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

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
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
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
Hi everyone,I have been using the Adobe mobile ecosystem for a while now, but lately, I have been hitting some performance walls on my Android device. The official app from the Play Store seems to be lagging quite a bit, especially when handling larger files.I was researching some optimized mobile solutions and came across this regarding stable builds for mid-range hardware.Before I try a different version or an older build, I wanted to ask the community: Has anyone else experienced high CPU usage with the latest mobile update? Or does anyone have tips on how to keep the app lightweight without losing the cloud sync features?I really want to stick with the Adobe workflow, but I need a version that actually runs smoothly on my hardware. Any advice would be appreciated!Best regards,james
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.

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.
Hello everybody!I am working on removing all my inline JS codes. As an exapmle I've created a simple coldfusion (CF) template with a button. In a separate javascript file I define the function which is called when the button is pressed.

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!
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.
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.
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?
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
