Questions

I recently spoke to an agent from technical support about CF licensing and he said he will connect me to someone from sales team but I never got a call back so I will try to get an answer here.I don’t know which edition of CF I need to buy, standard or enterprise. I was informed licenses are issued on a Core basis. So if I’m using 2 VMs with 4 cores each, which edition do I need? And how many licenses? Can you send me a full description on how the licensing works? I can’t seem to find anything that helps on the website.

I am setting up a new site and getting this cryptic error message. 500 errorElement NAME is undefined in a Java object of type class coldfusion.runtime.StructBean. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: I cant get any pages to run. It looks like the session vars aren't getting set. Any idea what this is? Maybe some server settings arent correct?

The core server localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator brings up a page just fine.localhost:8250/CFIDE/ brings up a directory search, but adding administrator to the end produces a blank page with no HTML at all. administrator/index.cfm does the same. However, putting an index.cfm in the root of the IIS site directory and navigating to localhost:8250/ opens that cfm file just fine. I must be missing some property setting/permission, but I've followed the two following guides to the letter.http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/products/coldfusion/pdfs/coldfusion-2016-lockdown-guide.pdfColdFusion Help | Web Server ManagementEnvironment: Windows Server 2012 R2. The only installs on it are IIS and CF 2016, all developer settings, using coldfusion internal server..What are my likely failure points?

Hi,We have been using CF8 for years on an xserve running cf8 enterprise (32 bit) single server mode and have had no problems. We recently added a new xserve running OS X Snow Leopard and installed CF8.01 Enterprise 64 bit in multi server mode (currently using default cfusion instance). All of the sites load correctly until we try and process images. We are seeing 2 different errors when trying to resize (or crop) an image:sealing violation: package com.sun.media.jai.util is sealedjava.lang.SecurityException: sealing violation: package com.sun.media.jai.util is sealed at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(URLClassLoader.java:234) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$000(URLClassLoader.java:58) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:197) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) atand Could not initialize class javax.media.jai.JAIjava.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class javax.media.jai.JAI at coldfusion.image.Image.resizeImageWithJAI(Imag

I'm using cfscript to create a (fairly) large xlsx spreadsheet.  As I was developing the script and the spreadsheet grew in size, I started getting the following error when attempting to open the spreadsheet:I narrowed down the problem to my use of the functions used to format cells (specifically, SpreadSheetFormatCell and SpreadSheetFormatCellRange).  I found that by commenting out some of those function calls, the error would disappear.After much trial and error, I've now come to believe that the issue isn't incorrect usage of the formatting functions, but rather some sort of internal limit I'm running into.  I threw together a simple test case to show this.  The following code (named "bigSheetTest.cfm" on my system) can be used to show the problem (at least on my machine):<cfscript>maxrows = 725;formatBoldCenter = StructNew();formatBoldCenter.bold = "true";formatBoldCenter.alignment = "center";formatBoldUnderlineCenter = StructNew();formatBoldUnderlineCente

One of my site which runs on ColdFusion is opening debugging site instead of normal site. Whatever option i click on the site there is a ColdFusion debugging window opening. I the home page of the site also i am getting options Debug this page and Docked debug pane. What might be the cause for this sudden change . How to resolve it ?

CF trows me out every time I try to submit the DSN the page http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm?target=%2FCFIDE%2Fadministrator%2Fdatasources%2Findex.cfm  gives an error (There was an error accessing this page. Check logs for more details).It's on my new installed local develop machine. I suspect something has been done wrong with the insatllatieonSomebody an idea?psApplication log tells me: There was an error while verifying the token. Either the session timed out or un-authenticated access is suspected.

In ColdFusion 10 Administrator > Data & Services > Flex Integration > Flash Remoting. The description says, "Lets a Flash client connect to this ColdFusion server and invoke ColdFusion Components (CFCs). NOTE: Disabling this feature also disables ColdFusion server monitoring and multiserver monitoring." I don't think we run any monitoring. However, is there a way for me to verify that before I disabled this option?

