ColdFusion

I'm using  CF2016 on a Windows computer. There are third-party info graphic plug-ins like extendstudio. But the information has to be hard coded into instead of being dynamic. Coldfusion has its own charting capabilities but I'm looking for an open source, responsive infographic plug-in or software that I can load my <cfoutput> data in so that the info graphic plug-in can interpret it to produce charts and graphs. Does anybody know of any open source software I can do that for coldfusion?

I'm using Coldfusion 2018 and I have created a cluster scheduled task in the cfadmin, however the task is not showing up in the administrative console. I can see it in the cluster database however so I'm sure if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug. Any help is appreciated.

We are migrating from Coldfusion 11 to Coldfusion 2018. We are migrating from/to same server. After the running the installation, the install hangs at the importing settings. Have anyone seen this issue before.

I'm trying to create PDF document using <cfhtmltopdf> tag but it isn't working, any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Hi, I just installed Cold Fusion 2018 Enterprise Edition on an existing VM server running Windows Server 2012 R2.  This is my staging server and already has a working copy of Cold Fusion 11 Enterprise edition which is working fine. I installed the 2018.0.0.2 version for Windows 64. Afterwards, I installed each of the 7 hotfixes in order, and rebooted between each install.My Cold Fusion administrator works correctly in that I can log on, and view the different screens.  My database server is running MS SQL Server 2017.I imported all of my settings from my Cold Fusion 11 server, and I can click on the Verify checkbox of my SQL Server datasource and the status is returned as OK. However, when I try to run my existing Cold Fusion application, I get an error as soon as my application reaches the first query.  The error in application.log is: "Error","ajp-nio-8018-exec-1","02/13/20","14:40:12",PEApplication,"java/sql/Connection The specific sequen

I've created a web site that allows people to retrieve maps for apartment complexes. It works fine, but they need to know certain information for a search, like the name, address, bounding streets, etc. I'd like to let them click one button, once they're on or very near the property to retrieve the appropriate map. Could someone share a high-level view of no more than a few bullet points to guide me on the software and/or CF coding needed to do this? Google searches drive me nuts, for reasons I'm sure I don't have to explain. I'm thinking that I could store the GPS coordinates for each property in my database. How do I make the connection between those and my user's phone? You can see the site here: http://aptmaps.us. It covers only a small geographic area at the moment. Thanks!John

I just ran into a problem yesterday after restaring CF 2018 Ent. running on a Win 2012 R2 server.The CF site has been running for 6 years without any problems, and all of a suddenusing ORM (this.ormenabled = "true") breaks the application.After pulling the application appart, I was left with the application.cfc and index.cfm file.I discovered that the code within the onApplicationStart and the onSessionStart event are not beeing triggered. Changing this.ormenabled to "false" resolves the proble, as long as I stay away from the new modules that uses ORM. Has anyone seen the same behaviour?

I have a Coldfusion application running (entirely written by other people, but that I'm kind of managing now) that uses the cfNTauthenticate tag for users to log-in, but now I have been asked to make sure that using this is safe. I have read the official documentation of cfNTauthenticate, but it doesn't explain explicitly how the user name and password are authenticated against the NT domain.I am rather new to Coldfusion and not an expert of Windows so I might not be understanding some things in the documentation, but it really doesn't seem to mention this. The main question is, are the user name and password sent in clear to the Windows NT domain, or is it encrypted ? If any of you have some information about this, that would be very interesting for me.

We are running CF2018 Standard update 7 on IIS 10 (Windows Server 2016) and are seeing very unusual behavior.  Only the first call to a .cfm page returns valid HTML.  Each subsequent call returns a blank page and inspecting source shows an empty file.  If I stop the IIS application pool and restart it, IIS no longer responds at all, either for .cfm or static html pages.  If I completely reboot to get a clean slate, I again can get a response from the first .cfm page I visit and then everything hangs. Has anyone encountered such a scenario?  Any thoughts on where to look for information on debugging this? Thanks, Brian  

I am trying to set up a CF DSN using Access 365 (accdb) on win10 CF 2018 and I get this error messageUnable to update the NT registry.Variable DRIVERPATH is undefined.The google results are all over the board.Change the Registry key, change to 32 bit, etc. Is there a known solution to setting up this dsn?

CF2016 Enterprise, Windows 2012 R2 I had issues with this instance previously, but I was able to get HF installed manually, but now the CF Admin shows "There are no installed updates" and if I try to install any update I get the message "This update is already installed". If you try to install via the CF Admins, it just hangs and I have to start CF manually (Services). The update log ends with "INSTALLATION WAS CANCELLED BY USER DURING PRE-INSTALLATION".

