ColdFusion

Hi All,We're CF9 Enterprise Running on Unix - inside tomcat containers.I'm trying to see how the jvm.config file is set - but can only find outdated or not relevant articles on the subject.* while the CF Administrator settings page doesn't say so ... I'm assuming I'm working with a multiserver instance, as the option to edit the JVM is not in the administrator. so can't find the location of the jvm config from there* searching the VM that holds the tomcat containers for 'jvm.config' results in nothing.  No file on the system with that name.reading many other posts on this, it seems that "it depends" is the consistent answer in forums as to where the jvm.config file is.As I didn't set this environment up, and its not the standard install of CF with the installer ... I'm not sure where to look.1. Can CF9 operate without a jvm.config file?2. where is the file? how can I find the file?3. Ihere is no C:/coldfusion9/cfusion/ directory - > how can I determine the "runtime" directory w

Hello,Another issue has popped up on our migration to 2016 -  when viewing the application.cfm log in CF administrator, any entries from the log with an application name do not show up.  They are in the log file itself, but don't show up.  I've tested this by setting application name="" and creating an error.The other thing worth mentioning is this may very well have been the case for CF10 as well - however in CF 10 the log never wrote the application name in the log file.  Looking at old files it is always "" even though the application.cfm file has been that way for years.Thanks,ChrisChris Cosart | Senior Developer/AnalystCenter for Community College Student EngagementProgram in Higher Education LeadershipDepartment of Educational Leadership and PolicyCollege of EducationThe University of Texas at Austin

We are upgrading a server from CF11 to CF2016.  The server runs fine all day up until we do some night database processing.  When this occurs we start getting errors like this:Table foreign_address_formats defined for cfc hrPortal.foreign_address_formats does not existI have confirmed these tables do not get dropped.  Once the DB nightly processing is completed the cf server recovers and the errors go away.In our old CF11 instance we never encountered any issue like this at all.  This is an orm enabled datasource.  And the configuration between cf11 and cf2016 is exactly the same.Any ideas on this would be appreciated. - Alex

Hello, all,Quick question:  I have noticed that CreateUUID() creates a UUID that is ALL-CAPS.  Wouldn't there be more UUIDs if they were in miXeD-cAse?V/r,^ _ ^

Good Day,Currently we are using Cold Fusion 11 in our environment. What is the End-Of-Life date for this version?Thanks,

Some readers may know that CFDOCUMENT has long had a default behavior that if you had an img src (or similar html tag) that pointed to a local file, CF would under the covers turn that into an HTTP call to get the image, which could cause performance or even functionality problems. And CF8 added a new optional attribute to change that behavior: LocalURL.  (See my blog post from 2011 for more on that: http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2011/11/19/perf_fix_via_cfdocument_localurl_attribute.)Sadly, it seems that the new CFHTMLtoPDF (added in CF11) works the same way (I've confirmed by viewing web server logs showing it creating URLs to get images via the web server), and yet it does NOT offer that LocalURL attribute to change that behavior.Has anyone else encountered or solved this?  I have done a lot of searching about it, to no avail.I did find that the underlying WKHTML kit does itself offer a --enable-local-file-access option, but it's only for use with

Hello everyone,    I'm a first semester CF guy and this is new to me so please bear with me.  I need to build a mini app that will perform simple to moderate calculations for a larger app I am building. I want my user to be able to go to a form and pick a conversion type, enter a number and and get a result based on what he/she enters.  For example, say it's 72 degrees Fahrenheit.  User pops in 72 and gets a result in Celsius.  I know how to create a form and the variable for it.  I even have the conversion formulas.  I can get the result to the action page, but that's where I get stuck.  How do I take the data that my user has inputted and multiply it by my formula and spit out the result at the same time?  I want to try to make it as lean as possible and I know it can be done a lot easier than some of the full-blow apps that I have seen out there that do the same type thing on a much grander scale.  Just need something quick

I'm using CF11 Standard and need to use websockets. Do i need to upgrade to the Enterprise version to do this?

