Installation didn't work?

[CarolineE-J]

Hello,
I just added cfspreadsheet to my Railo Web Admin using the steps stated in:
http://www.andyjarrett.co.uk/blog/index.cfm/2011/1/4/cfspreadsheet-for-Railo-update

It all installed correctly and there were no errors.

However, when trying to actually use cfspreadsheet, I get this error:

Railo 4.0.4.001 Error (template)
Message undefined tag [cfspreadsheet]
Stacktrace The Error Occurred in
/blah/file/location/ 25
23: /> --->
24:
25:
26:
27:

cfspreadsheet would really help me what I'm trying to do (read in a xls file, go through it and take out certain informations in columns).

Thanks!
Caroline

Silly question, but did you restart Railo after installing? (It is required). Also, did you check the log files?

Also, the web site is a few versions behind unfortunately. The latest version is here:

CarolineE-J and Leigh,

have you figured out more about this issue or find an alternative solution?
I have just installed that extension on railo 4.2.0 but I get the same error "undefined tag"

thanks

Hi @strangersliver - I have not actively worked on this project in a while, but from what I recall, failing to restart was a common cause of that error.  So I would try that, if you have not already.  Sorry I could not be of more help.

@strangersliver what steps did you take to get this to install on Railo 4.2. For the life of me, I can't even get it to install. Which of the many .zip files did you use? I have added the Provider, but I get the same error every time that the config file does not contain the necessary [info] section tag. Any input would be greatly appreciated as I really need to get this tag working.

Thanks....

@cfielding how do you set up "Null Support"? My experience is the extension won't get installed unless it's set to "Partial Support (CFML Default)".

Installing Via Admin Interface

I installed the extension in Railo 4.2.1.000 final, according to the README instructions.

log in to your Web Administrator and add http://www.andyjarrett.co.uk/RailoExtensionProvider/ExtensionProvider.cfc to your Providers (under Extension)
Then go to Applications (still under Extension) and install "CFPOI, a wrapper for the Apache POI Project."
Once done you will need to restart your Railo server.
With your server restarted you should be able to use the cfspreadsheet functions and tags.

Restarting Railo is the last step of the instructions, and I did indeed restart Tomcat afterwards.

Although "<cfspreadhsheet/> tag & functions" [sic] shows in the "Installed" section of "Extension > Applications," I still get "undefined tag [cfspreadsheet]" in the browser.

Note, I am running with default null support, which is "Partial Support (CFML Default)."

Installing Via Zip File

BTW, it wasn't apparent how to download the zip, but when I click "View Raw" in Chrome, it seems to initiate the zip download.

Additionally, when installing the zip via the "Extension > Applications > Upload new extension", it fails with "There is no config.xml file available in the extension!"

I've submitted a pull request, which documents workarounds that I hope work for everyone.

Here are the rendered instructions.
