ColdFusion

Hello all,I am running into a problem where I am parsing XML and running into an error: An error occured while Parsing an XML document.An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x17) was found in the element content of the document.Therefore my approach is that I obviously have to remove some kind of odd character but I have no idea what it is. I would like to take the XML and perform something like the following:<cfset XML = Replace(XML, "&","","All")>Where "&" is the special character (0x17). Can anyone assist with what this character is or has had this problem? I wish I could post the XML but I cannot get at it because the page is breaking. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!Thanks

I tried to download the free trial for Coldfusion, but was unable to complete the form. The required State/Province field has no options and, when submitted, the form indicates that this field is missing a value and validation fails.I'm a developer getting back to Coldfusion and it sure would be nice to have a developer edition to work with!Thanks,Noah

Cannot get Coldfusion 11 Application server service to start. Running Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Coldfusion 11 update 12.Error: Windows could not start the Coldfusion 11 Application Server service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in timely fashion.Searched for other remedies to no avail. As a "band-aid" I was able to run the cfstart.bat file in a CMD window to have the service start and run. (if the CMD window ever closes, this will stop the service - hence the band-aid)Here are some of the things we tried - they DO NOT Work:Increased the Windows service time-out - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/922918/a-service-does-not-start-and-events-7000-and-7011-are-logged-in-windowRan the service as an Administrator - both local and network (under Properties and select Log On)Tried blocking coldfusion from accessing the IP 192.150.19.110 (coldfusion.adobe.com)We are not running a proxy

Hi Folks,Our Cf servers live behind a load balancer.  We have an app that makes a cfhttp call to an outside web server.  The problem occurs when the data returned comes back through the load balancer and doesn't always return back to the originating server.  Is there a way to ensure that the returned data returns to the correct server?

We have the option of adding java and jvm arguments from the ColdFusion admin page , by mistake I have added an extra line  while adding a proxy and I lost access to the admin page now, where can I edit those java jvm arguments in the server (In which folder can I find them in the server)

Hello,I'm currently running ColdFusion 2016 and ColdFusion Builder on OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), which Apple no longer supports. I'd like to upgrade to the latest OS version, 10.13. It's always a nightmare update the OS. Has anyone been successful? Will CF work on 10.13?Thanks

Where can I find the ColdFusion administrator page password in the server (in which folder I can find it) and how to view it (if it is cryptic).

How do I send a PDF form I filled out back to the person that sent it to me?  I've never used Adobe before.  My computer wasn't letting me type on the form until I switched to Adobe.

I have recently installed ColdFusion 2016 on Windows Server 2016. During the first install, I set a custom admin name (cf_admin) during the install process. I was not able to log into the Admin Portal once the installation finished (invalid username or password). I tried using the password reset batch file as well as uninstalling and re-installing. Every time has been the same result. On subsequent installs, I left the default "admin" name in.I installed on another server and left the "admin" name in on the first go and it seems to be working fine. Is there some file or setting that is left behind after uninstallation?

I'm having an issue delivering an image using content. I'm getting the following error when using cfcontent:  "... cannot be displayed because it contains errors".Here is a sample of the code: <cfcontent reset="true" file="C:\Storage\Sites\localhost\stars.jpg" deleteFile="false" type="image/jpeg" /><cfabort>Here's the odd thing ... If I access the coldfusion script directly; ie, http://localhost/test.cfm  it works just fine.But if i'm doing any type of url rewriting through IIIS web.config it doesn't work; ie, http://localhost/test   (which through url rewrite would map to test.cfm).  Any ideas anybody?

Hi,I understand that Visual FoxPro is deprecated. But is there a way to add VFP databasource as ODBC socket in CF9? We are moving from CF7 to CF9 and in CF7 we are able to create  ODBC socket for VFP data source without any issues. But in CF9 the VFP DNS is not listed under ODBC DSN list of ODBC socket.Server: Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bitColdfusion 9I have installed Visual FoxPro ODBC driver version 6 on  the server and have added the data source in system DSN. Please let me know if more info is needed.

How to unlock the locked admin page after 3 wrong password attempts?

