ColdFusion

Hello, all,Our DBA just approached me and said that it appears as though CF11 is not cooperating with reverse DNS lookups.  She says that it's not Apache, and there are no errors appearing in any logs or emails - it just isn't doing any reverse DNS lookups; as if the code just isn't executed when it gets to that point.Has anyone, here, heard of or experienced this kind of issue with CF11?  I am at a total loss.V/r,^_^

Hi, I just installed update 12 for ColdFusion 11 on one of our instances. It appears that both coldfusion-error.log and coldfusion-out.log file locations have changed, they are now located with other ColdFusion logs. They used to be located in the <cf_root>\Instance\log folder, now they are located in the log directory we set up in CF Admin, under Debugging & Logging > Logging Settings. This is great, but I did not find any information about this change in the Update change log located on: ColdFusion 11 Update 12 . Has anyone else noticed this difference?

I have an API get request that returns a couple hundred rows with a dozen or so columns of data (one of which contains a paragraph of text). It's not a huge amount of data, but it's not tiny either. This data isn't updated frequently, so I set up caching in the API and set it to 86,400 seconds (1 day).When I run the API from the RESTClient extension in my Firefox browser the first time it takes about 5 seconds to return back the data set. With caching set, I assumed it would come back much quicker on subsequent tries, but there appears to be no difference. I tried it 6 or 7 times after setting caching and it didn't change.Then, I set the query to cache every 6 hours to see if that would make a difference. In theory, at least as far as I can tell, it shouldn't, because if the API manager is caching the response it shouldn't be getting back to the query anyhow, but this time it made a huge difference. Now the results come back almost instantaneously.Given these observations, it seems to

I am looking for ways to better secure our APIs through API Manager. Originally, I was looking for a way to implement JWT, but I don't see anything in the API manager for that (If you know of something I am missing, please let me know). My question, though, involves the Admin screen "Security Configuration". I can't find any documentation on this screen, and there is an option for "encryption seed", but I don't know what that does or how to set it up (or if it will help my in securing my APIs). If someone has information or documentation on any of these things, please let me know.

Recently my company announced that we had to move to a new software vendor for ldap.  We're in the testing phase and I my cfldap is returning an error.  Can anyone help me figure out the bind error?  I'm at a loss.  The exact same settings were working with our other system and I have verified that my port is correct.Detail One or more of the required attributes may be missing or incorrect or you do not have permissions to execute this operation on the server.

I have got a request from a client stating to Update password for database connection for a specific site, how to do that in ColdFusion 11.

I downloaded the ColdFusion 2016 trial and saved to Downloads:I double-click the file & it starts unpackingIt then starts the following screen & completesThen it opens this screen & disappears?It never installs?I have rebooted multiple times. I made sure there are no stuck programs to install/uninstall.I have tried running as AdminNote: I do have the latest CF Builder installed.

I'm trying to create a load balanced cluster with failover in CF2016 between two Windows 2016 servers. I had both servers running independent instances of ColdFusion and then followed the instructions found here Adobe ColdFusion 10 * Enabling clustering for load balancing and failover to create the cluster. Now the instance on the host server is no longer working and I can't access the administrator on the server either. The first instance I created on the remote server does still work and is still accessible. So to summarize I basically have this:Server 1 - hostCF2016 developer editionWindows Server 2016IISCluster with two instances - one hosted on this machine the other hosted on server 2Administrator is no longer accessible and instance no longer worksServer 2 - remoteCF2016 developer editionWindows Server 2016IISTwo instances - one instance is part of the cluster on server 1Instance 2 is not accessible in anyway - I didn't expect it to be since I would need to access it through the

I was recently contacted by Sencha's attorney stating that we owe them a licence fee for use of ExtJS 4.1.  My understanding is that it is included in the Adobe ColdFusion 2016 licencing since it is built into the software ie: cflayout, cfgrid etc..  Can you provide the license agreement information regarding ExtJs 4.1 as it pertains to my Adobe ColdFusion 2016 software?

Hi,Looking at installing ColdFusion2016.The current Cold Fusion 11 is that the web server and application is on one server.The suggestion for the new environment would be to have a web server with IIS on one server and an application server, containing ColdFusion,.Is there any documentation for setting up the new environment?Thanks,Mike

All, I have an unusual issue with ColdFusion. I'm running ColdFusion 2016, IIS 8.5 on Windows 2012 R2. in a VMWare virtual machine. I've had to do several things to accommodate a new site on this server . We're also running the CommonSpot Content management system.The original site  "http://site-comspotAuth" runs fine ("site-comspotAuth" is the machine name with DNS being handled by Windows DNS servers inside our network). In order to add a new site to this server, I've had to change the site name to siteCSAuth and the new site is https://site2CSA.NSLOOKUP, PING and TRACERT all appear normal here's where things go weird: The original site site-comspotAuth works, CommonSpot comes up and users can author, however the second site site2CSA delivers html but not cfml, I've run the WSCONFIG tool and the handler mappings seem correct.  This also occurs if I change the name and IP of the existing site which will be siteCSAuth in the IIS bindings. This all ran smoothly on our developm

