What version of BlueDragon are you running?

While supporting folks using BlueDragon, I often find it useful to determine what version they're running. While there is info reported in the debugging info (if enabled) and in the admin console, and even the Server.BlueDragon and Server.ColdFusion structures (which you can dump, of course), it's sometimes hard to equate engine revision numbers (like 6,1,0,226) to familiar names (like "6.1 Beta 3").

So I offer the following set of CFML code that you can drop into your server and run to find out what version you're running. It will even tell you if you're running CF, which could happen if you've entered the wrong port number or configured your web server adapter in a way you didn't expect.

Just place your cursor in the textarea below and press Ctrl-A to select it all, then Ctrl-C to copy it to the clipboard, to paste into your favorite CFML editor. Call it Getver.cfm, if you like.  Just note that it will likely change in the future, so be sure to come back and check for updates. I'll note any changes here and in a revision log in the code below.

Last revised 5/17/04 - updated to reflect new Release Candidate 3 (preview) build

<!--- Name: Getver.cfm Author: Charlie Arehart, New Atlanta Communications Revision Date: May 17, 2004 - updated to reflect new Release Candidate 3 (preview) build Revision Date: May 4, 2004 - updated to reflect new Release Candidate 2 build Purpose: Determines what specific BlueDragon product, version, release number, and revision you're running. Also reports if running CF or some other CFML server, though not with as much detail. The info is available in the admin console, as well as the debugging info on every page (if enabled), and in the server.bluedragon and server.coldfusion structures. But it may be a challenge associating an engine revision, like 6,1,0,226, with being a named release like "6.1 Beta 3". That's what this routine does for you. Note that this template can/will definitely be refined. Be sure to check back for updates, at http://bluedragon.blog-city.com/read/585695.htm. ---> <cfscript> // we start with a function that is called by a small set of display code at the bottom of this template function getver() { // analyzes various elements in the server.coldfusion and server.bluedragon structures to determine the product name, level, release number, and revision (returning those as prodname, prodlevel, release num, and revision) // get descriptive names of product/level prodname = server.coldfusion.productname; prodlevel = server.coldfusion.productlevel; // to determine release number and version (point release), need to first determine if BD or CF if (isdefined("server.bluedragon")) { // and within that, a quick first test is to determine if the server.bluedragon.revision variable exists switch (isdefined("server.bluedragon.revision")) { // only release 3.1 had server.bluedragon.revision, then it was taken away in 6.1 case true: releasenum = 3.1;

revision = ""; } else { revision = "engine revision #buildver#"; } break; // otherwise, could be either 3.02 or 6.1 (they did not have server.bluedragon.revision) case false: // can look pretty quickly at the first few letters of productversion to tell the major point release // handle 6.1 and its point releases first if (left(server.coldfusion.productversion,3) is "6,1") { releasenum = "6.1";
