF2016 - Developer edition), it works fine, the graph displays. However on the server also CF2016, nothing, just a blank white screen.   I looked at the CF Administrator and the "Charting" settings are the same. I don't see anything else that is related to the charts.   Anybody have any ideas?   Thanks   ... View more

Thanks for the prompt feedback Charlie. This is good news. I expected or at least hoped that would be the answer, but I did worry, I was wondering if it loaded the template into memory but didn't execute it.   In that case my code is all good. I should have really thought about it before I changed to work this way.   ... View more

oh yes, I forgot about the bug report, I'll take care of that, although I'm on CF2016, so won't see a bug fix appear in my version 😞 ... View more

Many thanks for taking the time to provide the solution. It's going to be a feature I use all the time, so rather than a temp tweak, in my situation I'm best removing the 3D which is a shame. I just set it to NO for 3D and it display fine. Shame, the 3D does look better, but I think I'm best not messing with the configs. ... View more

As long as I put something within range I wouldn't have expected a round. I have it set at DECIMAL(8,2), if I put in 12.34  (manually) I get 12.34 . If I use CFQUERY to add 12.34 it also works, however if I used CFQUERYPARAM with the same value and I missed off the scale=2 then it appears something bad happens within CF. It's all good now I have the scale, I just need to make sure I never forget! ... View more

The goal was to be able to nderstand if somebody had not just started a download but also completed it. I incorrectly thought that this was possible on WeTransfer, but after retesting it found that it's increasing the download count once you make a request for the file from the server, you don't even have to hit SAVE.   I did read that IIS logs could help, with a code 200 or another code which I forget 20x to show if it was successful or not, but that turned out to be untrue, as soon as the browser gets that successful request, whether you hit save or not, you're getting the same success code.   My need is not great enough, but I think that the only way to stand a chance of having something successfully do this would be to have a an app dedicated to this, and that was the only way to download the file, then use the app to report back to the server that it has successfully completed, unfortunately that is not something I'm going to be able to do with this task. ...

Time flew by! I actually have more pressing need for this now, so picked it up again.   I tried the code that Ben created but couldn't seem to get it to do what I needed. As soon as I clicked on the download link and the browser came up with the window to save the file it and the thank you for downloading message immediately appears in the client.   Perhaps I am missing something https://www.bennadel.com/blog/2533-tracking-file-download-events-using-javascript-and-coldfusion.htm     https://www.bennadel.com/blog/2533-tracking-file-download-events-using-javascript-and-coldfusion.htm ...
