ColdFusion

We upgraded to ColdFusion 10 in April 2013.  It has been running great until the past week or so.  Now, at various times, the servers are showing the Error 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable screen.  We have 5 servers that are load balanced and are using CF10 Standard.  We are in a 32-bit environment on virtual servers.  We are running Windows Server 2003 with 4GB RAM.  Our traffic has not really changed and nothing has changed for ColdFusion on the servers.I would appreciate any assistance that anyone could lend.Thanks!

My Dept. has just bought CF10 and I'm finally updating my existing web app to CF10 from CF8. My First Problem with CF10 is using session variables.When using the lower version of CF (since CF 4 to 😎 I have never had any problem setting up session variables and getting or using these variables in other pages after a successful login but with CF 10 it seems setting session variables and using them in other pages are a major problems. I'm not sure where have I done wrong in the codes.First I'm setting the session in my Application.cfc This way:<cfcomponent displayname="Application" output="true">  <cfset THIS.Name ="MyNewApp"/>  <cfset THIS.ApplicationTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,20,0) />  <cfset THIS.SessionManagement ="YES"/>  <cfset THIS.SessionTimeout = CreateTimeSpan( 0, 0, 20, 0 ) />  <cfset THIS.SetClientCookies = false /><cffunction name="OnApplicationStart" access="public" returntype="boolean" output="false"&

Hi Everyone,Has anyone built an event gateway or other cfc into Facebook chat. I want to send messages form my facebook app into facebook chat using CF and from my reading it appears that what I want is an event gateway. I really don't know much about XMPP so any and all help is appreciated. ThanksMark

GreetingsCan anyone share the code one one put within the application.cfm to password-protect all the files in that directory?The UN & PW are stored in a DB - of course I could create a session_ID and protect each page individually, which I have been doing for years, but in this case, the pages are being loaded using a half-*ss CMS and the users, other than saving files as .cfm, will not be responsible to leave the code on each page.In the DB, the user name is subscriber_email, the password is subscriber_password.Thanks for any help.

Hi chaps,I've decided it's about time I started using cfform (3 mins in and I've already hit my first stumbling block!)I want to have an autosuggest text input for users to choose a city. In my db I have locationnames and locationids. eglocationid   |   locationname----------------------------------------1                   London2                   New York3                   ParisetcThe user will start to type the locationame - I want autosuggest to show locationanames that match, but when they submit the form I actually want the locationid to be passed..How on earth do I do this with cfform?Thanks very much for any help you can offer.Nick

I am reviewing the ColdFusion Web Connector settings in workers.properties to hopefully address a sporadic response time issue.I've been advised to inspect the output from the metrics.log file (CF Admin > Debugging & Logging > Debug Output Settings > Enable Metric Logging) and use this to inform the adjustments to the settings max_reuse_connections, connection_pool_size and connection_pool_timeout.My question is: How do I interpret the metrics.log output to help with the choice of setting values? Is there any documentation that can guide me?Examples from over a 120 hour period:95% of entries -"Information","scheduler-2","06/16/14","08:09:04",,"Max threads: 150 Current thread count: 4 Current thread busy: 0 Max processing time: 83425 Request count: 9072 Error count: 72 Bytes received: 1649 Bytes sent: 22768583 Free memory: 124252584 Total memory: 1055326208 Active Sessions: 1396"Occurred once -"Information","scheduler-2","06/13/14","14:20:22",,"Max threads: 150 Current thre

Hi,I need to install cf11 on the same windows 2008 server as an existing cf8 install.I realise it would be better to have 2 servers but in this case thats not an option open to us so I need specific help with the 2 installs.The current CF8 is using IIS7.I have done a bit of spade work and I believe the best way to do this cleanly would be to install a 2nd web server, e.g apache on windows and then configure it with CF11.I had hoped that I could actually install CF11 and just configure specific iis sites with it, hoping this would leave the cf8 configured sites intact.Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, everyone.I did fix the last Sandbox security related issue with Solr collections - it was in the "Files/Dir" section, I had to put everything under C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot.Now, I'm facing yet another Sandbox related issue with collections.I have one reindex script that has NO ISSUES when pulling data from a database and indexing a collection from that.I have another reindex script that will not index a collection from a query, unless Sandbox is disabled.  I will try to give some pseudo code.<cfquery name="search_results" datasource="documents">  SELECT DOC_ID, DOC_NAME, DOC_DESCRIPTION  FROM DOC  WHERE DOC_ID in (<cfqueryparam value="#thisList#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" list="yes">)</cfquery><cftry>  <cfindex action="refresh" collection="collection_name" key="DOC_DESCRIPTION" type="custom" title="DOC_DESCRIPTION" query="search_results" body="DOC_ID, DOC_NAME, DOC_DESCRIPTION" status="results" />  <cfcatch><cfd

I'm using CF10 and "Use J2EE session variables" is selected in the CF admin.When I visit an application, I get the JSESSIONID cookie, but I also get the CFID and CFTOKEN persistent cookies. The app I'm working with is older and uses Application.cfm instead of Application.cfc, but the clientmanagement and setclientcookies application attributes are set to false.I'm not sure why CFID and CFTOKEN are still set. Are they set regardless of the client and session management settings?

I saw one blog post from March that this was going to be fixed.  Has there been any progress?

1. create a task which uses the username password facility (eg run a page that requires authentication to reach)2. save the task (check it runs ok)3. go back in and change something (eg change when the task is to run) but don't touch the username/password bit4. save the taskthe task will now fail to run correctly as the password will now be incorrect (even through it was correct before and hasn't been touched). Is anyone else experiencing this (CF9) - I do wonder if it's my browser messing with the password field?.

