<div>This article explains how to use the HTTP Redirect section in IIS 7 and above.<br />
<br />
==What is it for==<br />
<br />
The HTTP Redirect section is used to do one of the following:<br />
<br />
*Redirect a file to a different file, to a different folder, or to a different site.<br />
*Redirect a directory to a file within a different directory, to a different directory, or to a different site.<br />
*Redirect a site to a different site<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Bottom line''', if you have content that has been moved, and you want to redirect users to the new location of the content, this is a good tool to use.<br />
<br />
==What it is not for==<br />
<br />
The HTTP Redirect section is '''not''' ideal for doing any of the following:<br />
<br />
*It is not for redirecting from "http://domainname.com" to "http://www.domainname.com"<br />
*It is not for redirecting from "http" to "https" or vice versa<br />
*It is not for creating SEO friendly URLs<br />
<br />
<br />
For all of the above, the proper tools to use are '''"IIS Rewrite"''' or '''"ISAPI_Rewrite"'''<br />
<br />
==Configuring through IIS Manager GUI==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to configure HTTP Redirects directly through the IIS Manager GUI.'''<br />
<br />
* Within '''IIS Manager''', choose the specific site, directory, or file you would like to redirect using the 'Sites' tree-menu. For selecting files, you will need to choose the containing folder, select''' 'Content View' '''toward the bottom of the window, select the specific file, and click''' 'Switch to Features View' '''.<br />
* Choose '''HTTP Redirect'''<br />
* Configure the following options:<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Redirect requests to this destination'''<br />
**Checking this option enables the HTTP Redirect<br />
*'''Destination Box (The text box immediately below the above option)'''<br />
** Allows you to specify the destination of the redirect<br />
<br />
'''Redirect Behavior:'''<br />
*'''Redirect all requests to the exact destination (instead of relative to destination)'''<br />
**When this option is checked, browsers will be redirect to the exact URL that was entered in the 'Destination Box' regardless of the original URL.<br />
**When this option is unchecked, the relative path underneath the redirected site or folder will be maintained at the destination.<br />
*'''Only redirect requests to content in this directory (not subdirectories)'''<br />
**Checking this option when setting the redirect on a directory will only redirect traffic within the specific directory. Traffic going to sub-directories will not be redirected.<br />
**Leaving this option unchecked will redirect both the current directory and all sub-directories.<br />
*'''Status Code'''<br />
**Found (302) - Use this option if the redirect is only temporary. Browsers will not cache the redirect and search engines will continue attempting to index the source.<br />
**Permanent (301) - Use this option if the redirect is permanent. Browsers will cache the redirect and search engines will stop indexing the source and index the destination instead.<br />
**Temporary (307) - Use this option if the redirect is only temporary, and you want POST data to be redirected to the destination.<br />
<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
<br />
* Click''' 'Apply' '''.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Configuring directly in web.config file==<br />
<br />
<br />
On shared servers, you may not have access to the IIS Manager GUI. In these cases, you can configure the redirect within the control panel '''(IIS Settings => URL Forwarding)''' or by directory creating/modifying a''' 'web.config' '''file on your site. Below is how to configure the web.config file:<br />
<br />
The following is an example of the''' 'httpRedirect' '''configuration section:<br />
<configuration><br />
<system.webServer><br />
<httpRedirect enabled="true" destination="http://www.domainname.com/" exactDestination="false" httpResponseStatus="Permanent" /><br />
</system.webServer><br />
</configuration><br />
<br />
The options are the same as those when using the GUI to configure the redirect (see GUI details above). If you want the section to affect only a particular file or sub-directory, use the 'location' tag to specify the location that this configuration section should affect. Example:<br />
<br />
<configuration><br />
<location path="OldPage.html"><br />
<system.webServer><br />
<httpRedirect enabled="true" destination="NewPage.html" exactDestination="true" httpResponseStatus="Permanent" /><br />
</system.webServer><br />
</location><br />
</configuration><br />
<br />
<br />
==Importing htaccess rules into Web.Config==<br />
<br />
*Access IIS then access the site in question.<br />
*Acess the URL Rewrite Icon.<br />
*On the right side click Import.<br />
*Select your .htaccess file or text file in question to import.<br />
<br />
# BEGIN WordPress<br />
#Options +Followsymlinks<br />
RewriteEngine On<br />
RewriteBase /<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br />
RewriteRule . /index.php [NC,L]<br />
# END WordPress<br />
<br />
*Click confirm.<br />
<br />
'''Please Note:''' In some cases you may need to tweak the rules for formatting which it will give an error indication.<br/><br />
End Result of the web.config file:<br />
<br />
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br />
<configuration><br />
<system.webServer><br />
<rewrite><br />
<rules><br />
<rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax="Wildcard"><br />
<match url="*" /><br />
<conditions><br />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /><br />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /><br />
</conditions><br />
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" /><br />
</rule><br />
</rules><br />
</rewrite><br />
</system.webServer><br />
</configuration><br />

