cfexecute - bat file issues
Okay,
Since I am now frustrated with what should be simplicity, here is my current diemma.
I have a simply batch file to convert flv's froan FMS 2 server. I want to pass a name and have an SDK convert it to mp3. Everything works fine until I attempt the cfexecute on the batch file. I hard coded the file to test it, and then I will pass variables later.
//Batch file:
CD \
CD Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server 2\sdk
conv.exe ..\applications\elearning\streams\audio\myfile.flv -out H:system\podcasts\mp3\myfile.mp3 -vf mp3 -abr 96000 -asr 44100
//end bacth file
This simply goes to the c: drive, then changes to the appropriate directory. once here execute conversion. (Setup this way for UNC mapping security, batch file exists away from exe) This works flawlessly on the server.
// CFM test page
<cftry>
<cfexecute name="\\192.168.1.1\sdk\tester.bat"
arguments="myfile"
variable="data"
timeout="2">
</cfexecute>
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfoutput>#cfcatch.Detail#</cfoutput><br>
</cfcatch>
</cftry><br><br>
<cfoutput>#data#</cfoutput>
//End cfm page
Now the only thing I see here that is problematic is that it is a mapped to the FMS server. I have run CMD commands fine for other stuff VIA UNC before, but never a bat file. Could this be the issue?
This is what data returns:
// start data variable:
C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\bin>CD \
C:\>CD Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server 2\sdk
C:\>flvtovideo ..\applications\elearning\streams\audio\myfile.flv -out H:faculty\podcasts\mp3\myfile.mp3 -vf mp3 -abr 96000 -asr 44100
//end data variable
It appears it cannot get to the correct directory to run the conv.exe. Using Server 2003 CF7, connecting VIA UNC to Server 2003, FMS 2. Using A/D both systems running as domain admin, as with CF7 services.
Why does it not accept the second CD?
Could it be the bat file?
Why does it start in the CFusionMX7\runtime\bin directory?
Any suggestion appreaciated, I am no way shape or form a bat guru.
Thanks
