Our server has gone down and the Coldfusion 8 service will not start.  There is no information in any of the logs for anything today since its gone down.  Ive checked the root logs directory as well as the runtime logs directory.The server.log is the only file being updated and it shows "Starting logging..." and then "Starting license..." and hangs.  The service does not start and the log gets nothing more after this point.  Memory continues to go up slowly, we've increased the start timeout tremendously with no effect.  There is little to no CPU usage.Our server is licensed and has never had this problem before.  It is the standard version.Our server is completely down and we are losing clients.  From what we can tell a windows update occurred, which we have since removed in case it was the issue, and when the server restarted CF did not come back.  We have been working on this for hours with no results.Please help and let me know anything you m

HelloAfter creating a new form in Adobe LiveCycle ES2 from a blank template, ColdFusion 10 returns errors. When tring to perform a cfpdfform action=read on the pdf form, Coldfusion returns "String out of range". Using the same document, tring to pre-load the form fields in the PDF using the cfpdfform action=populate, I get the message from CF10 "Premature end of file". I'm not sure why this is happening. I have added the attribute overwrite="yes" as per a bug in version 8, but no luck. I have tried using a different PDF created from a template in ES2 with no luck. I can dump the values returned to CF from the PDF I created form using cfdump tag. I've even tried the sub-form attributes. I think there may be an issue reading the PDF form attributes from the source document, but I cannot verify as CF returns the error message. Any suggestions would be helpful.Thanks, JK

Hi everyone,       I have set up a blog page on our site. I created an Add Blog page for engineers to enter the blog info. They choose who to send the info. in an email to have it approved. When the approver receives the email, there is a link they can click on to edit that blog info. When they click update, it approves the blog entry just entered and displays it on the Blog page. I also set up a login page that the engineers and approvers must log into before they can get to the add blog page or edit blog page. I have this working fine to get to the add blog page, but I'm having problems with the edit page. How can I get the link in the email to work correctly to get to the edit page, but having to login first? I've set this code on the add and edit pages:<cfset MyHost = CGI.Server_Name><CFIF CGI.HTTP_Referer does not contain "#MyHost#"><cflocation url="../Blog_Login/login.cfm" addtoken="No"></CFIF>    This code will

Hi all,We have been using cftransaction on our transaction process page where we need to do multiple insert queries to save transaction data.  If there is no error, we commit the transaction.  Once in a while though, we get the error message "Transaction was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction."  We are on SQL Server 2005.What I understand from that error message is that there are multiple transactions trying to access the same tables at the same time.  Implicitly, one transaction has locked the tables while it is inserting data, and other transactions are not able to access them. Now I don't fully understand cftransaction beyond its commit / rollback functionality.  I never quite understood the isolationLevel attribute of cftransaction.  I have read a number of descriptions, but the terms dirty read, phantom data, nonrepeatable reads are still confusing to me.  What I do

Adobe JRun will no longer be available for purchase post April 2013.

I'm helping a colleague with a web app that is basically a database of links to documents that are scattered around our website.  It's meant to be a way to search for documents using various criteria without having to browse the entire site.The data is organized into categories (known as disciplines) and subcategories (known as subdisciplines) as well as a few other parameters.  I'm helping to get the database normalized, but one of the things I want to do is make the search form reflect the current database contents.Currently, a web form with a few <select> items is used, and some Javascript makes the subdisciplines <select> dependent on what's selected in the disciplines <select> box. Thus, anytime a new one of either of those two items is added, the JS needs to be edited.  I'd like to make this automatic, so I'm trying to use bind to do it.Right now I have the following form:<cfform name="fectchdocs" action="#CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#" method="post">&lt

Hi Guys,i have to add some <cfmailparam> in my mail like below:<cfmail    to="#variables.mailto#"    from="#FORM.email#"    subject="#FORM.subject#"    type="text/plain">......<cfmailparam name = "X-IS-CUSTFIRSTNAME" value = "#FORM.first_name#"></cfmail>the content of FORM.first_name is in russian so i get this parameter in IBM Notes as "???" i have tried to add the charset in the <cfmail> but it takes no effect.is there a way to deal with this problem. i tried other character like chinese and janpanese both showing as "???"but the same content which be displayed in the mail content is correct.any information is appreciate.Regards,Julian

I've been reading up on CF10's applicationStop() function and something simply isn't clicking as after I use it I get an error that states:APPLICATION '' DOES NOT EXIST.And after I remove the code and run the page again, the dump I have shows the old APPLICATION's information (one of the variables in the structure is a 'dateInitialized' which sets the current date into it when the application starts, and it's showing an old date)I put this code in the APPLICATION.cfc constructor area so that it runs at the beginning of the page load.I'm assuming my issue here is partly due to where I'm putting the code, but Adobe's page on applicationStop() is not specific as to this.

