CGI.SERVER_NAME on shared hosting

Hey Guys,

I have a client that hosts their site on HostMySite.com.  recently
they have been playing around with server names and such, and I think
it messed with the CGI scope, there fore messing up the farcry Admin.


In the application.cfm file in Admin we see this code...
<cfinclude template="/farcry/#stApps[cgi.server_name]#/www/
Application.cfm">


As I can tell cgi.server_name needs to be Farcry_min ( or whatever you
called yours ).  I can also tell that there are many fallbacks to
retrieve the application.cfm file from the project folder...

However if I cfabort after the block of try and catches of the admin
trying to load the application.cfm file... the site just hangs and
hangs until a ROOT CAUSE: java.lang.StackOverflowError  error is
thrown.

So somewhere, somehow it is looping forever...


What is the standard method for loading the Applicaiton.cfm from the
project folder, and has anyone seen something like this?

Thanks,
Dave

Ok I figured this out...

Basically all the checks to load the project folder application.cfm
file failed until it reached the check to include template="/farcry/
application.cfm"  as I stated in my previous post, I am already in
that file trying to load another file... Boom... instant Infinite
loop.

I'm sure that line is in there for certain deployments, and it is why
it is one of the last checks before complete fail...

So I chalk this up to the Hosting company changed some server settings
which affected the CGI scope, or changed the success of a different if
statement and therefore the admin tried as a last resort... and boom
failed.

This also occurs on OnRequestEnd.cfm.  So if you start seeing infinte
loops and java stackTrace dumps... you might be dealing with some
changed settings that is no longer making the 6 or so checksin on the
admin side succeed.

Thanks,
Dave

This is an issue I have had a number of times w/ Farcry v3.  Usually, it is
a problem w/the projects application.cfm.  It includes
/config/serverSpecificVars.cfm.  If you have any code in there that throws
an error, the error handling in /facry/Application.cfm tosses you into an
infinite loop.  I finally added a try/catch in serverSpecificVars.cfm that
aborts if we cannot correctly startup.
