ColdFusion

Hi,I am receiving the error message: "The getSpMetadataForAdmin method was not found." when I click on an existing SP to edit it. I also get the message when I add a new SP. It adds the SP but then throws the error when try to display it. Adding and editing an IDP is fine. I am on CF 2021 Standard. I upgraded to update 12 from 5 and changed the JVM to 11.0.26 and uninstalled and reinstalled the SAML package to try to fix this but I still get the error. It seems manually modifying the neo-saml.xml file does not work either without restarting CF, but that is still unclear. Has anyone else experienced this or know how I can fix it?Thanks,Dom

This server is running ColdFusion 2021 Update 18. I'm attempting to edit an existing Service provider in the SP Configuration section of the Administrator. the page throws the following error in the Application log:  "Error","http-nio-8544-exec-5","04/17/25","08:40:48","cfadmin","Variable KEYSTOREPATH is undefined. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: F:\ColdFusion2021\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\security\spedit.cfm, line: 487"and a similar error in the coldfusion-out log: "Error","http-nio-8544-exec-5","04/17/25","08:40:48","cfadmin","Variable KEYSTOREPATH is undefined. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: F:\ColdFusion2021\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\security\spedit.cfm, line: 487"When I orginally configured this the keystore entry was present. The configuration works, our developers are able to write code against the SP Config, but editing it is not possible. 

My CF2021 box is failing security because even though I have uninstalled the search module from CFAdmin, Jetty itself is running an old version of SOLR inside Lucene.  Here's how I know this: GET http://server:8993/solr/admin/info/system HTTP/1.1 Under lucene: lucene-impl-version=7.2.1 b2b6438b37073bee1fca40374e85bf91aa457c0b - ubuntu - 2018-01-10 00:48:43 lucene-spec-version=7.2.1 solr-impl-version=7.2.1-SNAPSHOT unknown - Administrator - 2022-07-19 19:20:55 solr-spec-version=7.2.1 Is there a way I can disable lucene?  It looks like it's used for indexing/searching, and I have no use for it.

I recently upgraded from Coldfusion 2021 Update 9 to Update 18. I used the package manager to install the update and now I'm getting the message"The Administrator module is not installed". This wasn't an issue on our test instance, but for whatever reason this happened in our production instance (lucky me). The service seems to be running. I just can't get back to the adminstrator site. I tried running the "install administrator" command on CF_ROOT/bin/cfpm.bat but it gives me the following message: "The package adminstrator is not found in the repository."

Hi,Can anyone recommend a 3rd party which I can hook into my webstore to calculate sales tax based on address? I am currently looking at informatica.com and taxjar.comThanks!- Shawn

Hello all,I have been looking to see if there is an answer to this or a "How To" but haven't found one.We have CF 2021 Update 17 web server up and running.We want to move to 2025Is there a way to do an inplace upgrade?On my test box when I run the 2025 install, it doesn't take notice of CF 2021 being installed and running so it just tries to install another instance of CF.So is it possible to upgrade or "migrate" during install?

After applying CF2021 Update 19, the following three services failed to start:Add-on ServicesODBC AgentODBC ServerI was able to get the add-on working again by reinstalling it, but the ODBC services are no longer working. I even rolled back to update 18 and ODBC services are still failing to start. Any guidance with this would be greatly appreciated.  

I wana download Coldfusion 2018, just In my local dont wana make it into the server.Please provide me download link.Its very Important.....

We are stumped ... we've been creating a CF web site for years.  It works fine on all our coders localhosts and it works fine on a commercial CF hosting server.   We just copied all the code into a rack WE own and it simply will not work.   The errors we're getting are db errors.  Table xxx does not exist yet we can see it on our RDP screen.   We've triple checked our settings in our CF Admin console ...  In 28 year of using CF we've never encountered this.  We have cleared our cache ... rebooted our CF server and db server and it still insists it cannot find a table or a field within a table.  We're using an old version CF 2018.  On locals and at our commercial CF hosts.   What (more) clues can I provide to help us fix this.  We're about to throw the rack in the bin.  Many thanks in advance.  