I've just moved from CF8 up to ColdFusion 2016, which has the rather handy UPDATE button.I noticed that it does not appear to update the Java JDK, the install I used placed version 1.8.0_112  however if I look on Oracle I see there is an 8u_152 ( Java SE Development Kit 8 - Downloads  )The question I have (which it looks like the answer is obvious) is do I have to manually update the JDK still? If so I guess I'll install in the program files then change the host file in CF to point to the JRE inside the JDK.Second question, the last info I could find was that ColdFusion 2016 is not compatible with Java version 9, is that still the case or should I go for the latest and greatest version 9? Currently version 9.0. 1 ( Java SE Development Kit 9 - Downloads  )

Is there any code coverage tool  available for ColdFusion? Either OpenSource or Commerical

I have recently starting forcing Https on one of my Coldfusion Instances.Made the appropriate changes to the Axis2.xml file within the instance and was able to register a web service.This specific web service that is failing is being called from another CF instance that isn't forcing Https but it does have this configuration in the Axis2.xml    <transportReceiver name="https"                       class="coldfusion.xml.rpc.CFAxisServletListener">          <parameter name="port">80</parameter>    </transportReceiver>    <transportReceiver name="https"                       class="coldfusion.xml.rpc.CFAxisServletListener">     &n

Recently upgraded production servers to CF16u5, and now experiencing high memory usage leading to crash.Have 4 instances in cluster with sticky sessions and replication. They are running on Unix Solaris Sparc with Apache 2.4.29, mod JK 1.2.41.Upgraded from CF11u10 where they ran fine and used the cfsetting migration tool. Immediately after upgrading the instances would start up but would not serve pages to include the CFadmin page. Found that there was a file "port.properties" with a Shutdown_port value that was being consumed and would have to be recreated multiple times while starting in order for it to serve pages.Now that I have gotten them to actually work, monitoring them in FusionReactor they are showing high memory usage in heap. GC's are happening regularly but right around 2 and a half days the memory gets maxed  out and they start bouncing disconnected in FusionReactor. The CFadmin page will still serve but it is extremely slow and I am not getting any outofmemory error

We have a websocket setup on an internal network 192.16.1.x IP addresses.  The server is running CF 2016 Updated to the latest patch as of this post.  We have a controller/publisher that was being run from an iPad and listeners/subscriber computers.  A user clicks through the site on the iPad and the displays update.  This worked until a week ago.Attempting to run Chrome on the server and open the controller URL using the 192.168.1.10:8500 URL (using ColdFusion's internal web server for simplicity) never updates the displays.  If I call the same URL changing to the local IP, 127.0.0.1:8500 then all of the displays/subscribers get their updates.I opened several Chrome browsers on the server itself pointing one to the controller and the others to the same URLs as the displays would use, i.e. 192.168.1.10:8500/index.cfm?mychannel=channel1, 192.168.1.10:8500/index.cfm?mychannel=channel2, 192.168.1.10:8500/index.cfm?mychannel=channel3Calling the serve

Hi, we have a multitenant public cloud hosted service offering that uses cold fusion and I'm told i will need an ISV licence agreement for this and cant buy per cpu licences.  Does anyone have experience on how this is priced and what metrics are used as it's really not clear to me.

Recently, a user informed me that the RichText editor within her form had changed.  When she used the form to send out an email, the copy that she got had no message text.  After two more try's, I decided to try this on our test environment and the same thing happened.<cftextarea name="textarea1" height="200" width="525" richtext="yes" required="YES" toolbar="basic" message="Please type your message." />When this field (textarea1) gets filled in and I dump the FORM elements I get textarea1 [empty string].  Any ideas why this would have started happening and what I need to do in order to correct it again??Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.David

I have had to reinstall CF9 on windows 7 but lost IIS connect. After several trials, decided to use the built-in server for my development. Installed fine and get the administrator page under port 8500. I'd like to put that in my inetpub/wwwroot/ path and have access to CF sites via localhost at that inetpub/wwwroot location.CF doc says can do this by changing the jrun-web.xml file under "virtual-mapping". I moved CFIDE to  inetpub/wwwroot/ pathAdobe ColdFusion 9 * Using the built-in web server I tried it with:"<virtual-mapping>    <resource-path>/*</resource-path>    <system-path>C:/inetpub/wwwroot/</system-path>  </virtual-mapping>"but gets 404 error for http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm "java.io.FileNotFoundException"Would like to be able to keep everything where I have it in the inetpub/wwwroot folder rather than move all files to the CF9/wwwroot/ directory.I'm guessing I have not changed
