I am trying to get the PDF manager to work on coldfusion 2025 (developer addition) running on Ubuntu with Apache web server. I did the full GUI install (ColdFusion_2025_GUI_WWEJ_linux64.bin ) select developer addition, all add ons etc. Did no install the separate addons download. So jetty is instslled under cfusion.After installation I can verify the PDF Manager ( in my case the install changed the port to 8999). Like some other post I have seen I was seeing the unregistered in the log. Selecting edit and saving without any changes allowed me to verify and provided the reghistered log item:May 2, 2025 07:15:06 AM Information [http-nio-8500-exec-4] - PDFg service manager http://127.0.0.1:8997/PDFgServlet/ unregistered.May 2, 2025 07:15:06 AM Information [http-nio-8500-exec-4] - PDFg service manager http://127.0.0.1:8997/PDFgServlet/ registered.I do have it connected to appache anbd the web root is set so in a file called test.cfm I have:<cfhtmltopdf><h1>Hello World<

Updated ColdFusion 2023 from update 22 to update 23. After restarting every instance aside from the cfusion instance would crash upon restarting. In the coldfusion-errors.log, you have two entries: SEVERE: End event threw exceptionjava.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Cannot find method [setChannel] in object [StandardEngine[Catalina]] of class [class org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine] at org.apache.tomcat.util.IntrospectionUtils.callMethod1(IntrospectionUtils.java:541)WARNING: Catalina.start using D:\ColdFusion2023\D1/runtime/conf/server.xmlorg.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: file://D/ColdFusion2023/D1/runtime/conf/server.xml; lineNumber: 117; columnNumber: 19; Error at line [117] column [19]: [Cannot find method [setChannel] in object [StandardEngine[Catalina]] of class [class org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine]]No other log files were generated. The cfusion instance operated normally and we were able to uninstall the update.
We have a legacy app that extensively uses CFTABLE and CFCOL. Since these tags were removed from CF2025 I was wondering if it would be possible for Adobe to post the source code for these tags so that we can define them as customtags so that we don’t need to manually re-write every page in this application. It doesn’t seem like it would be that big of a deal for them to do this and it would save us a great deal of time and effort as all we would need to do is change <CFTABLE to <CF_CFTABLE and <CFCOL to <CF_CFCOL [or whatever the customtag is called] instead of changing all of the HTML on every single CFM file.thanks.
There are a few issues with this page that I wanted to report. The ColdFusion Updates download link is not a link, but is formatted as a link (Download and install updates for Adobe ColdFusion (2023 release). Adobe recommends always applying the latest ColdFusion (2023 release) update.) This should link to the ColdFusion 2023 Updates page, but does not. Java SE 17.0.19 has some high-severity issues and Java SE 17.0.20 was released on 7/21/2026 and still has not been posted to the site. Can you please post that? The bottom of the page shows a Document History section that is badly neglected - showing only document updates from 2023!
Will need to upgrade Windows server from 2016 to 2019 or 2022. Will Coldfusion 2021 release be compatible with Windows Server 2019 or 2022? thanks
Today i received Adobe Security Bulletin indicating a priority 1 patch had been released for ColdFusion. I reviewed the list of critical vulnerabilities patched and immediately started to patch my servers. I have a secure server, so i cannot use the CF Administrator to install. I referred to https://guides.adobe.com/coldfusion/en/docs/introduction-to-coldfusion/coldfusion-2023-updates.html and downloaded the hotfix jar and the packages zip. However the hash published on that page for the hotfix and packages repository:“Hotfix and packages repository - link - (MD5:651E86B76AF4D405EAB2D177EC82EAE3”does not match the hash i generated after downloading the file. (I tried it multiple times, downloading from the web browser and via curl. I even tried downloading the packages to a personal device. The file size is always consistent, however the hash does not match. I can find no other hash. Below are the results of my download, the file sizes of downloaded files and the hash results.comman

