ColdFusion

We are running CF2021 2021,0,04,330004 on Centos 7.9.I jsut started noticing extra character in the subject line. I'm not sure where its coming from, I tried to use all combinations of cfmail - script and tag, with subject being a variable and hard coded string. I added the utf-8 to the cfmail without any change. cfmail( to = "me@example.com", from = "them@example.com", subject = "Example email" ) { WriteOutput("test") } savecontent variable="local.mailBody" { writeDump(now()); }; variables._mailto = "me@example.com"; variables._mailfrom = "them@example.com"; variables._mailsubj = "Example Email"; local.mailService = new mail( to = variables._mailto, from = variables._mailfrom, //subject = variables._mailsubj, subject = "Example Email", body = local.mailBody, type = 'html' ); local.mailService.send(); mailerService = new mail(); /* set mail attributes using implicit setters provided */ mailerService.setTo("me@example.com"); mailerService.setFr

I am not sure if anyone is old enough to remember Coldfusion 9? I need to come up with a tactical plan to remediate a security issue with an enteprise app using Coldfusion 9, wrapped in .Net running on Server 2008.Have a strategic plan however need to buy 24 months for it to be in place and the tactical is to try and re-deploy it to server 2012 or 2016 with as little code work as possible.I understand that only 2008 is supported for CF9 however has anyone tried deploying it to Server 2012 onwards? What issues are encountered? Any help would be appreciated.

After applying update 16 to our Coldfusion (2018 release) server, the remains available externally but CF Admin is inaccessible, with a "The Cron service is not available" error.  Looking through other threads, I checked neo-cron.xml and does not appear to be corrupted, and I tried replacing it with the pre-update file with no result. Uninstalling the update returns CF Admin to an accessible state. Error text is:The Cron service is not available.This exception is usually caused by service startup failure.

CF:2016 | IIS10 I know this is a little more of an IIS question, but wondering if anybody can advise I need to put keywords into a URL without using actual variables and then redirect and collect the keyword Example:https://SomeWebSite/discount1 The folder discount1 does not exist and that is the keyword I need to detect on a CFM page. I guess I could set up a redirect on 404 errors, to go to a CFM page, and then use CFM to pick up the refer information and then find the word in the URL. After typing this I tried it out using a redirect in IIS for 404 errors, setting it to removed with a 302 redirect to an absolute URL, a CFM page. In the CFM page I displayed the HTTP_REFERER only to see that it was blank, so it's not passed on and therefore I can't extract the discount1 at the end of the URL I'm wondering if anybody knows how to retain the original URL or how I should do it so that it actually works. Thanks  

Hi , Can you please help me with this error mentioned below : The description for Event ID 4 from source ColdFusion 11 Application Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.The following information was included with the event:ColdFusion 11 Application Serverthe message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table

Just restricting CFExecute and CFRegistry for now in the website and custom tags directory. All datasources are allowed, and nothing else is restricted. When using names for datasources (which works Sandbox Security unchecked), I get the following upon restart: Error [ajp-nio-127.0.0.1-8018-exec-1] - Error Executing Database Query.'' This is on localhosts with Windows 11. One Windows 10 localhost appears to work fine with server names in the datasources, although there might be something else going on with that setup that isn't obvious. The most I could track down with this is that it appears that Java Security Manager takes over database connections once Sandbox Security is enabled. Maybe Java Security Manager just allows IPs? I couldn't find anything related to that. I don't want to apply this on our live server without understanding why only IPs work, if this is the case, or if something more serious is set up incorrectly with our servers. Any help on t

Hi all, I need to create a timestamp of difference in milliseconds between the date and time now and 00:00:00 01/01/1970. I am currently using: <cfset timeStamp = dateDiff("s", createDateTime(1970,01,01,00,00,00), REQUEST.dateTimeNow)*1000> but that gives me a value of 1.170170719E+012; however I require a string containing 13 numeric characters. Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Paul

