ColdFusion

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. These files should be removed as they may help an attacker uncover information about the remote Tomcat install or host itself.Node.js - JavaScript run-time environment is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.The version of Node.js installed on the remote host is 6.x prior to 6.15.0, 8.x prior to 8.14.0 or 10.x prior to 10.14.0 or 11.x prior to 11.3.0. Therefore, it is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.    - OpenSSL Timing vulnerability in DSA signature generation     (CVE-2018-0734).    - OpenSSL Timing vulnerability in ECDSA signature generation     (CVE-2018-0735

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

I have a scanned in doc that has different size pages.When I pick "Choose paper source by PDF page size"  all the pages print on 8x14".This option used to work in the past.

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,^ _ ^

Howdy!Just wanted to share in case this could be of use to anyone else.After installing Update 18 onto a ColdFusion 11 server, calling cffeed causes an error. This did not happen before update 18. Sandbox Security is enabled. No errors during install of update 18, at least according to the install log.I use the tag in this manner<cffeed action="create" name="theFeedName" overwrite="yes" escapeChars="true" outputFile="theRssFile.xml">The error message contains "Access is denied" and "Unable to create"We do not use cffeed that often, so it took me a while to realize it was not working. The only workaround I have found so far is to not use cffeed.

Howdy!Just wanted to share in case this could be of use to anyone else.After installing Update 18 onto a ColdFusion 11 server, any page that called cfhtmltopdf would error. This did not happen before update 18. Sandbox Security is enabled. No errors during install of update 18, at least according to the install log.In order to get cfhtmltopdf working again I had to add the following two items to the ColdFusion sandbox (to the Files/Dirs area for the website's sandbox).     {cf.root}/cfusion/lib/jetty.xml => read     {cf.root}/cfusion/lib/configure_9_0.dtd => readBefore I did this the first calling of cfhtmltopdf would give the following error message:access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "{cf.root}\cfusion\lib\jetty.xml" "read")Any subsequent callings of cfhtmltopdf would give the following error message: Could not initialize class coldfusion.document.webkit.PDFgRequestUtilAfter adding {cf.root}/cfusion/lib/jetty.xml to the sandbox (and r

HiI'm trying to find out what versions of Oracle will work with ColdFusion 11.  We're looking to upgrade Oracle 10g to Oracle 12.1, 12.2 or 18c.I couldn't find anything in the specifications about whether later versions of Oracle will work.  Upgrading CF is not an option at the moment.ThanksKarl

I've been told that under Standard and Enterprise ColdFusion  is it prohibited to deploy a SaaS application:license point:2.6.4 Prohibited Use ...c) providing use of the software in a computer service business, third party outsourcing facility or service, service bureau agreement, time sharing basis, or as a part of a hosted serviceThe only way to use ColdFusion for a SaaS application (meaning charging a license fee for each customer using the same application), the only way is to negotiate a Coldfusion Hosting Agreement based likely on a percentage of your business profit.Is this true? does anyone have experience with this?This is a serious issue that could change a lot a startup financial situation and forecast.Thank you for your input on this

I get a Connection Failure when executing scheduled task on coldfusion localhost. Earlier I used to get the error on the Linux servers and resolved it by importing the app certificates into the java keystore. But this is something new and baffling. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I have a datagrid which shows data for the columns named username, role, gender, emailid, password. I want to add a delete button to every row in datagrid so that when it is clicked only that entry gets deleted from database.[Using COLD FUSION]

I use cache throughout my site. I am using CachePut, CacheGet,... Since I updated to update 17 I can see that cache gets flushed every couple of minutes even I have set it up for day or longer. Cache is getting created on first call and after refreshing the page content is written from cache. But after couple of minutes cache is flushed and everything starts from beginning. Not sure if there ia any settings that I missed. The code didn't change and it was working for years. I updated to update 18 restarted the server but the issue is still there. What can caused the cache to be flushed? Thanks. Slaven

After installing the latest update hotfix 15 (see ColdFusion 11 Update 15 ) on our coldfusion 11 server (Win 2008 R2 with latest patches and latest java jdk) the CF server restarts (access to CF admin is working) but the CF ODBC service does no more start. After un-installing the update it works again. Any idea how to fix this? Is this a known issue?