Ok so I'm having a hard time getting CF10 64bit installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.10Apache version: 2.2.3I have installed CF10 but when I try to restart Apache I get this error:Starting httpd: http: Syntax error on line 992 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/httpd/conf/mod_jk.conf Cannot load /opt/coldfusion10/cfudion/wsconfig/1/mod_jk.so into server: /opt/coldfusion10/config/wsconfig/1/mod_jk.so unidentified symbol: a_get_server_descriptionEverything else seemed to work just fine but I can't get Apache to restart due to this error.Does anyone have any suggestions to try?TIA

I have received this message several times through CFERROR. The cause of this output exception was that: ClientAbortException: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error. How can I fix this?

Hi - Following on from a recent post about how to strip our special characters from a string before insertion to the db I have found this Java code - my question is, how can I turn this into something I can use with CF? I think I need to use the cfscipt tag but that's right on the boundaries of my knowledge base..

I set it up years ago but when I tried again I can't for the life of me figure out how to set up Lighthouse Pro.Just wondering if anybody knows where there might be some instructions? I looked inside the files to look for remarks but still could not figure it outI don't use coldspring or modelglue so I have to get those up and running alsoI've tried putting coldspring and model glue into the root, I've also put them into the root of the folder lhp where I have the lighthousepro files.The error I receive is:LighthousePro was unable to use the attachment directory: SETMEI've not set up a database either, rather lost ThanksMark

Hello, Currently trying to work on a "project" in which I would be updating an application to use CF11, I believe its still using 7 at the moment. I've been searching online and haven't had any luck so far. As of CF11 connectstring was removed, what can I use in place of it? I've looked for old documentation and that's hard to get a hold of, but I believe it was deprecated in CF5. I don't necessarily NEED the answer (while that would be helpful), even some direction on where to look would be nice.

I have installed ColdFusion and we noticed a strange issue with cfttp, if file upload fails due to any technical reason then all next upload for the same file will fails until we delete file from FTP location & upload fresh copy.We configured automated jobs with cfftp upload code, so every time I've to delete the file which is failed while uploading, which is not practical solution.please help me to resolve this issue permanently. Thanks in Advance.I've mentioned CFFTP code below<cfftp action="PUTFILE"server="ftp.abc.com"username=" "password=" "passive="Yes"stoponerror="Yes"localfile=”ABC.txt"remotefile="ABC.txt"transfermode="AUTO"timeout="600">

Coldfusion Builder 3.0 - Constantly goes into some type of wait state. It eventually returns...but does anyone have any ideas??

We have a blood donor database.  We currently call all these people to remind them of their appointments.  I want to start sending them emails instead.I thought it would be helpful if the e-mail had a link / image that said "Click here to add to your calendar".I see at least two concerns with that.First, I suspect the link data is different based on the type of calendar it may be added to.Second, I have no idea how to create such a link.  The appointment date / time will be different for each donor.Suggestions on how to get started on this would be appreciated.

Hi,I'm currently installing CF 10 to a couple of Linux RedHat 6 x86_64 environments.  All is well until I attempt to update the installation.If I try to run any of the updates, I receive the following error:                               Error occurred while downloading the update: Failed Signature verificationA little research taught me that adobe changed their code signing certificate; thus there is a mandatory update that must be run before any other can:   http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-10-mandatory-update.html  (I double checked our build number, we need this update).The update won't run. I followed the instructions found here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Admin/WSe61e35da8d318518-33adffe0134c60cd31c-7ffe.html  (we're running a standalone installation).I'm trying to work with

Will CF11 be available on AWS?CF10 is no longer available for new setups, so our new project is having a major roadblock.

I just (literally) installed CF11 (in production) -- just kidding, locally of course and started testing it.   I noticed right away that the QoQ that used to run in CF10 are breaking... and it's because the SQL statements contains a semicolon at the end of them. (e.g) <cfquery name="qNew" dbtype="query">   SELECT ID, Name from myOrigQuery where ID = 50; </cfquery> The error I've been getting is something like "<br><b>Query Of Queries runtime error.</b><br> The select column reference [50;] is not a column in any of the tables of the FROM table list."If I remove that semicolon, then it works fine. Is this a change? Is there a new setting in CF Admin that prevents this problem? CF 11 just came out, so googling doesn't show much of anything.... or my search criteria is not any good   I did try to search the forum if anyone has encountered it yet, but didn't find anything.

Hi,I am trying to us javascript in a page that is using cfajaximport.The issue is checking a text box for spaces and checking the radio button if it has been selected.The the textbox is called row1value1 and the radio button is called firstradio1.The function is called checkcommunityNF() which is called from the firstradio1 radio button onClick function.Per my research, I have added the CFWINDOW in the cfajaximport tag.I can not get the message to appear when the conditions are met.I have posted the code below.<cfparam name="url.myEdit" default="" /><cfparam name="myResult" default="" /><cfparam name="myLimit" default="" /><cfajaximport tags="CFINPUT-DATEFIELD, CFAJAXPROXY, CFINPUT-AUTOSUGGEST, CFPOD, CFTOOLTIP, CFSPRYDATASET-JSON, CFTEXTAREA, CFDIV, CFLAYOUT-TAB, CFFORM, CFWINDOW">   <cfoutput> <script Language="JAVASCRIPT"> function checkcommunityNF(){  if (document.two.row1value1.value =="" && document.getElementById('first

I am not seeing any components in the components panel.  I've tried creating a new one as well as finding the existing components.  Any clue on how to get this to work?  Is there a place to define the existing components directory path?
