ColdFusion

Hallo, I installed CFB2018 on my mac and trying to run my application.In application.cfc i have a <cfinclude template="/adirectoryunderwwwroot/fileincluded.cfm"> and always i get a could not find the template error.Some informations:-The code directory is under wwwroot folder-The path is mapped with a sym link.-CFB2018 server is Coldfusion+Tomcat version and i changed the context.xml file to allow linking.-CFB2018 server document root is under wwwroot folder-When i try to navigate to the path using the browser I can reach that folder (so I think tomcat is correctly setup)-I passed a chmod 777 on all files under the wwwroot-I unchecked save class in the server admin console-I tried with and without mapping in coldfusion and it doesn't change the behaviour.Do you have any advice?

Hi All,Need some help/pointers on what could be wrong here.ColdFusion Server fails to start, when giving add-exports java.args. The error in the Windows service log is "file not found" (no further details on what file is missing). Since the server fails to start, there is no CF logs to post.Environment: ColdFusion 2018Java 10.0.1Windows 2016# Arguments to VMjava.args=-server  -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m --add-exports java.instrument/sun.instrument=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.rmi/sun.rmi.transport=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.nio=ALL-UNNAMED --add-modules=java.xml.ws --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/sun.util.cldr=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/sun.util.locale.provider=ALL-UNNAMED -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=384m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xbatch -Djdk.attach.allowAttachSelf=true -Dcoldfusion.home={application.home} -Duser.language=en -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home} -Dcom.sun.xml.bind.v2.bytecode.ClassTailor.noOptimize=true -Dcoldfusion.libPath={appl

I am finding and uploading documents with this code:<cfif structKeyExists(form, "uploadfile1") and len(form.uploadfile1)>   <cfset destination = "//server/target folder/">   <cffile action="upload" filefield="uploadfile1" destination="#destination#" nameConflict="makeUnique"></cfif>However, I would also like to create Shortcuts to this file in one or more other folders. In Windows Explorer, shortcut entries look like this:MyFile.docx - Shortcut          6/17/2019 1:40 PM          Shortcut          3 KBIs there a way to do this in CF? If so, can you provide some code or a location where I can find some advice on how to do it? I use Dreamweaver CS6 as my development environment.Thanks.

Hello,I am attempting on adding an additonal PDF Service manager in order to spread the load between two, but when I click "Add PDF Service Manager" I receive the following message:Error adding PDF Service Manager. Please ensure that you have entered a correct PDF Service hostname and port. Check logs for more detailsThe current Service manager has the default port with localhost for the "Host Name"The new one I am attempting to create also has the local host for hostname and I have tried a few ports around the default as well as some in the 5000-7000 range and still getting the same issue.These are found in the coldfusion-out log:"Error adding PDF Service Manager. Please ensure that you have entered a correct PDF Service hostname and port.""coldfusion.document.DocumentServiceImpl$LocalServiceManagerException: You are not allowed to add Local service manager."

Questions about ColdFusion Builder or possibly ColdFusion in general. I'm trying to wrap my head around Projects and Workspaces. With Java, there's a directory-namespace hierarchy that associates programs under one package. I'm simplifying it, of course, but having this structure allows me to share code within one package but I'm still unclear how that works with CF.I incorrectly imported a CF project into CF Builder using these steps: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10488276/coldfusion-builder-open-project. Now CF Builder says that my project doesn't belong to a CF project and tried to follow these steps to apply CF Nature to the project (https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/using-coldfusion-builder/managing-projects.html#Importexportanddeleteprojects) but error message says "Project is already open in the workspace." So now I'm confused because I'm told that my project isn't and also is a CF Project? And why would it make a difference if it's open in the workspace? What's a Project

Anyone know why my Server Updates page has quit showing the installer or updates pane? I was able to apply previous updates to 2016 so not sure why it’s just decided to quit working.

