ColdFusion

We are pleased to announce that we have preview builds available for the following updates: ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 6 ColdFusion (2016 release) Update 13   The preview updates contain fixes for bugs that were reported after the release of the previous updates. We also recommend that you upgrade the connectors after applying these preview updates.   IMPORTANT: These are preview builds and we DO NOT recommend applying them to your production environment.   The minimum update versions are Update 11 and later for ColdFusion (2016 release) and Update 4 or later for ColdFusion (2018 release) respectively, due to a recent change in code signing certificates.   For more information on downloading the preview builds and applying these, see Download and apply the preview builds.

Trying to setup coldfusion 2018 on SUSE Linux using systmd service file.Using the following:[Unit]Description=Adobe ColdFusion 2018Requires=network.targetAfter=multi-user.target[Service]Type=forkingExecStart=/opt/coldfusion2018/cfusion/bin/coldfusion startExecStop=/opt/coldfusion2018/cfusion/bin/coldfusion stopExecReload=/opt/coldfusion2018/cfusion/bin/coldfusion restart[Install]WantedBy=multi-user.target But CF will not start or it starts and stops.  Will only work using an interactive startup.  /opt/coldfusion2018/cfusion/bin/coldfusion start There is no documentation that I can find regarding setting up CF as a service on Linux distros.Any thoughts?

Whenever I Install ColdFusion2016 updates, it does not show the latest update number in updates tab. Howver under hf-updates it shows the insatlled update and also shows in lib/updates folder.I restarted the CF services howver no luck.  Even When I open update file under hf-updates folder it also shows the older version.How can I fix this problem.

Hi,Since quite a few years I've been running some applications under CF 9 on a Windows 2008 webserver.This system will not been supported by Microsoft anymore starting next year, so I'm thinking about some migration toward Windows 2016 or 2018.The questions are:1. is CF 9 installable on this sytem?2. is it possible to run the 32 bit version, since I have some CFX_ modules running in 32 bit mode?

I use coldfuaion 9 and mysql 5.7. Itry Utf8, utf8mb4 but the rasult is the same. how can i save data in mysql which show the record as real character? Thanks

To Adobe,I know you probably can't answer this but what are Adobe's plans for ColdFusion? I get mixed messages, particularly from sister products and your main www.adobe.com web site. Cases in point:Dreamweaver dropped support for CF when it went CC. I still use CS5 because frankly CFBuilder sucks. DW states "Build the best sites for any browser or device. See how you can quickly create responsive sites, preview them on actual mobile devices, and even extract assets and styles from Adobe Photoshop comps directly into your projects." I also read somewhere where it claimed to be the #1 tool for developing websites but it has better support for PHP and .Net than CF. Is this a veiled statement of the future of CF or simply the DW team not playing well with the CF team?These forums used to use a CF based forum application, now it's Jive which uses a JSP framework (which again sucks. but I regress). If Adobe does not use CF for their own customer facing portals, what does that say for CF?Tod

We are excited to announce that we will soon open up the pre-release for the next major version of ColdFusion. To express interest in this pre-release, please fill up this survey   The next version of ColdFusion is a game changing release for ColdFusion with significant focus on modernization of the platform, cloud integration and support for microservice architectures.   Here is the vision statement for ColdFusion next: “To be the modernized platform of choice for building cloud-native microservice applications with absolute focus on ease of use without getting locked to a particular cloud vendor (multi-cloud).”   While the vision statement may look too broad now, you will get a good sense of how all these pieces fit in once you join the pre-release and hear from Adobe.   For more information about what’s coming up, you may also look the slide deck from the presentation at CFSummit 2019 at Las Vegas.   Sign up here for the pre-release!

I've seen variations of this post through the years, but I wondering if anything has changed. I still use Dreamweaver CS5 because I can quickly right-click any tag, enter the options I need for that tag, and continue text editing. I've tired later versions of Dreamweaver, Notepad +, Sublime text, Coldfusion Builder stand alone and eclipse. I literally just want to right click and get my tag options otherwise, it's just a text editor. I tried forcing myself to use other editors just to get used to it, but it just slows me down the second I need to edit tag options. word counter  VidMate [URL removed by Moderator] Thanks in advance for any responses.  

