ColdFusion

Anyone here have any idea about how session replication communication works between CF cluster members? We just upgraded a site from CF11 to CF2021. Session replication was working in CF11. We believe we've configured it the same way in CF2021, but replication is not working. Stopping one of the two instances in our clusters results in a loss of the sticky sessions that were being routed to that instance. What I expect to happen is that if a session is bound to instance 1, and I turn off instance 1, the session is seamlessly resumed on instance 2. But instead, the session is lost and the user must log in again. The cluster has been configured using the Enterprise Manager, and Sticky Sessions and Session Replication are both enabled.I compared the server.xml files from my CF11 and CF2021 setups and I found two differences CF2021 is missing the following from its <Cluster> tag:1. <Manager notifyListenersOnReplication="true" expireSessionsOnShutdown="false" className="o

Good morning,      I have a centOS 7 server, running ColdFusion 2018 Enterprise, using Apache and using Plesk Obsidian.   I am having an issue navigating to my login page when my coldfusion files are in a certain diretory, httpdocs.  In plesk, when I create a domain, and then a subdomain and place my files in the root of the subdomain, I have no issues getting to my login page, directory: var/www/vhosts/example.com/utexample.example.com.  However, when I create a single domain, place my cfm files in the httpdocs folder within the domain created (var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs), I get an error when attempting to navigate to the website: coldfusion.runtime.TemplateNotFoundException: File not found: /loginform.cfmWorking web application: r1gup.egtyctest.comErroring out web application: utgup2.egtyctest.comI have checked all folder permissions and everything seems fine on that end.  I do have a custom server.xml file that I am using wi

We host a CF app for a department that has an image and information display on the page. The use Ajax via JS to update the image without having to re-post the entire page. On Chrome or Edge Chromium the "image" flashes each time the ajax call is made to refresh the content. It does not do this in FF. The content refreshes every 3 seconds. You can see the time in the upper right hand corner It does this on the Dev server as well.Both are Windows Server 2016Prod is CF2021 EnterpriseDev is CF2018 EnterpriseLink for the two videos with the page simplified for demonstration purposes.Chrome w/flashing: https://youtu.be/UgpUneYlb2EFF w/out flashing:  https://youtu.be/n4qbZ3zzGGc Thoughts on how to resolve the rendering flash?

Hi! I'm reviving an application from nearly 20 years ago. In going through the CFML, I find that I created several queries within the Access database that I used at the time, and I used them, programatically, like tables. I have little knowledge about stored procedures, but my guess is that if I used the old query to create a stored procedure in the MySQL database, I could access it through my CFML the same way I did previously. That is, treating it like a table within CFML queries. I'd like to use the following code (calling AllRecordsUnion) in my new site without modification:   <CFQUERY DATASOURCE="county" NAME="list_links_county"> SELECT Links.APPROVE, Links.TYPE_DESC, Links.MAIN_NBR, Links.BEFOR, Links.LINK, Links.LINK_DISPL, Links.AFTER, Links.DESCRIP, Links.MUSIC, Links.SLOW, Links.ADDED, Links.LINK_DISPL, AllRecordsUnion.CNTY_NAME, AllRecordsUnion.LINK_RECORD FROM Links INNER JOIN AllRecordsUnion ON Links.RECORD = AllRecordsUnion.LINK_RECORD ORDER

Is it possible to produce the male and female symbols in a coldfusion report?

Hello,I'm using ColdFusion Standard 11,0,05,293506 on Windows Server 2012. I get the following error message when trying to connect to a specific site over HTTPS using CFHTTP:I/O Exception: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested targetI followed a suggestion found elsewhere, where I imported the certificate into the cacerts store and that works....for one day. I've been working on this for 3 days and every day I'm back to that same error until I re-import the certificate. The certificate is supposed to be valid from 2/1/15 - 2/1/17, so I have no idea what's going on here. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.As an aside, I'm trying to do Azure AD authentication using oAuth 2.0. I tried the new CFOAUTH tag and it worked great with Facebook, but errors out on the Access Token portion with Azure AD (retrieves the Authorization Code just fine t

Just installed CF2018 server on top of IIS on Windows 10 Pro. Prior to CF install, I browsed to a page locally called test.cfm. IIS didn't know what to do with the <CFOUTPUT> tags, it just displayed them as #VariableName#. After I installed CFServer, I browsed to the same page again, and IIS should have seen the <CFOUTPUT> tag and passed it across to CF for processing, but it didn't seem to.  It just displayed it the same as before, displaying #VariableName# instead of the contents of that VariableName.  It looks almost as if CF hasn't been installed at all.  What have I done wrong? CheersRoy.