I have an interesting case in which the reflection removal heuristic fails. This is an information plaque at the museum entry: Before reflection removalAfter the removal to my astonishment the algorithm removed the white labels, and left the top right side reflections completely unchanged: Removed labels , reflections unchanged.Thanks,Thomas
Where the heck do you report a bug? Now I know why the Adobe developers say they don't have any bugs in their queue. No one can figure how to report one.I was also told they offer free installation support. Where and how do you reach them? I've scoured the website and can't find it.
I worked for quite some time to try to create a devcontainer setup that would: Allow me to use code completion and linting Allow me to use linting Allow me to use the Security Analyzer.The first two are easy. You need a specific environment, but you don’t need to set up a server or a project. The Security Analyzer appears to require: A specific environment A server RDS, with an account. A project. Setting up a project within a devcontainer is deeply unpleasant. You have container within a container, and it appears to require you to use a VS Code project, as well as the extension’s own project files. I tend to avoid using VS Code Workspaces with devcontainers in general, because I run into conflicts between the two.I got a far as the setup below. With this and a bunch of manual setup, I think I could possibly arrive at an environment where the Security Analyzer would work, but it would be a lot of labor, and very finicky. I want something I can hand off to another developer, and the onl
I just discovered that my ColdFusion PMT 2023 server had run out of disk space on the volume where the PMT is installed (separate disk from where Windows is installed). This is a dedicated server running on Windows Server 2022.I added more space to the volume and tried to restart both the data store service and the PMT service. The datastore service will start, but the PMT service will not. The Windows Event log had no useful information about why it won't start. The PMT exception log says: [ERROR] 2026-07-17 12:38:46.675 com.adobe.pms.es.client.ElasticSearchClient - Datastore Service not available. Retrying to connect...[ERROR] 2026-07-17 12:39:19.284 com.adobe.pms.es.client.ElasticSearchClient - Datastore Service not available.

Hi everyone,I’m working with an XML feed in a ColdFusion project where menu-related data is stored as a comma-separated string inside a single node. Each entry starts with a category or brand name, followed by multiple items, but I only need to display that first value.Example XML (simplified):<cfxml variable="menuData"><catalog> <item> <type>Drinks</type> <details>Cold Brew Coffee, Vanilla Latte, Caramel Mocha, Iced Americano</details> </item> <item> <type>Specials</type> <details>Holiday Drinks, Peppermint Mocha, Sugar Cookie Latte</details> </item></catalog></cfxml>What I’m trying to output is just the first part of each details string:Cold Brew CoffeeHoliday DrinksI assume this can be handled with string functions after parsing the XML, but I’d like to confirm the cleanest approach in ColdFusion, especially if the data grows later.This is part of a menu-structuring projec
I’m trying to import REST services from a ColdFusion 2023 server into ColdFusion API Manager. The same process works with other ColdFusion versions, but this error occurs: CFDiscoveryPortalServiceImpl - Error retrieving available REST services
Images in cfr reports are not displayed with CF 2025, no matter whether I use a relative path, an absolute path, or a file url. They were still displayed in previous CF versions.Is this a restriction of the developer version I am currently using?Any help is appreciated.

An update came out yesterday and someone at our company was attempting to install it to our servers. We noticed that one of the servers was not loading the CFAdmin screen. So we applied the patch via the command line instead, hoping that may fix the issue but it didn’t. We are currently on ColdFusion 2023 (2023,0,21,330920) on Windows Server 2019. The troubleshooting steps taken were rebooting the server as well as running the Web Configuration tool to remove and recreate the profile.Any help is appreciated. The error we are getting is:Could not find the included template ../../login.cfm. Note: If you wish to use an absolute template path (for example, template="/mypath/index.cfm") with CFINCLUDE, you must create a mapping for the path using the ColdFusion Administrator. Or, you can use per-application settings to specify mappings specific to this application by specifying a mappings struct to THIS.mappings in Application.cfc. Using relative paths (for example, template="index.cfm

I’m trying to setup a configurable coldfusion docker/kuberntes environment where I can just swap the datasource configs in order to boot up different stages.I have managed to do this locally on docker by setting up datasources in the cfusion admin page, and then copying the neo-datasource.xml configuration to my host machine.After that, I adjusted my docker compose to mount the neo-datasource.xml to it’s respective location: volumes: - ./coldfusion/neo-datasource.xml:/opt/coldfusion/cfusion/lib/neo-datasource.xmlThis works.Though, this only works locally, and not on kubernetes. In my attempt to replicate this for kubernetes, I have mounted the neo-datasource.xml into my kuberntes deployment via configmap, but cfusion attempts to write into neo-datasource.xml which is an issue because kubernetes configmaps are always read-only. Here’s the correlating log error: Unable to install SQL package: coldfusion.server.ServiceRuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/coldfus