Hi,CF 10 docs seem a tad thin on the subject of silent / unattended / scripted installation and configuration.I need to find a fully automated (scripted) way to do these things:1) install of ColdFusion 10 server in standalone mode2) create additional servers instances3) configure each server instance separately (settings, data sources, mappings, etc)Is this currently possible with CF 10? If yes, where's the documentation?I'm aiming for a Chef cookbook for performing unattended CF10 installations on a farm of headless Linux hosts. Manual configuration through the Administrator UI is a definite deal breaker here.Thanks in advance!Best regards,Jan

I'm getting the following error in the CF Administrator after I installed Release/Update 3 (ColdFusion 2018). The Enterprise manager option has appeared in the left hand side menu when I login to all CF instances and when I click on it I get the error below. Previously, this option was only available on the CFUSION instance. Has anyone had the issue like this before?Variable PROCESSSERVER is undefined.The error occurred in /cfdisk/coldfusion2018/<instance>/wwwroot/CFIDE/administrator/entman/serverlist.cfm: line 13Called from /cfdisk/coldfusion2018/<instance>/wwwroot/CFIDE/administrator/entman/serverlist.cfm: line 1Called from /cfdisk/coldfusion2018/<instance>/wwwroot/CFIDE/administrator/entman/index.cfm: line 32711 : 12 : 13 : <cfset servers=processServer.doList()>14 : 15 : <cfset clusters=clusterManager.getClusters()>....Stack Traceat cfserverlist2ecfm1056828963._factor9(/cfdisk/coldfusion2018/<instance>/wwwroot/CFIDE/administrator/entman/serverlist

I just installed CF 2016 Update 11 on 3 servers (updating from CF 2016 U10).  I use the manual process (using the silent installation via the GUI never works for me, even though I have full access to start and stop services).  The update worked fine, and I verified the build number afterward.  I also verified that the websites on those server instances were running as expected.About an hour later, I noticed some sites were down.  2 of the 3 servers had failed.  The CF Application Server service was simply stopped on those 2 servers.There are no errors or logs about it stopping (nothing in the CF logs or the Windows event log).  I restarted the service and the sites came back up.  The third server was fine.Just in case, I ended up restarting 1 server that had failed and the 1 server that was fine.  (I can't restart the other server that failed because it's production).  I'm now watching this closely to see if/when it fails again.We're on Wind

I have recently installed CF on Mac OSX. I tried to work on projects previously developed on Windows; in these projects paths are defined like this: <cfset path = '/folder1/folder2/file.cfm'>It seem to me incredibile, but CF don't recognize "/" as character to define path instead of Window's "\". How can I fix this problem? Is there a way to fix it without edit project's code (like define a rule for CF) ?Thanks in advance,R.

Looking to create a schedule by week.  The current DB just has the short date format in it.

Hi all, Recently upgraded our CF servers to CF2018 (from a version I'm embarrassed to mention), and installed Builder 2018 license on a workstation - previously Builder 3.I'm now confused to find the "Generate Phonegap Build" project option, "Phonegap Status" tab, and Preferences->Coldfusion->Phonegap dialog is missing. What am I missing - I found it very convenient. Is it no longer necessary?Thanks,

This is not an advanced issue ... but I cannot find in this forums software where to ask general questions about CF. Navigation could be far better!Ok ... I have an integer ... 43629 ... the day of a given date since 1/1/1900. How do I do the reverse? I need to make a date from that integer? Anyone?

Hi,We see a lot of these errors in coldfusion-out.log:"removeOnExceptions is true for ourdsn. Closed the physical connection."The errors are expected in this case, but we get a lot of them. Is there any way to disable this specific error? There was an article online about editing one of CF's XML files, but it was for CFMX and we are on CF2018 Enterprise. Advice appreciated, as always.Thanks,Mark

