I am a novice ColdFusion user. I am trying to display results taken from an Access database to a CF form in which users can update their responses and then re-submit. Some of the fields displayed can be responsed in one line such as #1 below (which is correct).However, I need to code how to display results to a bigger TextArea field such as #2 below which is not coded correct. How should #2 be re-written so that it can be displayed? #1<tr><td width="20%" height="25"><b><font size="3" color="#FFFFFF">Kids-Ages<br></font></b></td><td width="54%" height="25"><input type="text" name="Kids" value="<cfoutput>#Query1.Kids#</cfoutput>" size="40" maxlength="40"></td></tr>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------#2<tr><td width="20%" height="25"><b><font size="3" color="#FFFFFF">Grandchildren<br></font></b></td>&l

I am trying to migrate Coldfusion from 2016 to 2023. I have followed the migration guide and stopped the CF 2016 service and installed the 2023 release. After installation and migration from 2016, when I review the IIS websites I have on the server, I am getting the following error: The service is unavailable.Service Temporarily Unavailable!The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.Tomcat/ISAPI/isapi_redirector/1.2.46 Then when I look at the coldfusion-error.log file, I can see the following:INFO: The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows using OpenSSL was not found on the java.library.path: [C:\ColdFusion2023\cfusion\lib;C:\ColdFusion2023\cfusion\jintegra\bin;C:\ColdFusion2023\cfusion\jintegra\bin\international;C:\\ColdFusion2023\\jre\bin] Can anyone tell me what I have wrong that is causing the websites to not start working under CF 2023? Looks like a mapping or config issu

I'm attending CF Summit 2023 and I decided to download CF 2023 trial/developer edition with the intent of using a server instance with CF Builder (already installed) on my laptop running Windows 10 Pro. I've previously installed CF 2021 server. I've run into a several problems:Clicking or extracting the zip file did not initiate the install process.I could not find any file to kick off the installation process...but after researching...I attempted to run the \bin\cfinstall.bat, but this did not work (splash screen displays briefly then vanishes).I finally ran the cfinstall.bat from the command prompt (as administrator!!) and it seemed to work but I missed the step to create windows services.I ran the cfinstall.bat (again) but this seemed to create some kind of duplicate install (with NO option to create windows services).I tried running \bin\cfstart.bat from the command prompt and this displays a plethora of error messages related to duplicate objects, missing packages...scary stu

Hi,  Our IT department removed our browser on our ColdFusion server. Is it still possible to migrate CF 2018 to CF 2023 without a browser on the app server? Our IT team told us to "remote in." Is that possible? 

Migrating an old application from CF10 to CF2018 and running into problems.  The application uses a set of Java classes (which are on JAR files in the WEB-INF/lib directory).  Everything worked on the CF10 version, but after clearing up some issues (missing javax.xml.bind - downloaded and included that in the /lib directory to fix that), I am currently getting the following error:Sep 25, 2023 10:55:25 AM defapp defmod SEVERE: Error requesting token: invalid_request=javax.ws.rs.ProcessingException: org.apache.cxf.BusException: No conduit initiator was found for the namespace http://cxf.apache.org/transports/http.

My VS Code extension is functioning OK, but recently I have noticed that as I type each character or move the mouse focus, errors are streamed to the output window under Adobe-CFML Language.It is not the end of the world, but I don't understand it and would like to address it.What is the last thing I changed in my VS Code environment. Probably the monthly VS Code version auto-update. And before that I think I installed a Python extension ot play around with.Has anyone seen this before?Do you have a way to address it?Will dropping re-installing the extension help? I'd hate to lose everything about my workspace.[Error - 11:58:37 AM] Request textDocument/documentSymbol failed. Message: Internal error.

I am using CFHTTP to test for broken links. For some reason all youtube links return 408 Request Time-out error. Simply increasing the timeout value does not make any difference. Some other servers show the same behaviour. Is there anything I can do to make it correctly detect if the link is OK? Maybe it requires a specific header to be sent with the request? Here is the function I use:<cffunction name="checkLink" access="remote" returnType="struct" returnFormat="json" output="no"> <cfargument name="link" type="string"> <cfset ret = structNew()> <cfhttp url="#link#" method="head" timeout="1"> <cfset ret["code"] = cfhttp.statusCode> <cfset ret["detail"] = cfhttp.errorDetail> <cfreturn ret> </cffunction> These are some of the links that return the error:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63Jl3GDSd0Mhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dC1UNXZ6FsThank you!

Hi,I have an application which is dockerized and uses Nginx server. How do I map the root directory of the project to point at a URL localhost:8500/app and the rest of the folders such as CFIDE and cf_scripts to localhost:8500/app/CFIDE and localhost:8500/app/cf_scripts.Thanks in advance!

