ColdFusion

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! ColdFusion Notice-File Please also refer to the attached document with the results of our internal review. And here is the translation for the results:  For many components, the complete license text is missing. A web link cannot be accepted. The full license text must be provided at least once per license. This applies, among oth

Dear I have a server with Windows Server 2012 R2 and a CF 2021 in production, we have a problem with the request tunning configured on the server(240) that sometimes arrives to the maximum configured and the service goes down. Sometimes is necesary a restart the service for continues with the service. The Datasource PostgreSQL configured on the client is configureded to Restrict connections to 210.We had the same configurations implemented on a CF 2016 and a service of monitoring without problems.The update of CF2021 is the version 13, I attach a snapshot about that.We activate a service of monitoring FusionReactor and the requests goes up until double or more of connections, so the system is very loaded and blocks easier. So we don't know what's happening we attach some snapshot about cfstat, FusionReactor and request tunning configured. I hope you can help meBest regards.                    

We're running some tests and were wondering if code inside a CFTHREAD block actually runs the calling page's Application.cfc file?  Our initial throught is: no.  We've run a couple tests to indicate the answer is: no.  But, I thought I'd post the question here since we found no documentation online on the matter. Our test involved putting a 'hit counter' in an Application file's onRequest() method to log page hits to a DB.  We then ran a CFTHREAD block on the page.  The hit count showed just one page hit which, to us, would indicate only the page-level thread hit the application file and not the CFTHREAD invoked. Is this a sound experiment? Thanks, all

I use ColdFusion2021 update13, uses 2 logs that output to the api.log file (other logs output to other files) - one uses log4j2 (of update13) with CreateObject("java", "org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager"), - the other uses my own build class CreateObject("java", "MyApiLog") (simply only logger.warn(str))(both use 2 separate .properties files)and uses the error-page <location>/Error404.cfm</location> handler in web.xmlAfter starting app serverAt the Login screen (e.g. localhost:8500/index.cfm), when I access a non-existent file (e.g. localhost:8500/index.cfma)the Error404.cfm runs OK and a "File not found" error (coldfusion.filter.ExceptionFilter$ApplicationExceptionWrapper: File not found: /Error404.cfm The specific sequence of files included or processed is: '''') is output to exception.log (up to here everything is OK)After login ok (eg: localhost:8500/home/index.cfm), when I access a non-existent file (eg: localhost:8500/home/index.cfma)the Error404.cfm runs

Hi, I have activated my license via offline activation on a Windows 2022 server now I was told to put the Windows 2022 server on hold and instead have ColdFusion on a Windows 2019 server instead. How do I go about of redoing the offline activation again?  There are old posts that mentioned of moving the licensekey but that is not working on ColdFusion 2023.  

Hello - I have a unqiue scenario where I installed the 2018 CF Add-On Service (obtained here https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-downloads.html#downloads2.) on a development server running on windows. No issues and the PDF service creates PDF's using cfhtmltopdf.  I took the same steps on the production server however even though the admin console validates that the pdf service is "OK", I get an error when trying to generate using cfhtmltopdf stating "No Service manager is available".  I have stopped and restarted the service along with the server. Windows reboots. Uninstalled and reinstalled the service add-on. Validated that the ports are available.   I'm at wits end as I can only work on this after hours so I can bring the server down if needed and I'm not sure what else to look at other than doing a complete CF reinstall, which I want to avoid if at all possibe.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

0I just installed ColdFusion 2018 Developer Edition on my Windows 10 laptop and configured it to use the built-in web server. Previously I was using ColdFusion 10.Now I have a case-sensitivity problem. For example, all css and js references are now case-sensitive, whereas they weren't when I was using ColdFusion 10. The same is true for calls to images and plain html files. I modified the context.xml file (in the /cfusion/runtime/conf folder) to include <Context AllowLinking="true" caseSensitive="true"> (and yes, I also tried caseSensitive="false") and have restarted several times, but no luck yet.The 404 error messages specify Apache Tomcat.Any ideas on how to restore case-insensitivity? Thanks in advance for any help.

I have project that takes an html file and using Chrome headless it converts that html into a PDF. That all works great, the problem is that I want to be able to save that html file as a jpg thumbnail. I know you can do it using Puppeteer but I'm not sure how to get Puppeteer to execute using CFEXECUTE as puppeteer is run from the command line like this: node testcase1.js testcase1.js holds all the puppeteer code. If I run it direct from the command line it works perfectly. i've tried using a cfexecute in various ways: <cfexecute name="node.exe" arguments="testcase1.js"><cfexecute name="C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe" arguments="testcase1.js"> but nothing happens, the page doesnt even error. I've tried adding an output variable to see any errors and its just blank. Can anyone offer any advice to get this working?