Hello, all,I am using Oracle 11g, do not have admin access or authority to make any changes to configuration, and would like to have case-insensitive searches of varchar2 and CLOB columns.I have tried putting the following before my SELECT query:ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT = BINARY_CI;ALTER SESSION SET NLS_COMP = LINGUISTIC;This results in an error message: ORA-00922; missing or invalid option.Also, the method I'm using for searching the CLOB is case-sensitive:SELECT * /* I don't use * in production, I'm using it here for brevity */FROM table1WHERE dbms_lob.instr(columnA,'searchWord') >= 1Any advice appreciated.V/r,^ _ ^

Recently I got a VPS server and I'm running Coldfusion, the website was running fine until it got more and more traffic and I started to encounter 'OutOfMemory' exceptions.I thought simply to rise the memory of the VPS server, but this didn't help.After doing some Google searches I found a setting in de CF Admin settings to set the JVM Heap memory. It was on the standard: Max Heap size 512MB and Min Heap size was empty. After playing around a bit I have now set it to Min 50MB and Max 200MB, good things is that I'm not getting the 'OutOfMemory' exceptions anymore. So far so good!But with about 50 active visitors on the website, the website starts to get slow. The CPU usage is only about 8% (Windows Taskmanager), also the taskmanager show only about 30% of the 3GB RAM in use.So I'm thinking that my values could be tweaked to use more of the RAM. Honestly I don't understand these JVM Memory heap settings, so I have no clue what is a good setting for me.I found a CF script that displays th

Installed the beta, and had it set up to use the Apache server that is included in OS X on my laptop.  And, I'm using the 8500 port.  I have all the files in /Library/WebServer/Documents folder. In Httpd.conf I have "DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"".  When I try to run 127.0.0.1/twitterstuff/testing.cfm I get:Error Occurred While Processing RequestFile not found: /twitterstuff/testing.cfmHowever, when I move this directory into /Applications/ColdFusion2018/cfusion/wwwroot/CFIDE, this file runs.  This isn't an ideal answer to the problem, though.  Is this a bug, or some configuration I need to make somewhere else?

One of the features promised for this release was a container version, but no sign of it yet.Is this still coming?

I am in the process of purchasing Cf2016 standard edition and I wanted to know whether my purchase of CF2016 would make me eligible for upgrade to 2018 when its released to market?

HelloI've been installing ColdFusion 2016 on a Windows 2012 R2 server with IIS 8.5 and as part of the installation i selected for CF to configure all IIS websites. I probably shouldn't of done this as i had no sites added in IIS apart from the normal 'default website'I setup my website and then launch wsconfig.exe to configure IIS for my new website but according to wsconfig, IIS isn't configured as it is blank in the list of configured sites but then if you hit 'Add', am i presented with the error 'All the IIS sites are already configured by some other version of ColdFusion'I've been googling for some time and I've tried cf11 guides to manually remove the connector as it's not displaying one for me but the items to be manually removed don't exist. For instance there is no numbered folder in C:\ColdFusion2016\config\wsconfig. There is only a dll and log file. I've been through all of the sites within IIS to manually remove the various CF isapi filters, isapi and cgi restrictions, mime

Hello, all,What is the best way to preserve line breaks from a <textarea> when inserting into an Oracle varchar2(4000) column?I'm creating a comments section for a blog, and want to keep the input as the user entered it.This is being processed in ColdFusion 10/11.V/r,^ _ ^CORRECTION:  Apparently, the line breaks are being kept, just fine, when I "view source" the page.  So, this is a formatting-after-get issue, not an Oracle issue.  Nevermind. 

Hello Community.Recently my team tackled a POC using CF2016 on RHEL 7 connecting to SQL Server 2016 running on Server 2016 and ran into a curious problem.The problem was this nasty error when setting up the Macromedia JDBC DSNs pointed at SQL Server 2016 with EncryptionMethod=SSL in the connection string :Connection verification failed for data source: MyTestDatabaseDSNjava.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]SSL handshake failed: Unsupported curveId: 29The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver]SSL handshake failed: Unsupported curveId: 29Our server Specs:RHEL 7CF2016 2016.0.05.303689Java 1.8.0_144Tomcat 8.5.11.0Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy 8 filesThe DSNs worked fine without SSL enabled.Has anyone else experienced this?  It sure seems like a bug in the shipped JDBC driver.Our work around currently is to use the Microsoft JDBC 6.2 driver

Hello, all,I'm trying to migrate data from an old schema to a new schema via ColdFusion, and I'm getting an error message.<cfquery name="old_data" datasource="#application.dsn_old#">SELECT colA, colB, colCFROM old_table</cfquery><cfquery name="new_data" datasource="#application.dsn_new#">INSERT ALL     <cfoutput query="old_data">          into new_table(aCol, bCol, cCol)               values(colA, colB, colC)     </cfoutput>SELECT * from dual;</cfquery>904: ORA-00904: "colC": Invalid identifierIf I CFDUMP the first query, all the data is there.  Why does Oracle think that colC is invalid?V/r,^ _ ^