==What is RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol)==<br />
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft, which provides a user with a graphical interface to connect to another computer over a network connection.<br />
<br />
<br />
==How to connect to RDP with Windows PC==<br />
Two of the more common options.<br />
# Using mRemote or mRemoteNG (great for managing multiple servers)<br />
# Start > Run: MSTSC<br />
<br />
==How to connect to RDP with Mac==<br />
A nice RDP solution for the Mac is Cord. Very similar to mRemote, allowing you to manage multiple servers.<br />
<br />
==How to connect to RDP with Phone or Tablet==<br />
There's a few apps that handle RDP. One that is common is iTap RDP for iPhone/iPad.<br />
<br />
==How to Connect to RDP with TLS 1.0 Disabled ==<br />
With tls 1.0 disabled on a server you will not be able to use Windows Remote Desktop Client to connect.<br />
<br />
#mRemoteNG (Windows)<br />
#*In the config settings '''Use CredSSP''' will need changed to '''OFF'''.<br />
#Remmina (Linux)<br />
#*In the Advanced Tab change the Security from Negotiate to RDP.<br />
<br />
==How to lock down RDP on your VPS to just your IP==<br />
#Within the control panel (WCP), from the top menu choose Account VPS Manager. <br />
#Select Firewall Management<br />
#Find Remote Desktop and click the Edit pencil icon<br />
#Set the Port Status to Restricted<br />
#Enter the IP's you want to allow (by default, the system recognized your current IP and enters it for you)<br />
#Click Save<br />
#NOTE: If you are traveling and need temp access to a different IP, just repeat the above steps for the new IP.<br />
<br />
==View what IP addresses have accessed Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) ==<br />
<br />
In order to see what IPs have accessed your Windows VPS via RDP, please follow the following instructions:<br />
<br />
#Click on Start --> Administrative Tools<br />
#Select Event Viewer and open it<br />
#Expand Applications and Services Logs<br />
#Expand Microsoft<br />
#Expand Windows<br />
#Expand TerminalServices-LocalSessionManager<br />
#In the viewing pane, double click on Operational<br />
<br />
<br />
Each information entry is a connection, reconnection, or disconnection and the IP is logged<br />