Good afternoon. My apologies for the flurry of questions. This may seem like a rerun but I am working on a process that pulls in lines from a file one at a time. Each string is basically a list of tilde delimited values. Some of these values can vary in length or be NULL. I need to change the value of certain items in that list. I have tried using ListSetAt() to try to do this. I use the syntax below against the line below that. This should be changing the value of position 13 in that string, which is currently 48 to a value of 9. Rather, it is changing the value of what is now 0.3414 in position 16. It appears that it is still not recognizing those NULL values between tildes despite having that "YES" argument at the end. Again, any help would be appreciated.          <cfset row = ListSetAt(row,14,9,"~","YES")> MEPMD01~2POOP519~03092019113800PM~6480081580~~~1224714818389~OK~E~KWH~~000015~48~03092019124500AM~00~0.3414~00~0.3396~00~

Trying to get a few local server instances set up under CF 2018, and I’m having inconsistent results. Sometimes a new instance will start and run. Sometimes it won’t. Sometimes a modified instance (e.g., change port #) will run. Sometimes it won’t. Thus far, I’ve had as many as five running at once, and if I shut all of them down, the sames ones that refused to start before still don’t start. I can’t produce any consistent results that help me understand what causes certain servers to start and others not to. Is this something others deal with? Or could I have something weird in my installation of CF 2018? For those who notice such things, some weeks back, I was trying to set up CF to run under IIS, but I finally gave up in favor of the CF server. I never had such difficulty with IIS. Create / modify server instances all I wanted, they would all work reliably. Any advice? Thanks!John

Hi everybody! I’m struggling with an issue regarding a validation form and showing an error. If the user wants to Add a New User, and if he clicks Submit button without entering a value(number) into the Age field, an error message must be shown. After I click the Submit button, an error from ColdFusion administrator appears…While editing/adding the user information, the Age validation should be in place. If no value is provided, an error should occur. Empty value should not be allowed. // Some validation formpublic array function validateForm (required string last_name,required string first_name,required numeric age)output="false"hint="Some validation to from not empty"{var Error = arrayNew(1);if(arguments.last_name EQ ''){arrayAppend(Error,'Please provide a valid Last name');}if(arguments.first_name EQ ''){arrayAppend(Error,'Please provide a valid first name');}if(arguments.age EQ '' OR NOT IsNumeric(arguments.age) ){arrayAppend(Error,'The age is empty or not number');}return Err

ColdFusion2016 services are not getting started, It was running since last year now they are stopped suddenly, while I'm checking the cf-out logs it says  "Either the server is already running or some other application is using the HTTP port"CF-Error logs says "failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. Threads are going to be renewed over time to try and avoid a probable memory leak." I have checked no other application is using it except coldFusion.When I stop IIS site then ColdFusion services gets started. Can any one help me here.

For reasons that don't require advice to upgrade to newer software, I'm trying to install an older version of CF server coupled with Coldfusion Studio. I'm doing this on a VM. I got CF5 / CF Studio 4.5.2 installed under Windows XP. But, WinXP is, as far as I can tell, unusable with only spotty access to the internest and, worst of all, IIS allows the creation of only one website. So, I created a VM running Windows Vista, assuming it was old enough to run the CF combo I described above. But, it turns out that CF5 is incompatible with Vista. Won't install. So, given my stated goals, what operating system and what version of CF Server do I need to install? I could use Homesite or Homesite+ instead of CF Studio. So I'm not locked in on that. My problem with later operating systems is that the other software I want to use gets buggy under Windows 7 and unusable under anything later than that. Many thanks,John

Hello, all, We are using Apache web server and have modded the mod_jk file to pass things like CN to ColdFusion Server.  This has worked just fine for many, many years.  However, we will soon be experiencing a change with our CACs that has us scrambling to make changes before the deadline. I'd like to switch our apps to authenticate via Principal Name instead of CN.  What changes do I need to make to our Apache config files to pass Principal Name to CF Server? V/r, ^ _ ^

Is it possible to get an actual lockdown guide for CF 2018?The documentation for the auto-lockdown tool is not very detailed and it has been finishing with errors, with most of the lockdown tasks remaining incomplete.I've hardened instances from CF8 and up several times before - at this point it would be much faster to follow a guide rather than continue to troubleshoot the tool.

Hi everyone! How can I implement a login button to redirect to ADFS and afterwards to logout page? And after that to implement a logout button request logout to ADFS.

Will Adobe be posting the Java SE 8u241 Update File? I usually get it here - https://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html#additionalThirdPartyInstallers

Hi everyone,     I have a new web server running Server 2016 and CF 2018 Standard.  No issues with install and the cfadmin site opens and runs fine.  However, the additional sites we have added will not run cfm or any of the other associated file types.  All it does is prompt for a download.  I've checked everything I can think of and still no luck.  Below is the list of what I have tried.  I'm hoping someone out there has a silver bullet for this issue.  Appreciate any help you can provide.  Thanks! Have removed and added the web servers in the Adobe Web Server Configuration toolHave removed and added the app pools associated with the web sitesHave checked all file permissions to make sure both the CF user and the App Pool have accessHave checked all CF settings with a different server (same config) that is working as expectedHave checked all IIS settings with a different server as well
