Questions

Hi Team,I am relatively new to ColdFusion and need help with Verity and Solr.I am performing a migration of customer website hosted on ColdFusionMX7 to ColdFusion11. Whenever I am trying to search in the migrated website, its fetching an error. Investigating further it came to notice that on the source server Verity has been installed whereas on the destination server, Solr is used for collection.I have few queries as below:01. Can Verity work with ColdFusion11?02. What is the best way I can make searches to work in above scenario?Regards,Hrishikesh Waikar

Can anyone help with completing a custom validation to compare a string that is all uppercase, alphanumeric, and will compare several strings that should be considered "not a valid product number?"  The three strings would start with letters as follows: IP000000, IF000000, and RL000000 (the fail statements should be specific and start with IP, IF, and RL).I'm still new to editing custom validations, and can take any help!  Thank you

I am a beginner in learning cf. I want to know the details of the structure functions like why they are used, what are the parameters and their internal logic

Anything on the roadmap for CF 2018 pertaining to making CFGRID responsive friendly?

In the ColdFusion 2018 Public Beta with Update 1 applied, using Java 10.0.1 (rather than the default Java 9.0.4), when calling QueryExecute() and passing a struct of query params, if I use cfsqltype="CF_SQL_CHAR", maxlength=64 (note there is no double quotes around the 64) it throws an error. But if I instead use cfsqltype="CF_SQL_CHAR", maxlength="64" (note the 64 in double quotes) it works correctly.Please investigate.

We use the cfchart tag which uses the Zing Chart engine. Zing Chart itself is responsive. However, ColdFusion 2016 had not implemented that version of Zing Charts. I was wondering if CF 2018 will implement the latest Zing Chart engine with responsive charts?Thanks in advance,Justin

I think there is a logging bug that occurs when using ColdFusion 11 on IIS 10.The IIS log shows cs-uri-stem as /jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll and so the actual .cfm file path is not logged.I am testing 32-bit ColdFusion 11 (hotfix 10), on both Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. I think I also got the same result with 64-bit ColdFusion.Any ideas? Thanks.Note, I haven't tested generic Tomcat, but I see that similar behavior has occurred in the past when using Tomcat with IIS 7, with or without "Advanced Logging" (which I have not installed).

I migrated an application from a Cold Fusion 9.0.2 server to Cold Fusion 2016.  There is flex coding in this application and the main index.cfm page comes up without any visible errors but displays nothing!  In the CF 9.0.2 server the page comes up with content.  I don't know much about Flex but I've seen other posts about Flex not rendering anything.Any clues a direction to point me are much appreciated.

Hello Team,Recently I am going to deploy CFM applications with Adobe Coldfusion 2016.I want to install Adobe Coldfusion on a different server and I have two web servers and one of which is built in on which Adobe ColdFusion 2016 is installed and another web server on different VM. Both the web servers are running on IIS.My Question:- Can we use Adobe Coldfusion 2016 installation on one server and configure the websites which are hosted on the built-in web server and another web server?Do provide me with the solutions that If we can do that then what we need to do and if we don't then what are the best options we can accommodate.ThanksVirender

I am running builder 2018 and Coldfusion 11 on a local machine using IIS.  Everything connects fine.  I can run files from builder and they run in FF. I have built a very simple phonegap application (Hello World) which works with the Android Phonegap Shell App.  When I try to generate a phonegap build, I get a generic error message that says:    Please check ColdFusion Server Configurations.I have set up local and remote CF servers in every possible way I can think of but when I set up my application to use a server the error is always the same. Here are my last 2 server setting, one local, one remote.

So I have about 20 tasks that are chained.  Let's say that task number 5 fails, I'd like to move on to task number 6.  So I researched and found the event listener functions such as onTaskStart, onTaskEnd, onMisfire, onError.  But I am wondering if there is some variable that ColdFusion has built in so that I'd know what the next task in the chain is for me to call the execute functionality to kick it off.  Or is there a better way to handle this sort of scenario?Thanks,Justin

Hi all,a little problem with cfcompile.I tried on my Mac (high sierra) with CF2016 to compile a folder, or even just a file, with this scenario under my wwwroot:- "compsrc" folder has just 1 file (Application.cfm)- "compdst" folder is emptyHere's my console output/Applications/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/bin > ./cfcompile.sh -cfruntimeuser ale -webroot /Applications/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/wwwroot -dir /Applications/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/wwwroot/compsrc -deploy /Applications/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/wwwroot/compdstPassword: ****/Applications/ColdFusion2016/cfusion/wwwroot/compsrc/Application.cfm... successful 1total 1elapsed 0.587 secafter this, my compdst folder is EMPTY!!Any suggestions?p.s. I tried the same in a Docker container based on Ubuntu, and with CF11 on both mac & ubuntu. Same results... I'm surely doing something wrong...

We have a few ColdFusion 9.0.1 servers that are humming along and I would like to patch up them to the latest available updates, as I haven't patched them in a few years.  It looks like ColdFusion Security hot fix APSB14-23 contains hotfix 12 which is the latest I can find so far.  Can anyone confirm this is the latest available for 9.0.1?