(fyi:  This was all created by a predicessor). I have a simple intranet page that displays data pulled from a database and allows the user to delete individual entries, with a single click.  The sql delete requires UnitNumber and FleetGroup to identify the unique record.  My issue is that the CFDfg variable is truncating to 10 characters, despite the values being as long as 50 characters.  How do I get ColdFusion to pass the full FleetGroup value to MS SQL?  I ran SQL Server Profiler, which is how I know it is only getting 10 charcters of the FleetGroup value. Here is the delete code.=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<table width="45%" align="center" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><td colspan="6" align="center" valign="top" nowrap><a href="/DataManager/TMReadiness.cfm?        CFAdded=AddATruck">Add A Truck</a></td><tr class="style6"><td widt

When a page is succefully cached coldfusion returns the cached html with a comment line occupying the first line. If the doctype isn't the first thing IE finds in the document it displays the page in Quirks mode, which makes it nearly impossible to use CSS consistantly between browsers. Does anyone have a solution/work around to this caching issue? Running MX 7 on windows 2k3.

We "randomly" started experiencing intermittent performance issues on PDF generation.  No changes were made to the code or ColdFusion configurations.  We are on CF 2021 Update 9.  When performance issues start all PDF functionality is slow but all other non-PDF generating actions appear to be fine.  During performance issues, we are getting various error messages ranging from document timeout issues, image files not found, and cfcontent erroring out on deleting file with following message: "Check if another request or process is not using the file.".  Not sure if it just noise but I also see this in event viewer:   

Dear Team, We are using ADOBE CF 10 and we want to know if  its support to upgrade to CF 2023 versoin or CF 2021. 

Hello, I am curious if anyone else has encountered a problem where ColdFusion 2023 looks to <CFHOME>\wwwroot instead of an SMB file share or fails to load a file from an SMB share? We are running multiple CF instances and this happens to both instances at the same time. We have found "Tomcat is down or network problems. Part of the response has already been sent to the client" errors  the isapi_redirect.log starting at the same time in both CF instances connectors. When our servers are under load our IIS worker threads will periodically use all CPU, fail IIS application pool pings, recycle and then be fine. I cannot find anything in the logs other than errors in the application.log file in the CF instances saying it was looking into the wwwroot folder or it couldn't find the file on the SMB share. Along with this the isapi_ Looking at the httperr logs in our servers we find client_reset and queue_filled errors when this happens and seems reminicient of this se

I have entered 127.0.0.1 in Mail server, CF admin. But I'm still getting the ''No SMTP server specified for the cfmail tag. To send SMTP mail messages, you must specify a default SMTP server. You can set the default SMTP server using the Mail page of the ColdFusion Administrator. Alternatively, you can ensure that all cfmail tags have a server attribute. In this case, neither the server attribute nor the default SMTP server setting are specified. "  Please help. 

Hello, Adobe Support told me to come here... I have signed up for the Adobe Coldfusion Specialist course. This was done via work with the expectation that I would have the certification in the end. I was able to complete the couse itself; however, no test information was provided after the signup process. Anyone have any guidance here?

I have a page that doesn't have a fully functional SSO process. It only receives a SAML assertion and processes a login. After an upgrade to CF 2023, the processing takes 30 seconds. On CF 2018 it was 2-3 seconds. I created a test page that simply dumps the assertion. Just the dump (no other processing) also takes 30 seconds. I tried sending the test page a field of plain text that was equal in length to the assertion, and it dumped in 2-3 seconds. Any ideas as to what could cause this slowness only with the SAML assertion?

I had to re-install my CF2018 service (long story) and now the Add-on Services service won't start.

ColdFusion pre-compiles all code when cache is turned on. It also places a comment (<!--- servername/index.cfm---> ) on the first line of the page when cache is on. !DOCTYPE...> no longer works since it is now on the second line. This causes the !DOCTYPE to NOT be in Standard mode. How can I remove the comment line so the !DOCTYPE is the first line?

I ran the CF Auto Lockdown Tool after a new installation of CF 2023 on a Windows 2022 server. Things have stopped working and I can't figure out why. I followed almost all of the prerequisites before running; the only one I didn't follow was the recommendation to put CF on its own drive. I can't do that in this case. I haven't proceeded with the lockdown guide after the part where I ran the auto lockdown tool.The CF Admin seems to work just fine. And the public-facing site works to some extent but hits errors on certain pages. The errors are cryptic to me. Some examples are:- Sep 25, 2023 3:07:45 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext setPathWARNING: A context path must either be an empty string or start with a '/' and do not end with a '/'.

I want to set up the ability for a file to be downloaded and then immediately delete the file, so that it cn only be downloaded once.
