I know I've asked these questions before, but I'm curious if anyone can speak to when Tomcat bundled with ColdFusion 11 will be updated?Tomcat is bundled as part of ColdFusion 11, previously Adobe has provided a hotfix to upgrade Tomcat.  Is this something on the product road map?Tomcat 7.0.70 fixes the following issue: Moderate: Denial of Service CVE-2016-3092

Anyone know a good alternative for the rich text editor using ColdFusion.  I can get the rich text editor to work but the image button doesn't allow uploads and I know it used to be able to do it quite a few versions ago.

We are retrieving all messages from an inbox and after running ColdFusion 2016 update 10 from update 7.<CFEXCHANGECONNECTION ACTION="open"     USERNAME="***********" PASSWORD="***********" CONNECTION="mailconn" SERVER="outlook.office365.com" PROTOCOL="HTTPS" FORMBASEDAUTHENTICATION="TRUE" FORMBASEDAUTHENTICATIONURL="https://outlook.office365.com/owa/auth/owaauth.dll" SERVERVERSION="2010"><CFEXCHANGEMAIL ACTION="get" FOLDER="Inbox " NAME="p_messages_unsorted" CONNECTION="mailconn">  <cfexchangefilter name="MessageType" value="Mail"> </CFEXCHANGEMAIL>The connection to the server is successful.

Hello, all,We recently had our CAPTCHA bypassed (not surprising, as I kind of had to do a hack-ish job with it due to some security restrictions) and I custom-built a new one.Apparently, our production environment is not 100% identical to our dev or staging environments, as it works well in those.I just received an email from the customer stating that 1) the CAPTCHA is not matching in FireFox (possibly due to a constantly changing JSESSIONID), and 2) IE11 will not display the image, at all.  I checked for #2, and in production IE11 does, indeed, _not_ display the image.On the code level, the image is being created like the following:<img style="width: 200px; height: 85px;" src="data:image/*;base64,{and a long string of blob data}" />Any suggestions?  I am at the end of my rope on this one.V/r,^ _ ^

We have a web app running on CF10.  When trying to migrate it to CF2016 update 4, we have a cfajaxproxy that is generating the following error.Invalid usage of AJAX tag.Use cfajaximport tag to specify SCRIPTSRC or make sure all ajax controls are inside a single cfform tag that has SCRIPTSRC.We are running on IIS 8.5 on Windows 2012 R2.  The website has a virtual directory /cf_scripts in IIS pointing to D:\ColdFusion2016\cfusion\wwwroot\cf_scripts and I can call any of the scripts directly through the web browser and see the JS.

I am moving from CF10 to CF2016 and I have discovered that the pages that contain a cfwindow command have significant styles being added. For example, the body statement which in my source has no other tags, now shows as having class="x-body x-webkit x-chrome x-rest" added and these styles change the appearance of the pages. This does not seem to happen on pages without a cfwindow. They are left as I coded them.I've tracked the effects thru Chrome Developer Tools, and the style sheet ext-all.css, which is part of ext JS 4.1 is doing the damage. The result is changes in font size and spacing on the web page. This did not happen in CF10 and so far I have not found any pages without cfwindow statements that have the same problem.So why is it doing this? How can I stop that behaviour without creating special versions of style sheets that are used only on those pages? This affects a number of websites.

I had some code that was developed for a windows server to create some image files. The destination parameter had backslashes in the path. When run on a Coldfusion 9  linux server, the files ended up in the top directory with long filenames consisting of ' directory\directory\filename'.  Now I need to delete them. I've tried cffile action="delete" file="directory\\directory\\filename">.

I am running Cold Fusion 11 and have a problem, intermittently, when a form is submitted the entire application server stops.   The application I've created has been running for several years without throwing this problem.   I've looked through all of the log files and I've not found any indication of what is stopping the serverAnd, of course, the problem does not happen all the time.   I was able to recreate the issue with one of my users, so at least I know it is real and not user error.The process is such:A call is made to the DB to get any entries associated with the master reference keyI loop over those entries and dynamically build the form inside of tables (yeah, I'm old and lazy)Each form field is name+indexing variable.   The indexer starts of at 1 and I just add 1 to it as the cfoutput loopsSo, each form field name us uniqueIn the case where the server is crashing, I am only submitting ~30 fields (though I've previously upped the defaul

I installed CF2018 and got it working. Now I'm wanting to switch over to an external web server and CF server for my dev work. However, I can not get the internal server to STOP! I open a Terminal window, go to the /Applications/ColdFusion 2018/cfusion/bin folder and run the command "./coldfusion stop" in the terminal. It says it is stopping, asks for a password (which is not clear WHAT pw it wants but I give it my Mac pw). It then says it's stopped or stopping.Moments later its running again.I can find NO help in the Adobe CF docs online that describe how to configure auto start and how to stop it on a Mac. I have a MacBook Pro and super frustrated that after stopping the internal server over and over and over, it spins right back up! Nothing explains how to stop it or manage it.How does Adobe expect CF usage to grow when the docs are so deficient?I am on MacBook Pro running OSX 10.14.5 MohaveCF 2018 with internal web server