I tried to learn to use cf component by creating a simple cfc. All I want to do within the cfc is to provide 1 query so within the application this query doesn't have to be created many times. I created a getFrmTypes.cfc this way: <!--- getFrmTypes.cfc ---> <CFCOMPONENT> <CFFUNCTION Name="FrmTypes" ReturnType="query"> <cfquery name="getTypes" datasource="MyDB"> Select * from TblForms order by FormID Asc </cfquery> </CFFUNCTION> </CFCOMPONENT> Then on the CF template that is calling this cfc I wrote: <CFINVOKE Component="getFrmTypes" Method="FrmTypes" ReturnVariable="FormTypesQuery"> When I run this template I got this error: The value returned from function FrmTypes() is not of type query. If the component name is specified as a return type, the reason for this error might be that a definition file for such component cannot be found or is not accessible. line 12 12 : <CFINVOKE Component="getFrmTypes" Method="FrmTypes" Return

Hello All,     I am running CF8 and I would like to implement a text box that would auto-complete with a drop down. I would like it to work as if I was using Outlook to look up a person in the Data-base.

I may be missing something simple, but here's a problem I'm having and am looking for, hopefully, a simple solution. Right now we have an 8 hour session limit. This is set up via Application.cfc and is working. However, if the user is idle for less than 8 hours after initial logon, then is active on the site right up until the 8 hour limit, the session doesn't reset. The user gets logged off while active at the 8 hour mark. Case scenario:- 2pm - User logs on. The 8 hour session begins and expires at 10pm.- 9pm - User resumes session after being idle. 7 hours elapsed in the session- 10pm - User is still active on the site, but the session expires. If they access personal information, they get a message that they need to log on. Is there a way to reset the beginning of the session at the 9pm mark so that the user isn't logged off while they're active on the site?

Last Saturday I ordered an upgrade from CFB 2 to CFB 2016 through Adobe site. In Adobe site they were saying I have to wait 24 hours for the paying process. Yesterday after 48 hours the process ..was under process and I was still waiting.Meanwhile they already were displaying the SN of the upgrade that I still had not.Today I see the paying process is over, Adobe has got the money from my card, they have issued an invoice, but they still don't give a link to download it.!!!  In the page with all my downloads and orders they say payment is OK they have link to the invoice, BUT clicking on downloads page I see all downloaded software with the links, BUT there is no link for the paid product. Does anybody have an idea what the heck is happening???Do they want me to pay again???? 🙂Please notice that I ordered UPGRADE. So I guess can' t download the full CFB from Adobe site and use the given upgrade SN. Could they mean that??? They don't give any info about it in my orders page

I'm generating small (2.25"x1.25") labels with a barcode using cfreport and saving as PDF. If I open the PDF in Acrobat everything looks exactly as expected and printing directly to a Zebra label printer works perfectly. But when I try to send the same PDF file to the same printer using cfprint, the labels are offset by about half an inch and no longer align with the labels. The printing is also lighter and not as sharp. I've tried setting cfprint arguments for scaling and quality and just about everything else, but can't get the printing to look the same as a direct print from Acrobat Reader. I'm using CF2016 on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.Anybody have any ideas as to what could be going on?

Hello all,I'll admit we're pretty far behind with our CF server version and patching. But we're trying to catch up.We just recently patched one of our two production servers and noticed an issue with our cookies. Previous to the patch, CF would give a cookie that expires in 2048. After the patch, it gave a cookie that expires at the end of the session.But when we went live with that server after the patch, anyone who had one of the 2048 cookies had to kill their cookies and get the new cookies. If it were up to me, I would've just patched the second server and had them all update their cookies (a few days of pain, but over and done with). But the corner-office folks decided to pull the patched server out of the cluster and try to figure something else out regarding the cookies. So, now all the users have gotten 2048 cookies again.So, now I'm trying to figure out how to dynamically delete the 2048 cookies when they hit the site, and give them the new "at the end of the session" cookies.

Hello all,I've been developing a coldfusion page that will email a student and faculty member when a form is requested. I had to provide an email and password in the local Coldfusion Administrator page in order for it to email. I am now attempting to run these pages on a remote server and have been told that I do not need to provide email credentials on the remote Coldfusion Administrator page, that only the mail server is required. However I am not having luck and think that I was incorrectly informed about this. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Hi,I am trying to run the following C:\temp\test.bat file using cfexecute@echo offstart iexplore.exe www.google.com<cfexecute name = "c:\temp\test.bat" timeout="1"></cfexecute>The test.bat file opens up internet explorer when I call it from a Windows command, but the CF script does not do anything.  When I googled the problem, a couple people suggested that it might be a permission issue, ie. ColdFusion service does not run as admin in Windows. However, there is no mention of how to fix it.My questions are:1. Is this true that CF service does not run as admin eventhough me as the user is an admin?  I have no problem with cffile writing to C:\temp.2.  How do I run CF service as an admin?  I use Windows Vista as my OS. Thank you!

windows 2008/tomcat 8/iis 7.5. Does no one install Coldfusion on an existing java server like Tomcat?  I ask because I've been searching adobe and googling for weeks now, and I have yet to come across anything remotely close to a complete install guide.  There are a few 1 page articles on adobe about ear/war file deployment, but nothing about further setup of API manager or any of the add-on services.  And maybe my google-fu was weak lately, but I have never found an article about anyone deploying a war in tomcat, then setting up iis isapi_redirect, then setting up api manager, etc..  The most frustrating thing, is that it is hard to translate the dozens of articles about the built-in web server, to a war/ear deployment. For instance, {CF Install}\config\wsconfig\ which is referred to all over doesn't exist in tomcat/webapps/cfusion.  For the isapi_redirect.dll, I was able to connect tomcat to IIS and serve up a cfml page after some experimentation, but now I'm