Hello, At some point recently I lost debug output on a client dev site. In the Admin, Debugging is turned on, but I get the error ball on the Debugging IP Addresses page. Logs show  "Variable IPS is undefined".    I tried adjusting the neo-debug.xml several ways according to comments in the following post, but no joy:  https://community.adobe.com/t5/coldfusion-discussions/coldfusion-2021-admin-submenus-no-longer-appear/td-p/12320675   This is an AWS server with manual CF installed. Developer license.   Debugging was previously working.      "Error","http-nio-8502-exec-3","08/16/24","10:29:08","cfadmin","Variable IPS is undefined. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\ColdFusion2021\REDACTED\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\debugging\iplist.cfm, line: 327" coldfusion.runtime.UndefinedVariableException: Variable IPS is undefined.  

I have a security requirement to shut down hosted applications in the event of audit (logging) failure.  Since ColdFusion handles logging, I was trying to find out what happens to ColdFusion should logging fail - out of disk space, or I/O error or whatever?  Does CF start overwriting older logfiles in the rotation?  Does the server crash?  Do error messages queue up or just get lost?  I know that CF will usually fail to start if there is a disk space issue at the time of startup, but I'm more concerned with what happens during normal processing.  Any info/help appreciated.

I have a CF 2018 install (2018.0.13.329786) on Windows Server 2016 Standard and I need to write events to the Windows Event Log. How can I do this?

ColdFusion v. 2023,0,0,330468The following code works fine unless I try adding bold formatting to the footer.  Then it will show "Page 2 of 1" instead of "Page 1 of 1".  Does anyone know if this is a bug or if there are limitations on the formatting in the footer?  Is there a workaround to get it bold?  I've tried using both a CSS class and inline CSS within a <span> tag, as well as using the <b></b> tag, to turn the footer bold, but each option throws the page numbering off in the resultant PDF file.<cfhtmltopdfitem type="footer" align="center" showonprint="yes" evalAtPrint="true" numberformat="numeric">        <b>Page <cfoutput>#cfhtmltopdf.currentPageNumber# of #cfhtmltopdf.totalPageCount#</cfoutput></b></cfhtmltopdfitem>

Currently, I am using CryptoJS v3.1.2 Library file which has vulnerabilty. How to mitigate this issue in Coldfusion?

My organization recently updated from CF2018 to CF2021 and I've encountered some odd behavior for which Google has been unable to provide an answer. The following line of code started throwing an error:<cfset queryName.currentRow += queryName2.numberOfLines>The error is:There is a problem in the column mappings specified in the columnMap structure.The query attribute input does not contain any column by the name of currentRow. Even a simpler test throws the same error:<cfset queryName.currentRow = '10'> I cannot figure out if this was an intentional change between CF2018 and CF2021 or a bug. I do know that it was not throwing an error in CF2018. Has anyone encountered something like this?

The uninstall for ColdFusion 2018 never completes. Tried from uninstall folder as well as from control panel .Only the CF 2018 Add on services could be uninstalled via Control Panel.The server is a clone.CF 2018 shut down. No references to CF2018 in IIS remaining.ColdFusion 2023 installed and running.  

Hi, I'm currently researching on why my company's ColdFusion application's neo-cron.xml file occasionally gets wiped out. This issue only happens to certain clients, so we're suspecting that it's an environmental issue and not something (at least not directly) caused by our application. We have recreated this issue occasionally on our internal testing/development environments, and both times it seems that the ColdFusion server is running low on resources (i.e. available memory is running low, processing is nearly reaching 100%, etc.). I have attempted to search elsewhere for possible causes for it, but had no luck. So I'm hoping the Adobe community has some insight into this problem. Thanks!

We upgraded from CF11 to CF2023 and are getting fileUploadAll parameter validation error. Here is our the code snippet:fileUploadAll(    destination="#destPath#",   onconflict="overwrite",   continueonerror = "true",   mimeType="application/pdf",   strict="true",  acceptextensions=".pdf"); This is the error in the application.log:Parameter validation error for the FILEUPLOADALL function.The Valid Parameter for function FILEUPLOADALL are [destination, mimetype, onconflict, strict, continueonerror, errorvariable] This is the function definition listed on the Adobe site:FileUploadAll(destination, accept, nameConflict, strict, continueOnError, errors, allowedExtensions) As you can see the parameter lists do not match and when I modify the code to match either list, it still throws an error. Thank you for your help. - Barb

We have a 2018 CF server that cannot be updated. There are some legacy app that do not lend themselves to that.  We would like to disable the neotranslator compiler but cannot find any documention on doing so. Any assistance would be appreciated.
