Here is my code:   <cffile   action="copy"   source="http://webber/intranet/docs/projplan/ProposalDNCCalculator.xlsm"   destination="http://webber/documents/P/P-#newproposalnumber#/">Here is the error I am getting:An error occurred when performing a file operation exists on file /documents/P/P-12143/ProposalDNCCalculator.xlsm. The cause of this exception was: org.apache.commons.vfs.FileSystemException: Could not determine the type of file "http://webber/documents/P/P-12143/ProposalDNCCalculator.xlsm".. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello,I am extending an application.cfc from another directory. In my parent application.cfc I have:<cfcomponent>this.name=hash( getCurrentTemplatePath());in the child I have:<cfcomponent extends="rootapplication">        this.name="child";It looks like the child "this.name" never runs. No matter what i do they share the same application scope and a change in one changes both (as they have the same application name).So I have two questions (different ways to fix the same problem):1. Is there a way to change the application name?2. Is there a better hash tag I can use for the parent this.name such that when run from a different directory it has a different value?.I was hoping the getCurrentTemplatePath would load the child path when the parent is extended (which would fix all my problems). Is there an easier solution before I bang on this some more, as this has been rather frustration (this scope in application.cfc seems to be protected from any

Hi Guys - I have a Coldfusion10 update 16 is running on standalone Linux server. I have 5 apps on this Coldfusion. Now I am trying to update the Coldfusion with update 23.

Can anyone help me to change port 8500 to 80 in Coldfusion ?

When folks launch CFBuilder for the first time, a "welcome page" appears. Sadly, on the right is a "ColdFusion News" feed that has info from 2014, about ColdFusion Splendor (the codename for CF11) and Thunder (the codename for CF Builder 3).Can we PLEASE get someone on the builder team to correct that? And what's odd is that the 3rd item (as I see it) is indeed a link to THIS beta. Even if this was a reflection of those being the only 3 most recent items in some feed, why does it not show the MOST recent at the top? Then some may be more forgiving of the older items that would now be "below it".But really, there ought to be new content "fed" to that feed. If someone on the CF team knows (or if anyone else knows) where it's getting its feed, perhaps some of us could contribute content to get more recent content. 🙂BTW, some notice that you can click a button at the bottom of that screen to "don't show again" (or you can turn it off in Window>Preferences>

I am running the Shibboleth login service on my ColdFusion 11 server.  After I installed update 14 my Shibboleth login stopped working.  All I get now is a "Bad Request" error following Shibboleth authentication. I uninstalled the update which got Shibboleth working again, but now I am looking for possible solutions to this problem before reapplying the update.  I think it may have to do with the Tomcat update to 7.0.85.  Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hello.I understand that for marketing reasons only, Adobe has decided to limit concurrent CFTHREAD calls in CF STD to just 10 even though no such limits exists in the underlining Java.   Does this artificially imposed concurrent thread limit which is designed solely to entice people to give $Adobe$ more money for an "Enterprise" license also limit the number of concurrent threads in the DB pool to just 10?   As you know, with each DB request a new thread is started and it would blow if Adobe expected me to spend $8500 just so that I can have more than 10 concurrent DB threads.   I might be able to accept 10 concurrent CFTHREAD calls, but DB, well, gosh golly, that would just make me write my web app in Java and call it a day.

We are seeing more and more requests for reporting on static code analysis with regards to security specifically.  Since currently are running CF 2016 Standard Edition and the only way to utilize CF Builder's Security Analyzer feature is to have CF 2016 Enterprise (or a trial version of it which obviously expires).  Very frustrating due to the importance of this feature and also the lack of other tools in the marketplace to do this for CF code bases.Any chance we will see this in CF 2018 Standard Edition?

We are running Coldfusion 2016.  Code has a webservices call.  We are getting following error.  Code will work for a time, but appears to start failing under heavier load.  Once it starts failing it doesn't recover.  We have been redefining the webservice each time as a temporary workaround.  Once errors start, we no longer see activity on destination webserver, which implies issue is in Coldfusion, and not in destination.org.apache.axis2.AxisFault: The input stream for an incoming message is null.at org.apache.axis2.transport.TransportUtils.createSOAPMessage(TransportUtils.java:93)at org.apache.axis2.transport.TransportUtils.createSOAPMessage(TransportUtils.java:68)at org.apache.axis2.description.OutInAxisOperationClient.handleResponse(OutInAxisOperation.java:354)at org.apache.axis2.description.OutInAxisOperationClient.send(OutInAxisOperation.java:421)at org.apache.axis2.description.OutInAxisOperationClient.executeImpl(OutInAxisOperation.java:229)at org.a

I have two dropdown lists whose contents are extracted from a database.But I would like that when I select a value in the first, the content of the second adjusts because according to the choice in the first list, I will not have the same elements in the second.illustration: display the department of a selected region. So I have a database with two tables, a table for the regions, a second for the departments. By selecting a region in the first list, I will display the second list corresponding to the departments of the selected region.Tank you

Does anyone recommend any cold fusion development companies, preferably in the Washington, DC area ? One that has experience with content management systems?

