Hi all,Recent issue that has started with the server.  Every weekend at roughly the same time the coldfusion server service just stops.  I have nothing in the CF logs to tell me as to why it just stops.  Windows event logs simply says :Event error 7024 The ColdFusion 11 Application Server service terminated with the following service-specific error: The system cannot find the file specified.If you go in and restart the service it starts back with no issues.  I have the latest and greatest patch (installed the patch to see if that corrected the issue), but no good.Running on Windows server 2012.

I recently migrated a legacy Windows 2003 Server running several ColdFusion 8 websites to a new Windows 2012 virtual server running ColdFusion 11. After much testing, everything is pretty much running smoothly, with one exception. I have a few Scheduled Tasks that are setup in ColdFusion Administrator with a "Timeout (in seconds)" value ("7200") that is greater than the "Timeout Request after seconds" value ("60") set in the Server Settings > Settings. When any of these Scheduled Tasks runs, they timeout at 60 seconds.Is this a bug, a known issue, or expected behavior? Will using CFSETTING with a "requesttimeout" value within the template file resolve this?Thank you,Eric

I have CF 2016 installed and at one time the CF administrator was working. the sort cut to the CFIDE/administration is does not server up the web page any longer. CF is working on the server the websites are still running.my sites are under WWW the coldfusion default is under wwwroot. IIS default is WWW and does not include wwwroot. I'm guessing that's the problem. but again it did work at one time. I think the answer may be in IIS? is there someplace I need to look for specific CF configuration in IIS?Thanks you,Mike

Hello, we recently installed a security update from Microsoft (KB4019276) on our Server 2008 (non R2) Enterprise server to remediate TLS 1.0 vulnerabilities on our web server. Since applying the patch the Coldfusion Scheduler is no longer functioning. I do not want to remove the patch since it has resolved the vulnerabilities at hand.Please note, the URLs for each scheduled task are non-SSL links and all the links are currently active and worked prior to the patch. If I run it manually from the list I get the following message:There was an error running your scheduled task. Reasons for which scheduled tasks might fail include: The scheduled task is paused The URL is a redirection URL. The URL is protected by IIS NT Challenge/Response or Apache .htaccess password. The Username and Password text fields for editing a scheduled task are intended to support Basic Authentication only. The Domain Name lookup failed. Try using the IP address of the domain whenever possible. The URL is an SSL s

I am running ColdFusion 11 Developeron Windows 2012 R2.  I have a total of 15 instances running.  They all run fine without issue.  However, I tried applying the latest patch(chf11000013.jar).  When i run the update it only gives me the option to update a handful of the instances.  i was able to successfully apply the patch to those but now I cannot get the others to update.Below are screenshot of the running instances as well as the update screen only showing a few instances available for update(it is always the same ones that appear in the list).Instances:Available when running upgrade:

Hello,JDK9 is now release. When will CF2016 be supporting JDK9?https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/whatsnew/toc.htmThe current update for CF2016 update 5 herehttp://blogs.coldfusion.com/coldfusion-2016-update-5-and-coldfusion-11-update-13-released/in part says:For the security fixes in these updates to be effective, ColdFusion 2016 should be on JDK 8 u121 or a higher version, ... The use of latest JDK update is recommended.Since the latest JDK is now 9 rather than 8 (8u144), when will CF2016 support JDK 9?Regards, Carl.

I am updating a CF10 server to CF2016. We ran into issues that stored procedures were not executing because the dbvarname attribute in the cfprocparam now required a colon to indicate an oracle database.Originally, the error referred to a database failure of some kind (can't remember exactly what it is.) I prepended each dbvarname with a colon and it appeared to be working fine. Now, I have been given another piece of the website that hasn't had this done yet. While I was updating and doing some testing, it appeared that the error changed. The error is now"The value '' cannot be converted to a number."and it happens after the stored procedure. This error returns if dbvarname="", dbvarname="xxx", or dbvarname="(actual name)". The code works correctly when dbvarname has ANY value as long as a colon exists, including dbvarname=":" It appears that the actual value for dbvarname is being ignored and the cfprocparams are being treated positionally, if I switch the cfprocparam lines, it chang

Hello people, I'm having an issue within a Coldfusion application.The user logs in and access a page. The page contains two links: one to another cfm page and the other one to an image.1. If I copy the URL of the image and then log out from the application, and then paste this URL into the address bar of any browser (which is within the same path) I will be able to see the image. This shouldn't be happening, the Application.cfm page should redirect my request to the login page.2. However, if I do the same thing with the other link, the one that will take me to the cfm page, then the Application.cfm page will redirect the request to the login page, as it should.Anyone with an idea how to avoid the behavior described in item 1?Thank you

DollarFormat(1214.225) is returning $1,214.22.  I would expect $1,214.23.  I think I would have noticed this before and I am wondering if it a CF2016 issue or is this the normal behavior.Thanks!