Let me preface this by saying I run ColdFusion 2021 & 2023 as standalone servers, and I do install patches once released.  I have an established process for acquiring and installing updates manually, which I have no intention of changing.  My question is how do I stop ColdFusion 2021/2023 from trying to connect to the Update Site automatically whenever I go to CF Admin> Package Manager?  When I try to open the Package Manager section within CF Admin, the server tries to reach out multiple times to the update site first.  Each attempt takes about a minute to timeout, so it takes 3-5 minutes to actually load the page.  This is not an exaggeration. Yes, I have "Automatically Check for Updates" unchecked.  And "Check for updates every" unchecked.  Doesn't make any difference.  I've tried blanking out and saving the Default URL for udpates in CF Admin.  When I save, it just restores the default value.  I've also tr

I have downloaded the latest version of the auto-lockdown tool from the adobe website and have the latest CF update/hotfix (13) installed. I have tried running the auto-lockdown tool (for Windows/IIS) several times , following the lockdown guide to the letter. I was able to install this on another server with no issue. I have tried the following multiple times: 1. running tool, uninstalling tool , running tool again2. running tool, uninstalling tool, uninstalling CF, uninstalling IIS, deleting the user created by the tool, clearing partitions, restarting server, reinstalling CF, running tool  Everytime I run the tool, it finishes, but says there are errors. In the installation log, the only thing that looks odd is after it tries to remove the new CF user from all groups - it says "Failed to create the user!", but doesn't specify what user it's trying to create (The new CF User account was already created earlier in the process, so maybe it's an IIS User?): 2025-04-1

Hello, We are using ColdFusion 2023 Standard edition. We have an application which contains a CFCHART that worked when CF 2023 was on Update 6. However, now that we have updated to Update 7, the CFCHART no-longer works and is instead showing a red X. The CFCHART is within a CFSAVECONTENT which is then CFOUTPUTed into a CFDOCUMENT so that a PDF can be created. If I remove the CFSAVECONTENT, the CFCHART does display correctly. The CFCHART is in JPG format, but changing the format does not cause the CFCHART to display, only removing the CFSAVECONTENT. However, I do not want to remove the CFSAVECONTENT because I want the overall PDF format. Please let me know what additional information I can provide to help you help me. Thank you very much for your time, expertise, and help.

Is there any chance this will be updated in the future? I am getting a lot of heat from the security people because the scans keep coming back with log4j vulns.The analytics service is using an old version of elasticsearch that requires log4j-1.2.17.jarDoes anyone know of anyway to not usre the analytics service and still run the API manager or know of any work arounds to use a new elastic search? I know we can remove the jndi classes and put some flags on the JVM but the security folks see the file and thats all they care about.This is the case for both coldfusion 2021 api manager and coldfusion 2023 api managerExample directoryC:\ColdFusion2023APIManager\database\analytics\lib

What are the benefits of migrating from Adobe ColdFusion to Lucee? I hear the migration itself is fairly smooth. Are there other benefits like more hosting availability, cheaper hosting, etc? What are people's experiences and what prompted you to do it? 

Hi All,  After updating my Coldufsion 2021 server to the latest release (18 went from 2021,0,0,323925 to 2021,0,18,330341) to mitigate vulnerabilities CFR reports stopped working and I'm getting the following errors: coldfusion.runtime.report.Report$ReportCompilationException: Report compilation error.at coldfusion.runtime.report.Report.compileXml(Report.java:840)at coldfusion.runtime.report.Report._compileReport(Report.java:281)at coldfusion.runtime.report.Report.compileReport(Report.java:176)at coldfusion.runtime.report.Report.runReport(Report.java:425)at coldfusion.tagext.report.ReportTag.doEndTag(ReportTag.java:626)at cfrpt_insumos_pdf2ecfm955247095.runPage(/app/residente/rpt_insumos_pdf.cfm:14)at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage.invoke(CfJspPage.java:257)at coldfusion.tagext.lang.IncludeTag.handlePageInvoke(IncludeTag.java:749)at coldfusion.tagext.lang.IncludeTag.doStartTag(IncludeTag.java:578)at coldfusion.filter.CfincludeFilter.invoke(CfincludeFilter.java:65

Hello,I am currently working on an S3 integration using ColdFusion, and I'm facing an issue when trying to retrieve all the files from an S3 bucket. I am using the listAll() method, but it seems that it only returns a maximum of 1000 files, and I need to handle cases where there are more than 1000 files in the bucket.I understand that Amazon S3 uses pagination for listing objects, and I need to handle the NextContinuationToken to paginate through the results, but I'm unsure how to implement this correctly in ColdFusion.Has anyone experienced this issue or can offer advice on how to paginate through the list of objects in S3 using ColdFusion to retrieve more than 1000 files?Here is the code I'm currently using:<cfset allObjects = bucket.listAll()>Can someone please guide me on how to modify this to handle pagination when there are more than 1000 objects in the bucket?Thanks in advance!

I have tried 5 different locations and they all redirect to the 2018 download page. I have been going from here https://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html#cf2021productdownloads and it still takes you to the 2018 download.  I was told by Adobe support to post on the forums as they couldn't provide me with a proper link even though marketing emails and your own site are saying it is available for download.

