Updating from Server 2008r2 to 2012r2 to keep support. Concerns from previous ITM left the environment on 2008r2 instead of updating. What changes environmental changes will I need to make to allow CF10 to run after updating MS Server to 2012r2? Please Help!

When configuring a username and password for an SMTP mail server, I'd like to know where/how the password is stored on the server. I did find out where the password file is stored for the ColdFusion administrator password: C:\ColdFusion2016\cfusion\lib\password.properties However this isn't the SMTP server's password that we would enter into the password field under ColdFusion Adminstrator's Server Settings > Mail. Is this stored in the same manner-encrypted-or is is stored in a file in plaintext non-encrypted? Thanks,Mikael  

Once upon a time, there used to be a big library of custom tags and things created by the community and made available to browse and download.  Generally speaking, everything I am looking to build, has already been built, in whole or in part, by someone before me.  It was helpful.  Does anything like that exist anywhere today?   Please let me know.

ColdFusion 11 version: 11,0,19,314546Edition: EnterpriseOperating System: Windows Server 2012 R2Java Version: 1.8.0_231 I'm having a problem with <cfexecute> once I enabled Sandbox Security on my CF11 Enterprise installation.  I have one ApacheCXF webservice client that is executed from withint the application.  I've done the following within this sandbox: enabled the cfexecute tag under the sandboxgiven Execute permission on the folder where the client and calling function reside ( same folder )given execute permission to the Windows user account and the service account on this directory.also tried full control access for user account and service account, as well as execute in sandbox for entire diretory. The error I'm getting is:An exception occurred when invoking an external process.The cause of this exception was that: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "<>" "execute"). Any suggestions?

At sudden i'm getting this error "This page isn't working HTTP ERROR 500 " whle hitting my coldfusion sites which are running on CF2016 and IIS 8.5 Can some one let me kneow the issue.

Hi,I am dealing with someone else's application and it's sort of a mess.They're using built in form validation so the server logs this: Form entries are incomplete or invalid.<ul><li>Data entered in the RATE field must be a number (you entered 'dave') and then returns a scary 500 server error, which doesn't really give the user any opportunity to fix their input. Why won't it just output that error to the browser like every other programming language?

I wanted to reinstall some old software that originally was designed to run on Windows XP 32-bit. Figuring I could also run Coldfusion 4.x through MX 7 (this is something I have reasons for wanting to do—I don't need to be advised to install newer server, thanks), I created a virtual machine and installed Windows XP. All would be fine, except that XP only allows for the creation of one web site under IIS 5.1, and I need to run more than one. So, it's back to the provervial drawing board for me.So, I'm shopping for a new Windows OS. In a Windows help forum where this one web site under IIS issue was discussed, someone suggested installing Windows Server 2003. This gets me off into the weeds. My main concern is that, at some point, my other software, created to run on Wind XP, started getting really funky under new OS's. I bought this software new in 2002, and I kept it through a few PC and OS upgrades. It definitely didn't like Windows 7 Pro, at all. Would run, but with errors, and

I am trying to write a Flex app to launch a PDF.The Flex app is able to grab data from the database ok.... however when I click a button on the Flex app to invoke a CFC to invoke <cfpdffrom>... an error message indicates...     Unable to invoke CFC - the pdf file specified in the cfpdfform tag either does not exist or is not accessible by this tag.When I change the path to the pdf, each subsequent error message shows the correct path to the pdf.  Thus, the path seems to be ok.I am able to launch the pdf ok via a .cfmHelp would be appreciated.--Bill

When you create and work with components, you use script components or tag ones? What's the difference and what is recommended to use?

I am looking for a Managed CF Cloud (Azure/AWS) Hosting company. So far I've only found one. Media3.net. Can anyone suggest one? Thanks!- Shawn 

I have installed Coldfusion 2018 in developer mode using the built in web server. It will serve up any coldfusion file (*.cfm) but nothing else. Even if the file is in the same direcotry. No *.html, *.jpg, *.png, nothing. At first I thought it was a permission issue because I had to alter the user the coldfusion service is running under. But since it still won't display files in the same directory as the *.cfm files it is displaying I am doubting that assumption.Does anyone have an idea why this might be happening?

