ColdFusion

Hello, all,Our public facing page has recently developed some bizarre activity.For days it will run with no issues, then it will suddenly start generating error emails stating that a CFOUTPUT tag is exceeding the allowable time limit for a few hours, THEN it will start sending emails to us indicating that a CFINCLUDEd file cannot be found (the file that was originally exceeding the allowable time limit.)Specifically, we have a file called trans_form_new.cfm.  It is a cost estimate request form.  It CFINCLUDEs a menu from another folder.  The menu is the file that starts taking too long for a CFOUTPUT tag to complete.  After a few emails stating the CFOUTPUT tag is exceeding the allowable time, we start getting emails from trans_form_new.cfm stating that CF cannot find the /otherFolder/menu.cfm file that is clearly present.I am not aware if the CF service (or the CF server) is being restarted during any of this.  I _am_ aware that we have recently been applying

Could anybody tell me if there are any built in functions within CF2016 that would assist in importing a CSV file into SQL?At the moment I'm downloading a ZIP file from a data provider, taking the CSV out of it, putting it into Access, importing the Access into SQL, what a pain! It's time to automate it all!

I have the following cfif statement:<cfif status.datetime NEQ "" AND dateDiff('d',status.datetime,now()) GT 1 >It works however in rare occasions status.datetime might not be defined. When I change it to:<cfif isdefined("status.datetime") AND status.datetime NEQ "" AND dateDiff('d',status.datetime,now()) GT 1 >it stops working. What am I doing wrong?Thanks in advance for any help.Gary

I've been creating some forms and have run into an issue dragging text from Adobe Acrobat Pro DC into CF Builder 2016 V3.1.4 302777. If I drag and drop blocks of text (list items) some text gets "stuck" in the buffer and is kept at the end of the next block if it is smaller.  It's like Builder doesn't clear the buffer before putting the new text into it and just overwrites from the start of the buffer leaving the old text at the end of the buffer. If I copy & paste the extra text is not retained.  It appears to only happen on drag and drop operations.Has anyone else run into this issue?

I know the cfmailparam below marks my emails as Urgent (red exclamation mark) in Outlook mail:<cfmailparam name="X-Priority" value="1">However, I want the Urgent mark to show ONLY on the recipients in the TO: line and NOT the recipients in the CC: line. Is there a way to do that, or do I have to send two emails, one with the tag above and one without?Thanks.-Dale

Hello community, we have found today a very large isapi_redirect.log file under the C:\Coldfusion11\config\wsconfig\ folder.Does anyone know where can I set either the size or duration of the file?Thank you.

Kind of a newbie question.... We started using Twilio for SMS. Inbound texts are sent via an HTTP post using webhooks.  I'm a bit lost on how to convert the string I get to a structure I can work with. When I use: <cfset requestBody = toString( getHttpRequestData().content ) /> and dump requestbody to a text file I get:ToCountry=US&ToState=MA&SmsMessageSid=SMcaba8a187004c59cf83f1b97d3ff091c&NumMedia=0&ToCity=ROXBURY&FromZip=01760  ...etcLooks like & is the delimiter. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Gary

I was about to buy a hosting from a very famous hosting provider. They showed a list of features which they were offering along with that hosting for which they were charging so much money. Most of those features are available online for free you just need to integrate them with your site. All I want to say is don't get fooled by a company which uses fancy terms for its services and expect from you to buy that.

I have code to create a pdf like this.

The notes for 2018 update 2 state that this needs to be done manually if you have the auto-lock down applied:ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 2 I downloaded the update and followed suggestions from Charlie Arehart here:How to solve common problems with applying ColdFusion updates (in 10 and above) - Charlie Arehart's Server Troubleshooti… I stopped the main CF service and tried to run the update using the CF2018 JRE  (java version "10.0.1" 2018-04-17)from directory: [coldfustion root]\jre\bin:command: java - jar [coldfusion root]\cfusion\hf-updates\hotfix-002-313961.jarI got this:Error: To use 'StartFlightRecording', first unlock using -XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures.Error: The unlock option must precede 'StartFlightRecording'.Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.What the hell is that? Now what?

I have ColdFusion 2018 Enterprise (64bit) on Windows server 2016. I can no longer to connect my access databases (*.mdb) through ODBC. The CF 2018 does not support access database? Thanks.William

I have downloaded and trying to install the hotfix update 8 to my CF 2016 environment.  The update starts, shuts down CF application server, and then presents an error stating I don't have sufficient privileges to install.  I am running under my admin logon and running cmd as admin just like I have installed all hotfixes in the past.  I read an old post that related to this issue and they recommended using the non-GUI method by adding the -i console argument to my java command.  That got me farther but ended up only partially installing the update which required me to back it out.  In order to back out the partial update 8, I had to deinstall update 7 and then reinstall hotfix 7 which worked fine using the GUI method I always use.  Therefore, I think it is something to do with the actual jar file itself.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,After scanning our new development ColdFusion 2018, we found following vulnerabilities: How can we fix this issues? Did ColdFusion installed node.js?Thank you.Apache Tomcat Default FilesThe remote web server contains default files.The default error page, default index page, example JSPs, and/or example servlets are installed on the remote Apache Tomcat server.