LET'S SAY I HAVE 2 FOLDERS...Framework Components - Holds components that are used across multiple web applications which are setup to use the framework.Application Components - Holds components designed for specific web applications (not global in it's functions)In short, think of owning a Pizza store and a Burger store.  A method called "OrderIngredients" would exist in the "Framework Components" folder, because both stores (web apps) would utilize it.  However, the function "MakePizzaSlices" would be in the "Application Components" folder of the Pizza web app only, since there's no need for it to be in other web apps (that don't make pizza)So here's the thing.  The FW COMS folder has about 12 coms, totaling about 542KB of code.  The APP COMS folder (for this particular app) has 4 files totaling 88KB.SO HERE'S MY QUESTION...Performance-wise, have you found it better to just instantiate everything into the APPLICATION scope onApplicationStart so that code can refer

Hello all,This is a strange one, and in all the years I've been using CF (since beta) I haven't run across it.. but I'll give it a whirl here.I have a server with 3 databases/datasources on it.   Each are for their own web site.All three are MS Access databases (quit laughing).One of those databases does NOT have a username/password set up on it,  and it works perfectly.Two of them DO have username/passwords set up on them,  and they have been giving 'cannot connect to database' errors over the past week now.The problem isn't in the coding,  or in the CF setup itself, because they work fine for a couple days.. then suddenly they stop working.Since the only real difference between the 'working' and 'non-working' datasources is that the one's that don't work have username/passwords set up,  could that be causing the problem?I'm not sure what would cause it..  kind of 'grasping at straws' at this point.   My sites are hosted on a 3rd party host

I have a new application where users will be uploading graphics for display on their customized page.   The issue is the graphics are sometimes massive and are almost never cropped nor cented for use on their page.   Is there a way to handle this?  Running Coldfusion 10 with Msft SQL Server 2008.Thanks - NC Beach Bum

Hi folksToday installed CF10 Standard edition on a server that had been using CF7.  Figured it was time to get current.  This server is running Win2003/32bit and IIS 6.  Anyway, after configuring CF10, if I access a few of my sites using just the URL without "/index.cfm", I get the following IIS error:Page Cannot be displayed:HTTP Error 403.1 - Forbidden: Execute access is denied.Internet Information Services (IIS)Now, if I include "/index.cfm" all seems to work fine and I can login/navigate my site fine.  I've confirmed that index.cfm is in my default documents panel in IIS6 and I've even run the remove_ALL_connectors.bat and then reconfigured them and still no luck.  The same ones that worked before, work now.  The ones that didn't, still don't.Now full disclosure, since I read CF10 could live alongside CF8, CF9, I stopped CF7 but left it installed when I installed 10.  Then after 10 seemed to be working fine, I uninstalled CF7.   So that'

Hello,I'm trying to apply the hotfix to our new CF10 server, but the update page says 'no updates were found'.  This also shows when I click the 'check for updates' button.  Could it be b/c i'm behind a corporate firewall?Is there anyway to manually install the hotfix?

Hello - I'm having some trouble getting cffileupload to work.  When users click the 'Upload' button on the object to upload fiels, they encounter a Windows security dialog that prompts them to log in.  Has anyone encountered this?  We're using IE8, and the server is Windows 2008 and IIS 6.  Users to have full permissions to the folder to which they're uploading.  I'm thinking this is an IIS issue.  Thanks very much.

Hi All,Our couldfusion application stopped working a few times last week due to the process "911.exe" which costed 99% CPU. Once we kill that process, everything back to normal again. The problem is process "911.exe" should be in C: root, but we found it in "ColdFusion8\runtime\servers\coldfusion\SERVER-INF\temp\wwwroot-tmp\neotmp56746.tmp" and been recognized as a virus. We kill it, it will appear again and again. Does anyone have the similar problem? How can I fix it? I think this folder "temp\wwwroot-tmp" is used to store chached files, uploaded files. Does that mean someone uploaded some files with the virus?Thanks in advance.Wei
