ColdFusion

We have ColdFusion 8 installed and wonder if we should be concerned about the new March 2019 security vulnerability.  If yes, what steps do we need to take to secure our system?

I have ColdFusion 2018 Standard running on Windows Server 2016. 'Enable Performance Monitoring' is checked in the CF Admin, and the counters show up in Windows Performance Monitor.However, the only actual activity that shows up is when I hit the CF Admin interface web page (Page Hits/Sec, Running Requests, etc.) which is setup under the 'Default Web Site' site. No activity is shown in the Performance Monitor for any of the other sites on this server.Any ideas?

I decided to upgrade my local developer edition to CF2018 from CF2016. I uninstalled CF2016 and then installed CF2018. I went to move the files from the Coldfusion 2016/cfusion/wwwroot directory to the new installation as I did previously when upgrading from CF11 to CF2016, I found that only a log folder remained. Did CF delete my files on uninstall? Any way to get those back?

Is there a DW equivilent to the "standard toolbar" in CFB2, because I am looking for a way to put the most basic editing commands of Undo/Redo/Copy/Paste and do not see a way to add these to a visible toolbar.  All I see is I have to click the Edit menu, then select the command I want.  I will be really disappointed if I cannot include basic commands like this on a toolbar.  Please don't tell me about keyboard shortcuts, I know they are there but I like to have the visual buttons up on my toolbar, too.  Save All and Word Wrap would be another command I current have on a DW toolbar but can't see how to customize this in CFB2.  Am I missing something?

Hello,I have a coldfusion page which I am including a number of css and .js files (in the header). To increase the load spreed of a page, it is always recommendedto include script files after css files. This works fine for all other .js files, however not for any CFIDE srcipt files - I have tried including the <cfajaximport> tagbelow all the css files, however the CFIDE scripts always get loaded above all my css files. This has a causes render-blocking issues and I was wonderingif anyone knew a way around it ...ie, a way to arrange the load order of CFIDE scripts ?Thanks,Ryan,

A couple weeks ago we began noticing weird character suddenly appearing the From field of some emails, this after Update 8 for CF2016 had been applied. I rolled back to Update 7 and was able to see the accented character correctly again. I applied Update 9 this morning, thinking maybe it would address the issue but no luck. Hoping now someone on here may have the answer.Local CF 2016, Update 9 running on a Windows 10 using CF's built-in server (no IIS or Apache)Page encoding is set to utf-8 and I've tried it with and without the charset set in the cfmail tag as shown below.<cfset FromField = """#GetPoster.FirstName# #GetPoster.LastName#"" <support@*****.com>"><cfmail to="#ToField#"         from="#FromField#"         subject="HelpDesk - Request #SRNr#"        charset="utf-8">With update 9 installed (as well as 😎 the From field appears to mess up the characte

Hello,I have a strange problem with my includes, if i save my file with changes, CF can't find them anymore.Example:<cfinclude template="views/file.cfm">Is working fine, when i change something and save file.cfm, I receive the following error 'Could not find the included template views/file.cfm.' which is strange, because the filename and location did not change.Changing the the cfinclude and the filename into 'file1.cfm' does work. Which made me think it had something to do with caching, but clearing the cache and restarting CF did not work.Do anyone have an idea?Thanks,G.Running OSX 10.10CF 11 Upd 2. Dev

Hi,I query data from an Oracle database,  loop the result and add some data using querySetCell. Finally using cfquery dbtype="query" I select everything using an ORDER BY clause. Sadly my data is not sorted the way I expect. Special characters like German umlauts are sorted at the end of the result and not according to their position in the alphabet. When I dump the result of the query I see characters are "broken". Instead of Ö at the beginning of a word I see some placeholders. Looks like the data was encoded twice or misinterpreted according to the character set.Does ColdFusion have issues working with data from an Oracle query? Is there a way I can tell CF the data in the query is UTF8 encoded?Best,Bernhard

Recently switched to coldfusion 18, Was trying to capture signatures using signature pad and canvas but seems to me <cfimage> tags are not properly capturing the signatures. Writing an image to file using capturing the whole frame instead of that signature. Where all the tags and code is properly working on coldfusion 11. Can someone tell me what's going on here?

How do I change my name on my digital/electronic signature from typed to a hand-written signature?

Hello,I am administering a Cold Fusion MX7 database that I did not write. I have daily users that are able to access this database one day, but not the next. Their access is very sporadic. It appears that when they reconnect to a different access point that they have no issues, until they are re-connected with their starting access point and find themselves with the error message " File not found /notclear/Contact-IT-Dept.cfm " There are multiple access points and almost any user can be affected using any different access point. I ran the code analyzer through my admin control and have discovered these 9 issues. How can I discover what these issues mean and how can I discover if these issues may be the problem to my users access? Thank you.  Parse Error (1) Error C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\analyzer\index.cfm   Parse Error (2) Error C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\analyzer\report.cfm   Parse Error (3) Error C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\analyze

Migrating to CF2018, we have noticed that our webservice calls are quickly pegging system resources and resulting in java heap space out of memory errors after a few minutes.  Increasing memory allocation results in longer periods of time before erroring out, but similar results.Pointing at java 8 and moving tools.jar into the WEB-INF/lib directory shows successful results with near instantaneous response.Has anyone else seen this or have any idea why java 10 would be showing this issue?