I recently switched CF from using the system account to a restricted user account. I just noticed that my captcha images are not displaying (they are 404's), I thought I must have to give access to another folder (full access to web root and Coldfusion2016 folder given), however, I just switched it back to using a system account and for good measure rebooted the server, it's still not working.Here is an example of an image that is giving a 404https://www.kigso.com/CFFileServlet/_cf_captcha/_captcha_img5757781384502625729.png This has been working fine for years so I'm a little lost as to what might be causing itCan anybody help.ThanksMark

Hi,I am using CF11 with SQL server 2012 & IIS8.0 on windows server 2012.When I am using a CFGRID bind to a CFC and passing 2 or more than 2 parameters from a FORM, it fails for an incorrect JavaScript.Using the below code:<cfgrid attributeCollection="#args#"bind="cfc:MaintenanceMenuComponent.getLookUpData({cfgridpage},{cfgridpagesize},{cfgridsortcolumn},{cfgridsortdirection},{appl},{search})"       onchange="cfc:MaintenanceMenuComponent.editLookUpData({cfgridaction},{cfgridrow},{cfgridchanged})"       onerror="errorHandler" bindOnLoad="true"> Getting Result:JavaScript Error for:SyntaxError: missing ; before statement ...id'] = 'applid,appl,,value;'search,search,,value';var _cf_gridDataModel = Ext.cr...I have checked the Adobe blog and found that this type of bug (Bug ID# 3759630) is already reported and fixed in ColdFusion 11 Update 1 (Suggested by Anit Kumar Panda Ref: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&a

Hello community, in the company I work for we had a problem with the server and needed to be formatted and CF11 was reinstalled.One of the things that users were able to do was to have multiple tabs open running the application, same session.So let's say I had Tab 1 working on something and then opening a link from Tab 1 into a new tab.Now, after the reinstall, if I am working in Tab 1 for more than 20 minutes (session timeout settings) and don't do anything in Tab 2, the session will timeout and I will have to sign back in.Is there anything in the CF11 admin that I need to modify in order to keep the session alive when I am working with 1 tab for more than 20 minutes while other tabs from the same application are open?Thank you in advance!

I found a discussion thread here CF Builder 3 Trial Download Broken from about a year ago but I don't see the problem fixed.I have been charged with a CF site that I am supposed to get up and running. I have both a Linux (home development machine) and an Apple (work development machine) that I would like to get this running locally on my development machines to prove up that we can manage CF sites.How do I get a trial download link so I can do this?

I installed the cf2018 developer version, and the web server config tool is missing in the installation process (it was there in earlier CF versions.). After successful install, i went to C:\ColdFusion2018\cfusion\runtime\bin\ and run wsconfig.exe as admin, got 'another instance of wsconfig seems to be running'Now the wsconfig can't be launched after installation either, hence I got stuck. What does it mean "another instance of wsconfig seems to be running"?  what should i do next, how to get rid of that instance? thanks.

Hello,We are currently running a Coldfusion 9 Standard Edition on our Test server and Coldfusion 11 Standard Edition on our Production server, and so we want to upgrade the Test server from Coldfusion 9 to 11. Do we need a new Coldfusion 11 Standard Edition license to do this upgrade, or is there some upgrade license between version 9 Standard and 11 Standard?Also, what is the simplest way of upgrading from CF 9 to CF 11? Do we have to install a new version of CF 11 or is there an software upgrade that will take us from CF 9 to 11?Thank you in advance.

Is there any possibility that resetting the admin password in coldfusion 10 would affect the operation of the software? In other words, would there be any other programming with this password? We are taking over an installation of the product and do not have access to the admin interface due to unknown passwordThanksJCJ

Hello,We are currently running Coldfusion 10. Since CF10 will become unsupported from May 2019, we want to upgrade it to a higher version. What is the simplest way of upgrading from CF10 to CF 2016 or CF 11? Do I need to contact Adobe for this (Email / Phone...?) ?Thank you in advance.

We're building some new servers with CF 10 Enterprise and we cannot get the CFDocument tag to render fonts properly.  It seems to have picked a select few that it will use and refuses to use any others.  For example, it will use Arial and Times New Roman but it steadfastly refuses to use Helvetica and TradeGothic.  WTF?Yes, the server has those fonts installed and they show up in CFAdmin (see screenshot, below).Of all the TradeGothics listed above, the TrueTypes get completely ignored.  The OpenTypes cause CF to crash with this error:coldfusion.document.spi.DocumentExportException: java.lang.NullPointerExceptionFontembed is set to YES.  Looking at the PDF properties and TradeGothic are not embeded in it so CF would seem to be the culprit.We have changed nothing in our CF code as we've moved it from CF8 to CF9 and now to CF10.  CF8 and 9 used these fonts with no problem.  What's up with 10?Ideas?

I swear, I've disliked the Jive platform since day one, and now I'm even less happy with it.Ever since day one, if I do not close my browser I remain logged in.For the last couple of days, if I go to lunch or something else takes me away for an hour or more, when I return instead of seeing my profile icon, I see "Sign In".  If I click the Sign In link, the page basically refreshes and shows my profile icon, again.Is this life-shattering?  No.Is this going to ruin my day?  No.Is it really annoying?  Yes.V/r,^ _ ^
