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 am trying to configure a localhost Coldfusion developer instance to connect to a remote Coldfusion Solr server.I have changed the [instance]\jetty\etc\jetty.xml jetty.http.host from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 and I can access the Solr dashboard at http://[host]:8989/solr/After I have changed the Solr host the Coldfusion Collections seems to pull up the remote list, however when I try to add a collection I get an error Unable to create collection [colletion_name].Unable to create Solr collection [colletion_name].An error occurred while creating the collection: org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrClient$RemoteSolrException. Check the Solr logs for more detail.I do not know where this Solr log file is, however I do see the request.log has a line in it [255.255.255.255] - - [31/Oct/2017:20:01:31 +0000] "GET //[host]:8989/solr/admin/cores?action=CREATE&name=test&instanceDir=C%3A%2FColdFusion%2F2016%2Fcfusion%2Fjetty%2Fmulticore%2Fcollections%2Ftest&template=C%3A%5CColdFusion%5

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

ColdFusion Admin has the follow on the Font Management screen:Any attempt to add a font or a directory to a font ends in a black screen and an error in the log.  Blank screen being CF Admin navagation with a HTTP 500 message.I have attempted both a TTF file and a directory C:\windows\fonts\Error message in log is com.lowagie.text.FontFactory.getFontProperties()Ljava/util/Map; The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\settings\fonts.cfm, line: 82Any suggestions?

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 -

I recently started to get an error message when logging into my site after years of it working fine. I am more on the marketing/financial side so feel free to talk down to me.

Any help would be appreciated. I am using Cold Fusion Version 8 and Windows Server

Is there any way to load multiple cfdiv in a sequential order. For example in my page top half is coming from some cfdiv and bottom half is coming from another cfdiv. The problem is the second div loads first and then the first cfdiv is loaded. This causes the page to jerk like collapse and expand. One of the solution I have is javascript delay. But is there any other way???Your time & help is really appreciated.Sathya

I have several CF2016 instances on a server and each instance seems to take several minutes to start. Sometimes the instance seems to have started and then I see that it is not running nor starting in Services.I have ~270 datasources on each instance and sometimes during a failed startup I see timeout errors for datasources in the log.

I am a novice when it comes to CF.  Our company uses CF16.   I am copying existing code from one our other websites, however nobody is around that worked on it so there is nobody to ask.The code displays a hidden <td> holder called "help_field_1new".  This is used for entering new help information.  When a button is pressed to add a new record the program updates the innerHTML to a textarea field  (code = (document.getElementById(help_field_1new).innerHTML = "<textarea name='help_field_1_textnew cols='70' rows='3' onKeyUp='validateLen(event,this,2000);' onPaste='return validateLen(event,this,2000); return validEntry(event);' onDrop='return validateLen(event,this,2000); return validEntry(event);'>"+document.getElementById(help_field_1new).innerHTML+"</textarea>")The problem is that I can't figure out how to retrieve the actual value that is entered....I've tried document.getElementById, but all I get is the actual HTML.Advice?Thanks.

Hello, I just installed CF Builder 2016 and the features are fantastic. There is one vital feature that I'm not sure how to enable. Whenever a file is locked by another user in our source control software my old IDE would warn me that it was locked and would not let me edit it. CF Builder 2016 does not do that. It will let me open and modify the file even though it's locked by someone else. Is there a setting that I can change so that it will not open locked files in source control? I'm on Windows 10. This is quite an important aspect of software development so I'm sure it has been addressed somehow. I just don't know where to look to enable that feature. I'm aware that it's eclipse based and a version control plugin might be needed to check files in and out but I'm just looking to block a user (me) when someone else has a file checked out. Can that be accomplished with a setting or is a plugin required?  We use Serena - PCVS Version Manager (8.4.6.0)

Hello,With coldfusion 11 enterprise edition , we could modify the value of following timeout (under « Server settings/ Request Tuning » ):      "the timeout request witing in queue after ... second".I can access to this timeout with the coldfusion 16 developer edition.With coldfusion 16 standard edition, we can not access to this timeout with the IHM anymore, but the access can be done by the following file "cfusion/lib/neo-runtime.xml".Could you please tell me if the modification of the neo-rutim.xml file will be took account with all coldfusion 16 edition or there are some restriction with the standard edition ?Thanks in advance for your answer.Audrey.