Hi,I'm trying to collect data from two separate tables in the same database.  One table holds the data for the topics and the other holds the data for the replies to that topic.  I want to combine these two so I can output one list that lists the topics posted by a user and the replies made by that same user together in a single recordset. (I'm testing it with '2' as the user_id).  The problem is that I'm seeing double when I test the recordset. This is how I've created the recordset so far:SELECT boardtopics.user_id as t1_user_id, board_replies.user_id as t2_user_id, boardtopics.title as t1_title, board_replies.title as t2_titleFROM boardtopics, board_repliesWHERE boardtopics.user_id = 2 AND board_replies.user_id = 2​any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you,Michael

I have a routine that properly encrypts and then decrypts data, using CF, into a SQL table. My encrypt function is as simple as: encrypt('secure text', [seed key], 'AES')I can use this to insert data into a MS SQL varchar(50) field, and then later retrieve those results using CF, use the CF decrypt function, and get my 'secure text' back in plain text. This has all worked perfectly well for years.I now have a need to decrypt the 'secure text' using SQL directly, not ColdFusion. I have found the SQL EncryptByKey and DecryptByKey functions, but even though I'm using the same [seed key] string, and using the AES_128 SQL algorithm, it's not properly decrypting things. Is this just general incompatibility, and I should stop trying, or is there a way to align the CF encryption and the SQL decryption to make them compatible?The SQL function I'm using looks like this:CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY AES128SecureSymmetricKey   WITH ALGORITHM = AES_128   ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = N'[seed

Hello, all,I have a form that when submitted to CF will perform validation, then insert all the information into 2 or 3 (depending) sheets in Excel, drop it into an email and send it off.The recipient of the email then puts focus on one of the sheets in Excel and does a "Save As.." into a tab-delimited txt file.  Easy peasy, right?The recipient then takes that txt file and submits it to ACT (I have no idea what ACT is, but I'm guessing it's another application that I don't have access to.)One minor problem, though, is that a few of the columns in the txt file have all associated values inside double quotes, which is screwing up inserting the data into ACT.Here is a txt file example:BOOKING     TYPE     ORIGIN     DESTINATIOND2D     DOD     "Charleston, SC"     "Destin, FL"D2D     NDOD     "St. Louis, MO"   &n

Hi,We planned to upgrade our ColdFusion9 version to ColdFusion2016. During installation, at 76% the process is not at all moving further. I am breaking my head with this silly issue. Tried reinstalling by quieting the current installation but was no luck. And one more point, before reinstalling again i tried to uninstall but it was throwing a fatal application error: "This Application has Unexpectedly Quit.  Invocation of this Java Application has caused an Invocation TargetException".  Please help me. Any suggestions are accepted.OS of the machine is Windows server 2008, 32-bit.RAM 4GB.Previous version of ColdFusion is ColdFusion9.Note that i am following the Adobe ColdFusion (2016 release) Migration guide.

Hi,i want to create a redirect to non latin URLs like<cflocation url="https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Заглавная_страница" statuscode="302" addtoken="no"  />But in this case i will be redirected to https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20_ So the result is that i got the wrong URL.What can i do? suggestions?ThanksFelix

I'm tasked with installing Cold Fusion 9 on a box that already has Cold Fusion 7 on it.  They really want to have them running side by side.I have a few questions on this, and I'm hoping community support could help guide me in the best direction.1) From what I have read it is highly suggested to run only instance of CF on a server.  Can anyone further prove or dispel that suggestion?2)  I have the tag changes since version 5 and above as my first resource link below.  If we would move to strict CF 9, should it be relatively easy to upgrade?3) If I was going to have CF 9 and CF 7 run silmuntaneously on the same server it was suggested to install the new version first, and then the old version.  Well this server already has CF 7 running on it.  I don't think it would be wise to uninstall CF 7 just to install CF 9 first.  Do you agree?4)  If the versions were running side by side, what is the indicator that says one site or app runs which version o

I have an application that uses cfimage to load an image which is then resized (using imageresize) and overlaid with a watermark (using imagepaste).   It had been running for some time on a UNIX platform and now fails.  The error message is "could not initialize class javax.media.jai.JAI.  The error occurred with imageresize(imagename,300,"",highestPerformance)  and I can get past that error by using imageresize(imagename,300,"",highPerformance).However the same error then occurs on Imagepaste(image1,image2,0,0) and I have found no way around that problem.One development platform is a Win10 CF version 2016,0,03,300466 with Java version 1.8.0_72  and no such errors occur on the test system.Another development platform is a Win10 CF version 2016,0,0,297996 with Java version 1.8.0_72 and no errors occur on that test system.The production systems is UNIX CF versionj 2016,0,03,30046 with Java version 1.8.0_72 and errors occur there so the application no longer

It only occurs at very specific times of the day.Any ideas?

