ColdFusion

Hi, The XMLtransform function is throwing an error on our DEV server; our other 3 servers are fine. The JVM flag -Dcoldfusion.xml.allowPathCharacters=true has been applied. I am just the programmer but our system admin ask me to post this issue to see if there is another solution we can try.  XMLtransform was working fine until changes were made to get the PDF generator working. It took a few attempts on DEV before it was successful and the changes applied to the other servers. Now the XMLtransform throws the "Unable to process the XML string as it could probably contain file paths" error only on DEV. Server DetailsServer ProductColdFusion 2023Version2023,0,08,330668EditionEnterprise  Operating SystemWindows Server 2019  OS Version10.0  Update Level/E:/ColdFusion2023/cfusion/lib/updates/chf20230008.jar  Adobe Driver Version5.1.4 (Build 0001)  Tomcat Version9.0.85.0  Device IDbaad85e0431b7ba6b236f5b26081f8dded7b034df8355d964dba34e7366d15

Is it possible to copy my production VM (CF 2021, MSSQL) from Production to test server?Or do I need to reinstall CF2021 on the test server and then copy the site cfm files to the test server?

Hi all, since we have installed the latest microsoft server pachtes (KB5041773, KB5041576, KB5041773), our ColdFusion Instances having an issue with the CFSPREADSHEET function. we are facing the following error message:  Message Could not initialize class java.awt.Font StackTrace java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class java.awt.Font at java.desktop/java.awt.font.TextLayout.singleFont(TextLayout.java:468) at java.desktop/java.awt.font.TextLayout.<init>(TextLayout.java:530) at org.apache.poi.ss.util.SheetUtil.getDefaultCharWidth(SheetUtil.java:273) at org.apache.poi.ss.util.SheetUtil.getColumnWidth(SheetUtil.java:248) at org.apache.poi.ss.util.SheetUtil.getColumnWidth(SheetUtil.java:233) at org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFSheet.autoSizeColumn(HSSFSheet.java:2220) at coldfusion.excel.Excel.autoResize(Excel.java:1622) at coldfusion.excel.Excel.writeExcel(Excel.java:5613) at coldfusion.excel.ExcelServiceImpl.writeToExcel(ExcelServiceImpl.java:

I have a 2016 coldfusion server installed on a virtual machine (8gb cpu and 16gb ram) running windows 2012 r2.The system cannot support many users simultaneously.With jmeeter I tested a simple page that creates a loop from 1 to 10K showing the output and if I run the request with 100 users, the CF application is super slow.CPU rises to 30% and ram stays at 80%.Can someone help me?Thank you

I have a server that is running ColdFusion 2018.  I'm running the CF2023 installer and get to this screen: Accrording to the official online documentation (Install the server configuration (adobe.com)) it says:Previous Serial Number: Enter the serial number of a previously installed version of ColdFusion. Enter this number along with the serial number for the new ColdFusion installation.Use the previous serial number if you upgrading ColdFusion from a previous version. What I don't understand is why the Previous Serial Number text box remains greyed out and allowing no input no matter what what choices are made.  I can input my CF2023 Enterprise serial and get the green checkmark, but the Previous Serial Number remains greyed out.  I tried check the check box options which also made no difference.  I do have the CF2018 Enterprise key to provide if it would let me.  Could it be that it's because I'm upgrading from CF2018 and not CF2021? I'm a

After installing Update 14 on CF2021, we're seeing intermittent query errors with the message [Oracle JDBC Driver]arraycopy: destination index -1 out of bounds.   Could this be a driver issue?  We're connecting to an Oracle 19c v19.23.0.0.0.  I see several ojdbc jar files on the web server; ojdbc8.jar being the highest version.     Any thoughts?   [Editorial: Corrected the update number reported here, based on subsequent information provided in this thread.)

Is it possible to do an in place upgrade of Coldfusiton 2018 to 2023?  Keep it on the same server and just update the version of coldfusion?  If we install it on the system and have both versions of Coldfusion on the server, how do we reconfigure it so it uses the correct version?  Can we uninstall the old version once the new version is installed?

I need to build  an electronically signed PDF application to replace a Docusign type product that we currently use. We are using CF2021. Can anyone point me to where someone has done work on something like this, best pracrtices or any issues I should think about before proceeding?I posted this similar question 3 years ago. I wanted to see if there are better options now.