I have a table structure in HTML where I have to use rowspan and RTL(Right To Left) direction. But while converting this HTML to PDF rowspan is not working as expected. Assuming this is a bug in ColdFusion where an HTML with rowsapn and RTL direction is not working correctly.Note that this is working fine for LTR (Left To Right) direction (ex: English Characters). But I need to use RTL direction since Arabic characters need to be displayed in PDF.Sample Code : <cfdocument format="PDF" filename="C:\test.pdf" overwrite="true">  <!DOCTYPE html><html><head><style>  table, th, td {      border: 1px solid black;  }  table#mainTable {direction:rtl;}</style></head><body><cfoutput><table id="mainTable">  <tr>    <td>Tariff</td>    <td>Description</td>    <td>Quantity</td>    <td>U

Folks,I am installing ColdFusion on RedHat 7 and the installer poses an interesting question: Where is the control file that you use to start and stop the Apache web server (For example, this could be /etc/init.d/httpd on Red Hat Linux if you installed from an rpm, usr/sbin/apache2ctl on SuseLinux, /usr/sbin/apache2ctl on Ubuntu or it could be /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl on hand-compiled versions). The fact is, as of RedHat 7+,  there is no /etc/inti.d script for apache and other services. It now uses the systemctl command system  (ex: systemctl  start (stop, reload, etc) httpdSo, do I need to make a bash wrapper script for ColdFusion 2016, is there a workaround.  Is there a commend sequence I can give?Please Advise.Jonah

I have installed and uninstalled 3 times to no avail. I know I am using the correct user/pass but when I click "login" it just sits. No error message, no "incorrect password" message or anything of the sort. It just doesn't do anything.I have followed everything I could find on how to install and it doesn't seem too complicated, but something isn't working and my googling isn't finding anyone else with this issue. It's possible that it's not working because I do not have CF installed in this VM, but my plan was to keep the API manager on it's own server. I haven't seen anything that says it needs to be on the same VM, but I don't know what else it could be.I am running Windows Server 2016.

Has anyone built a coldfusion app that integrates with the SLACK API?  We have an inhouse  CRM application built in Coldfusion.  Wanting to add Slack to the app for users.  Any guidance is helpful.

After doing some research and working on CF 2016 there is one problem that I found. My Insert/Update queries converts ; to &#59 when I try to save this character in database table. Then if I pull data from the table to display on the screen this is how data looks: Test&#59; before I saved data looked like this: Test;. I'm wondering if there is a way to fix this when outputting data or prevent CF to convert this character? If anyone have experienced the same issue please let me know. Thanks

Hello,I have a problem with CF2016 after upgrading two of our three servers; all are running behind a load balancer.  The CF2016 servers have had this problem multiple times since upgrading to CF2016, while the CF11 server has never had this problem.  So I'm pretty confident it's CF2016.Based on a URL parameter appl, we check to see if the index.cfm file exists in that folder:<cfset filename="#appl#\index.cfm"><cfif fileExists("d:\docs\#filename#")>     <cfinclude template="#filename#"><cfelse>     <cfthrow type="applDoesNotExist"></cfif>This code gets run hundreds of thousands of times per day, most with no trouble at all.Occasionally (maybe 3x a day), the bolded <cfinclude> line above errors with:java.io.IOExceptionThe process cannot access the file because it is being used by another processKey points:This ONLY happens when cfincluding dynamically-created template names.  Any instances w

Hi. How are most pagination links set up? Are they dynamic on the same page that just reloads the content from the database? Or are they linked to multiple pages such as page 1, 2, 3, etc. with the list of products or whatever you would have on your page?

In the ColdFusion admin I have mail set to send through smtp.office365.com with all their suggested settings.I can send email using cfmail, and it goes out through their smtp, but they mark it with a spam confidence level of 5. Most services accept the mail and route it to spam/junk folders. Some are refusing and returning the emails.The message headers say "Authentication-Results: spf=none (sender IP is ) smtp.mailfrom=xxx@xxx.com" where xxx@xxx.com is the sending email address. Elswwehre in the headers I can see IP address of the coldfusion server, which is in the SPF record.I have SPF set up. According to Microsoft support they say SPF and DKIM are set up correctly and it is a problem with ColdFsuion not using SPF when sending the email. This doesn't seem right to me, but I'm not sure what else to do at this point.We ae running CF10 in Windows Server 2012 r2.
