Apache connector recreation

We are running CF2018 Update 3 with external web server (Apache) and we are getting ready to update the server to Update 5. I understand that I’ll have to upgrade to Update 4 before we go to 5. I was reading through documentation (https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-2018-update-5.html#Connectorconfiguration) and it says that we have to “Recreate Connector”.After upgrading to Update 5 I ran the connector and got message that it was already configured:[root@server1]# ./wsconfig -ws Apache -bin /usr/sbin/httpd -script /usr/sbin/apachectl -dir /etc/httpd/conf/ -vcommand line: -ws Apache -bin /usr/sbin/httpd -script /usr/sbin/apachectl -dir /etc/httpd/conf/ -v  This web server is already configured for ColdFusion. Do we have to run wsconfig just to make sure mod_jk.so gets updated? thanks

Error after accessing ColdFusion Administrator using the connector port

UPDATE (10/10/2019): We’ve have now included binaries for 32-bit versions of ColdFusion. The locations are also updated.   Users who had installed Update 5 of ColdFusion (2018 release) and Update 12 of ColdFusion (2016 release) encountered an error after they'd tried accessing the ColdFusion Administrator using their connector port. The issue was reported by a few users that it might impact all their websites. This issue appears if and only if you access the ColdFusion Administrator using the web server port. We strongly recommend that you access ColdFusion Administrator only using the internal web server port (port 8500) without exposing the port externally.   However, if you still want to use the connector port, use these patches provided for your version of ColdFusion: ColdFusion (2018 release) ColdFusion (2016 release)   Unzip the files to any location in your computer. To apply the patch, follow the steps below:   IIS Navigate to [CF Home]\config\wsconf

SFTP Connection Issue w/ Domain service account.

I an using Cold Fusion 2016 Enterprise Edition on a Microsoft Windows 2016 server and IIS.   We do alot of file transfers to printers that are running Solaris Unix via SFTP using the CFFTP secure="yes" option.  On certains system the SFTP portion hangs infinitely, or errros out with a auth timeout.   This only occurs when Cold Fusion is running with a AD domain account, and does not occur if I run Cold Fusion with the local system account.   I've tried using both Key/passphease and username/password to login. Has anyone come across this issue before, and is there a fix?   I am currently running Cold Fusion 2016 using the local system account however the security implementaiton guides I need to follow state that I should be running the service with  domain account. CFFTP Code using: <cfftp action="open" server="#ip#" connection="foo" secure="yes" username="#username

Enable Null Support issue in CF2018

I'm setting up CF 2018 (with Update 5) and am having an issue - it seems that "Enable Null Support" option in CF Admin does nothing.  I have some API results that can return null values - eg; json {"FirstName":"Fred","LastName":null, etc} and when I cfdump the struct it has "undefined" as the value for LastName (after doing a deserializejson()). In ColdFusion 9 (which I'm porting over to 2018), the value for LastName shows as "null". My issue is that in CF2018 when I try and access this variable it throws an error "Variable LastName is undefined". It doesn't seem to make a difference if you check the box for "Enable Null Support" or not in CF Admin. I've tried selecting it, un-selecting it, even restarting CF after each update. Is this a bug? I'm using CF2018 with Update 5 (version 2018.0.05.315699). Any ideas?

CFCASE oddity

Hello, all, Look.. I get it.. I've been a developer for 19 years, now.  I know that to a computer, 1 = true = yes, they are all the same from a boolean point of view.  But from a string perspective, they are not.  So, when I create a switch/case statement to evaluate a URL parameter, <cfcase value="true,yes" delimiters=","> should be valid.  I should not get an error message that "cfswitch has a duplicate cfcase for value 1.0".  A user might use ?myparam=true or ?myparam=yes.  (This is to trigger an update event, btw.) And what is with the "Email me when someone replies" defaulting to checked???  I went into settings to disable this and it's apparently not working.  I'm sick and tired of getting home from work to see five hundred emails from Adobe telling me that someone replied to a thread I'm participating in. Gads, I miss the days of Jive. V/r, ^ _ ^

Adobe ColdFusion license bait and switch for SaaS companies

[UPDATE - The following is a very long thread.  If you tire of reading all the updates, see our update below from Sep 28, 2019 for the resolution.]   The compilation below is the entire conversation Adobe deleted (how convenient) when moving to the new forums.  Unfortunately, the original links to those how posted are not live, but you will be able to read the entire conversation.  If you want to see the original post in the old Adobe forums, here it is - not sure how long the link will live. But the text of that original post and the many replies to it are offered below:   Original Post Checking in to see if anyone else out there is dealing with Adobe bait and switch based on havingan application developed in CF that other businesses use?

ORM: nested objects without foreign keys

I'm trying to use ORM to CRUD some change logs. I already have a pretty simple table structure that would require 2 joins. I've created entities for both of the joined objects. I'd like to fetch change logs with these objects populated. I already have the tables. I don't have or want any official foreign keys setup; I just use the "_fk" convention to indicate it references the PK of another table. change_logs --------------- change_log_id change_log_type_id_fk message user_id_fk change_log_types ---------- change_log_type_id name users ---------- user_id name ------------------component entityname="ChangeLog" accessors="true" persistent="true" table="change_logs" { property name="id" type="numeric" column="change_log_id" fieldtype="id" generator="native"; property name="message" type="string"; property name="type" column="change_log_type_id_fk" cfc="ChangeLogType"; property name="user" column="user_id_fk" cfc="User"; } component entityname="ChangeLog

Left outer join from two datasources

This is an age old question, and we're currently using an age old version (CF9), upgrading soon.  I'm a developer of 25 years but have only been using CF for about 8 mos. I have to get data from two different datasources and join them together.  Outer join, of course.  I've read many topics on this.  I had originally done this by looping at a query of the main table and selecting from a query from second table.  My supervisor & former CF programmer doesn't want us to use a loop/select. They first suggested a UNION of the two tables but that's not giving me the results I need. I thought of selecting from one table then inserting them into a temp table on the second datasource but when I try to do an insert into the temp table then selecting from the query of the first table, CF tells me I can't do that either with error "Executing the SQL statement is not allowed."Any suggestions on correct ways to outer join tables from two datasources w

Uploading the file names of my images to my database table

I'm having an issue with uploading or looping through the the file names of my images to my database table.I am able to select various images and upload the selected image on my local machine to a specific folder that I designate. After the image files are put into my folder, I am having some difficulties because I want to insert the file names of the images that I just inserted into my folder, into my database. I'm trying to use the cffile parameters to do that.My question: Being that it is multiple files being uploaded at once, do I need to do a cfloop on a  cfquery insert in order to capture and insert the names into my database? My attempt at the code is below. The upload work just fine. But It chokes out at the insert portion. What do you think could be the issue?<cfparam name="form.fileUpload3" default=""><cfif len(trim(form.fileUpload3))><cffile action="uploadall" fileField="fileUpload3" destination="#cookie.c.webpathmultipleimages#" accept = "image/jpeg
