I have an interesting case in which the reflection removal heuristic fails. This is an information plaque at the museum entry: Before reflection removalAfter the removal to my astonishment the algorithm removed the white labels, and left the top right side reflections completely unchanged: Removed labels , reflections unchanged.Thanks,Thomas

We have a legacy app that extensively uses CFTABLE and CFCOL. Since these tags were removed from CF2025 I was wondering if it would be possible for Adobe to post the source code for these tags so that we can define them as customtags so that we don’t need to manually re-write every page in this application. It doesn’t seem like it would be that big of a deal for them to do this and it would save us a great deal of time and effort as all we would need to do is change <CFTABLE to <CF_CFTABLE and <CFCOL to <CF_CFCOL [or whatever the customtag is called] instead of changing all of the HTML on every single CFM file.thanks. 

Where the heck do you report a bug?  Now I know why the Adobe developers say they don't have any bugs in their queue.  No one can figure how to report one.I was also told they offer free installation support.  Where and how do you reach them?  I've scoured the website and can't find it.

There are a few issues with this page that I wanted to report. The ColdFusion Updates download link is not a link, but is formatted as a link (Download and install updates for Adobe ColdFusion (2023 release). Adobe recommends always applying the latest ColdFusion (2023 release) update.) This should link to the ColdFusion 2023 Updates page, but does not. Java SE 17.0.19 has some high-severity issues and Java SE 17.0.20 was released on 7/21/2026 and still has not been posted to the site. Can you please post that? The bottom of the page shows a Document History section that is badly neglected - showing only document updates from 2023!

Hi,I recently downloaded and installed the version ColdFusion 2025 trial edition using GUI installer.After the installation,I was able to access the ColdFusion Administrator page successfully.However,I do not see the start/stop option for the ColdFusion Application Service in the windows Services console. So, I am unable to restart the service.Could you please advise how to enable or access the ColdFusion service? Thank you 

Hi Support team, I am working on a project in ColdFusion version 2023. Looking to setup the project in dev environment, but it seems the developer/trial version for 2023 link is not activeon the website url below. Can see only latest version 2025 for download.https://guides.adobe.com/coldfusion/en/docs/install-and-configure-coldfusion/coldfusion-downloads.htmlPlease share the link to download the developer edition for 2023. Thanks 

I just discovered that my ColdFusion PMT 2023 server had run out of disk space on the volume where the PMT is installed (separate disk from where Windows is installed). This is a dedicated server running on Windows Server 2022.I added more space to the volume and tried to restart both the data store service and the PMT service.  The datastore service will start, but the PMT service will not. The Windows Event log had no useful information about why it won't start.  The PMT exception log says: [ERROR] 2026-07-17 12:38:46.675 com.adobe.pms.es.client.ElasticSearchClient - Datastore Service not available.

Hi everyone,I’m working with an XML feed in a ColdFusion project where menu-related data is stored as a comma-separated string inside a single node. Each entry starts with a category or brand name, followed by multiple items, but I only need to display that first value.Example XML (simplified):<cfxml variable="menuData"><catalog>  <item>    <type>Drinks</type>    <details>Cold Brew Coffee, Vanilla Latte, Caramel Mocha, Iced Americano</details>  </item>  <item>    <type>Specials</type>    <details>Holiday Drinks, Peppermint Mocha, Sugar Cookie Latte</details>  </item></catalog></cfxml>What I’m trying to output is just the first part of each details string:Cold Brew CoffeeHoliday DrinksI assume this can be handled with string functions after parsing the XML, but I’d like to confirm the cleanest approach in ColdFusion, especially if the data grows later.This is part of a menu-structuring projec

I’m trying to import REST services from a ColdFusion 2023 server into ColdFusion API Manager. The same process works with other ColdFusion versions, but this error occurs: CFDiscoveryPortalServiceImpl - Error retrieving available REST services

Images in cfr reports are not displayed with CF 2025, no matter whether I use a relative path, an absolute path, or a file url. They were still displayed in previous CF versions.Is this a restriction of the developer version I am currently using?Any help is appreciated.

An update came out yesterday and someone at our company was attempting to install it to our servers.  We noticed that one of the servers was not loading the CFAdmin screen.  So we applied the patch via the command line instead, hoping that may fix the issue but it didn’t.  We are currently on ColdFusion 2023 (2023,0,21,330920) on Windows Server 2019.  The troubleshooting steps taken were rebooting the server as well as running the Web Configuration tool to remove and recreate the profile.Any help is appreciated.  The error we are getting is:Could not find the included template ../../login.cfm. Note: If you wish to use an absolute template path (for example, template="/mypath/index.cfm") with CFINCLUDE, you must create a mapping for the path using the ColdFusion Administrator. Or, you can use per-application settings to specify mappings specific to this application by specifying a mappings struct to THIS.mappings in Application.cfc. Using relative paths (for example, template="index.cfm

I’m trying to setup a configurable coldfusion docker/kuberntes environment where I can just swap the datasource configs in order to boot up different stages.I have managed to do this locally on docker by setting up datasources in the cfusion admin page, and then copying the neo-datasource.xml configuration to my host machine.After that, I adjusted my docker compose to mount the neo-datasource.xml to it’s respective location: volumes: - ./coldfusion/neo-datasource.xml:/opt/coldfusion/cfusion/lib/neo-datasource.xmlThis works.Though, this only works locally, and not on kubernetes. In my attempt to replicate this for kubernetes, I have mounted the neo-datasource.xml into my kuberntes deployment via configmap, but cfusion attempts to write into neo-datasource.xml which is an issue because kubernetes configmaps are always read-only. Here’s the correlating log error: Unable to install SQL package: coldfusion.server.ServiceRuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/coldfus

The ColdFusion 2025 zip installers available for download at https://guides.adobe.com/coldfusion/en/docs/install-and-configure-coldfusion/coldfusion-downloads.html do not match the MD5 checksums linked from that page at https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/2025/zipinstaller/Checksum_CF2025_.zipinstaller.txtIt looks the zip installers were updated with Update 8 but the checksums haven’t been updated.

Adobe has released ColdFusion 2025 Update 10 and ColdFusion 2023 Update 21. The releases introduce some important advancements that reinforce a clear direction: secure-by-default behavior, tighter control, and better developer governance. Download the updatesColdFusion 2025 updates ColdFusion 2023 updatesThis update focuses heavily on addressing critical security concerns while also giving developers more control over how their applications interact with external systems, attachments, and XML processing.Security fixes and cumulative patchesBoth updates address multiple vulnerabilities that could result in arbitrary code execution, privilege escalation, and security control bypass.From an operational standpoint, this update is cumulative, which means patch adoption does not require sequential upgrades. However, teams skipping prior updates should account for behavioral changes introduced in intermediate versions, especially in areas that now enforce stricter validation.Attachment handli

First of all, I have no coldfusion experience at all. So when answering or asking for coldfusion specifics, please try to keep your answer/question somewhat lightweight :)I’m trying to setup a minimal cfusion2025 image that runs on openshift.

Hello! Our software company operates a commercial CMS platform called AreaENGINE and has multiple customer websites hosted on a single ColdFusion 2025 server instance.  My question is: Can a ColdFusion 2025 Standard Named User License (NUL) be used for this type of commercial service?  We'd like to know if there are any restrictions regarding the number of websites, domains, or customers hosted on a given serverso we can confirm the licensing model before launching new customer services.
