We have a legacy app that extensively uses CFTABLE and CFCOL. Since these tags were removed from CF2025 I was wondering if it would be possible for Adobe to post the source code for these tags so that we can define them as customtags so that we don’t need to manually re-write every page in this application. It doesn’t seem like it would be that big of a deal for them to do this and it would save us a great deal of time and effort as all we would need to do is change <CFTABLE to <CF_CFTABLE and <CFCOL to <CF_CFCOL [or whatever the customtag is called] instead of changing all of the HTML on every single CFM file.thanks.
Will need to upgrade Windows server from 2016 to 2019 or 2022. Will Coldfusion 2021 release be compatible with Windows Server 2019 or 2022? thanks
Hi,I recently downloaded and installed the version ColdFusion 2025 trial edition using GUI installer.After the installation,I was able to access the ColdFusion Administrator page successfully.However,I do not see the start/stop option for the ColdFusion Application Service in the windows Services console. So, I am unable to restart the service.Could you please advise how to enable or access the ColdFusion service? Thank you
today i received Adobe Security Bulletin indicating a priority 1 patch had been released for ColdFusion. I reviewed the list of critical vulnerabilities patched and immediately started to patch my servers. I referred to https://guides.adobe.com/coldfusion/en/docs/introduction-to-coldfusion/coldfusion-2023-updates.html and downloaded the hotfix jar and the packages zip. However the hash published on that page for the packages repository: (MD5:651E86B76AF4D405EAB2D177EC82EAE3)“Hotfix and packages repository - link - (MD5:651E86B76AF4D405EAB2D177EC82EAE3)”does not match the hash i generated after downloading the file. (I tried it multiple times, downloading from the web browser and via curl. I even tried downloading the packages to a personal device. The file size is always consistent, however the hash does not match. I can find no other hash. Below are the download command, results of my download, the file sizes of downloaded files and the hash results.command prompt visual with som
Hi Support team, I am working on a project in ColdFusion version 2023.

Where the heck do you report a bug? Now I know why the Adobe developers say they don't have any bugs in their queue. No one can figure how to report one.I was also told they offer free installation support. Where and how do you reach them? I've scoured the website and can't find it.
I just discovered that my ColdFusion PMT 2023 server had run out of disk space on the volume where the PMT is installed (separate disk from where Windows is installed). This is a dedicated server running on Windows Server 2022.I added more space to the volume and tried to restart both the data store service and the PMT service. The datastore service will start, but the PMT service will not. The Windows Event log had no useful information about why it won't start. The PMT exception log says: [ERROR] 2026-07-17 12:38:46.675 com.adobe.pms.es.client.ElasticSearchClient - Datastore Service not available. Retrying to connect...[ERROR] 2026-07-17 12:39:19.284 com.adobe.pms.es.client.ElasticSearchClient - Datastore Service not available.

