ColdFusion

Hi,I installed CF2021 and updated until 16 and any module have not installed. So I go the cfpm and when I try to install administrator module or whatever, it displays unexpected error D:\ColdFusion2021\cfusion\bin>cfpmcfpm>listUnexpected char -1 at (line no=669, column no=2406, offset=53831)cfpm>install administratorUnexpected char -1 at (line no=669, column no=2406, offset=53831)cfpm>install allUnexpected char -1 at (line no=669, column no=2406, offset=53831)cfpm>install mailUnexpected char -1 at (line no=669, column no=2406, offset=53831)cfpm> Any hint to fix this?

ColdFusion 2023 HF12 Finding - writeLog() function.  Following CF2023 server update to HF12, If a JSON string is passed as part of the text input to the writeLog() function, it double quotes {""key"":""value""} all JSON key/value pairs in the log.  Prior to HF12, JSON was logged normally {"key":"value"}.  Anyone able to confirm/verify this finding and whether there is a way to resolve?  thx! 

I noticed some errors ( for example, undefine varibles) are not logged on one of our coldfusion server. I have checked the settings, and I did not find any difference on the logging settings when i went to admin page. Because of the lack of logging, I have a hard time to debug our application. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

I’m relatively new to ColdFusion 2023 as we are in the process of migrating from ColdFusion 2018. Before I continue, I understand that we should have already completed the migration and the reasons why it is necessary. Unfortunately, I didn't have any control over the timeline, but I’m doing the best I can, and we are making progress. That said, I’m a bit confused about how updates are supposed to be applied to the server. From what I’ve gathered, the ColdFusion (2023 release) Update XX file updates the core application server, applying immediate fixes, adding new features, and so on. This update is cumulative. However, it appears that this update does not include any updates for ColdFusion packages. On the other hand, the Hotfix and Packages repository seems to contain fixes for specific issues and updates for packages. My question is: Which is the preferred approach? Should I apply the Update File, the Hotfix/Packages repository, or both? From what I understa

Last year the Log4J vulnerability called for the addition of the JVM argument -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true in CF2018 and CF2021. Does anyone know if this JVM argument is still needed/recommended/valid in ColdFusion 2023?

Our CIS has flagged Tomcat version < 9.0.98 as being vulnerable with critical severity.   Incorrect object re-cycling and re-use vulnerability in Apache Tomcat. Incorrect recycling of the request and response used by HTTP/2 requests could lead to request and/or response mix-up between users. This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M23 through 11.0.0-M26, from 10.1.27 through 10.1.30, from 9.0.92 through 9.0.95. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0, 10.1.31 or 9.0.96, which fixes the issue. A hotfix to patch Tomcat to latest stable version for ColdFusion 2021 would be appreciated.

I have ColdFusion 2023 with update 11 installed on windows server 2022 Apache and for some reason it stopped working, no critical error reports

I am developing SAML SSO with Azure AD and our Coldfusion application at the moment and in Coldfusion 2021 everything seems to work. The configuration is there and the authentication works as well. When I try to configure SAML in Coldfusion 2023, errors are thrown in spconfig.cfm When I generate a new service provider, the configuration is created but this error is thrown:Variable GENERATESUCCESSMSG is undefined.The error occurred in spconfig.cfm: line 122Called from spconfig.cfm: line 100Called from spconfig.cfm: line 40Called from spconfig.cfm: line 1 Identical errors (only with other variables) come when deleting / updating a configuration.Also identity provider creation throws errors. Did anybody experience this? We use Coldfusion 2023.0.06.330617and SAML package 2023.0.05.330608 If I ignore the errors thrown and try to init SAML authentication also an error is thrown (that may be because the configuration is not correct): java.lang.NullPointerExc

Hi,I failed the Adobe ColdFusion 9 Certification attempt.  How many days should I wait reappearing for the test?  I could not find any information for this in any FAQ or page on Adobe.comMay be I am missing some portion of site, can anyone help me here

This is my code:<cfhtmltopdf orientation="landscape"> <h3>Test Landscape Output</h3> </cfhtmltopdf>This is my output:

While reviewing the technotes for Update 16, I noticed a mention about keeping the JDK updated. I understand that ColdFusion supports Java 11, and according to the ColdFusion documentation, it supports versions up to 11.0.25. Currently, I am running Java 11.0.11. My questions are: Is there a need to upgrade to a newer version of the JDK?Has anyone encountered any significant issues or challenges during the upgrade process? Additionally, if I install the new JDK using the .exe file, can I simply update the path to the /jre folder in the ColdFusion Administrator, restart the server, and test the changes? If there are any issues, would it be possible to revert to the previous version without complications?

We have started getting this error message in our application.log file in the last 24 hours when performing a cfsearch.   org/apache/zookeeper/KeeperException$NoNodeException  Restarting coldfusion add-on services or restarting the server itself has not helped. I also get an exception if I try to access collections in the coldfusion admin site.

Well, this is an extremely frustrating function.