<hr />
<div>==Converting Application.cfm to Application.cfc==<br />
Using an '''Application.cfc''' configuration file offers some advantages over the older style '''Application.cfm''' configuration files. Some of the main features that an Application.cfc file give you are "functions triggered by Application, Session, Request, and Error events" and "Application-Level Mappings and Custom Tag Paths".<br />
<br />
There are only a few steps required to convert an application to use an Application.cfc file:<br />
<br />
NOTE: You should ensure that you have a backup of any files before making changes to them.<br />
<br />
===Create an '''Application.cfc''' file===<br />
<br />
Below is an example '''Application.cfc''' file with the minimum requirements:<br />
<pre><br />
<cfcomponent><br />
<cfscript><br />
this.name = hash( getCurrentTemplatePath() ); // unique app name<br />
</cfscript><br />
</cfcomponent><br />
</pre><br />
Setup '''onRequest''' function in '''Application.cfc''' to include the '''Application.cfm''' file<br />
<br />
This step is only necessary if an Application.cfm file already exists in the root of the application. Below is what the Application.cfc file will look like after this addition:<br />
<pre><br />
<cfcomponent><br />
<cfscript><br />
this.name = hash( getCurrentTemplatePath() ); // unique app name<br />
</cfscript><br />
<br />
<cffunction name="onRequest" returnType="void"><br />
<cfargument name="targetPage" type="string" required="true" /><br />
<br />
<!--- Include Application.cfm ---><br />
<cfinclude template="Application.cfm" /><br />
<br />
<!--- Include the requested page ---><br />
<cfinclude template="#ARGUMENTS.targetPage#" /><br />
</cffunction><br />
</cfcomponent><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
===Copy application settings from the '''cfapplication''' tag and remove the '''cfapplication''' tag===<br />
<br />
This step is only necessary if a cfapplication tag is used within the application. Each attribute of the cfapplication tag will need to be copied into the cfscript section at the top of the Application.cfc with the pattern [this.attributeName = "value";].<br />
<br />
For example. The below cfapplication tag would be converted into our Application.cfc example as follows:<br />
<br />
'''cfapplication''' tag:<br />
<pre><br />
<cfapplication<br />
name = "my_app_name"<br />
sessionManagement = "Yes"<br />
sessionTimeout = "#createTimeSpan(0,0,20,0)#"<br />
setClientCookies = "Yes"><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
'''Application.cfc''':<br />
<pre><br />
<cfcomponent><br />
<cfscript><br />
this.name = "my_app_name"; // app name from old cfapplication tag<br />
this.sessionManagement = "Yes";<br />
this.sessionTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,20,0);<br />
this.setClientCookies = "Yes";<br />
</cfscript><br />
<br />
<cffunction name="onRequest" returnType="void"><br />
<cfargument name="targetPage" type="string" required="true" /><br />
<br />
<!--- Include Application.cfm ---><br />
<cfinclude template="Application.cfm" /><br />
<br />
<!--- Include the requested page ---><br />
<cfinclude template="#ARGUMENTS.targetPage#" /><br />
</cffunction><br />
</cfcomponent><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': Do not forget to remove the '''cfapplication''' tag after copying the settings into the '''Application.cfc''' file.<br />
<br />
Now that the change is complete, this is a good time to test the application to ensure everything is working correctly with the new setup.<br />
<br />
==CFHTTP Connection Failures over HTTPS==<br />
===Shared Hosting===<br />
If you try to use <cfhttp> to connect to a secure site (over HTTPS), you may receive the following error: "Connection Failure: Status code unavailable"<br />
<br />
To fix this add the following code to your site's "Application.cfm" file (below the 'cfapplication' tag):<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"><br />
<!--- fix for HTTPS connection failures ---><br />
<cfif NOT isDefined("Application.sslfix")><br />
<cfset objSecurity = createObject("java", "java.security.Security") /><br />
<cfset objSecurity.removeProvider("JsafeJCE") /><br />
<cfset Application.sslfix = true /><br />
</cfif><br />
</pre><br />
If your site uses an "Application.cfc" file instead, then just place that code in the "'onApplicationStart()" method of that file. After making that adjustment you'll need to restart your ColdFusion application as [[ColdFusion_Tips_%26_Tricks#Restart_a_ColdFusion_Application|shown here]].<br />
===VPS Hosting===<br />
If you are having issues connecting to a site or file from with ColdFusion over HTTPS, you can import the remote site's SSL certificate into the the Java SSL Certificate Store used by ColdFusion.<br />
<br />
1)Set Java environment<br />
C:\ColdFusion10\jre>set JAVA_HOME=c:\coldfusion10\jre<br />
C:\ColdFusion10\jre>set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin<br />
<br />
2)List what in in keystore<br />
keytool -list -storepass changeit -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts<br />
Keystore type: JKS<br />
Keystore provider: SUN<br />
Your keystore contains 76 entries<br />
<br />
3)Import certificate in to keystore and list to check added.<br />
keytool -importcert -storepass changeit -alias inet -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts -trustcacerts -file c:\temp\inet.cer<br />
Trust this certificate? [no]: y<br />
Certificate was added to keystore<br />
<br />
keytool -list -storepass changeit -keystore ../lib/security/cacerts<br />
Keystore type: JKS<br />
Keystore provider: SUN<br />
Your keystore contains 77 entries<br />
<br />
4)Restart CF10 app service so keystore is re-read.<br />
<br />
5)Run your cfhttp request - HTTPS works now!<br />
<br />
==CFMAIL Multi-Part Emails==<br />
Sending emails with both Text and HTML parts helps reduce the chance of your messages getting caught by a mail server's spam filter. It also helps ensure your recipients can read the message regardless of the mail client being used. The easiest way to do this is to store your message in a variable using <cfsavecontent> then adding it to <cfmail> using <cfmailpart> as shown in the example below:<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"><br />
<!--- Store your message in a variable ---><br />
<cfsavecontent variable="myemailcontent"><br />
Hello,<br />
<br />
This is some plain text. <br /><br />
<b>And this is some more text in HTML. It will appear in plain-text for anyone who views the Text part of this email, though.</b><br />
</cfsavecontent><br />
<br />
<!--- Function to strip HTML from message while preserving line breaks ---><br />
<cffunction name= "textMessage" access= "public" returntype= "string" hint= "Converts an html email message into a nicely formatted with line breaks plain text message"><br />
<cfargument name= "string" required= "true" type= "string"><br />
<cfscript><br />
var pattern = " <br>";<br />
var CRLF = chr( 13) & chr( 10);<br />
var message = ReplaceNoCase(arguments.string, pattern, CRLF , "ALL");<br />
pattern = "<[^>]*>";<br />
</cfscript><br />
<cfreturn REReplaceNoCase(message, pattern, "" , "ALL")><br />
</cffunction><br />
<br />
<!--- Now send the email. When adding the Text part, we'll use the textMessage() function we just created to strip out HTML tags. ---><br />
<cfmail from="sender@domain.com" to="recipient@anotherdomain.com" subject="Multi-part Email with CFMAIL" type="html"><br />
<cfmailpart type= "text/plain" charset= "utf-8">#textmessage(myemailcontent)#</cfmailpart><br />
<cfmailpart type= "text/html" charset= "utf-8">#myemailcontent#</cfmailpart><br />
</cfmail><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Reference: [http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_CFMAIL_the_right_way-17875.html CFMAIL the right way]<br />
<br />
==Per-Application ColdFusion Mappings==<br />
In ColdFusion 8 and above, it is possible to create per-application mappings through your site's Application.cfc file. If you wish to convert to using an Application.cfc file, follow the steps [[ColdFusion_Tips_%26_Tricks#Converting_Application.cfm_to_Application|here]]. <br />
<br />
Once you have your Application.cfc created, you will insert the following line:<br />
<pre><br />
<cfset this.mappings["/test"]="d:\home\yourdomainname.com\wwwroot\test"><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
On your site though, you would change "/test" to the name of your mapping. IMPORTANT: You need to include the forward slash before the name of your mapping. Also, change "d:\home\yourdomainname.com\wwwroot\test" to the full physical path to the folder you wish to map. <br />
'''Note''': The physical path to your FTP root is listed in the "Site Settings" of your control panel at wcp.hostek.com.<br />
<br />
To call a template named "testing.cfm" in the "test" directory we just mapped, you would use this line: <br />
<pre><br />
<cfinclude template="/test/testing.cfm"><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==Per-Application Custom Tag Paths==<br />
Starting in ColdFusion 8, ColdFusion allows creation of Custom Tag Paths in each site's Application.cfc file. This allows you to create and manage your Custom Tag Paths without having to use CF Administrator (ie. submit a support ticket). The following steps will help you create a Custom Tag Path:<br />
<br />
If you do not already have an Application.cfc file in your site's Web root, create one now.<br />
Place the following code in the Application.cfc file and save:<br />
<pre><br />
<cfcomponent><br />
<cfset THIS.customtagpaths="d:\home\yourdomain.com\wwwroot\customtagfolder"><br />
</cfcomponent><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
In this case, you'd replace "yourdomain.com" with your domain name, and "customtagfolder" with the name of the folder you created for your custom tags. <br />
<br />
Now you have successfully added your custom tag path. If you have multiple tag paths to add, try using the following code instead:<br />
<pre><br />
<cfcomponent><br />
<cfset THIS.customtagpaths=ListAppend(THIS.customtagpaths, "d:\home\yourdomain.com\wwwroot\customtagfolder")><br />
</cfcomponent><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==Restart a ColdFusion Application==<br />
If you ever need to restart your site's ColdFusion application (to pick up a setting change, etc), you can do so via the ApplicationStop() function in ColdFusion 9+. <br />
<br />
To use this you can create a file (ex: restart.cfm) containing the following code:<br />
<pre><br />
<cfset ApplicationStop() /><br />
<cflocation url="index.cfm" addtoken="false" /><br />
</pre><br />
When you run the file containing that code your ColdFusion Application will be stopped (flushing your application scope), and when the browser is redirected to the index page the application will start again.<br />
<br />
==Scheduling Tasks in ColdFusion==<br />
On occasion shared ColdFusion hosting customers need to setup Scheduled Task to run files on a cycle. <br />
<br />
This can be done with the following steps, making use of ColdFusion's <cfschedule> tag:<br />
<br />
#Create a file locally using any text editor, save the file with the .CFM extension (example: setschedule_example.cfm).<br />
#Copy and past in the code example below taken from ''ColdFusion's Documentation'' and save.<br />
#Replace the data in the example note the following recommendations.<br />!- Name each file made for creating a schedule with the name of the task so you can reference the task later if needed. Specific naming will also make it more difficult for someone to randomly run the file.<br />!- If you need to schedule a job to run monthly on any date in the range 28-31, read about how ColdFusion will handle the scheduling in the ColdFuison8 documentation referenced below.<br />
#Working example, the code example below is a working tested solution for getting the weather for a specific zip code and the task to email the results.<br />
<br />
'''Scheduled Task'''<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"><br />
<!-- This sets the initial task, if your just wanting to set the schedule --><br />
<cfschedule action = "update"<br />
task = "Weather_Send" <br />
operation = "HTTPRequest"<br />
url = "http://test.hostek.net/weather_send.cfm"<br />
startDate = "7/6/09"<br />
startTime = "09:30 AM"<br />
interval = "3600"<br />
resolveURL = "Yes"<br />
requestTimeOut = "600"><br />
<br />
<!-- This allows for the task created to be deleted, just uncomment and change the task name. --><br />
<!-- cfschedule action = "delete"<br />
task = "Weather_Send"--><br />
<br />
<!-- This allows for the task to be paused, just uncomment and change the task name. --><br />
<!-- cfschedule action = "pause"<br />
task = "Weather_Send"--><br />
<br />
<!-- This allows for the task resumed if paused, just uncomment and change the task name. --><br />
<!-- cfschedule action = "resume"<br />
task = "Weather_Send"--><br />
</pre><br />
<br />