Hi everyone,I’m working with an XML feed in a ColdFusion project where menu-related data is stored as a comma-separated string inside a single node. Each entry starts with a category or brand name, followed by multiple items, but I only need to display that first value.Example XML (simplified):<cfxml variable="menuData"><catalog> <item> <type>Drinks</type> <details>Cold Brew Coffee, Vanilla Latte, Caramel Mocha, Iced Americano</details> </item> <item> <type>Specials</type> <details>Holiday Drinks, Peppermint Mocha, Sugar Cookie Latte</details> </item></catalog></cfxml>What I’m trying to output is just the first part of each details string:Cold Brew CoffeeHoliday DrinksI assume this can be handled with string functions after parsing the XML, but I’d like to confirm the cleanest approach in ColdFusion, especially if the data grows later.This is part of a menu-structuring projec
I’m trying to import REST services from a ColdFusion 2023 server into ColdFusion API Manager. The same process works with other ColdFusion versions, but this error occurs: CFDiscoveryPortalServiceImpl - Error retrieving available REST services
Images in cfr reports are not displayed with CF 2025, no matter whether I use a relative path, an absolute path, or a file url. They were still displayed in previous CF versions.Is this a restriction of the developer version I am currently using?Any help is appreciated.
An update came out yesterday and someone at our company was attempting to install it to our servers. We noticed that one of the servers was not loading the CFAdmin screen. So we applied the patch via the command line instead, hoping that may fix the issue but it didn’t. We are currently on ColdFusion 2023 (2023,0,21,330920) on Windows Server 2019. The troubleshooting steps taken were rebooting the server as well as running the Web Configuration tool to remove and recreate the profile.Any help is appreciated. The error we are getting is:Could not find the included template ../../login.cfm. Note: If you wish to use an absolute template path (for example, template="/mypath/index.cfm") with CFINCLUDE, you must create a mapping for the path using the ColdFusion Administrator. Or, you can use per-application settings to specify mappings specific to this application by specifying a mappings struct to THIS.mappings in Application.cfc. Using relative paths (for example, template="index.cfm
Hi all, This morning I noticed that I cannot see any of my submitted or voted-on support tickets in the Bug Tracker: Issues Created: 0 You haven't created any issues Issues Voted: 0 You haven't voted for any issues Looking in the browser console, it looks like a 500 error is getting returned for both the created and voted API calls: HTTP Status 500 - Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.web.client.RestClientException: Could not extract response: no suitable HttpMessageConverter found for response type [class com.adobe.jira.model.v2.SearchResult] and content type [text/plain] Additionally, the following 500 response is returned from the search API call: HTTP Status 500 - Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.web.client.HttpServerErrorException: 503 Service Unavailable I've tried on
I’m trying to setup a configurable coldfusion docker/kuberntes environment where I can just swap the datasource configs in order to boot up different stages.I have managed to do this locally on docker by setting up datasources in the cfusion admin page, and then copying the neo-datasource.xml configuration to my host machine.After that, I adjusted my docker compose to mount the neo-datasource.xml to it’s respective location: volumes: - ./coldfusion/neo-datasource.xml:/opt/coldfusion/cfusion/lib/neo-datasource.xmlThis works.Though, this only works locally, and not on kubernetes. In my attempt to replicate this for kubernetes, I have mounted the neo-datasource.xml into my kuberntes deployment via configmap, but cfusion attempts to write into neo-datasource.xml which is an issue because kubernetes configmaps are always read-only. Here’s the correlating log error: Unable to install SQL package: coldfusion.server.ServiceRuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/coldfus

The ColdFusion 2025 zip installers available for download at https://guides.adobe.com/coldfusion/en/docs/install-and-configure-coldfusion/coldfusion-downloads.html do not match the MD5 checksums linked from that page at https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/2025/zipinstaller/Checksum_CF2025_.zipinstaller.txtIt looks the zip installers were updated with Update 8 but the checksums haven’t been updated.

First of all, I have no coldfusion experience at all. So when answering or asking for coldfusion specifics, please try to keep your answer/question somewhat lightweight :)I’m trying to setup a minimal cfusion2025 image that runs on openshift.

Hello! Our software company operates a commercial CMS platform called AreaENGINE and has multiple customer websites hosted on a single ColdFusion 2025 server instance. My question is: Can a ColdFusion 2025 Standard Named User License (NUL) be used for this type of commercial service? We'd like to know if there are any restrictions regarding the number of websites, domains, or customers hosted on a given serverso we can confirm the licensing model before launching new customer services.
Hello everybody!I am working on removing all my inline JS codes. As an exapmle I've created a simple coldfusion (CF) template with a button. In a separate javascript file I define the function which is called when the button is pressed.

Update 8 for CF 2025. The link for the packages is https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/2025/packages/hotfix-packages-cf2025-008-331874.zip. The link for the Jar seems to be update 7 https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/2025/updates/hotfix-007-331586.jar. Should I try the packages and update 7? This is an air gapped system. Thanks!