I am running Coldfusion 2018 on my Windows 11 machine as my local development environment.  I use Coldfusion Builder 2018.  I have been unable to get debugging to work.  Yesterday I tried to set it up.  I access the Coldfusion administrator on 127.0.0.1:8500 and run my local instance of my web site on https://localhost.In the Coldfusion administrator I went to the debug page and told it to use 127.0.0.1 and I think I entered in the default port (5005? 8005?).Since then I am unable to access the Coldfusion administrator to undo what I have wrought and my local instance of the coldfusion app won't run.  In both cases the page load indicator spins and spins continuously until I stop the page.I can't find Apache or Tomcat in my processes running under Windows.  I think I did see the apache server in the RDS window.  The stop and start didn't work and I deleted the server hoping that would help, but no.I don't really know what's wrong but I think it is col

Hello,I am trying to send out signed emails with an S/MIME signature through CFMAIL, and I have been able to get it working. However, when the emails are received in Outlook, the signature is flagged as invalid. On other mail clients, such as the Apple Mail App, the signature is flagged as valid. What's more, after inspecting the certificate / signature in Outlook, the signature is suddenly valid and any incoming messages with this signature are no longer flagged (See attached image. After clicking the Button marked Red, the Cert becomes valid). I have tested this on many different versions of CF from 11 to 2021 with the same result. I have also tried converting the signature to other formats, such as .jks. I imported the certificates used into different mail clients such as Thunderbird and Outlook to test if the certificates are really invalid. However, when sending emails directly from these mail clients and signing them, I did not get any messages that the certificates wer

 I am outputting the results of a query that shows the person who are scheduled to come to work, the date that they are working, the times that they should be in, and the shift number. I am having difficulties trying to highlight the upcoming day if that day is within seven days of the current date. The conditional code that I am using either highlights all the dates or doesn’t highlight. Any dates at all. I know that there is a way to do it.

Hello. It seems that to be able to view variables when debugging, I have to turn on Enable Request Debugging Output, which causes a whole bunch of information to be appended to the returned HTML.If a whole bunch of HTML is returned in each response, the application I'm debugging doesn't really work, as it expects a certain kind of output (basic strings or xml) and the extra HTML messes that up. How can I view variables while debugging, but not get all of that extra HTML that breaks the application?

Do you have to configure the Coldfusion server to use SMS or is it built it. I am on a shared hosting service with Coldfusion and I am not sure if the owner has config'd his server to use SMS (if it needs to). Is there a way to test this? I am very interested in building SMS into my system but am just begining to learn more about it. Also, other than the live docs, anyone know a good source to learn more about SMS & Coldfusion? -- Wally Kolcz Developer / Support

I have an app where users can upload files that get attached to an email message. Whenever the file size exceeds 7Mb in my testing, the mail fails, goes into the Undelivr directory and the mail.log shows:"IOException while sending message." The exception.log shows: "javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message; nested exception is: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: socket write error" The file was successfully uploaded and exists as specified on the cfmailparam tag. Any ideas?

Hi, Approximately one week ago we had an issue with one of our ColdFusion 2018 servers (something along the lines of "could not process Application.cfc"), which required a restart of both instances running on the server. I am not sure if this part is relevant but when restarted the first instance came back fine, while the second would not start for approximately 10 minutes (it took I think three separate service "start" attempts before it eventually came back online). Prior to the restart we had consistent memory ussage on both instances of ~10-12% (average daily), while it has now been in the 25-40% daily average range for the last week according to FusionReactor. While there were minor changes to three cfm/cfc files on the same day, I don't believe they were anything that would explain this increase. Other metrics like CPU usage appear to be consistent with what they were previously. Both instances have a minimum JVM heap size of 256MB, and a maximum of 5120MB. The ser

There is a custom code that create objects of a cfc (with almost 56 level of inheritance) using create object function, apparently its taking almost 10 to 13 mins to complete and causing the request to time out. We are using the JRE inside the Coldfusion 2021 with Java 11. The same code works fine with 2016 and Java 1.8 with almost 7 mins Are there any limitation for level of inheritance when creating object with 2021 or anything to do with Java 11 with CF 2021 Any help will be much appreciated