Hi,Can someone tell me if antivirus software is recommend when doing strict validation on file uploads or using the PDF merge feature?Thanks in Advance.

Hi, I'm using Coldfusion 2016 and trying to consume a SAP web service using cfinvokeThe web Service requires authentication, so I'm including a username and password in the cfinvoke tag:<cfinvokewebservice="http://server:port/sap/bc/.../..bld?sap-client=xxx"username="MY-USERNAME"password="mypassword"refreshWSDL="yes"method="MY_METHOD"returnvariable="SAPRet"><cfinvokeargument name="ARG" value="0021002003" /></cfinvoke>I can trace the call to the webservice in Wireshark and see that the WSDL is retrieved just fine, but calling the actual method results in an "authorization failed" error. It seems that username/password specified in the cfinvoke tag are only used for retrieving the WSDL, as can be seen in the Wireshark trace, but they are not used for calling the method.Same error occurs when using cfobject to consume the webservice.When using SoapUI to consume the web service, I have to input username/password twice: Once for downloading the WSDL and once inside the req

I'm fairly new at CF and I have a question about some functionality that I'm struggling with a bit.I have a form with the following options field:<option value="#getPages.Title#" <cfif variables.fieldValue EQ getPages.Title>checked="checked"</cfif>>#Trim(getPages.Title)#</option>The value of #getPages.Title# is being populated from a database query call getPages. #getPages.Title# would output as a page title.  I have another value called #getPages.PageURL#.My question is, is it possible to apply  #getPages.PageURL# to #getPages.Title# so that when #getPages.Title# is output on a page it will be a link.I've tried the below but it obviously didn't work.<option value="<a href="#getPages.PageURL#">#getPages.Title#</a>" <cfif variables.fieldValue EQ getPages.Title>checked="checked"</cfif>>#Trim(getPages.Title)# </option>Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Robert

Our ColdFusion 10 Application Server would not start. It was running fine since server inception back in July until I got back to the office from vacation yesterday. Looking at the Event Viewer 'application' log, it's showing the following message:"The description for Event ID 259 from source ColdFusion 10 Application Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.The following information was included with the event: ColdFusion 10 Application Server."I thought that the issue was caused by Hotfix 14. So I manually removed the hotfix and rebooted the server couple of times. However, ColdFusion still wouldn't start. Has anyone came across this issue before? I look forward to your response. Thanks.Best regards,Chung Lee

This is under Security/CORS. I have an API that I had originally set the Allowed Origin at * while I was testing. This worked fine. Then, I decided I wanted to test limiting this to specific domains. However, for some reason, it wouldn't save the value I had entered. This is the format I entered it in: http://www.example.comAnd now, when I try to change it back to * it won't save, and I'm getting CORS errors when I call it. UPDATE: I also tried restarting the API Manager service and this didn't make any difference.

I am creating zip files using cfzip and it is basically zipping up some high rez images. So after the cfzip code I have the following <cfset TheFileName = "#ReReplace(GetImage.ItemNum, " ", "-", "ALL")#.zip"> <cfheader name="Content-disposition" value="attachment;filename=#TheFileName#"><cfcontent type="application/zip, application/x-zip, application/x-zip-compressed, application/octet-stream, application/x-compress, application/x-compressed, multipart/x-zip" file="#APPLICATION.ProductImageDirectory#\full-brands\#TheFileName#"> The problem I am having is it starts the download of the zip file before it is finished so it downloads a corrupt zip file each time. The zip file on the server is fine. Any idea how I can get the page execution to pause until the zip file is actually finished being created?