Let's say you have a component with a private property (a dependency) which will be injected into the component when it is instantiated.  Now, when you're working inside the component, is it considered best-practice to have getters and setters for private properties even when they will never be exposed outside of the component?  I've seen some examples online in other languages (e.g. C#) where dependencies are injected and then referenced without relying on getters/setters.  I haven't really been able to find a consensus on the optimal way to proceed when it comes to private properties.Here's an example of a simple component that has a dependency (dependencyExample) which exists as a private property. In this first example, I've used getters and setters which set the property when the component is instantiated (setDependencyExample()).  Then, when a method (doSomething()) needs to utilize the property, the getter (getDependencyExample()) gets triggered in

Does ColdFusion 2016 support JAVA 9 or 10?  I assume no to 10 but had to ask!Thanks!

Hello,When, to create an ebook, I select the different elements, if the ebook is big, I have a problem of timeout.How to cure it ?Thank you for your help

We are in the process of investigating an Oracle insert delay.  The page in question does two inserts into two separate tables.  The first insert completes immediately but the second query can take up to 3 minutes to get written to the db.Does CF receive any acknowledgement from oracle that an insert command was received or completed from Oracle?  It seems obvious that CF will continue to process code after the second insert which means that CF doesn't wait for the insert to be completed. Is it possible that CF is holding  the second insert command in a buffer due to server load or some other circumstances?

Hi,Upgrading to 64 bit ColdFusion 2016 and 64 bit 2016 servers.The current application (on 32 bit Cold Fusion 11, 2008 servers) allows the user to get a report and then download the report into Excel.When executing the report on 2016 and then requesting the report be downloaded into EXCEL, a login screen appears (does not appear in 32 bit version).Is there something in Cold Fusion 2016 administrator or on the server to not have the login screen appear?Thanks,Mike

Have a Windows 2016 server with IIS 10 running ColdFusion 11. Certain websites (with https://) won't load the default home page on iPhone and iPad only. The default home pages load great on all browsers on Windows 10, and even on a Mac in Safari and Chrome, but won't load on iPhone and iPad in either Safari or Chrome -- they just time out. If I put the name of the default page in the URL, it will load just fine on these IOS mobile devices, but if I just use the site's domain name, it will NOT load. IOS versions are up-to-date. If we set the default page to an html page it WILL load; if we set it to a cfm page it WILL NOT load.So the FAILING situation is in loading default cfm page on iPhone or iPad.I have come up with a workaround for this problem.I created an index.html file containing:<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='https://domainname.com/index.cfm'" />and made index.html the default page for the website.I don't like it, but it seems to get things working on the iPad

Hi,I have a Cold Fusion 2016 at update 3 and I am trying to restrict access to the internal components (adminapi) and the administrator to the server itself so that no one can access it without logging onto the server.  I added the IP address of the server and local host.  It seems to have saved it but it still allows outside access.  The administrator is hosted on the local tomcat server at port 8500.My security team is insisting to lock this down but this feature isn't working.  Do I need to apply an update to fix a bug or do I need to restart cold fusion?

I have a page with a 40 question form and at the end of it, there is a submit button.Once the Submit button is selected the 40 form fields data gets inserted into to my DB and the user gets cf-located to another page.It works great. I've done this a million times.But now I need to add another button or image to the page that reads (Email Me Help) that when clicked willNOT REFRESH THE PAGE, as the user may still be entering into the formThat will pass 2 hidden values to a email.cfm page -  that email.cfm page will then send a cfmail to our support and they will reach out to the user.  Also, the button or image needs to change to alert the user that their "Email Me Help" request was sent.This is so when a user is filling out the form if they need help. They can click "Email me help" and we can respond while they still have the form open.I cant get the form to process without refreshing the page.I've tried iframe, but can't get my hidden values into the iframe page and I have tr