Hi,I'm trying to create a dynamic variable and then call it dynamically and I don't know if this is possible.  The easiest way to explain what I'm trying to do is to show what I want to do but obviously doesn't work.<cfcookie name = "variable#rsSet.variable_id#" value="cookievalue">and then later I want to call it by doing something like<cfoutput>#cookie.#rsSet.variable_id##</cfoutput>but obviously that doesn't work.  Is there a way to call the cookie without typing the exact name of the cookie?Thanks,Mike

Hi,I have a recordset with some values in it that I want to add together but I don't know how to do it.  The recordset looks like:<cfquery name="rsResults" datasource="username" username="value" password="F00tBall">SELECT *FROM optionsWHERE value_id = '#FORM.value_id#'</cfquery>I list the values in a table<cfoutput query="rsResults">#rsResults.value#,</cfoutput>and I want to add together all the values and display the result but I don't know how to do that.  Can anyone help with this?Thanks,Mike

Can someone help me resolve why when I generate a 2 tab spreadsheet, the contents for the second sheet show but the first tab is the one highlighted at the bottom of the page? I have tried trying to make the first sheet active again before making the file but it gives me a write error. See attached image.Second question how do I use cfspreadsheet update functionality to add a sheet to the front of an existing spreadsheet, I cant seem to find any good documentation on it.

I am using Coldfusion 2016 on rhl7 and cant write a spreadsheet file.<cfscript> ///We need an absolute path, so get the current directory path. theFile=GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath()) & "newSpreadsheet.xls"; //Create a new Excel spreadsheet object. theSheet = SpreadsheetNew("Expenses"); SpreadSheetAddRow(theSheet,"Order,First Name,Last Name,Address,Amount,City");SpreadSheetAddRow(theSheet,"Order,First Name,Last Name,Address,Amount,City");SpreadSheetAddRow(theSheet,"Order,First Name,Last Name,Address,Amount,City");</cfscript> <!--- Write the spreadsheet to a file, replacing any existing file. ---> <cfspreadsheet action="write" filename="#theFile#" name="theSheet" overwrite=true sheetname = "Expenses">Returns the following error:An exception occurred while using action=write.java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0Can anyone help?

Hi. I've been looking at the ColdFusion feature list and under Email Management, I read "Attach a callback handler to the CFMAIL tag to get delivery notifications." Can anyone provide a link to an example of what this looks like? Thanks in advance.

I am in the process of developing a contact management system for my company and have built coldfusion pages that allow the user to import their personal contacts from outlook, as well as export contacts from the system into their MS Outlook contacts. The process is fairly simple on the users (in my mind) but it requires using Outlook's import/export function, which is about 6 or 7 steps. My users would of course like to have this process simplified. Is it possible to have a button on one of my pages that automates the entire process? i.e. creates the csv file (or whatever other format is needed) and then automatically pushes that data into outlook (and vice versa) ? Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Update 16 has deleted all Scheduled Tasks all servers updated. Just gone??

Recently Adobe released HF16 for CF11 but I am having issues installing it.   the details log file states that all prerequisites are successful but it errors out with "No Administration Privileges" even though I am running it from an administration command line.I didnt have this problem when I implemented HF15.  Matter of fact, as a test, I uninstalled and reinstalled hotfix_15.jar without any issues in the same command line. Is there a place I can look to see what HF16 is attempting to access or do where HF15 didnt?  This is all on a Windows 2008R2 server.Here is the log output (minus some details on the admin line)...Install Log Detail:Check Disk Space:                                   Status: SUCCESSFUL                &nb

I've been working on this for a month and I'm stumped.  This is the code to logout...<cfscript>   StructClear(session);   StructClear(application);</cfscript>...that's it (besides some HTML "You've logged out").This works fine on our DEV & TEST environments, but gets a 500 Error on our PROD environment.  Nothing in the error log.  I've searched exhaustively and cannot find anything.  And we have a System Admin who is difficult..."it's the code."Any idea?Thanks in advance.ColdFusion v11.

Hi There,As soon as ColdFusion 2018 update 2 was installed and the Apache connector was rebuilt, we are seeing this following error in mod_jk.log, repeatedly.[Thu Feb 14 12:42:06 2019] [16186:139977799252096] [error] uri_worker_map_update::jk_uri_worker_map.c (1299): Unable to stat the /opt/coldfusion2018/config/wsconfig/1/uriworkermap.properties (errno=13)The server is running RHEL 7, with SELinux and locked down. However the apache is running without any issues and the web application doesn't experience any issues. But the mod_jk.log is flooded with this entry.It would be great, if someone could assist on this please. We didn't face this issue before.

Hi, here's my problem. My web server uses CF MX 7. I want to get form output, create a .pdf from it, and send the .pdf as an email attachment. This seems to be easy using CF MX 8 and beyond: use cfdocument to create a .pdf and attach the .pdf to an email usig cfmailparam, without writing to disk first. This cannot be done in CF MX 7.So, to accomplish what I want in CF MX 7, I need a way of doing the following:1) Output form data to the browser. (Done)2) Save the format to disk *in the format in which it is outputted to the browser*. (CFFILE does not help in this regard)3) Convert the file on disk to .pdf format. (I assume CFdocument will do this.)4) Send the .pdf file as an attachment to an email.Is this possible? If so, how can it be achieved? Thanks very much.Best wishesChris

I installed ColdFusion 2016 Update 8 and my Scheduled Tasks disappeared!!!How do I get my Scheduled Tasks back?
