Questions

I want to do file transfer (SFTP). Since there are lots of files I want to implement a file transfer completeness assurance system in coldfusion using any Checksum techniques so as to make sure file has been completely transferred to destination and it is same as the source file. Is there any way to achieve this in Coldfusion ?. Or is there any way to do this in coldfusion with the help of any libraries?.

Hi again,I am having real issues trying to get SubVersion working smoothly with CFBuilder 2016. Just a bit of background. I am using CF Builder 2016 and CF Server 2016 both installed on the same PC (a Windows PC) and installed them in their default locations (C:\ColdFusionBuilder2016 and C:\ColdFusion2016). I have installed the Subversive plugin into CFBuilder, which is what I previously used to use with Eclipse. I have attempted several approaches at getting this working, here are the steps:Strategy 1: First I will attempt to create a ColdFusion project within CFBuilder and then try to import my code into that project.I created a new blank ColdFusion project called “test1” and selected my CF 2016 server as it’s server.Just to test the project at this stage, I added an output to the index.cfm test file that is created with the project and selected run, all works well at this stage and my file is run on the server successfully. The project structure at this stage is simple as follows:

Hi all,I am having a problem getting "console" data to be displayed to the console within CFBuilder itself. For this example I have installed CF Builder 2016 and CF Server 2016. If I start ColdFusion manually using the following command:    >coldfusion.exe -console -startThen ColdFusion starts up and I can see stuff like so:Also, if I dump a variable to the console using something like either of these, I can see this in that console:     <cfdump var="some text" output="console" />or     <cfset writeDump("some text","console") />However, if I start the server via CF Builder, the console panel only shows the very minimum of information, I don't see anything useful really. Here is a screenshot of CF Builders console panel for a server that has been started-up and has run the "dump" code above:I assume I am doing something silly here..... any advice would be much appreciated.Thanks a lotSteven

I need to buy a license of coldfusion 2016  enterprise and I'm not sure which license model I have to use.I have a development server and a production server, can I use the same CF 2016 enterprise license for the two servers?Should I buy two licenses? Could you help me or explain how I should proceed?Thanks a lot.John.

I have installed Cold Fusion (Version 2016 Developer) and can access all apps and database information only on the computer containing CF and SQL Server Express.  When I attempt to access it from another computer on my home network, I get a error message saying it took too long . It appears that it is not getting to CF  In the Administrator, I allowed access from any ip on my network, (99.99.99.*). Any Suggestions are appreciated.  Thanks

Is there a way to test how long session variables persist?I have a site I am working on where the session timeout is set in the CF admin for 4 hours.I now have a new application within that site that I need a NEVER session timeout.So I have this in my application.cfc<cfset This.name = "my_app"><cfset This.Sessionmanagement="true"><cfset this.applicationTimeout = createTimeSpan( 100, 0, 0, 0 ) /><cfset this.sessionTimeout = createTimeSpan( 100, 0, 0, 0 ) />I am hoping that this overwrites the 4-hour session timeout and sets the timeout at 100 days, which is fine.Is there a way I can test this without waiting for 4 hours to see if my session variables persist?

I am facing problem in code, I am following this tutorial series and stack please anybody help meThanks in Advance

Hi, all,I'm just curious.  Is it possible to have a web server that contains PDF files that need to be indexed for a Solr collection, and have the collection on the same physical server that CF is running on, but use a different CF server to index and maintain the collection?  Ex:Server 1: Administrative server, not public facing, has ColdFusion Server 11 and Apache on it.  This server will maintain the collections on Server 2.Server 2: Public facing server, has ColdFusion Server 11, Apache, and db server on it.  Collections are stored here, but they are not maintained by this server CFAdmin or any related code (cfcollection, cfindex, etc.)V/r,^ _ ^

Hello,running:Coldfusion 2016Centos Linux 7program:<cfimage action="writeToBrowser" source="test.png" format="png" />displays nothing.Tag worked in previous versionBrian Erickson

I am attempting to upgrade from CF11 to CF2016.  I have been unable to configure IIS to work with 2016, I am getting "Error while instaconfiguring connector on IIS.  Make sure you have administrator privilages" [sic].  I have full admin privileges on my machine and am running wsconfig as administrator.  The CF11 version of wsconfig works just fine, unfortunately can't use that to configure my 2016 site.  I tried someone's suggestion of reverting to parent, but to no avail.  No idea where to go from here.  For the short term, I am using the built-in development server, but would really like to move over to in my environment IIS since the production server is using IIS.  Any thoughts how I can move ahead?Thanks,Helen

I'm updating my ColdFusion11 to Update13, I've couple of question do we need to stop all the running services of ColdFusion before we start the update and does the ColdFusion11Update13 will update the jre version?