I use CF 2021 release for a long time. After installing the Update 11, when the coldfusion-out.log reaches a certain size, it's archieved as coldfusion-out.1.log but writing logs to default file stops.  All services running properly, all other logs works just fine but out log stops writing untill restarting coldfusion.  As far as I know, I've tested removing cflogging.jar, changing logging directory etc. It's working on Ubuntu 23.04 (GNU/Linux 6.2.0-36-generic x86_64) Anyone facing the same issue or having a solution for that problem?Any help would be appreciated..

I started evaluating CF2025 a couple weeks ago. I set it up to function through IISThe CF app we developed works as expected under HTTP, so we decided to get a SSL cert to make the server "legit" - after installing the SSL cert, CFCHART stopped appearing on the CFM page. Other basic CF content still appears (ie cfoutput), but not CFCHARTWeb searches seem to indicate that this has been an issue since 2006 -- yet still exists today. Suggestions from back then don't work today however, since {a} the setup for IIS is not the same as it used to be back then, and {b} some of the files they reference back then no longer exist either.  Who has the magic fix for this latest version of the long standing bug?

Is Adobe going to continue supporting ColdFusion? I have a potential investor/collaborator who is concerned that we may end up having to rebuild the site in DotNet or something because without Adobe's continued support of the product, security of ColdFusion websites would ultimately suffer. He's read somewhere that Adobe won't continue to support ColdFusion. He might have been reading about ColdFusion Builder. I don't know. What is the latest?

I have a CF page "MemberExpress" like below<cfFORM ACTION="MemberExpressRegActionPage.cfm" method="post">..................<dd><B>My Email:</b><cfINPUT TYPE="text" size="30" name="Email" message="Please enter your email address." required="yes" >...............</cfform> In the page MemberExpressRegActionPage.cfm, I have this like below <CFQUERY NAME="AddAppMemTable" DATASOURCE="MEM">INSERT INTO Members(HandleName, Age, BirthYear, State, CCountry, Email)VALUES('#Form.HandleName#', '#Form.Age#', '#Form.BirthYear#', '#Form.State#', '#Form.CCountry#', '#Form.Email#')</CFQUERY> The page cannot be posted sucessfully with error "An error occurred while executing the application. Please try again or contact the administrator." The issue is I cannot insert '#Form.Email#' value into the database If I remove '#Form.Email#' in page MemberExpressRegActionPage.cfm , I can insert sucesffully without issue.

I'm trying to generate a map of tradespeople nearby to the site visitor. I've figured out most of it and am stuck on the final part mainly due to my weakness when it comes to arrays, structures etc. Apparently, the api needs  an array that looks like:  var locations = [ ['Bondi Beach', -33.890542, 151.274856, 4], ['Coogee Beach', -33.923036, 151.259052, 5], ['Cronulla Beach', -34.028249, 151.157507, 3], ['Manly Beach', -33.80010128657071, 151.28747820854187, 2], ['Maroubra Beach', -33.950198, 151.259302, 1] ]; I'm adapting this for my application, i.e. not Australian beaches but company names. function getNearbyTradies(oArg){ var lat = oArg.lat || ""; var lng = oArg.lng || ""; var tradies = []; $.getJSON("cfcs/user.cfc?method=getNearbyUsers&returnformat=json&queryformat=column",{"lat":lat,"lng":lng},function(res,code){ if(res.ROWCOUNT > 0){ for (var i = 0; i<res.ROWCOUNT; i++) {

Would greatly appreciate if someone could comment on this snippet from the external session storage doc:Once a session object is received from Redis, there can be changes to the object within the timespan of a given request. The session is persisted (if modified) back to external storage on request end. The changes made by the current request on one node are available to all other nodes.https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/using/external-session-storage.htmlAs part of my organization's move to a cluster of cf server instances, we're also moving to storing sessions in a redis cache. Some places in the app make remote invocations via fetch request to first modify the session in some way, then before that request has finished, re-fetch some data which may or may not use the newly modified state. This was fine while we were storing session in memory, but we're finding that the modified state is getting overwritten by the second request (perhaps because that second request pulls from the cach

I've run into a bit of a strange issue. I installed CF 2023 and had everything up and running without issue including the Solr server. I left for the day, and upon logging back in this morning, the ColdFusion Collections page was giving a generic 404 error page and is now just not loading anything (i.e. blank page). Again, everything worked when I signed out yesterday. The Solr server is still functioning correctly, I can navigate to ...:8995/solr/ and the Solr admin page is fully functional, and I can see all the collections I created yesterday. I'm assuming this is just an issue with the CF admin GUI, but nothing was changed, so I'm not sure why it would suddenly start failing to load a specific page. Checking the logs, the corresponding errors appear to be:Error [http-nio-8500-exec-8] - org/apache/zookeeper/KeeperException$NoNodeException The specific sequence of files included or processed is: {cfrootpath}\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\solr\index.cfm, line: 346and:Apr 02, 2