==Session Management - Handling Bots and Spiders==<br />
===Robots.txt File===<br />
First and foremost we suggest creating a robots.txt file in the web root of the domain to address two issues. First to control the rate at which the website is being crawled which can help prevent a bot/spider from creating a massive number of database connections at the same time. Second to prevent specific bots from crawling the website. <br />
<br />
Please see our [[Robots|robots.txt article]] for more information on implementing a robots.txt on your site.<br />
<br />
===Lower Session Timeouts for Bots and Spiders===<br />
Next we suggest setting your session timeout specifically lower for bots and spiders. These spiders and bots will crawl a page and when a session (ColdFusion) is created, it will persist during then entire page load. The page fully loaded allows the bot or spider to get the information from the Web page AND allows the session to expire quickly protecting ColdFusion from effects similar to a memory leak. <br />
<br />
To do this, implement the appropriate solution for your site below:<br />
<br />
====If using '''Application.cfm'''====<br />
Place this code at the top of your Application.cfm file:<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"><br />
<!--- This checks if a cookie is created, for bots this will return false and use the low session timeout ---><br />
<cfif StructKeyExists(cookie, "cfid") or StructKeyExists(cookie, "jsessionid")><br />
<cfset REQUEST.sessionTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0) /><br />
<cfelse><br />
<cfset REQUEST.sessionTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,2) /><br />
</cfif><br />
</pre><br />
Then use the '''REQUEST.sessionTimeout''' variable to specify the session timeout period in your '''cfapplication''' tag: <pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"><br />
<cfapplication name="myawesomeapp"<br />
sessionmanagement="Yes"<br />
sessiontimeout="#REQUEST.sessionTimeout#"><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
====If using '''Application.cfc''' (tag-based)====<br />
If you primarily use cfml tags in your Application.cfc, you can set the Session Timeout like this: <pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"><br />
<!--- This checks if a cookie is created, for bots this will return false and use the low session timeout ---><br />
<cfif StructKeyExists(cookie, "cfid") or StructKeyExists(cookie, "jsessionid")><br />
<cfset this.sessiontimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0) /><br />
<cfelse><br />
<cfset this.sessiontimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,2) /><br />
</cfif><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
====If using '''Application.cfc''' (cfscript)====<br />
If instead, you're using cfscipt in your Application.cfc, you'll set the custom Session Timeout like this: <pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"><br />
// This checks if a cookie is created, for bots this will return false and use the low session timeout<br />
if (StructKeyExists(cookie, "cfid") || StructKeyExists(cookie, "jsessionid")){<br />
this.sessionTimeout = createTimeSpan(0,0,30,0);<br />
} else {<br />
this.sessionTimeout = createTimeSpan(0,0,0,2);<br />
}<br />
</pre><br />
<br />