I was positive i'd posted this yesterday, but i didn't see it on my profile page.  So here it is again, possibly with different details. Coldfusion 11 (server config, dev profile)RedHat 7.7Appache httpd (yum installed and updated, RedHat 7 uses systemctl to run services like httpd) We couldn't restore our dev CF server from backup when it went down so i had to re-create it. I am a passable unix admin but i have never administered CF on Unix before.  These issues may could be related to ANYTHING and be addressed in the forums somewhere somewhere but when i searched on my issue keywords the descriptions didn't seem to fit.  And sadly the person who built it originally has left. Order of installRedHat -> Apache -> CF before installing CF I am able to browse to the html on the apache web site During install i attempted to connect the connector to httpd using the systemctl httpd control file and when that had the same problem i'm describing i re

Hey allAm very new to coldFusion, am getting a 404 error even though the file does exist. could anyone have a solution to this  Server Error404 - File or directory not found.The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.The web site you are accessing has experienced an unexpected error.Please contact the website administrator.The following information is meant for the website developer for debugging purposes.Error Occurred While Processing RequestFile not found: /ana-mm/equipment/dataloader/ChemTrace_dataload.cfcResources:Check the ColdFusion documentation to verify that you are using the correct syntax.Search the Knowledge Base to find a solution to your problem.Browser PostmanRuntime/7.19.0Remote Address 10.2.7.114ReferrerDate/Time 07-Nov-19 06:21 PMStack Tracecoldfusion.runtime.TemplateNotFoundException: File not found: /ana-mm/equipment/dataloader/ChemTrace_dataload.cfcat coldfusion.filter.PathFilter.invoke(P

Looking for ideas on how to place an outbound telephone call from ColdFusion. We have a goal of being able to place a call when certain urgent conditions are met, and deliver a synthesized or prerecorded message. Thinking this has to have been done before. (We are not robocalling - I promise!) Email, SMS, XMPP etc. are not appropriate. Thanks,

I am trying to generate a pdf using cfhtmltopdf with a QR code in it. My code displays the QR code without the cfhtmltopdf tag however when I add the tag the page is blank. I am using the jquery from https://www.jqueryscript.net/other/Canvas-Table-QR-Code-Generator.html to create the QR code.  I have tried copying all the actual scripts into the tag instead of links and that didn't help. Looking for a solution - I'm open to a different method of generating the QR code if that works.  Thanks in advance... <cfhtmltopdf> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js" integrity="sha384-q8i/X+965DzO0rT7abK41JStQIAqVgRVzpbzo5smXKp4YfRvH+8abtTE1Pi6jizo" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../src/jquery.qrcode.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../src/qrcode.js"></script> <div id="qrcodeCanvas"></div> <script> $('#qrcodeCanvas').qrco

I presume from the recent update of ColdFusion 2016 (Update 12) that JDK 12 is the highest version I can go to. The problem is that when I search on Oracle it's saying 12 is no longer supported and to go to 13 Does anyboy have a link to 12? The Oracle download page goes from 13 down to 11, no 12 showinghttps://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Has anybody tried 13?  

I continue to receive an Empty String error while trying to update a date type field (SQL Server).I'm using the NULL attribute, but that doesn't change anything when I pass an empty date field in my form. Any ideas how to handle this?SET [eyeExamDate] = <cfqueryparam value= "#createdate(year(formdata.examMonth), month(formdata.examMonth), 01)#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" null="Yes" />The function works fine with a date, but with none I have no luck.I've tried using a cfparam in case there is no date passed, but that doesn't work. 

