Hi,

I have installed Cold Fusion 11 in a developement environment.

I noticed that there is an update for a security issue.

I am unable to locate the update (security fix) for Cold Fusion 11.

Does any one know where the update is located so I can download it?

Thanks for your help,

Mike

    ColdFusion 10 and 11 use the built-in update feature to download and install security fixes and product updates.  You can access the Server Update tool from within the ColdFusion Administrator.  When updates are available, they will appear with an orange star at the top right-hand side of the Administrator page, just to the left of the LOGOUT button.  Click the star and it will take you to the updates section.  Alternatively, you can scroll down the left-hand navigation menu to the Server Update panel, click on it to expand it, then click on "Updates".

    Hi,

    I found the update link, but when I select the Download and Install nothing happens.

    Should something appear during the installation of the fixes?

    There is a message on the screen "There are no installed updates" wording after the showing of the updates and before the Auto-Check option.

    Also, should the Updates disappear after being installed?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    Once update is applied, CFadmin > System Information  should report EG:
    Update Level  D:/ColdFusion11/cfusion/lib/updates/chf11000002.jar

    CFadmin > Server Update > Updates > Installed updates tab should say EG:
    ColdFusion 11 Update 1 
    Update Level: 01
    Update Type:  General
    Install Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:26:01 +1000
    Update Description:  etc

    Perhaps you could try to apply the update manually. Likely the updates are downloaded and located here:
    \ColdFusion11\cfusion\hf-updates as hotfix_001.jar or hotfix_002.jar for update 1 and 2. Run CMD prompt as administrator. CD (change directory) to \ColdFusion11\jre\bin then type in (drive letter and paths may vary):
    java -jar c:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\hf-updates\hotfix_002.jar

    follow the graphic window prompts specifying correct paths as needed.


    Reminder update 1 and update 2 have a patch for CF to IIS connector. This needs manually applying after update with WSCONFIG tool.

    HTH, Carl M.