If we already have the zip install, and from CFPM we run "install all", is that the same as if we downloaded the full installer?

Hi all.I recently had a problem with reports created with CFR when I try to open them in Excel with Coldfusion 2018, it has an error"Invalid cell range, having lastRow  firstRow lastCol  firstCol, had rows 12  38 or cells 13 38 null "or "Cannot add merged region B2 E2 to sheet because it overlaps with an existing merged region A1E2 nullThe error occurred on line 1. " apparently there are problems with lines that have overlapping cells this did not happen in CF 2011- 2016 I would like to know if someone has had the same error or if this problem has been corrected in some way.  

Hi all. Help would be very appreciated... I have a requirement to accept a POST parameter that is encrypted using DESede/ECB/PKCS5Padding, and decrypt that param for use in my application.  In attempting to test out this encryption and decryption, the following code was found to work successfully:<cfset theKey = generateSecretKey('DESEDE')> <cfset varString = "Testing"> <cfset encrypted=encrypt(varString, theKey, 'DESEDE','Base64')> <cfset decrypted=decrypt(encrypted, theKey, 'DESEDE','Base64')> <cfdump var="#decrypted#"> Our issue is that in the test above the key value produced appears to be plain text, but the key that we are receiving from our data sender is in a .key file, and which seems to contain binary data. Can anyone tell me how a .key file might be used to decrypt a desede encrypted file?

Hi, So I went to https://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/download-trial/try.htmlI downloaded the Linux version of it. It downloaded a file called ColdFusion_2018_APIManager_WWEJ_linux64.binthen I ran ./[downloaded_installer_name].binThis installed stuff in my /opt/coldfusionaddonservices  There I have  Adobe_ColdFusion_2021_Add-on_Services_Install_04_29_2021_19_01_02.log*cf_app.ico*cfjetty*etc/exampleAnalysis/example-DIH/exampledocs/jre/lib/logs/modules/notice.txt*resources/solr/start.ini*start.jar*webapps/work/  1. Did I installed it correctly?2. How Do I start it now?

I have installed ColdFusion 2021 on a test server and am working through my web apps to find any issues. I discovered that whenever I try to instantiate a .NET class using cfobject, I receive an error. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the dotnet package, but that has not resolved the issue. All CF packages are installed and the "ColdFusion 2021 .NET Service" is running. Here is test code that works fine on my CF2016 servers, but fails on CF2021:<cfobject type=".NET" class= "System.IO.Directory" name="fso"> <cfset cwd = fso.getCurrentDirectory()> <cfdump var = "#fso#"><cfdump var = "#cwd#">Here is the error message I receive:DotNetExtension not installed. If a dll is specified in the assembly list, DotNetExtension must also be installed. Also of note, nothing is being created in the wwwroot\WEB-INF\cfclasses\dotNetProxy folder on the new server like it is on the old server. Folder rights on that dotNetProxy folder appear to be the same between

I have been trying all day to get RDS working, so that I can run the Security Analyzer.I've gotten over several hurdles (CFIDE was blocked, IIS wouldn't handle requests for files that don't exist, a few other things, all resulting in 404 errors). So now that I'm not getting a 404, I feel like I must be close.  But I don't know what's wrong.All I get when testing the connection is 'The HTTP request to talk to your server returned with the following message: For input string: "" 'I am using an SSL connection, but when I enable regular HTTP traffic, and don't use SSL, I get the exact same thing, so I'm fairly sure it doesn't matter.

