A very basic, stupid mistake. I decided I needed to reset the password for the Windows account that the ColdFusion services run as, and now, trying to start the ColdFusion services results in "Error 1069: The service did not start due to a logon failure." As such, I cannot get into the CF admin screens, so any suggestions on how I go about fixing this? Thanks,

I have to integrate Power BI Report in ColdFusion web application.I am newbie in ColdFusion and Power BI Report.Could someone please help me to integrate the Power BI Report in ColdFusion web application.

I have a brand new install of Coldfusion 2018 (which we bought earlier this year but are just going to). The add-on service starts and just stops. When I try to look at collections it tells me the Solr service is not running and when I research that it appears to be tied to the add-on service issue. I just would like to get the server running for the first time.

I spent a couple days struggling with this and felt I needed to share with the community. I've been running CF 2018 locally for a while, but the production server (internal website only) was CF 11. I was pretty confident that I had addressed all the version differences because I'd been using it locally, so I finally got my ducks in a row to purchase the upgrade for production and rolled it out this week. Shortly after deploying the new server, users started complaining about popup windows not working correctly. We had a handful of CFWindow tags that were modal="true" and center="true". When the user clicked the link that called ColdFusion.Window.show('windowname') the screen would go grey (modal) but the window was not popping up cented in the viewable area, sometimes ending up off the bottom of the page (esp. when viewed on mobile devices), and they thought their web page had locked up. After a day and a half of flailing, I determined the underlying issue and backtracke

We are moving CF applications to Docker containers from Windows Server 2016 servers. We are using Windows authentication so have to rely on IIS for the webserver. I am trying to configure the IIS with 64bit version of isapi_redirect.dll under mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore/iis:windowsservercore-ltsc2019 but getting the following error:HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server ErrorCalling LoadLibraryEx on ISAPI filter "C:\ColdFusion\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.dll" failedError details in Win Events:TimeCreated                     Id LevelDisplayName Message-----------                     -- ---------------- -------8/7/2019 8:29:30 PM           2268 Error            Could not load al

<cfif not directoryExists(arguments.dirPath)> <cfset directoryCreate(arguments.dirPath)> </cfif>Even after checking that the directory doesn't exist, directoryCreate() fails with:Message: The specified directory {directoryPath} could not be created. Detail: The most likely cause of this error is that {directoryPath} already exists on your file system.Ultimately, I want to delete it to quickly clear all files, then recreate it.I can instead loop through the directory to delete the files, but removing the directory altogether does the job when it's not being weird about whether or not it exists.

Hello, I am would like to use cffile to delete all files in a directory every night to clean up pdf files that were created during the day. Is there a way to delete all files with naming each one? What would go in the file path? <cffile action = "delete" file = "full_path_name"> Gary

Hello,I have detected a weird (to me) behaviour of the IsDefined function. I have something like:<cfif IsDefined("url.vose")><cfset somevariable="some value"></cfif><cfif IsDefined("url.3d")><cfset somevariable="some value"></cfif>* if url.3d is defined, good. All works as expected.* if url.3d is not defined, CF throws a "Parameter 1 of function IsDefined, which is now url.3d, must be a syntactically valid variable name" error.* if I use structKeyExists(url,"3d") instead of IsDefined("url,3d"), works as expected.I tried with different combinations of variable names and scopes (pe, url.5d or form.3d) and the problem seems to be the number at the beginning of the variable name.Is this the expected behaviour? I found very strange that it works if the variable exists and only throws an error if not. Could this be considered a bug and should be reported?TIA,

Cfwindow not displaying scrollbars on IE. Inspite of using the overflow attribute , still the scroll bar wont show up. Thanks in advance

In order to enable WebSockets, the following example is given: application.cfc this.name = "WebSocketDemo"; this.wschannels = [{name="stocks"},{name="chat"}]; When application variables are dumped, this.name looks like it gets translated into application.applicationname.  However, wschannels is nowhere to be found.  How would one be able to enable websockets via a call in application.cfm or any cfm page? I tried this but neither worked: <cfset application.wschannels = [{name="stocks"},{name="chat"}]><cfset application.this.wschannels = [{name="stocks"},{name="chat"}]>

I'm in a little bit of a unique situation with this. This is a rebuild before I install CommonSpot, and put this server into productionI've installed ColdFusion 2016 on the F:\drive of my server and the install it self went as I would've expected. However when the migration wizard comes up it will not accept the password that I had entered during the installation process. I've used the passwordreset.bat file, it didn't work. I've directly edited password.properties, that didn't work either. Here's the issue, this is a hardened server with no access to either localhost or local loopback or any browser access.  So it has to be done externally. 