Hi, Just recently I started this tutorial for CFML. Going through this course was pretty straightforward and almost without a hassle. But now I have hit a brick wall at using coldfusion components. I followed the instructions in the video and the assignment but I stumble upon this error and cant figure out what is going wrong. As I am adding the references to the different functions in the component i stumble upon an error. The reference to the getNewsYears function is at the top of my code(as the assignments says). But the output is somewhere at the bottom. The Error below keeps popping up.I cannot find any info on frequent mistakes made during the tutorial. Can anybody see what I am doing wrong?

I am connecting to the unsplash api (it allows free images to be used in websites) and the problem is that up until today everything was working fine. The user would enter a keyword and it was then sent using the following code:<cfhttp url="https://api.unsplash.com/search/photos" method="get" result="fetchSplash"> <cfhttpparam type="url" name="client_id" value="xxx"> <cfhttpparam type="url" name="query" value="#url.unsplashme#"> <cfhttpparam type="url" name="page" value="1"> <cfhttpparam type="url" name="per_page" value="20"> </cfhttp>JSON was being sent back with image information without any problems but now I get the following error:I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be as nothing has changed on our server and if I test their url like this in a browser I get results ((ID number has been removed):https://api.unsplash.com/search/photos?client_id=xxx&page=1&query=officeAny help appreciated!

Hello,I have an existing/working CF10-SQL 2008 DataSource that I need to make encrypted. I have added the following connection string to the advanced setting of the DSN: EncryptionMethod=SSL; trustStore=C:/ColdFusion10/jre/bin/cacerts; trustStorePassword=PASSWORD; ValidateServerCertificate=true;The SSL certificate for the SQL server was issued with the FQDN and resides on the SQL and ColdFusion servers and was loaded in to the CF certificate store. When verifying the DSN, I receive the following error:Connection verification failed for data source: TestSSLDSNjava.sql.SQLNonTransientConnectionException: [Macromedia][SQL Server JDBC Driver] SSL Handshake failed: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested targetAny assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, all,My boss is working on an addition to our site that has a form to submit that a user can use to submit a complaint.  He is using a custom-made CAPTCHA that is randomly generating a three digit number and setting that to a session variable.  The form handler page then compares what the user entered to the session variable.  But the JSESSIONID is changing on every click, etc., so when the handler gets the form, it's a new session and the values do not match.What can we do to make this work?V/r,^ _ ^

My ColdFusion 11 app is working fine on my local machine (Windows 10). But when I open any .cfm file in Eclipse or even in a Notepad, I get the content - such as the following - that is not readable. It was not happening before. How can I make the files readable again?

Folks,I am trying to signature the SOAP request through digital certificates. It is provided by client.I installed the certificates in both key-stores JAVA and ColdFusion cacerts(\lib\security\cacerts). I verified by key-store get instance. In addition, I followed two different approaches.METHOD 1I am using the cfhttp tag for send request and this tag has clientCert and clientCertPassword attributes. So I wrote the code like,<cfhttp url="#arguments.endpoint#" method="POST" result="local.result" clientcertpassword="#variables.constants.keyStorePassword#" clientcert="D:/ColdFusion2016/jre1.8.0_131/lib/security/sign.pkcs12"> <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Accept-Encoding" value="gzip,deflate" /> <cfhttpparam type="header" name="SOAPAction" value="#arguments.soapAction#" /> <cfhttpparam type="header" name="Content-Type" value="text/xml;charset=UTF-8" /> <cfhttpparam type="xml" value="#toString(xmlParse( arguments.soapEnvelope ))#" /></cfhttp>It is retu

Hello!We have a system running on Cold Fusion. The server was running on CF7 and we upgraded it to CF11 and now the isDefined are not working anymore.To be honest I do very few Cold Fusion coding, it's an old system that was not maintained that I just got and I have to manage. I am learning everything.I've read that isDefined is not the best and would be better to use structKeyExists instead. The problem is there is more than 1900 files and 3000 isDefined to change.Example :This line marks an error :<cfif not isdefined("caller.#attributes.prefix_mandatory##fldname#") or  (isdefined("caller.#attributes.prefix_mandatory##fldname#") and trim(evaluate("caller.#attributes.prefix_mandatory##fldname#")) is "")>Which I corrected and works fine :<cfif not structKeyExists(caller, '#attributes.prefix_mandatory##fldname#') or (structKeyExists(caller,'#attributes.prefix_mandatory##fldname#"') and trim(evaluate("caller.#attributes.prefix_mandatory##fldname#")) is "")>Error message :

hello alli might not be the dumbest of system admins here, but i feel utterly left alone on the CF 2016 update 5 page:ColdFusion (2016 release) Update 5 in there, it says JRE needs to be updated.  so far, so ok.  it say 'for 32 bit coldfusion, use 32 bit jre'.  i can also understand that.on this page: How to change/upgrade JDK version of ColdFusion server | Adobe ColdFusion Blog , i found on how to do that.  there is a download page linking there for downloading JRE: Java SE - Downloads | Oracle Technology Network | Oracle .  if i choose SE 8 Server JRE, i get here: Server JRE (Java SE Runtime Environment) 8 Downloads problem: i run coldfusion in 32 bit mode due to some older cfx tags which we still need.  on the page above, there is no 32 bit version of JRE...what am i supposed to do?thanks for any help and insights.lukas