Hi,I have a new ColdFusion 9 install on a CentOS server with Apache 2.2I applied the 9.0.1 update.The install is Standard, not Enterprise.I can access the admin at /CFIDE/... perfectly.The problem is when I try to access the first domain I have setup on server, where I installed ColdFusion on Wheels. When I type (using example instead of real domain) www.example.com or www.example.com/index.cfm, I get a ColdFusion error screen saying that it cannot find index.cfm . But index.cfm is there.I checked ColdFusion logs, and I have noticed that apparently, somewhere, two single quotes are being appended to the file name.This is what I see in cfserver.log:05/14 09:28:47 Error [jrpp-140] - File not found: /index.cfm The specific sequence of files included or processed is: /home/folder/folder/index.cfm''(with those two single quotes in the end. The file, without the single quotes, exists. The path included in the log file is the real valid path)From application.log:"Error","jrpp-140","05/14/12",

My client is considering buying a system that is based on Coldfusion.How should I evaluate whether this application has had the care and feeding necessary for it to be a healthy application with a future?What is the future of Coldfusion in general?  Has Adobe published an official roadmap (I am not interested in seeing some blog)?What are the license fees for an application deployed on a client site?What are some of the dependencies installed on the host computer?  (installed on a windows computer)?Are there RPA (robotic process automation) tools that work well with Coldfusion based web pages?I am asking the vendor these same questions but I want to do my own independent research.What other questions should I ask the vendor?

Just to let folks know, I have done a small update on cflive.net and added togetherJS to allow collaboration.Hope you find it useful.

Environment: Coldfusion2016 StandardI've imported the domain root certificate to both jre/bin/cacerts and to jre/lib/security/cacerts successfully but when using secure="CFSSL_CLIENT_AUTH" and useTLS="True", I get the message "CFSSL_CLIENT_AUTH, a client certificate is required to be imported into the security database".  Both the clientcert path and clientcertpassword are correct. 

Hi,We are on a cloud server with CF2018 Enterprise. We want to implement access restrictions to specific folders for certain user IP addresses and, of course, CGI variables such as REMOTE_ADDR are useless since we just get our cloud proxy address. CGI.REMOTE_ADDR has bit more promise as I am not sure it can be easily spoofed, but has anyone tackled such a problem and what technique did you use?We also have CGI.X_FORWARDED_FOR and this does have the client's IP address, but again I am not sure as to its "spoofability". If we ensured that the X_FORWARDED_FOR was the IP we wanted and the REMOTE_ADDR was our proxy gateway address, would that be sufficient to allow/disallow users to certain folders to run .cfm scripts?Thanks,Mark

When running the CF 2018 installer, it does not detect that I have CF11 already installed. I have a Windows 2016 server with CF11/IIS installed on the 😧 drive. The installer doesn't give me the option to configure my web server for 2018

We have a test server running CF2016 with code migrated from CF10.Everything works great... until... we pull a change from our repo that includes an edit to one of our CFC's.We have a chain of CFC's that extend one another... on a server restart, it takes approximately 40 seconds for the CFC chain to init.  It takes a bit of time, but there are no issues.If we make a single change to one of the CFCs in this chain on CF2016, it appears to be causing CF to "re-init" the entire chain and brings the server to a grinding halt under load.When we do the exact same thing on CF10, it handles it like a pro.I would love any suggestion on what to try here.  We've tried playing with various settings, but it seems there's something different in CF2016 that we are not aware of.You help is greatly appreciated!

How do you change the ColdFusion Administrator password? Does this require a restart of a service or any interruption of service?

I recently had up set up a new development laptop on which I use CF and mySQL.  I have had this application running for almost 10 years on various versions without a problem, but this is the first install on a Windows 10 machine (don't know how Windows 10 would affect this, but that is the only difference).After getting everything set up and running I came across a weird error and am wondering if anyone else has seen it.I have information I collect in which I need to encrypt a date of birth and store it.  I have this field in the database as a VARCHAR, not a date.  However, on the new machine, when trying to update or insert with cfupdate/cfinsert, I receive an error that the encrypted value is not a valid date or time string.  This happens even if I remove any validation of a valid date format and just leave it strictly as a text value.I am able to manually code an SQL update/insert which is accepted, so that would make me believe it is a CF issue, however, I am al
