Galleon 2.1

11

Posted in ColdFusion | Posted on 05-12-2008 | 4,174 views

I just released Galleon 2.1. The major change in this release is Oracle support from James Holmes. I did not document this in the Install instructions as I'm hoping a few Oracle folks out there (poor souls I'm sure) can give it a quick try. I also fixed a deletion bug. Oracle folks - please do not use the unsupported folder. Oracle support is completely baked in.

There doesn't appear to be an Oracle installation script in the /installation directory. Or am I missing something?

Ugh. My fault, not James. I'll update the zip right now. Please try 5 minutes after this posting.

Quickie test: the database installed without issue, had a big problem logging in even as admin. Finally found the problem...by default, the settings.ini.cfm specifies encrypted passwords, but (again by default) the admin password isn't encrypted in the installation script. Methinks these should be coordinated to provide a better "out of the box experience."

So I set encryptpasswords=false in the ini file and then could log in. However, if I then go to the administration function and toggle the password encryption back to true, the existing passwords aren't encrypted and consequently admin can no longer log in.

I realize that this goes beyond testing the Oracle functionality, but if an admin suddenly decides encrypting passwords is a good idea (maybe he just found the option for the first time), he can lock every existing user out of the database, including himself.

I agree - the ini file should be set to false for that.

But - the issue you brought up is documented. I tell people that if they switch 'midstream', they need to update the data.

I missed the midstream warning, then. Is it in the installation documentation?

It darn well better be. ;)

Um, don't see it :P

Just uh... squint real hard. ;) Maybe I thought it would be assumed. ;) I'll document it.

Ray, still interested in the "edit your own post" mod?
Raymond Camden said on 05-13-2008 at 8:37 AM #
Absolutely.

Ok. I'll do a grab from SVN and contact you sometime this week to get it organized.