Today I have installed the ColdFusion 2018 public beta and replaced the previous beta release with it. After installation the ColdBox 5 framework was broken, CF threw an error when trying to set a variable:var appSettings = getApplicationMetadata();For whatever reason dumping getApplicationMetadata() worked fine. However it only worked once - trying to dump it twice on the same page or assigning it to a variable resulted in an error.Similar errors have been reported on the bug base (Tracker , Tracker)​ but are marked as fixed​ .After verifying the bug I uninstalled the current public beta and replaced the installation with the previous version (from the closed beta) and it worked fine again. The current and previous beta release was reinstalled twice to verify that this bug only occurs with the latest beta (same code/same server configuration).How to reproduce: Install a ColdBox 5 application on the current beta release server and it should break right away.Regards,Philipp

We have Coldfusion 10 configured on an IIS web site using a GoDaddy provided SSL certificate.  When we try to access a web service we receive a 500 error from the server.  When we look at the application log we see the following record:"Error","ajp-bio-8012-exec-2","06/17/13","14:20:19","SmartPriceAdmin","The web service operation caused an invocation exception.The root cause was that: javax.servlet.ServletException: https is forbidden The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\WebSites\Something\SMARTPriceServices.cfc'' "C:\WebSites\Something\SMARTPriceServices.cfc is the location on the server where the actual web service file resides.I'm not the sites developer but I'm trying to aid him in finding the issue.  We've added the sites SSL certificate through the SSL Certificate Management feature of the Administrator and restarted the Coldfusion 10 Appllication Service but it had no effect.  Any help would be very appreciated.

(Copied from the Prerelease forum as Adobe did not answer it there)Hi Adobe folks,I am in the process of working on a guide to CF containerization deployment from the perspective of somebody who has never worked with containers before. It is intended for an audience that is stuck in Ye Olde Days of running an installer on a Windows machine and not thinking too hard about what is happening (this is easy, because it described us pretty well until not that long ago).I am making a concerted effort to be agnostic and provide examples and support for as many CF engines as I can. This is made difficult on the Adobe side by some licensing and standard v. enterprise considerations , some of which I know have come up and been addressed to some extent but others I'm not sure about.At the moment, the draft version of our guide covers ACF11, 2016, and the forthcoming 2018 (standard and enterprise), along with Lucee 5+. I think it'd be best for all concerned if it stays that way -- the more versions

When we initiate a Nessus scan on our server, the ColdFusion Application Server consumes 80-90% of the CPU and continues to do so even after the scan is terminated.  Only restarting the service brings the usage back to normal, but starting the scan repeats the high CPU usage.  No errors are thrown, just high CPU.IIS 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, ColdFusion 2016.0.04.302561Any ideas where to start troubleshooting?

Are there any recommendations on hardware vs. software clustering for high availability and performance?  I.e., running 2+ servers in an Enterprise cluster vs putting those servers behind an F5 appliance for load balancing and failover.

hello coldfusion community,I refer to a previous post from 2016 and would like to continue on this example. It's about a product list with up to 10 items and to add, delete and edit a shopping cart. In my version everything works very well except if I want to change the field in the shopping cart with the amount (Quantity).  I want the user to be able to change the value of quantity in the shopping cart. Somehow I do not get to the point. Does anyone have a suggestion or an idea for me? Thank you.

Hello,I've tried many options and searched for many solutions but I just can't seem to get this to work. It's probably something minor that I'm missing.I have a menu that is in a cfinclude file, the menu has the following code to trigger an active state dynamically:<a href="../index.cfm" class="#iIF( thispage IS "index.cfm", DE( "nav-item nav-link px-3 active" ), DE( "nav-item nav-link px-3" ))#">Home</a>When I call this menu from another page with <cfinclude> it works fine using the following code at the top of the page:<cfset variables.thispage = GetFileFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())/>The template path would be 'index.cfm' and the active state would be triggered if I am on that page.However, I have a template page that contains the header and footer of my site named front.cfmWithin the header portion of front.cfm, I call the menu with <cfinclude>. It works fine here.In my index page, the template is called and here is where it breaks, I keep getting