I have ColdFusion 11 U4 running as a Amazon EC2 instance from Adobe's Windows AMI.I am trying to connect via ColdFusion Builder 3 (mine) and ColdFusion Studio (client's). At first I got the dreaded 404 error, so I added in /CFIDE/main/ide.cfm as an empty file so IIS would find it.Now the error has changed to: 'Unable to contact the RDS Server... For input string: ""' in CF Builder.In ColdFusion Studio the error was "server operation failure". After debugging was turned off it changed to "unhandled error, use logging enabled clients if possible."I had HTTP filter restrictions in place for CFIDE directory stuff, but removed all that, no change. I have also tried all three options for user authentication for RDS.I also tried it on my local machine but after I resolved the 404 error I get a 405 error for method not allowed. So that's no help either.Here's the settings:Description: {client name}Host name: {IP Address}Port Number: 80Timeout: 30sContext Root: emptyUser Name: {user name}Passwo

I am getting the following messages after applying cf 2016 update 17:Invalid attribute value cf_sql_int for attribute CFSQLType  any ideas?

Currently my cfhttp process works for the API I am calling on CF10 Enterprise version running on Windows Server 2008R2 but, on my CF2018 editon it will run once (sometimes) and then fail every call after that. I applied update 10 when I first noticed the issue to see if that may help but it did not and I recently applied Update 11 with same results. I am running ColdFusion 2018 Enterprise Version: 2018.0.11.326016 on Windows Server 2016 Standard. I then did as BKBK recommended in another post and installed latest Java from http://adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html which was 11.0.10 and pointed my jvm.config to the new Java home directory. When I dump out value for the version using <cfdump var="#server.system.properties.java.version#"> just to make sure, it does indeed show "11.0.10+8-LTS-162" is being used. I restarted both the server and ColdFusion service and still get this issue: Another thing I tried was importing the SSL cert

How can I set the "com.sun.jndi.ldap.read.timeout" value, or otherwise get a CFLDAP call to properly timeout. I have an Active Directory (AD) server that I'm making CFLDAP calls to.   Randomly the calls will hang for approximately 900 seconds.  The AD server admins say they don't see any issues on their end, but the 900 seconds does correspond to a default MaxConnIdleTime setting on the AD server.   In FusionReactor it will show that it's stuck on "java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0" This page matches with the issue I'm seeing:  java.net.socketinputstream.socketread0 Problem patterns  According to the various pages I've found on this issue I need to set the "com.sun.jndi.ldap.read.timeout" value.   I've tried setting this in the jvm.config, but I found web pages that say you can't set it there.  That it needs to be set in the jndi.properties file.  All of the web pages I find for ColdFusion and jndi.properties ar

Hi,While using CFINDEX to index the content of files with SOLR, I keep occasionally get this excpetion when indexing PDFs:coldfusion.pdf.PDFDocException: PDFDoc Exception <p/> Created on Sep 12, 2006. I am not getting any other indication of what is actually causing the exception and I can not yet find a pattern in the PDFs that this is happening with.  It is not all PDFs or even most - it only occurs occasionaly. Any ideas?  We are currently on:Server ProductColdFusionVersion2016,0,13,316217EditionEnterprise  Operating SystemUNIX Thanks for any help.

I've installed the CF 2021 developer edition on my machine which uses apache tomcat.  I then followed the guide below under the "Configure IIS for ColdFusion in Windows" section:https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/user-guide.html/coldfusion/installing/configuring-your-system.ug.html  My site now appears to be using IIS.  I can browse to it under localhost and access cfm pages under my CF installation directory.  If I stop the IIS site, then my site is no longer available.  My question is where can I place a web.config file to make configuration changes to the site or is this even possible?  Putting a web.config file in the IIS wwwroot or the CF installation wwwroot seems to do nothing to the configuration.  For example I tried to restrict access to anonymous users in this web.config file and all users still had access.  If I restrict anonymous users in IIS management console, then it does work.

I've created a rest API in ColdFusion 2016.  The first time a request is made to the API in the morning will generate an error:Application (myapp) could not be found. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: ''All subsequent requests to the API go through without errors after that.  Any idea why I am getting this error?

It would be great if smb from CFdev team can help find us how to add to debuggin EVENTs - some information. instead of phrase"COMLEX VALUE" -to show a dump of the argument( at least for structure and arrays)
