I installed CF2016 trial and use ColdFusion server supplied wit this version.

I have 127.0.0.1:8500.

When I run my application, I cannot see errors if they there, I can se debugger only when no error on page, or I have HTTP 500 Internal server error,

    Regarding Flash, you're going to have to have that conversation with them, it's just a matter of when.

    If CF and CF Builder are both on the same machine, you should be able to use 127.0.0.1 as your IP address. But again, I'm not sure what exact problem you're having with the debugger. It's not going to catch page errors like you described. That's not really what it's for. It's to catch logical "errors" that won't cause the page to fail but might give you unexpected results, rather than syntax errors that explicitly cause the page to fail.

    Yeah, it easy to say not use flash, but user use it for decades, and how to explain them it will not work.

    Back to debugger, I set 127.0.0.1 as IP because it's local.

    Do I need put another IP, if I run ipconfig I can see my network IP?

    I'm sorry, but I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. You shouldn't see errors when you run your application. If there's an error on the page that is unhandled, your server will return a 500 response. If you have error handling, it will prevent errors from causing the 500 response, but technically speaking that's because you no longer have any errors - they've been handled!

    So, I suspect I'm missing some information from your question, and you might want to provide more detail.

    Dave,

    Thanks for response,

    I'm my agency we'll do migration from CF9 to CF2016,

    I've installed CF2016 trial version and try to play with my working applications code,

    I've set debugger using CF admin page, when I run my code, and I know there some sql error but on screen I have 500 error.

    but when I run cfm page without sql, I see below my content CF debug output,

    It is not only one problem, my CSS works differently, and in <cfform> flash doesn't work also.

    Flash is dying and going away, for the most part.  I highly suggest getting rid of the Flash form.  And to be totally honest, I wouldn't use CFFORM for anything.  The underlying code and .js that it uses is seriously out of date, and could present a security vulnerability (unless Adobe updated it for CF2016, which I doubt.)

    As far as your issue, are you sure that you added your IP address to the list of authorized IPs that can view the debug output?  I'm assuming that your code does not include a CFSETTING to suppress the output.

    HTH,

    UPDATE:  Not that I expect it, but if anyone who reads this post wants to inject arguments about Flash not dying, or that Flash is a great thing, please read the following:
