ColdFusion

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 My questions are: Is there a need to upgrade to a newer version of the JDK?Has anyone encountered any significant issues or challenges during the upgrade process?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.

Hello,After entering the ColdFusion license key getting below error as described herehttps://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/using/coldfusion-licensing-activation.html.However, https://coldfusion.adobe.io is not accessable from anywhere.

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

I want to geneate 100+ UUIDs，is there simple way?

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've tested this against existing installations, as well as a brand new untweaked install. Issue:Simply running C:\ColdFusion2021\config\cfsetup>cfsetup set runtime postparameterslimit=9999 C:\ColdFusion2021\cfusion is slow.  Furthermore, if I do an import of a json full of runtime variables, it take 1 minute per variable.  I am seeing this in the config.log in the cfsetup directory: 25-01-08 13:47:06:753 ERROR main mobile.MobileServlet:258 - Read timed outjava.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed outat java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method) ~[?:?]at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead(SocketInputStream.java:115) ~[?:?]at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:168) ~[?:?]at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:140) ~[?:?]at java.io.BufferedInputStream.fill(BufferedInputStream.java:252) ~[?:?]at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read1(BufferedInputStream.java:292) ~[?:?]at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(Buffere

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

Hello everyone,I'm having issue with manually install CF 2021 Update 18 with offline mode (java.exe -jar <InstallerReposityUnzippedPath>\bundles\updateinstallers\hotfix-018-330341.jar).

I also try manual step with cfusion\bin\cfpm.bat to update packages and it gives the same errors. Is anyone else having the same issue?V/R,Thao

Hi Sir/Madam,Does any one having this: "To display this webpage correctly, resubmit the data you entered earlier. By doing this, you will repeat any action this page previously performed." when click back or click on a button with code: history.back(); ? Strange, the same identical code works on our another coldfusion server ( both environments are Win2019, and Coldfusion 2016).  I do not see any server error or client error. Much appreciated for your help. James

Greetings one and all - I recently tried to create a new scheduled task, and I made enough of them over the years that it should be an issue.I go through the process, and the get this message: An error occurred scheduling the task.For input string: "u=4" I have no idea where or what this message is referring to.I look under the Additional Settings, and under Priority in the input field it shows:u=4. I know I didn't enter it. When I change it, it resets it back to 'u=4,' and I get the error message again.No matter what value I choose, (blank or a number), I get the error message, and the value is back to u=4. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks  

Hello CF community:I am running RHEL8 and Oracle 21c, I may be able to downgrade to Oracle 19c, but I would rather not.CF CF 2021 and 2023 support matrices indicate that both support Oracle 19c, any infor on Oracle 21c support ? CF2021 supports RHEL8.x and Oracle19c but I can NOT find a CF2021 download for trial/testing, any help ?CF2023 apparently only supports RHEL 9.1+, is this actually the case, it does NOT support RHEL 8.x ?Thanks in advance!

Hello Team,These days I am facing weird issue with bulk emails delievery in my application. For example, if I am sending around 300 emails via cfmail tag, sometimes these all emails will go fine and sometimes some emails will stuck in my undelievered emails folder.I end up sending these emails manually, sometimes it gets really bad when undelievered emails goes upto 2000. Through error logs, I am able to see below error:Nov 17, 2023 07:05:09 AM Error [mailWorker-9] - com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 451 4.7.500 Access denied, please try again later. Which is really weird, because rest all successfully delievered emails are sent via same server/using same credentials. Not sure, why it starts saying "Access denied" all of a sudden.Looking forward to hear some possible solutions from community. Please feel free to comment in case you faced similar issue in your application.Thanks,Dhanshree Joshi