I want to retrieve  data that is store in a database.  I will use the #evaluate(string)# function to execute the coldfusion code in the data that is returned.  It works fine for simple variable but hangs up when I try to execute a stored query.  Any ideas?example:Database: Table: Cell: "<cfquery datasource="#session.dsn#" name="getcust">select * from customer where cust_id = #url.cust_id#</cfquery>" I query the database for that cell and it will not evaluate the query.  Is this possible?

TSIA.  I have a Solr Collection of questions asked by users (our own internal AUA).  Every time a user submits a question, the question is inserted into a database and the Solr Collection reindexed. Just on the small chance that two users submit a question at about the same time, I don't want the second question to trigger a reindex until after the first question reindex is completed.  So is it possible to lock a Solr Collection each time it is automatically reindexed? V/r, ^ _ ^

What is the best to create minified JS and CSS files?  I've done in the past using an IDE and automatically durring the "File Save" process.  However, now Im working with a team where everyone uses a different IDE. My preference is to create some sort of asset manager that uses yuicompressor (https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor) that creates minified files on the fly if they currently are not found on the server. I'd like to call the yuicompressor jar file directly with Coldfusion withouth using cfexecute.  Is this possible?

Hello,  I see that there are two places to post ColdFusion questions on Adobe sites: right here at community.adobe.com and over at  https://coldfusion.adobe.com, so long as you characterize your post as a question. This support community site seems like the logical place to get questions answered by the community, and so when you post a question over at https://coldfusion.adobe.com/ site, to whom are these questions posted? Adobe's ColdFusion employees? Perhaps links on each of these pages to each other should be established so that community members are aware of and leverage both options. Thanks.

I am trying to get the jre-8u231-windows-x64.exe file to update the Java 1.8.0_u221 on my CF servers but I am not seeing it anywhere on this page. Anyone thoughts?  https://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html#additionalThirdPartyInstallers

On Adobe's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Adobe ColdFusion Standard (2018 release) webpage under Pricing, editions, and upgrading (https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/standard/faq.html#Pricingeditionsandupgrading) it says that Adobe ColdFusion (2018 release) Standard Edition costs US$2,499 per two CPUs. If the computer I am installing Adobe ColdFusion Standard (2018 release) has a single physical CPU and multiple cores for example an 8-Core Intel CPU, will a single Adobe ColdFusion Standard (2018 release) license work on my computer or is it required that I must purchase 4+ Adobe ColdFusion Standard (2018 release) licenses (4+ times US$2,499)? Does hyperthreading CPU double the core count?

I'm working on creating a data conversion extract and need to split a string into multiple lines, 132 chars each.  At this time, they don't want to break at the last space before the 132 chars, they just want to continue it on the next line.  I'm fairly new to coldfusion and am not sure how to do this.  Suggestions, please?Thank you. -=Rob=-

Windows 2008 R2 serverCF9, CF11, & CF2016 installed (development server)Java JRE 1.8.0_91When I try to start the ColdFusion 2016 Add-On Service it fails immediately and does not load into memory.  I tried loading an admin command prompt and navigated to the Jetty folder and ran the command line directly from there too.jetty.exe -zglaxservice ColdFusion2016Add-onServicesThis results in no output and the service does not load.  However, if I load just jetty.exe by itself without command switches the server starts up and loads into memory.There are no new logs generated in the jetty/logs folder.

We have a CF2018 Standard server currently running 3 scheduled tasks.  Each task sends an email.  I noticed that, when recently adding the third task, which is scheduled to run first (2:10AM), after a scheduled restart of the CF App Server Service (9PM), it would run, but not send an email.  I decided to bracket this task with two other ones, 1 minute before and 1 minute after, which would send test emails.  With those two tasks in place, the 2:09AM task would run, but not send an email, the 2:10 task would run and would now send an email, and the 2:11 task would also run and send an email.  I disabled the CF App Server Service restart, and now all tasks send an email.  This leads me to think that, after a CF App Server Service restart, the first task to run that sends an email will not, in fact, send and email. Has anyone seen this behavior in CF before? TIA,Scott A clarification - It's not that the email does not send.  It's that the