I'm merging some PDFs with  <cfpdf action="merge" source="#arrayToList(arguments.PDFsToMerge)#" destination="#finalPDFDocument#" overwrite="yes" > But I'm getting the error "The pages attribute is not specified for the MERGE action in the cfpdf tag." I have used this tag/action before without requiring the "pages" attribute, since, per the documentation, it's optional for the "merge" action. Why is it requiring this?

We are having an issue when executing either queries or stored procedures with CF2018 running on Windows 2016/2019. The same code running on Windows 2012 runs fine, however when executed on Windows 2016/2019 the execution times are 5-10x (at least) as long. The database server is MS SQL Server 2012. Enabling logging on the datasource indicates the slowdown occurs at PreparedStatement[n].execute() . On Windows 2012 it takes 15ms vs 265ms on Windows 2016/2019. We have tested this using CF2018 update 3-5 and recevied the same results, looping the same query up to 200 times. Could this possibly be related to nvarchar?  See attached screenshot. I am sure the query could be optimized but we can not determine a valid reason of the slow performance due to the Window OS.

The problem is  when I try to  editing one of my values all the drop-down lists return  to the first one in the list and not the one they selected originally.Thats why the user have to chose original value in drop-down lists everytime  When they editing. .this is my code :<cfset AboneID=""><cfset Aciklama=""><cfset musteriTipi=""><cfif IsDefined("url.id") and IsNumeric(url.id)><cfquery name="u" datasource="deneme">SELECT * from MusteriHareketleriwhere MusteriId=<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#url.id#"></cfquery><cfset AboneID = u.AboneID><cfelseif IsDefined("url.did") and IsNumeric(url.did)><cfquery datasource="deneme">DELETE MusteriHareketleri WHERE MusteriId=<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#url.did#"></cfquery></cfif><form name="add_deneme" method="post"><table border="3"><tr><td><strong>Abone ID: </strong></td>&l

Hi team,In CF2016 please help me know how to begin with SSO as I am new to this.

Hello,We have CF2016 Enterprise Edition on a server.  We use cfcontent tag to allow users to download a .CSV file they have exported from a report within our CF application.  We have this problem on this server only and it is our only CF2016 server.  We cannot install another version on this server. The exported .CSV files may be from 2mb to 20mb in size. If file size is under 4mb it downloads fine.  If file size is larger than that (approximately) the file will stop downloading around 4,700kb. However, if I just put a direct link for a large .csv file into the home directory and call it directly via HTTP the file downloads with no problem. So it does not appear to be a firewall problem. But, the same file will ALWAYS stall out when downloaded through our CF application.  Also, if I create a simple page with a link to a CF template with a CFCONTENT tag in it then the small file will download but the larger file will stall out. Depending

Hi, new sharepoint user here. How do I migrate the forms created in coldfusion programming language to SharePoint? What do I need to be able to do this?  Also, set up the datasource to use MS Access.  Any feedback would be appreciated!  Thanks

Hello everyone, We are getting an error As shown below on our Dev server Error Occurred While Processing Request. Please try again.Error Executing Database Query. [Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver]A username and password are required if the connection option 'authenticationMethod' is specified with a value of 'userIDPassword'.The error occurred on line 28.  Whereas on our Prod server we are getting an error message as shown below 500 - Internal server error.There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. We would like the error message to be the same as that displayed on Dev server on our Prod server also. I have looked at the authentication.cfm file but could not see anything which can help me.We think this is due to an incorrect setting in the Cold Fusion Administrator , Can someone help us with this issue ?

Hello, I am attempting to backup and restore my datastore by copying the datastore/dump.rdb file for one server to another.  Once copied I am not seeing any data from the source location.  Are there other files / data that need to be copied?   My goal is to backup and restore my API's from one server to another.  I am assuming that copying the datastore will move my API's from server to server?  Any suggestions or pointing me to some documentaion is appreciated.   HisEdNess
