Important Note for update: If you are downloading the update from ColdFusion administrator and the server update level below update 11 for ColdFusion 2016 and update 4 for ColdFusion 2018, then it will not allow you to download the update. You will get Signature Verification Failed error. There was a change in our certificate and we updated that certificate in update 4 and update 11 respectively.

    I seem to be having a problem with the updated connector.  I installed update 12 for CF 2016 last night and started getting sporadic errors on my sites.  "The requested URL was not found on this server!"  Tomcat/ISAPI/isapi_redirector/1.2.46.   Roughly every 1 out of 5/1 out of 10 hits will produce the error.   I replaced the isapi_redirect.dll with the earlier version from CF 2016 update 11 and all is well again.

     

    I'm confused about the version stamped in these DLL files.  

    CF 2016 update 11 isapi_redirect.dll is marked version 1.2.46, 6/6/2019, byte size 486,400 

    CF 2016 update 12 isapi_redirect.dll is also marked version 1.2.46, 9/20/2019, with a byte size 515,584

     

    Is there documentation somewhere that indicates the correct connector version and file size for Update 12?

     

    Server Product: ColdFusion 2016
    Version: 2016.0.12.315717
    Tomcat Version: 8.5.42.0
    Edition Enterprise
    Operating System: Windows Server 2012
    OS Version: 6.2
    Update Level: C:/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/lib/updates/chf20160012.jar
    Java Version: 11.0.4

     

    Also having the same issue on a Windows 2016/CF 2016 box that was updated to update 12.

    A fix for this has been offered in another forum thread: https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2019/09/coldfusion-2018-release-update-5-coldfusion-2016-release-update-12/#comment-35695

     

    As for anyplace that tracks the sizes of the connector DLL, I don't know of one. And it is indeed VERY unfortunate that the "version" info reported for the dll file has not changed with those clearly different versions. I hope Adobe will address that.

    After applying this update, we found that all of our legacy CFOUTPUT + QUERY + GROUP loops are no longer supported.

     

    <cfoutput query="abc" group="clientId">

     

    We are also finding that some CFOUTPUT + QUERY are not being supported (if inside a function that has output=true).

     

    Is this to be expected?

    I didn't encounter this CFOutput/Query/Group bug using 2016,0,12,315717 (Windows Server 2016). What are you encountering? ("no longer supported" doesn't provide enough info.)

    After installation of this update on CF2018 (Windows, IIS) we're finding that the CFLOGIN attribute, allowconcurrent, seems to be 'stuck' on: FALSE.  Setting allowconcurrent=true does not seem to work.  All sites are now allowing only 1 concurrent login.  Can anyone confirm?