<br />
==Output CF Error details without CFDump==<br />
It is common in an error handler that you want to output all of the error details to the screen, a file, or an email. Therefore, the cfdump tag is commonly used for this; and, while this works well in development, it is not always the best practice on a production site because of the performance of the cfdump tag due to its use of reflection (Runtime type introspection).<br />
<br />
A better performing alternative is to output the information you want directly from the Error/Exception struct within a 'cfoutput' tag. This can be done by looking up the cferror structure or the cfcatch structure in the ColdFusion docs to see what is available and what values you might want to output:<br /><br />
'''Error''': https://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/cferror<br /><br />
'''CFCatch''': https://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/cfcatch<br />
<br />
<br />
You can also use the following link to download an example CF custom tag that will give a similar error output as when using the cfdump tag on an error variable:<br /><br />
[http://hostek.com/tutorials/ColdFusion/CF_OutputError.zip http://hostek.com/tutorials/ColdFusion/CF_OutputError.zip]<br />
<br />
<br />
Below is the custom tag's usage:<br />
<br />
<br />
In the error handler specified in your 'cferror' tag:<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"><cf_OutputError Error="#Error#" /></pre><br />
<br />
The above code would replace:<br />
<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"><cfdump var="#Error#" /></pre><br />
<br />
Or, in a cfcatch block:<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap"><cftry><br />
...<br />
<cfcatch><br />
<cf_OutputCFCatch CFCatch="#CFCatch#" /><br />
</cfcatch><br />
</cftry></pre><br />
<br />
==Configure ColdFusion to Handle html and htm Files==<br />
In case you need to process ColdFusion code in your .htm or .html files, here is what you will need to do to get this to work. This is based on using ColdFusion on one of our dedicated server hosting accounts on a Windows server.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': This will affect every site on the server, so use cautiously.<br />
<br />
First, you will need to edit the web.xml file located generally at C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot\WEB-INF<br />
<br />
Open this file and look for '''coldfusion_mapping_1'''.<br />
<br />
Scroll down the file until you see the last number increment like:<br />
<pre><br />
<servlet-mapping id="macromedia_mapping_15"><br />
</pre><br />
Then add the following right below the closing </servlet-mapping> of the last number increment item:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_16"><br />
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name><br />
<url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern><br />
</servlet-mapping><br />
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_17"><br />
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name><br />
<url-pattern>*.html/*</url-pattern><br />
</servlet-mapping><br />
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_18"><br />
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name><br />
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern><br />
</servlet-mapping><br />
<servlet-mapping id="coldfusion_mapping_19"><br />
<servlet-name>CfmServlet</servlet-name><br />
<url-pattern>*.htm/*</url-pattern><br />
</servlet-mapping><br />
</pre><br />
Save this file and exit.<br />
<br />
Now in IIS, setup a mapping for the site:<br />
#In IIS 7+ click the server name section (right below the '''Start Page''' in the left-hand navigation), then double-click the '''Handler Mappings''' icon.<br />
#Select and "edit" the '''*.cfm''' record and copy the value of "executable". Now hit Cancel and then click '''Add Script Map'''. <br />
#Paste the executable value copied from the '''*.cfm''' record and type '''*.htm''' into the '''Request Path''' and hit OK. <br />
#Repeat the above steps to add a handler for '''*.html''' <br />
<br />
Lastly, open the '''uriworkermap.properties''' file for your ColdFusion 10 IIS Connector in a text editor such as Notepad. On a standard ColdFusion installation this is located at: <pre>C:\ColdFusion10\config\wsconfig\1\uriworkermap.properties</pre><br />
Copy the following lines, paste them at the bottom of the file, then save and close the file: <pre>/*.html = cfusion<br />
/*.htm = cfusion</pre><br />
<br />
Now restart the ColdFusion service and IIS. ColdFusion should begin processing CFML within htm/html files now.<br />
<br />
==Increase the ColdFusion Post Parameters Limit==<br />
===ColdFusion 10===<br />
In ColdFusion 10, you can easily increase the value of ColdFusion's '''postParametersLimit''' via the ColdFusion Administrator. Once logged into the ColdFusion Administrator, click the '''Settings''' link then scroll to the bottom of the page. Set the value for the Post Parameters Limit to the desired limit and click the submit button. <br />
===ColdFusion 9 and below===<br />
To adjust the Post Parameters Limit setting in ColdFusion 9 and below, you will have to edit the server's '''neo-runtime.xml''' file which is located here on a standard installation: <pre>C:\ColdFusion9\lib</pre><br />
<br />
Open that file in a text editor such as Notepad, then search for the '''postSizeLimit''' tag. It will look similar to this: <pre><var name='postSizeLimit'><number>100.0</number></var></pre><br />
<br />
Immediately after that set of tags, paste this chunk of text: <pre><var name='postParametersLimit'><number>1000.0</number></var></pre><br />
Once you've adjusted the file, you'll just need to save your changes and restart ColdFusion for the new setting to go into effect. '''Note''': The value of '''1000''' is just an example, so you can increase it as needed. <br />

<br />
==Loading custom Java library or Java Libraries (jar or class files) in ColdFusion 10==<br />
ColdFusion 10 makes it easy to load Java libraries into your ColdFusion application without having to restart ColdFusion. All that's required is your application define the 'THIS.javaSettings' attribute within the site's Application.cfc like below:<br />
<pre><br />
<cfset THIS.javaSettings = {LoadPaths = ["/javafiles/"],reloadOnChange=true,watchInterval=30}/><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
The above code will check the "javafiles" directory in your Web root for 'jar' and 'class' files and make any libraries within the directory accessible from your ColdFusion application. ColdFusion will also check for changes to the files every 30 seconds and reload the libraries if it notices any changes to the files.<br />
<br />

