Questions

We are in the process of upgrading to ColdFusion 2018 from ColdFusion 2016 on Windows Server 2016, using IIS 10.  CF2018 update 7. Initially, we created a new IIS site and everything worked fine.  Then using the wsconfig tool, we pointed back to our existing IIS two sites that were previously configured with ColdFusion 2016.  *.cfm files wouldn't display.  Further investigation shows the 'Handler Mappings' for *.cfc and *.cfm are missing for the existing two sites.  The mappings do exist for the new IIS site and at the server level.  Not sure why the existing sites didn't 'inherit' those mappings, but they did inherit *.cfml, *.cfr, *.cfswf.  We've tried 'unconfiguring' and reconfiguring using the wsconfig tool several times.  Currently we're using the Universal site connection and there's only one wsconfig/{number} directory. We're going to attempt to add the handlers manually to each existing site, but is there a better way?  This is

Hi, I would like to use the websocket functionalities in our CF11 server but i have an error when i want to access the websocket page in the CF Admin. I have the following error :---The system has attempted to use an undefined value, which usually indicates a programming error, either in your code or some system code. Null Pointers are another name for undefined values. -----Any ideas to solve this?  Our system is :ColdFusion 11 version 11,0,19,314546 Edition Enterprise (latest update)It runs on Linux and we are using Apache as web server. Thank you very much for your answers and help.

I've had a scheduled task running every minute since last June, it's run fine.  Recently it stopped running.  I have a lot of other scheduled tasks that are still running fine. If I visit the page I want the task to visit, it runs fine.  The task Last Run column claims it ran.  If I click the Run Scheduled Task button I get the success message, but it doesn't seem to be going to the page to trigger the event I need it to. I'm on CF10. Any thought on why this would happen? Thanks 

https://superuser.com/questions/1288216/coldfusion-builder-2016-change-font-sizeI already posted over on superuser, but thought I'd post here as well.  In CFB 2016 trying to edit Window > Properties > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts > Basic > Text Font doesn't seem to work. Anyone see the same thing and/or have a workaround? In CFB 3 the exact same thing opened a dialog that let you change the font.  Here, it just spins for a half-second and does nothing.

I want to give page number in range format in TOC using DDX. Eg.Expected Output                                                                                                                                   PAGEReport1 Name                     &nb

I want to add some header to TOC using DDX.

Workin on ColdFusion 11, need to attach a file from amazon s3, can i attach with out using  coldfusion File tags? Does cfmail or cfmailparam support Amazon S3?

Recently my app was scanned for vulnerabilities and I was flagged for a few - mostly pertaining to the client variables and the assoicated cookies.  Specifically with a cookie being utilized called CFClient_SMITH (let's just say that my application is called SMITH). My hosting site does not allow session variables, so I must use client variables.  Evidently because there is not client storage set, all of the client varaibles are now being stored in the CFClient_SMITH and are available for the picking.  I am getting nailed for Privilege Escalation, User Impersonation, Forced browsing - just to name a few. I was told that by naming a clientstorage value this would eliminate this issue.  The hosting group told me to use a specific clientstorage value (let's say APPLE) and to set the client cookies to no as shown below:<cfapplication name="SMITH"        applicationtimeout="#createTimeSpan(0,4,0,0)#"    

Is there anywhere that will tell me when ColdFusion updates are released?  I'm assuming montlhy for regular updates and quarterly/bi-annually for major version updates.

In our application, we use J2EE session variables for session management. We recently migrated from ColdFusion 9 to ColdFusion 2018. After migration, the logout functionality is not working. What we found is that, in ColdFusion 2018, the cookie JSESSIONID is not getting cleared from the browser because the HttpOnly flag has been set to true in the browser. We tried to disable this HttpOnly flag in the browser in following ways,By disabling HttpOnly flag and Global Script Protection in CF admin.By modifying the jvm.config via CF admin by adding "-Dcoldfusion.sessioncookie.httponly=false". But this way the HttpOnly flag is still showing as enabled in the browser. Because of this, the client-side script is not able to clear the cookie JSESSIONID and hence logout functionality is not working. Is there any way, in CF2018, to disable the HttpOnly flag in the browser for the cookie JSESSIONID?. Note:In CF9, the HttpOnly flag is disabled in the browser for the coo

I just stood up my first docker image on my local computer, and have the app working next to the CGI variables I need. How do I get those when I hit the web page of the user hitting the web page. CGI.Auth_user in particular?

CF9 is now running at developer mode with a limit of 2 external ip and a water mark everytime i generate an PDF file. please help

Hello All, Thanks for taking the time to go through my question. I need to implement a security patch to an application to keep all cookies expiry to 1 day. By default, CF is setting to 2050. Added a piece of code on application.cfc to make it as 1 day.<cfset this.sessioncookie.timeout = "1" >However, it did work for CFID and CFTOKEN but not for CFGLOBALS cookie. Any idea how to update the CFGLOBALS expiry as well? Thank you

I'm trying something like: <CFEXECUTE NAME="/var/www/cgi-bin/something.pl" TIMEOUT="60"/> but there is no output. This works from the command line and from the browser (running CFHTTP is not a great substitute here). I've read on the forums that this could be a permission issue, but I'm not getting an error. The documentation for CFEXECUTE says "If the effective user of the ColdFusion executing thread does not have permissions to execute the process: a security exception." So why no exception? FYI, I'm running ColdFusion 7 on Linux. I know that CFEXECUTE by itself works because this tag works and returns the date/time: <CFEXECUTE NAME="date" TIMEOUT="60"/> If ColdFusion does need to have different permissions and/or run as a different user in order to run a Perl script, how do you set this up? And is this a big security issue if it's on a public web server? Thanks for any input.