I'm working in a location where they provision a development server for us to setup a new virtual Windows Server instance for ColdFusion 2023 Enterprise. When configured/secured, this will be cloned into a production instance. My question is, should I choose Development for the deployment type and then switch it to Production after the cloning?  Or set it to Production and then change my development instance from Production to Development after the cloning? Since I'm not sure what it's actually doing "behind the scenes" I want to be sure I choose the best option. Thanks!

Hi there, We have Coldfusion 2021 and are on update 18.  However we have some security software reporting a vulnerability and it turns out the file bundlesdependency.json under the folder C:\ColdFusion2021\bundles has references to version 2021.0.0.323925.  I can see jar files in that folder for each of the bundles it is referencing.  Do I simply update the version in the bundlesdependency.json file to be the latest version number for that file?  For for example awslambda has these files in that folder: awslambda-2021.0.0.323925.jarawslambda-2021.0.02.328618.jarawslambda-2021.0.05.330109.jarawslambda-2021.0.11.330247.jarawslambda-2021.0.17.330334.jar    Do I simply update the value from 2021.0.0.323925 to 2021.0.17.330334 as below?  "bundle" : "awslambda","version" : "2021.0.17.330334", -- HERE"description" : "The awslambda package helps you invoke AWS lambda functions" I would take a copy of the bundlesdependen

I am running ACF 2021 (2021.0.18.330341) standard edition, and attempting to configure mail settings. I noticed something strange where, when I check the box "Maintain Connection to Mail Server" and then "Submit Changes", the box shows as unchecked, despite seeing the green "Server has been updated successfully" message: This feels like a bug to me. Can anyone else confirm if they have the same issue.I tried enabling TLS connections on and off to see if it made a difference. It does not.  Note: I have a successful connecction to the SMTP server and can send mail fine.  The reason why I want to enable this setting is because we frequently send out a "burst" of emails at once and read that enabling this feature is recommended.

I successfully upgraded Adobe ColdFusion 2016 to 2018.  Once complete, I attempted to uninstall ACF 2016 using the windows uninstaller as well as via the command line.  I've tried rebooting the system, making sure services are turned off and/or disabled, but it always hangs on the screen that says: "Please wait, Adobe ColdFusion 2016 is being configured for your system. This may take a moment...".  When I fire up the Task Manager I see the ColdFusion Launcher Application isn't using any CPU so it's just sitting there. I am running Windows Server 2012 R2. If anyone has any tips for removing the old version, please let me know.    

Hi,We upgraded to CF23 Ent (from CF18 Ent) and after the upgrade, our CFFTP fingerprint attribute stopped working. Upon connecting to the remote sFTP server, CFFTP now gives error "Fingerprint is either invalid or missing". However, the fingerprint is valid. The code has been working for years before the CF upgrade. The remote FTP server has not been changed and I can use FileZilla to see the fingerprint, and as expected, it matches the fingerprint attribute in our CFFTP. If I remove the CFFTP's fingerprint attribute, we connect just fine. Any ideas what is going on here, or ideas on how to troubleshoot this further?Thanks!Byron

Hi all, I am trying to create a lottery application using coldfusion and oracle but so far have had no luck. Has anyone developed such an application and if so could you please direct me in the right direction. The primary purpose of the Lottery is to select all applicants from a table then randomly select a few winners from all applicants based on the number of prizes available. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I inherited a few ColdFusion applications when I assumed the role of a company's CF guy.Problem is, I did not receive the password for CFAdmin.  There was no turnover so no way to reach out to someone who was already long gone.I used the passwordreset.bat to change the admin password, restarted the CF 2021 service and tried again to get into the administrator.  Got past the login screen but with a problem message instead of the administrator.The full error from the application log says "Error","http-nio-8500-exec-9","08/24/23","21:20:15",cfadmin,"Could not initialize class net.sf.ehcache.config.ConfigurationFactory The specific sequence of files included or processed is: F:\ColdFusion2021\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\enter.cfm, line: 684 "Any direction to get this resolved would be really appreciated.

I am running into an issue with the CF Mail package saying it didn't load after we did a patch update from 10 to 13 for CF2021.  Below is the error we are seeing and then after that it says that the mail package is not installed and to install it, even though it shows in package manager that it's installed. ...Cannot find implementation class coldfusion.tagext.mail.MailTag for the mail tag... I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mail package, restarting Coldfusion, and even restarting the server.  None of which resolved the issue.  I will say that in Patch 10, all the packages were loaded by default.  When we went to Update 13, I did not install all them.  Do I need to go back and install everything?   

Hi allI have issues setting up the apache connector in CF2023 with Mac Sonoma (14.6). After executing wsconfig and setting up the sites, I get a config error. [Thu Jan 09 10:54:05.757783 2025] [so:error] [pid 4178] AH06665: No code signing authority for module at /private/etc/apache2/mod_jk.so specified in LoadModule directive. httpd: Syntax error on line 560 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 4 of /private/etc/apache2/mod_jk.conf: Code signing absent - not loading module at: /private/etc/apache2/mod_jk.so Has anyone experienced the same? I tried it with the embedded CF Update 5 and the newest Update 12 which neither of them worked. Thanks