<br />
==How to handle ColdFusion Error '''Permission denied for creating Java object: coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory'''==<br />
===When using Mura or using Transfer ORM===<br />
====Issue====<br />
If you are using '''Mura''' or using '''Transfer ORM''' and you get this error, '''Permission denied for creating Java object: coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory''', you are likely using an outdated version of Mura and also are probably on a ColdFusion 9 server. The Transfer ORM component causing this issue has not been updated to work with ColdFusion 9. There is a quick fix though:<br />
====Solution====<br />
Find the file named CFMLVersion.cfc which should be at '''/wwwroot/requirements/transfer/com/factory'''.<br />
<br />
Edit that file and find the line that has:<br />
<pre><br />
if(server.coldfusion.productversion.startsWith("8"))<br />
</pre><br />
And change that to:<br />
<pre><br />
if(server.coldfusion.productversion.startsWith("8") OR server.coldfusion.productversion.startsWith("9"))<br />
</pre><br />
Save the file and it should now work.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': Since this is likely running an outdated version of Mura, I would strongly suggest installing the latest version as the Blue River team has updated Mura's frameworks to make the software perform faster too.<br />
===When using DataMgr===<br />
If you get this error while using DataMgr.cfc, the changes described below will solve this problem:<br />
<br />
Here is the section of code from the original DataMgr.cfc:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
<cffunction name="getDataBase" access="public" returntype="string" output="no" hint="I return the database platform being used."><br />

<br />
Here is what the modified code should look like (this sample assume MySQL)<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
<cffunction name="getDataBase" access="public" returntype="string" output="no" hint="I return the database platform being used."><br />
<br />

<cfset type = "db2"><br />
</cfif><br />
</cfdefaultcase><br />
</cfswitch><br />
<cfset type = "MYSQL"><br />
<cfelse><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
'''Summary of changes''':<br />
<br />
These 3 lines were commented out:<br />
<pre><br />
<!-- cfset connection = getConnection() --><br />
<!-- cfset db = connection.getMetaData().getDatabaseProductName() --><br />
<!-- cfset connection.close() --><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
This line needed quotes around db2:<br />
<pre><br />
<cfset type = "db2"><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
And lastly, this line needed added:<br />
<pre><br />
<br />
<cfset type = "MYSQL"><br />
</pre><br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': If you are using an MS Access database instead of MySQL, replace MYSQL with msaccessjet on the line that is added.<br />
<br />
==How to handle ColdFusion Error '''Security: The requested template has been denied access to {file/directory}'''==<br />
===Issue===<br />
Our shared servers have ColdFusion Sandbox Security enabled, which requires absolute filesystem paths to be provided to tags and functions that interact with the filesystem. If you receive an error that starts with '''Security: The requested template has been denied access to''' then it is followed by a relative path, you'll need to replace the relative path with a full path.<br />
===Solution===<br />
One way to do this is to hard-code the path (''d:\home\sitename.com\wwwroot\filename.jpg''), but that can cause portability problems if your site is ever moved to a different environment. <br />
<br />
However, a better way to do this would be to "wrap" your relative path with the ExpandPath() function. The ExpandPath() function will automatically detect the absolute filesystem path to the file, and ColdFusion will no longer give you a permissions error. <br />
<br />

==How to Wrap Your ColdFusion DSN with Seefusion==<br />
If you wish to have Seefusion monitor your server's query activity, you'll need to "wrap" your DSN with SeeFusion's JDBC driver so Seefusion can monitor the DSN's activity. <br />
===Install SeeDSN===<br />
SeeDSN is a plugin for ColdFusion Administrator that makes it easy to wrap a DSN with Seefusion. Follow these directions to install SeeDSN:<br />
#Download the SeeDSN archive [http://www.seefusion.com/seedsn_v1.1.zip here].<br />
#Extract the '''seedsn''' folder within the archive to your '''/CFIDE/Administrator/''' folder. This means it will be located at ''/CFIDE/Administrator/seedsn'' once extracted. <br />
#Move ''/CFIDE/Administrator/seedsn/custommenu.xml'' to ''/CFIDE/Administrator/custommenu.xml''<br />
===Add Seefusion.jar to the ColdFusion Classpath===<br />
In order for ColdFusion to use Seefusion's JDBC driver, you'll need to ensure '''seefusion.jar''' is on your ColdFusion class path. Follow these directions to add seefusion.jar to the Coldfusion class path:<br />
#Log into your server's ColdFusion Administrator<br />
#Click the '''Java and JVM''' link on the left, under Server Settings.<br />
#In the box labeled '''ColdFusion Class Path''' add the path to your '''seefusion.jar''' file and click ''Submit Changes''. For example, if it is located in ColdFusion's "WEB-INF\lib" folder, you can add this to the Class Path: '''{application.home}/wwwroot/WEB-INF/lib/seefusion.jar'''. <br />
#*Each path in the ColdFusion Class Path is separated by a comma, so be sure to add a comma right before the path to seefusion.jar (do not add any spaces).<br />
#Restart ColdFusion after modifying the class path<br />
<br />
===Wrap a DSN using SeeDSN===<br />
Once you've installed SeeDSN and restarted ColdFusion, you can wrap a DSN with the SeeFusion JDBC driver. Follow these instructions to do so: <br />
#Log into ColdFusion Administrator<br />
#Expand the ''SeeFusion'' navigation menu on the left and click '''Datasource Wrapper'''<br />
#On the ''Datasource Wrapper'' page, you'll see a list of DSNs on your server. To wrap a DSN, click the ''Start'' [[File:Start.png]] icon next to your DSN. SeeDSN will automatically wrap your DSN with the SeeFusion driver and display '''OK''' if it is successful.<br />
<br />

