Re: [getxindi] Can Xindi be installed on shared hosting?

[John Whish]

Hi Tony,

Yes, Xindi can run on shared hosting. That is error is caused by the datasource not being found. 

Two suggestions:

1) Hardcode you datasource name on line 16 of Application.cfc. So where it currently says:

this.datasource = ListLast( this.applicationroot, "\/" );

Change to:

this.datasource = "mydsnname";

2) If that doesn't work, the other things to try on shared hosting is that you might not have permission to CREATE tables in the database via ColdFusion. So you might need to login to the tool your hosts give you and create the tables etc yourself.

Hi,

I have successfully installed Xindi on my localhost, however I would like to install it on a shared Coldfusion hosting account.

I get these errors:

Element FRAMEWORK.SUBSYSTEMDELIMITER is undefined in VARIABLES.

Could not create connection to database server. Attempted reconnect 3 times. Giving up.

I created a DSN "xindi". I know there are limits with these types of accounts, if it is not possible I would like to know...spare me the pain ;)
Thanks!

Thanks John,

I had actually done your first suggestion, I will try creating the tables as you suggest.

p.s I purchased your book on ORM, good stuff! Highly recommended!

[John Whish]

Thanks Tony! :)

Hello John,

It seems I have a new hurdle. After creating the tables manually I now encounter this:

 Java method security exception.
A security exception occurred while invoking Java method on a "java.lang.Class" object. MethodName is GetClass. Possible cause: Either the createobject function and cfobject tag are disabled in the security sandbox or you are trying to create a class in the ColdFusion package and that is disabled.

I contacted my host and they sent me to a forum article that mentions the following:

This occurs when the application is attempting to make use of coldfusion Java obects (I.E. any object whose "dot path" starts with 'coldfusion' - such as 'coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory'). This applies to the ColdFusion cfscript function "CreateObject()" that is very commonly used to create java objects or CFDUMP which is not a Adobe supported coldfusion tag.

is Hoth an option that can be disabled? or is there a workaround for this?

Thanks,
Tony

[Jim Priest]

"CFDUMP which is not a Adobe supported coldfusion tag." ?? Say what? :)

If you look in application.cfc you'll see:

void function onError( Exception, event ){
if( StructKeyExists( application, "exceptiontracker" ) )
application.exceptiontracker.track( arguments.Exception );
super.onError( arguments.Exception, arguments.event );
}

Comment out the call to the exceptionTracker (hoth)

void function onError( Exception, event ){
// if( StructKeyExists( application, "exceptiontracker" ) )
application.exceptiontracker.track( arguments.Exception );
super.onError( arguments.Exception, arguments.event );
}

And see what happens...

Jim

[John Whish]

Hoth (ironically) is the error handling mechanism. As Jim said you can comment it out.

If Hoth is being called then there is an error somewhere so you will need to dump that out if you can. It might be best to comment out the whole onerror method.

I've definitely seen Xindi (and hoth) running on shared hosts, so it does sound like your host may be a little over zealous.

Hi Guys,
I have done as you have suggested and the error is coming from here:

Original exception in onRequestStart

The action public:main.default failed.

access denied (java.io.FilePermission D:\home\sellmycardsonline.com\wwwroot\SiteCFC read)

(Security)

What to notice here is that "sellmycardsonline.com" is not me! It seems that FW/1 has gone a little to far beyond my "root".. and is trying to mess around in someone else's business! ;)

So is this something in FW/1 that needs to be known/configured for shared host users? I am just getting started with FW/1 so I am not too sure where to start looking, but it seems obvious that it needs to know that it is on a shared host and should stop at wwwroot within my account.

Thanks,

Tony

[Jim Priest]

Weird. I just looked through the source files for both Xindi and FW/1
and didn't see any references to "sellmycardsonline"

Not sure how your shared hosting is setup but I'd wager it's possible
someone else's site was compromised and the server is spewing this
out... :(

Yes, it sounds like a hosting issue to me.

I will put it to the hosting company and see what they say.

[Tony Gray]

I have made an enquiry to the hosting company and awaiting their reply, I probably should, however, give you all this clue:

at cfframework2ecfc1225322147$funcCACHEDFILEEXISTS.runFunction(D:\home\websiteclarity.com.au\wwwroot\xindi\frameworks\org\corfield\framework.cfc:1109)

...this is where FW/1 went rogue and jumped into the another account.. (line 1258)

} else if ( cachedFileExists( cfcFilePath( request.cfcbase ) & subsystemDir & types & '/' & section & '.cfc' ) ) {

So, has subsystemDir landed us in the neighbours backyard?

Your hosting company should be able to answer this question. It looks like they've disabled createobject.

[John Whish]

I agree with what Simon's said. 

You could always change the error handler to dump out the actual error to give you some more info to go to your hosting company with. Something like:

void function onError( Exception, event ){    

  writeDump( arguments.Exception );

}

That should help you diagnose the issue.

My hosting company give me this response.

========================
Tariq,

For security reasons, we could enable access to internal ColdFusion Java Components on a shared server. Our team will continue looking into a workaround for this issue. We will keep you advised of our progress.

That's annoying. You might want to take a look at http://www.hostmedia.co.uk/.

Thanks for reply,

I have comment the hoth

and also use your code for display error