I am trying to update our ColdFusion server from version 13 to 14, and then to 15. We are running pn Windows Server 2022 and using latest version of IIS. Whenever I try to update from the admin portal I get "There were errors in the previous install of this update.Please refer to the logs in the folder E:\bundles\updateinstallers\ and fix the root cause before re-applying the hotfix again." The logs files show the following errors: Moving files failed:Status: FATAL ERRORAdditional Notes: FATAL ERROR - Could not move the file ..\cfusion\lib\updates\chf20210013.jar to the backup location ..\cfusion\hf-updates\hf-2021-00014-330296\backup\lib\updates\chf20210013.jar Failed to copy hotfix files:..Users\myUser\877626.tmp\dist\cfusion\..\bundles\bundlesdependency.jsonStatus: FATAL ERRORAdditional Notes: FATAL ERROR - Failed to copy the hotfix files to the target location:..\cfusion\..\bundles\bundlesdependency.jsonFATAL ERROR - ..\cfusion\..\bundles\bundlesdependency.json (Acce

Hello, We have few internal tasks that try to query our SMA(Systems Management Appliance) to fetch some data on our CF 2023 stack.However, we have been getting  a specific error mentioned below. Surprisingly, the error seems to be intermittent. It works sometimes and fails later after trying consecutively  Error is: Error Executing Database Query.: Communications link failure The last packet successfully received from the server was 48 milliseconds ago. The last packet sent successfully to the server was 63 milliseconds ago  we are using mysql data source type as other(connection string mentioned below) and the connection verification says "OK" but the query fails  intermittently.  jdbc:mysql://xx..xx.com:3306/XXX?connectTimeout=5000&failOverReadOnly=false&enabledTLSProtocols=TLSv1.2&trustCertificateKeyStoreUrl=file:/opt/mysql.keystore&trustCertificateKeyStoreType=JKS&trustCertificateKeyStorePassword=XXX&serverTi

I had multiple sites serving OK from IIS as part of a platform migration from CF 2018 to CF2023.After applying my agency's wildcard cert in the IIS Bindings panel for each site, both would load correctly browsing from the IIS Management context (I have a hosts file to resolve for loopback), but one of them respondes with a 404 from the servlet container when request is from a remote host and another loades normally when remote request. I pretty familiar with wsconfig and the webserver connector implementation but have never seen this happen before. I've deleted the connector configurations and rebuilt them both individually and a a single 'all websites' wsconfig configuration. Restart IIS and the CF Application service, and clearing cfclasses as well.I've also deleted the websites in IIS and wsconfig files, starting over (rinse/repeat). Again, this misbehavior only happened after applying SSL binding. I don't have the AJP communication SSL'd, only the HTTPS protocol.. BT

Working on some legacy code that runs fine in older CF versions like 10~16, and hitting an error while trying to migrate to (Developer) CF 2021,0,15,330303 on Win 11 for a client. The line producing the error is:  <cfreport template="#struReturn.reportGen.cfrTemplate#" query="#struReturn.reportGen.queryName#" format="PDF" filename="#struReturn.reportGen.outputFilename#"> (yes, the source cfr is there, and the line is not even called if the query is empty) The error is:Report compilation error.  Premature end of file.Which implies that the server cannot handle or decrypt the cfr, or parse the resulting xml internally (?). I have tried placing the patch file hf202100-4212391.jar in the \cfusion\lib\updates\ folder - as prescribed in a similar issue here. The jar is still there after restarting the service. I don't know if this is relevent, but since UPDATE 15 the CF Admin keeps insisting that 6 modules are not installed: document, htmltopdf,

Okay I kinda feel like I am going crazy. I installed CF23 on my Mac apparently using the Built-In web server. The customer's site I am working on is kinda funky and they use a URL rewrite to hid the file names and query string params ... soooo I abandoned that install and I loaded IIS on a borrowed laptop and when I install ColdFusion 2023 I don't see where I get the choice to NOT use the built in web server. I want to hook into IIS so I can use the rewrite things ... is there some configuration thing I messed up that didn't allow me to install without the Built-In server? Is it because I installed the Developer's versions?  I feel like I am going mental here.

When I configure the connector for IIS in 2016 vesion, it prompt error "all the iis sites are already configured by some other version of coldfusion", how can I removed the configured IIS for other version? Thanks

Is there any reason why a ColdFusion developer would use HomeSite as a development platform instead of DreamWeaver? It seems the newest Dreamweaver interface would be particularly useful for any ColdFusion developer. Would it raise a red flag for you if a developer said they only use HomeSite? I realize this is a strange question, but please give me your thoughts. thanks!

 Hello Adobe-Team, we have been using ADOBE ColdFusion since 2003 and would like to continue using this technology in our organization (Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge).However, we are currently facing an issue where some components are missing or incomplete in the notice files of ColdFusion.We opened a ticket with Adobe regarding this issue in June 2023, but we have yet to receive any response. I urgently need a solution; otherwise, we will have to shut down the applications we have been developing with ColdFusion for many years.I am requesting your assistance. The ColdFusion ticket number is: [ColdFusion case# 108222] Re: URGENT!