==Using fckEditor on CF10==<br />
When getting the following error for fckEditor:<br />
"The server didn't reply with a proper XML data. Please check your configuration."<br />
<br />
If you are on a ColdFusion 10 server this will be cause by the FileUpload() function that is being used.<br />
In ColdFusion 10 'FileUpload' is a built-in function name, so you'll need to rename the 'FileUpload' function used in fckeditor.<br />
You can update the text for fckeditor by changing all instances of "FileUpload" to "fckFileUpload" to remove this conflict.</div>CalebChttps://wiki.hostek.com/index.php?title=IPhone&diff=1890IPhone2013-12-30T15:12:53Z<p>CalebC: /* iphone IMAP Setup */</p>

==DNS Editor==<br />
'''READ FIRST''' When a new domain is added to WCP all DNS records are also created (in most cases). Clicking on the DNS Editor will open a window with these records, for editing, adding and deleting. Most times nothing needs to be done other than pointing your domain to the Primary and Secondary DNS Servers listed under [https://wiki.hostek.com/WCP_(Windows_based_Control_Panel)#Site_Details WCP Site Details].<br />
<br />
===Create a new DNS record===<br />
#Click '''Add DNS''' Record button<br />
#Enter Name for record (If DNS record name is your domain name please leave this Name - text box blank as the control panel will automatically add your domain name)<br />
#Choose the Record type (A, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SPF, SRV)<br />
#Enter Data Type<br />
#Generally leave the TTL (Time To Live) as the default 86400<br />
#Click on the '''Save''' Icon.<br />
<br />
===Update DNS records===<br />
#To update an existing DNS record click the '''Pencil''' icon next to the record you would like to update.<br />
#You will then be able to change the Name of the record, the Type of record, Data of the record, and Time to Live.<br />
#Once updated Click on the '''Save''' Icon.<br />
<br />
===SVR Record Fields===<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
Name: _service._protocol<br />
Type: SRV<br />
Data: priority weight port address<br />
TTL: 86400<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<pre><br />
Name: _sip._udp<br />
Type: SRV<br />
Data: 10 5 4030 sip.mydomain.com<br />
TTL: 86400<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
===SPF Records===<br />
An SPF Record (simply an entry into the DNS records) is used by mail servers to know if mail coming from an address at your domain is really allowed to be sent from the sending mail server.<br />
<br />
If you will be using our servers send email related to your domain, you would generally use an SPF record like the following:<pre>"v=spf1 a mx include:spf.hostek.com -all"</pre><br />
<br />
For our Resellers that don't want to use hostek.com, use an SPF Record like:<pre>"v=spf1 a mx include:spf.ezhostingserver.com -all"</pre><br />
'''Steps to add an SPF Record to your domain:'''<br />
Assuming that your DNS is managed with us:<br />
#Log in to your hosting control panel at wcp.hostek.com<br />
#Open the DNS Editor (DNS Manager) section<br />
#Click on Add Record. <br />
#Leave the Name field blank. <br />
#For the Type, choose TXT<br />
#For the Data enter the SPF Record detail as you need, using the sample provided above.<br />
<br />
'''Basic information related to some SPF Record options:'''<br />
<br />
The '''"-all"''' may be adjusted on a per customer basis to any of the following depending on their needs:<br />
<br />
<br />
'''-all''' = mail not sent from an address listed in the SPF record should be completely rejected (Hard Fail). Mail that IS sent from an address in the SPF record may be given a lower spam score by some servers.<br />
<br />
'''~all''' = mail not sent from an address listed in the SPF record should be given a higher spam score(Soft Fail). Mail that IS sent from an address in the SPF record may be given a lower spam score by some servers.<br />
<br />
'''?all''' = mail not sent from an address listed in the SPF record should be treated normally as if the domain did not have an spf record (Neutral). Mail that IS sent from an address in the SPF record may be given a lower spam score by some servers.<br />

==Sub Domains==<br />
*A sub-domain is like an extension of your domain name. For example, if your domain name were myfamily.com, a sub-domain would be in the following form: dad.myfamily.com or mom.myfamily.com etc.<br />
*You can have a sub-domain pointed to any folder within your web site. If a visitor goes directly to that sub-domain he will be taken to that folder, not to your site's main page.<br />
#Click on the '''Sub Domains icon'''<br />
#Click "'''Add'''" sub Domain button <br />
#Enter sub domain name in Name text box. This will automatically populate the Folder text box to a folder with the same name as the subdomain.<br />
#If you wish this Subdomain to point to a different folder you can click on the folder icon and choose the directory you would like your Sub Domain to point to.<br />
#Click on the "'''Save'''" Icon.<br />
#This will create the sub domain record within your domains DNS zone, <br />
*If the domains name servers are not pointed to us you will need to manually create this record where your domains DNS is hosted.<br />