I need help retrieving and storing Google user attributes (i.e. group membership, etc.) and logging a user out of our ColdFusion Intranet but keeping them signed into Google.

Trying to get the debugger in CF Builder 2018 to work with my sites that run under IIS. My environment is CF 2018 server configuration, CFB 2018, IIS 10, Win 10 Pro - all running on the same machine. I know I am close because I added the CF web root as a project in Builder, created ...\cfusion\wwwroot\debuggerTest.cfm with a breakpoint and it does work. I tried adding a new local server configuration in builder for port 80 and setting it as the server for the IIS project I want to debug but the breakpoints never fire, I think probably because it's not finding RDS?  Not sure how all that ties together. What is the trick to getting this to work? Also, I am not opposed to moving the cf web root to run under IIS ..  I did try that but couldn't access the administrator. TIA

I've been working on migrating code from CF10 to CF2018.  I just noticed that in CF2018, my queries are unintentionally using a CF-like query cache.  This is noticable everytime I alter the table structure, my CF2018 session is still referencing a cached version of the query.  This happens even when I try to clear the query cache in CFADMIN, it doesnt affect the results.  Different behavior is produced with CF10 (see below).  If I add a comment to the query, it returns the correct results.  Is there a default query cache option enabled with CF2018? My Code:<cfquery name=”qTest”>select * from users</cfquery><cfdump var=”#qTest#”> CF2018 Results:Displays table columns names correctlyCache is false CF10 Results:Displays table columns names correctlyCache is false Then I rename a column in oracle, and run the same page<cfquery name=”qTest”>select * from users</cfquery><cfdump var=”#qTest”> CF2018&nbs

I have a report with a group header, detail band, and a group footer. How can I keep them from splitting up if they fall between pages? I want to keep all together on one page, even if it means that the page breaks before the group header. I don't want to specify starting a new page break at each group, because that would be a total waste of paper (some groups are only a few lines long). I've looked at the "split allowed" property in the group header band and have set it to false, but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Right now, if I remove all of the grouping, I will have a group header at the bottom of the page with the detail and footer on the next page and it looks dumb and is hard to read. Does anyone have a workaround or an answer to this question?

What would I be looking at to run a Perl script at d:/path/to/my/perl/loader.pl %year% with a <cfexecute...> tag? I've tried to do it directly: <cfexecute name="d:\path\to\my\perl\loader.pl" arguments="#year#" variable="goodbar" errorvariable="foobar"/> I've tried to do it through cmd.exe: <cfexecute name="c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" arguments="d:\path\to\my\perl\loader.pl #year#" variable="goodbar" errorvariable="foobar"/> I've tried calling perl.exe: <cfexecute name="e:\Perl\bin\perl.exe" arguments="d:\path\to\my\perl\loader.pl" variable="goodbar" errorvariable="foobar"/> I am not having much luck with this. The weird thing is that I am not getting any results OR errors. Just nothing. This is a Windows 2003/CF 8.0.1 server.

I've connected to a remote server and can run a project in debug, but when it gets to a breakpoint in a .cfm file, it always has the error 'Source not found.'  I have a feeling my 'Server Mappings' are incorrect, but I'm not sure how to fix them.  Does anyone have an example of a correctly setup mapping? Our development and remote paths are on different drive letters, I'm wondering if that confuses it.  I don't have anything for 'Virtual Host Settings', do I need to? I've tried several variations for mappings, including:Local Path: F:\workspace\appname Remote Path: G:\dir1\appname URL: host/dir1/appnameLocal Path: \\hostname\G\dir1\appname Remote Path: G:\dir1\appname URL: http://host/dir1/appname Here's the Eclipse error from the workspace .log file in .metadata:!MESSAGE Error logged from Debug Core: !STACK 0 java.lang.NullPointerException at com.adobe.rds.client.eclipse.debugger.core.launching.CFMLSourceLookupParticipant.getSourceName(CFMLSourceLookupPartic

Cannot make ODBC Socket connection, getting this error: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][SequeLink Server]The specified data source is not defined.The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][SequeLink Server]The specified data source is not defined I used Developer installation before I purchased the ColdFuison 2018 Standard License and I was using Oracle as a Driver and was able to connect to the database. Once I applied the license (serial number), the Oracle connection was not working anymore and I tried to use ODBC Socket and still cannot connect, the error from above occurred. Additional Information: Cold Fusion is installed on Windows Server 2016. I have set up the ODBC connection and it's connecting to the database without errors.

Hello, all. I'm trying to check the status of a collection to see if it's already in the process of being updated.  <cfindex action="status" status="sinfo" collection="myCollection" /><cfdump var="#sinfo#" />  This results in an error: "Variable SINFO is undefined." What am I doing incorrectly? V/r, ^ _ ^ UPDATE:  This has been added to Tracker.  Please vote for it.  Thank you.

I'm looking for instruction for setting up CF2018 as a systemd service.  I found a script called cf-init-run.sh and it created the service file but the file that the service file references "sysinit" does not exist.   Any idea as to how this file gets created or if it's other file renamed ?  Or perhaps another script that is supposed to create it.Any help would be greatly apperciated.  Thank you