ColdFusion 18 is not accepting excel files. After uploading my excel files I get a error saying "the proxy server is not reachable." Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

We are in the process of upgrading to ColdFusion 2018 from ColdFusion 2016 on Windows Server 2016, using IIS 10.  CF2018 update 7. Initially, we created a new IIS site and everything worked fine.  Then using the wsconfig tool, we pointed back to our existing IIS two sites that were previously configured with ColdFusion 2016.  *.cfm files wouldn't display.  Further investigation shows the 'Handler Mappings' for *.cfc and *.cfm are missing for the existing two sites.  The mappings do exist for the new IIS site and at the server level.  Not sure why the existing sites didn't 'inherit' those mappings, but they did inherit *.cfml, *.cfr, *.cfswf.  We've tried 'unconfiguring' and reconfiguring using the wsconfig tool several times.  Currently we're using the Universal site connection and there's only one wsconfig/{number} directory. We're going to attempt to add the handlers manually to each existing site, but is there a better way?  This is

I've had a scheduled task running every minute since last June, it's run fine.  Recently it stopped running.  I have a lot of other scheduled tasks that are still running fine. If I visit the page I want the task to visit, it runs fine.  The task Last Run column claims it ran.  If I click the Run Scheduled Task button I get the success message, but it doesn't seem to be going to the page to trigger the event I need it to. I'm on CF10. Any thought on why this would happen? Thanks 

https://superuser.com/questions/1288216/coldfusion-builder-2016-change-font-sizeI already posted over on superuser, but thought I'd post here as well.  In CFB 2016 trying to edit Window > Properties > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts > Basic > Text Font doesn't seem to work. Anyone see the same thing and/or have a workaround? In CFB 3 the exact same thing opened a dialog that let you change the font.  Here, it just spins for a half-second and does nothing.

Workin on ColdFusion 11, need to attach a file from amazon s3, can i attach with out using  coldfusion File tags? Does cfmail or cfmailparam support Amazon S3?

Recently my app was scanned for vulnerabilities and I was flagged for a few - mostly pertaining to the client variables and the assoicated cookies.  Specifically with a cookie being utilized called CFClient_SMITH (let's just say that my application is called SMITH). My hosting site does not allow session variables, so I must use client variables.  Evidently because there is not client storage set, all of the client varaibles are now being stored in the CFClient_SMITH and are available for the picking.  I am getting nailed for Privilege Escalation, User Impersonation, Forced browsing - just to name a few. I was told that by naming a clientstorage value this would eliminate this issue.  The hosting group told me to use a specific clientstorage value (let's say APPLE) and to set the client cookies to no as shown below:<cfapplication name="SMITH"        applicationtimeout="#createTimeSpan(0,4,0,0)#"    

Is there anywhere that will tell me when ColdFusion updates are released?  I'm assuming montlhy for regular updates and quarterly/bi-annually for major version updates.

In our application, we use J2EE session variables for session management. We recently migrated from ColdFusion 9 to ColdFusion 2018. After migration, the logout functionality is not working. What we found is that, in ColdFusion 2018, the cookie JSESSIONID is not getting cleared from the browser because the HttpOnly flag has been set to true in the browser. We tried to disable this HttpOnly flag in the browser in following ways,By disabling HttpOnly flag and Global Script Protection in CF admin.By modifying the jvm.config via CF admin by adding "-Dcoldfusion.sessioncookie.httponly=false". But this way the HttpOnly flag is still showing as enabled in the browser. Because of this, the client-side script is not able to clear the cookie JSESSIONID and hence logout functionality is not working. Is there any way, in CF2018, to disable the HttpOnly flag in the browser for the cookie JSESSIONID?. Note:In CF9, the HttpOnly flag is disabled in the browser for the coo