Hello,  We are using ColdFusion 2018 on a Windows server 2016 platform. One of our data entry screen crashes when the data is submitted. I see an error message which states something as shown below.I tried changing the setting for 'postSizeLimit' in the file neo-runtime.xml as it was mentioned in one of the previous posts, this also did not help, we continue to get the same error.How to resolve this issue ? HTTP Status 400 – Bad RequestType Status ReportMessage POST parameters exceeds the maximum limit.Description The server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing).Apache Tomcat/9.0.5

Are ArrayMap(), .map(), .filter(), and .reduce() only available in CFSCRIPT?  In all my Google searching, I've never seen any examples in CF tags, only CFSCRIPT code.V/r,^ _ ^

We are having to make 41+ administrator console changes in ColdFusion 11 update 19 and would like to export the current state in order to perhaps revert back.  Is there a way to export all of the settings?  I have read that I can create a CAR file but don't know all of the files to put into it.  Is there not functionality to export them all at once or can someone tell me the steps to insure that I get all of them?  thanks

We are going thru upgrade from CF10 to CF18. The same code used to call oracle stored procedure in CF10 fails in CF2018. I am not sure what may have changed with this tag but the error message doesn't make sense to me based on values I am passing. I can confirm the store procedure is working fine.Code:<cftry><cfstoredproc procedure="pps_owner.prodplan.sp_CalcProduction" datasource="#session.datasource#">     <cfprocparam type="In" cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" dbvarname="STR_NUM" value="6005" null="No">     <cfprocparam type="In" cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" dbvarname="CAT_ID" value="20" null="No">     <cfprocparam type="In" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"  dbvarname="PLN_RUN_TS" value="31-Jul-2019 17:20:37" null="No"></cfstoredproc><cfcatch type="database"><cfdump var="#cfcatch#"><cfabort></cfcatch></cftry>

Trying to migrate our Microsoft Access DB's to a new server running Microsoft Server 2012 and ColdFusion 16. I have been able to do this in the past using the 32 bit ODBC Data Source Administrator, but it doesn't seem to be working this time.

I am having issues trying to install Coldfusion 2016 32-bit on Windows 2016.  I can get the executable to run but it completes with errors.  It looks like it only partially installs.  There is nothing in the install error log that is helpful (or I don't understand it).  We are loading 32-bit because we require 'MS Access with Unicode' for a datasource.  We are migrating Coldfusion 2016 32-bit from Windows 2008 version where it installed fine. Is there something about Windows 2016 where this won't install?  If someone has done this successfully, that would be helpful information.

I’m reasearching how to incorporate a SAML integration into a CF app. The bigger picture is an external Active Directory source, SAML to a CF app with its own user management. Any info is helpful. 

Are there any open-source reporting tools that you can recommend for coldfusion and or Mysql. I have been using CFreport builder for over a year now but i'm looking for another alternative that's more current and user-friendly.

I have created a new Windows Server 2016 and installed ColdFusion 2018 on it.  Everything was working. Next I started going through the lockdown guide.  I got to the part about running the auto lockdown tool (section 2.6).  The tool ran fine but when I was reviewing folder permissions and other IIS settings I was not seeing everything that it should have done.  After carefully looking through the log file I found that it encountered an error and then started rolling back changes.  Now I have an unstable server with a mix of settings.The log file seems to indicate that it failed when attempting to change the logon user for the additional ColdFusion services.  Well I did not install the additional services as we don't need them.  I guess the tool is not smart enough to bypass that and so it failed.  Why?Here is an excerpt from the log file:2019-03-28 12:22:23 INFO  - Folder permissions changed!2019-03-28 12:22:23 INFO  - Successfully setu

Updating ColdFusion 9 For TLS 1.2 Usage We are using ColdFusion 9.0.1 with jdk 1.7.0_75 version. We have to use TLS 1.2 in our systems. We have tried:Added -Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2 line to JRun4 > bin > jmv.config file.Installed jdk1.8.0_172 - jdk1.8.0_221 versions and changed JRun4 > bin > jmv.config > java.home path. After that when i want to open web page, opens empty page. It is empty between body tags. There is no error. I have read an article linked below, i can use ColdFusion 9 with Java 8 without problem. Here is the Stackoverflow link:https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50767125/server-and-jre-are-set-to-tls-1-2-but-coldfusion-9-still-trying-to-use-tls-1-0?noredirect=1&lq=1 Infact, question is simple. How can we use ColdFusion 9 with TLS 1.2. My OS Windows 2008 Server R2, running on Vmware and JRE 8 installed already. Thanks for you replies.
