YoHost Windows Hosting FAQ: ColdFusion
What version of ColdFusion do you run?
| | As of August 2007, we offer a choice of ColdFusion 8 or ColdFusion MX 7.0.2.
|
Can I use the CFFile and CFDirectory tags?
| | Yes. Our servers run ColdFusion Enterprise with sandbox security enabled.
|
Do you provide any image processing tools?
| | Yes, Alagad Image Component is provided. Also, ColdFusion 8 includes
built-in tools for image processing.
|
Do you allow scheduled tasks?
| | Yes, we can set up a scheduled task for you or you can use CFSchedule.
(Please include your domain name in the name of your task.)
Note, if your task is very resource-intensive, there is some
possibility that we will ask you to remove it, in order
to assure the most reliable service for other customers.
|
How can I make my database-driven site more efficient?
| | Many sites can benefit from ColdFusion's query caching feature.
For example, using
<cfquery name="whatever" cachedwithin="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,15,0)#">,
the query results will be cached for 15 minutes to avoid
excessive database queries.
Also, in most cases we recommend using MySQL 5 or SQL Server
for your database. (Microsoft Access is not recommended for busy sites.)
|
Do you allow Verity collections?
| | Yes, we can set up a Verity collection for you or you can use CFCollection.
(Please specify the path option to be a directory within
your domain's file structure. We recommend using a folder named
verity, outside of your wwwroot.)
|
Do you allow me to send mail using CFMail?
| | Yes. We recommend omitting the server option, in order to use
the defaults that we have set up in the ColdFusion Administrator.
The defaults include localhost and one or more backup mail servers.
|
Are J2EE Session Variables enabled?
| | Yes, on our ColdFusion 8 server only.
|
How does your system handle Client Variables?
| | By default, Client Variables are stored in cookies.
If you would prefer to use a database, please contact Support
for assistance. (We do not allow ClientStorage="registry")
|
Can my ColdFusion MX 7 account be upgraded to ColdFusion 8?
| | Yes, please contact Support if you would like to have your domain(s)
moved to a ColdFusion 8 server.
|
Can you set up a custom mapping or custom tags directory for my domain?
| | Usually this is not necessary, because on our system "/" automatically
points to the wwwroot directory for your domain.
In ColdFusion 8, you can use an application.cfc document
to set up a mapping and/or custom tag directory for your domain.
|
I need to use a special font with the CFDocument tag. Can you help?
| | Yes, if you can provide the font, we can install it on the server for you,
subject to any licensing restrictions.
|
Can you host the FarCry content management system?
| | Yes. If you want to run FarCry, please contact Support
to set up your domain for you.
|
Can you install a CFX tag for me?
| | These are considered on an individual basis. Please contact Support with the details. |
