ColdFusion

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

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

Adobe has released ColdFusion 2025 Update 10 and ColdFusion 2023 Update 21. The releases introduce some important advancements that reinforce a clear direction: secure-by-default behavior, tighter control, and better developer governance. Download the updatesColdFusion 2025 updates ColdFusion 2023 updatesThis update focuses heavily on addressing critical security concerns while also giving developers more control over how their applications interact with external systems, attachments, and XML processing.Security fixes and cumulative patchesBoth updates address multiple vulnerabilities that could result in arbitrary code execution, privilege escalation, and security control bypass.From an operational standpoint, this update is cumulative, which means patch adoption does not require sequential upgrades. However, teams skipping prior updates should account for behavioral changes introduced in intermediate versions, especially in areas that now enforce stricter validation.Attachment handli

The ColdFusion 2025 zip installers available for download at https://guides.adobe.com/coldfusion/en/docs/install-and-configure-coldfusion/coldfusion-downloads.html do not match the MD5 checksums linked from that page at https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/2025/zipinstaller/Checksum_CF2025_.zipinstaller.txtIt looks the zip installers were updated with Update 8 but the checksums haven’t been updated.

I’m trying to activate our enterprise license on a Linux server in the CF admin portal, but got this error: errorAn error occurred while trying to encrypt or decrypt your input string: Given final block not properly padded. Such issues can arise if a bad key is used during decryption.. Any advice? Thanks,Luvian 

Hello! Our software company operates a commercial CMS platform called AreaENGINE and has multiple customer websites hosted on a single ColdFusion 2025 server instance.  My question is: Can a ColdFusion 2025 Standard Named User License (NUL) be used for this type of commercial service?  We'd like to know if there are any restrictions regarding the number of websites, domains, or customers hosted on a given serverso we can confirm the licensing model before launching new customer services.

First of all, I have no coldfusion experience at all. So when answering or asking for coldfusion specifics, please try to keep your answer/question somewhat lightweight :)I’m trying to setup a minimal cfusion2025 image that runs on openshift.

After migration from CF2016 to CF2025 custom fonts are not used anymore in cfr reports. Replacement fonts are used instead.I configured them in the same way as I did in CF2016. They are displayed in the Server Settings -- Font Management tab.I am using CF2025 Update 8 on Windows 11.Please advise.

Update 8 for CF 2025.  The link for the packages is https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/2025/packages/hotfix-packages-cf2025-008-331874.zip. The link for the Jar seems to be update 7 https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/2025/updates/hotfix-007-331586.jar. Should I try the packages and update 7? This is an air gapped system. Thanks!

ColdFusion 2025 update 8 delivers native AI and LLM integration with a unified multi-provider framework, Model Context Protocol support for building and consuming AI tool interfaces, vector stores and RAG for grounding AI in your own content, passwordless passkey authentication, a rebuilt VS Code extension with Linux and Docker support, AI services monitoring in PMT, and significant language improvements including native Sets, async enhancements, and Java interoperability.What’s new in ColdFusion 2025 Update 8Native AI and LLM integrationColdFusion 2025 update 8 adds first-class AI support directly into the language. You access AI providers through built-in CFML functions that integrate with your existing components and application logic — not through generic HTTP calls. A unified provider framework lets you write one set of code that works across OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Google Gemini, and Ollama. Switching providers requires only a configuration change, no code refactoring. Two en

A recent update has broken Scheduled Tasks for us.  The small Pause, Resume and Play icons work but we are not able to create a new Scheduled Task or Edit an existing one.  We have CF 2023.0.19.330899 on both local and live servers and does this on both.  It also does this on CF  11,0,19,314546.   Whenever a new task schedule is attempted, or edit an existing one, after hitting the “Submit” button on the form, the browser says “Server sent back an empty page”.  I have tried in different browsers and it gives same results.  Can you help?

I have a new Windows 11 system and have just installed CF 2025 on it. At first the administrator opened properly, but today when I went back to do some more configuration, it refuses to open. Every time I try I get the same message … this site can’t be reached. The URL it is using is http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm I see the CF entry in services and it says it is running. I’m not an operating system guy so I really don’t know what to try next. I reinstalled CF but that didn’t fix it. Would appreciate some advice on what to do next.

I’m to this system but have been asked to update it.

The syntax highlighting is one of the most important features for IDEs because they tell coders if there are problems with the code. I'm currently using version 1.0.701 and noticed an annoying problem whenever the “#” is found on the script. CF Builder assumes that every time it encounters a #, it is part of a variable evaluation, which is commonly used in CF tag attributes or between <cfoutput> tags. But in html, the # is used such as in css settings for colour. As a result, we get problems like these:  In this example above, the # is used properly, and is part of standard html that is not parsed by the CF server. Adding a second # tricks CF Builder into thinking that the # has been escaped:  But this is wrong and will cause problems because the final html code that is sent to the end user's browser will contain two #s. The only way to fix the problem is additional CF code:​​​​But this is an inefficient way of handling things. We shouldn't need to nest html tags within <cfout

my linter thinks there is an invalid token here, but there isn’tTL;DR: The red squiggle underline is caused, in some way, by the CF Builder extension. It’s wrong, the code and the file are fine, and I want it to go away. Anyone know how to make it go away?Details:I installed this extension a few weeks ago, and I didn’t notice (or I ignored) it at the time, but I started getting these red-squiggle notifications on *some* javascript / JSON files. I finally tried narrowing down the problem today, and after blaming it on eslint for a little while, and/or various rules in my project’s `eslintrc.json` file, I disabled all extensions and the error went away.So I used vsCode’s “Extension Bisector” to find the culprit. I didn’t know this existed till today. Basically it starts by disabling all extensions and reloading your window, and asks you if you can reproduce the problem. You say yes/no, and then it reloads again with some extensions enabled. You repeat the process several times until fina

I tried to submit a trouble-ticket on the tracker.adobe.com, but I’m getting a 500 error.  Yay.Does anyone have any information on ColdFusion 2023 Enterprise and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable? This specific redistributable has reached End of Life (EOL) and is no longer supported or patched by Microsoft.  Utilizing EOL software directly violates Risk Management Framework (RMF) and Department of Navy cybersecurity requirements.  This outdated dependency unnecessarily increases the system’s attack surface area.