Oracle 12c can now store over 32k of data in a Varchar2 column instead of the previous limitation of 4000 and we are trying to utilize that option but are receiving ColdFusion errors when trying to do so. Below is my dev specs but this is also occurring on our productions systems with similar specs (CF 11 Enterprise and Oracle 12c).ColdFusion Version: 11,0,12,302575Edition: Developer  Operating System: Windows 7Adobe Driver Version: 5.1.3 (Build 000094)  Java Version: 1.8.0_25  Oracle Version: Personal Oracle Database 12c Release 12.1.0.1.0 - 64bit Production**Local install on Windows 7 After increasing the ability for Oracle 12c VarChar2 fields to hold 32k of data, inserting into, updating or selecting breaks ColdFusion statements for data over 4000. Statements under 4001 works fine. Strangely, when I remove the cfquerparam on the insert or update it works (but that's not an option).The select breaks either way.Insert Statement / Error:----------------------------------

The Platform Support Doc says MySQL 5.7. I'm not sure what that means. So, I'll try a different approach.Is anybody successfully running ColdFusion 2016 and MySQL 5.6?Thanks,Mike Oatsvall

What is the upgrade price to go from CF version 9 to 2016 standard?Our code was mostly written for CF MX. What should we look out for when upgrading?

I have a few questions regarding the generation of PDF's with ColdFusion MX7. For some reason when I generate a PDF from a URL the PDF generated looks awful. e.g. the layout is everywhere, some items don't even appear and is far from 'Printer Friendly'. This isn't an issue with my code but I believe it may have something to do with the websites themselves. I know CFDOCUMENT has some support limitations...does it support xhtml transitional with external stylesheets? The reason I ask this is because the only sites that seem to render ok (and I say just 'ok') are sites with generally bad markup where css is embedded within the structure itself...e.g. font tags and table layouts. My second question is regarding the capabilities of cfdocument. Believe it or not I have found it quite difficult to track any information on its capabilities. Is it possible to generate PDFs from documents that can be uploaded. e.g. a MS Word doc? This isn't a rant or anything, I'm just really confused! Ha.

Does anybody know about the current -- and maybe future -- capabilities of ColdFusion tools that generate PDF files, such as <cfreport...> and <cfdcoument...> tags, to create 'tagged' PDF files? Tagged PDF files are PDF documents that have structural markup information along the lines of HTML to give accessibility aids, such as screen readers, more information on what content the PDF document contains. I have been looking high and low for information on how one may create tagged PDF's -- or add tag markup to a created PDF -- with ColdFusion. I'm getting a sinking feeling this is just beyond the capability of our beloved tool!

We have our JVM (1.7) set to use TLS1.2 by default, and cfhttp correctly uses that setting, unless we use the clientcert attribute; when the clientcert attribute is used the ClientHello always sends TLSv1. Has anyone else encountered this behavior?

I've had no luck trying to install update 4 on ColdFusion 2016 using the administrator. It seems to have problems stopping and restarting CF (message: server taking too long to restart). While the system information indicates the correct version (2016.0.03.302561) the updates page still indicates that update 4 has not been installed and the install log shows the following:Installation: Unsuccessful.2009 Successes0 Warnings3 NonFatalErrors3 FatalErrorsAction Notes:Moving files failed:: Failed to back up the previous hotfix files. Retry installation after ensuring that the server is not running or files are not locked by the server.Failed to delete directory: Ensure that the server is not running or files are not locked by the server.Based on Charlie Arehart's suggestion here: http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2016/9/6/solve_common_problems_with_CF_updates_in_10_and_aboveI thought I'd try a manual installation. But I keep getting the error 'Could not find or load main class -