<br />
= ISAPI_Rewrites and Redirects Version 3 =<br />
<br />
ISAPI_Rewrite Version 3 is a powerful URL manipulation engine based on regular expressions. Hostek.com has lots of experience with Isapi_Rewrite Hosting. Here are a couple of examples of using Isapi_Rewrite Version 3:<br />
<br />
<b>NOTE:</b> Place the rewrite rules in a file named .htaccess and place it at the web root (ie, /wwwroot folder)<br />If you do not have a .htaccess file created already then use a text editor like Notpad and save the file as a .htaccess or use the File Manager in the hosting control panel to create the .htaccess file on the server.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Simple Redirects and Rewrites ==<br />
<br />
==== Redirecting to a different domain ====<br />
If you need to redirect your website to another website<br />
<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;<br />
word-wrap: break-word"><br />
RewriteEngine On<br />
<br />
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$ [NC]<br />
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [QSA,R=301]<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==== Rewrite a Folder to another Folder ====<br />
<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;<br />
word-wrap: break-word"><br />
RewriteEngine on<br />
RewriteBase /<br />
<br />
RewriteRule ^oldfolder$ /correctfolder [NC,R=301,L] <br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==== Redirect File Names ====<br />
To have your index.htm page auto redirect to index.asp user this example<br />
<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;<br />
word-wrap: break-word"><br />
RewriteEngine on<br />
<br />
RewriteRule index.htm index.asp [I,O,R=301,L]<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==== Subfolder Rewrite ====<br />
To redirect your domain to a subfolder of that domain example: www.domain.com to www.domain.com/folder<br />
<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;<br />
word-wrap: break-word"><br />
RewriteEngine On<br />
<br />
# Exclude requests already going to /subfolder to avoid an infinite loop<br />
RewriteRule ^subfolder.*$ - [NC,L]<br />
<br />
# Rewrite normal requests to /subfolder<br />
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subfolder/$1 [L]<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==== non-www. to www. Redirects ====<br />
<br />
Redirecting non-www version to www., example domain.com to www.domain.com<br />
<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;<br />
word-wrap: break-word"><br />
RewriteEngine on<br />
<br />
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} (on)?<br />
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^(?!www\.)(.+)$ [NC]<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)<br />
RewriteRule .? http(?%1s)://www.%2%3 [R=301,L]<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==== URL Rewrite ====<br />
<br />
Suppose you have URL like www.example.com/foo.asp?a=A&b=B&c=C and you want to access it as www.example.com/foo.asp/a/A/b/B/c/<br />
<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;<br />
word-wrap: break-word"><br />
RewriteEngine on<br />
RewriteRule ^(.*?\.asp)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)(/.+)? $1$4?$2=$3 [NC,LP,QSA<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==== WordPress Permalinks ====<br />
<br />
WordPress Permalinks using mod_rewrite are for Linux, but ISAPI_Rewrite does offer the equivalent. If you want to have index.php not show in the url try using these in your .htaccess file.<br />
<br />
If your WordPress site is in the wwwroot folder.<br />
<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;<br />
word-wrap: break-word"><br />
# BEGIN WordPress<br />
<br />
#Options +Followsymlinks<br />
RewriteEngine On<br />
RewriteBase /<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br />
RewriteRule . /index.php [NC,L]<br />
<br />
# END WordPress<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
If your WordPress site is in a subfolder.<br />
<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;<br />
word-wrap: break-word"><br />
# BEGIN WordPress<br />
<br />
#Options +Followsymlinks<br />
RewriteEngine On<br />
RewriteBase /<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br />
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br />
RewriteRule . /subfolder/index.php [NC,L]<br />
<br />
# END WordPress<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== HTTP to HTTPS SSL Rewrites ==<br />
<br />
==== SSL ====<br />
Suppose you have URL like http://shop.example.com and you want your visitors to be redirected to https://shop.example.com<br />
<br />
Here is example how to force SSL for certain folder. Simply put following rules into the .htaccess file in this folder:<br />
<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -pre-wrap;<br />

== Wild-Card Subdomains & Variables Rewrites ==<br />
<br />
Here is an example to show how to get the variables from positions 1 and 2 without it mattering how many items are in the URL. In other words, a good example for a rewrite rule for optional parameters.<br />
<br />
==== Variable URLs ====<br />
Let's say you want to have a URL display like: http://your_domain.com/some-folder/34-77-some-key-word.html<br />
But you want that to really process a query like:http://your_domain.com/folder/search.asp?country=34&city=77<br />
<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;<br />
word-wrap: break-word"><br />
RewriteEngine on<br />
RewriteRule ^some-folder/([^-]+)-([^-]+)-.*$ /folder/search.asp?country=$1&city=$2<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==== Wild-Card Subdomains ====<br />
<br />
Rewrite all wild-card sub-domain requests to a folder without affecting "your_domain.com" or "www.your_domain.com"<br />
<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -pre-wrap;<br />
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;<br />
word-wrap: break-word"><br />
# Ignore requests that are already rewritten <br />
RewriteRule ^subdomainfolder/.*$ - [NC,L]<br />
<br />
# Rewrite all requests to non-www sub-domains to /subdomainfolder <br />
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.)?your_domain\.com$ [NC] <br />
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /subdomainfolder/$1 [L]<br />
</pre><br />

<hr />
<div>===Changing the Service Timeout on your VPS===<br />
<br />
Sometimes when updates are applied to Windows, the server will require a reboot. Since the server is applying updates, this can sometimes cause certain services to timeout during startup that normally would not. You can change the service timeout on your VPS to help prevent this problem. To change the timeout, follow these steps:<br />
<br />
#Go to Start > Run > and type regedit<br />
#Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control<br />
#With the control folder selected, right click in the pane on the right and select new DWORD Value<br />
#Name the new DWORD: ServicesPipeTimeout <br />
#Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify<br />
#Click Decimal, type '300000' (for a 5 minute timeout), and then click OK<br />
#Restart the computer<br />
<br />
This will change your timeout settings and give services longer to start up after updates before the server will auto time them out and kill the process.<br />
