Questions

So, I just tried to look up my bookmark to the Adobe ColdFusion Wiki only to be met with an SSL certificate error.  Thinking, surely this was a mistake, I added an exception in FireFox and continued only to get redirected to a supposedly new CFML Reference at helpx.adobe.com.Who is in charge of this bonehead move? First off, the new docs can't be edited by the community like the Wiki could.  God knows they needed help. Second, there's no search?  Only a "Community Search" (whatever that is) that returns: "Error 413 Header too large" when I search anything.  Listen, Einstein, if I'm in the reference I don't want to search the Community!  I want to search the REFERENCE to quickly find what I need.  Oh wait, there's a Search link up top.  Let's use that.  Search: CFPDF.  After waiting 25 seconds for results to come back I get nothing but links to the ColdFusion 9 docs?  Brilliant!The level of stupidity in this move by Adobe is hard to comp

I'm a new CF developer and I've been working with Visual Studio and team foundation for several years prior to migrating to Coldfusion, so in advance please pardon my ignorance.We are going to be using ColdFusion Builder 2 as our primary development IDE on our initial development environment. Where my confusion begins is with version control and the potential for additional required software. We will have multiple developers working on various pages, templates, etc. and we've been trying to figure out how to best handle version control. Despite my research I really can't figure out what version control tools(Apache Subversion, TortoiseSVN - Home, etc.)  are directly compatible with CF Builder or which are the most recommended. I've reached out to Adobe for their recommendations and haven't received a response, so I figured I'd ask here.

Hi,Sorry to ask but I am struck and don't know where to go on.  Any suggestions are appreciated. Here is the structure of the site.  All the components are inside the components directory.  With et directory, I'd like to create an Application.cfc for that.  Files in et directory will call up functions in components directory.  I tried to create this.mappings in et Application.cfc but don't seem to recognize or work.  What do I need in sub Application.cfc (et folder) to call components?Application.cfc (root application.cfc)-components folder-ce folder-et folder     - Application.cfc     -index.cfm     -test.cfmWith the root Application.cfc, it has the following:<cfcomponent displayname="Application" output="true" hint="Handle the application."> <!--- set up per application mappings --->  <cfset this.mappings = {}>  <cfset this.mappings["/components"] = GetDirectoryFro

I'm using CF 9 on windows 8 64bitThis is probably a simple solution. I have a form that will list all of the members of our church club from a given date that is selected from a form field. After the date is selected I will press my submit button and I expect to see the date listed with all of the members that were in the class listed as well. However I am experiencing an error when the page generates. This error reads “The value returned from the meedate function is not of type date.”How can I pass a date variable into my CFC so that it will pass through correctly and display my desired results. Below is the code of my CFC that I am calling as well as the Coding for the page that should display the desired results. The particular function that I am referring to is entitled "brother" of the component called “brother”, and the error code throw when it encounters the variable called '#meetingdate#'. Please let me know if If I am missing something. Thanks in advance for your help. <!--

I'm following this instruction, ColdFusion Help | REMatchNoCase. So I tried this:sites = "training-me";result = REMatchNoCase("/training/", sites);writeOutput(#result#);But I kept getting Internal Server Error. Any help is much appreciated.

We are a very large ColdFusion house in Australia, we have been been supporting a ColdFusion app for the last 10 years and are having a performance issue that we have not seen before.We upgraded from CF9 => CF 11 around a month ago and servers have around 1 week of up time before they experience this issue. We see it as very slow request times (average = around 30-60 seconds instead of <1 second).Whilst the server is in this state, lots of threads are "Waiting on Condition", however until a traditional wait, there is nothing in the stack trace to indicate what resource is being waited for. A restart of the CF service immediately restores performance.  This graph (the orange line is avg execution time, blue is count requests) gives an idea of the severity of the problem. Also the affect of the restart (the tail of the orange line on the RHS)GC logs indicate that it is not caused by STW gc.Here you can see lots of workers Waiting for Condition (the purple bits). These stack tr

Several times now after the CF11 service has restarted apps that use cfchart get an access denied error (from Sandbox Security) but the path referenced in the error is incorrect. The error is as follows:"Error","ajp-bio-8012-exec-1","08/27/15","17:35:31","Lab Notebook","access denied (""java.io.FilePermission"" ""C:\website\ajax\messages\cfmessage_en_US_.js"" ""read"") The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\website\labnotebook\auth\viewnotebooks.cfm, line: 714 "The error clears up after logging into ColdFusion Admin for the instance.I know the path should be to the CFIDE/Scripts directory (/cfscripts virtual directory in IIS) but I'm not sure why ColdFusion is putting the incorrect path initially.I have not tested without Sandbox Security enabled but will test and report soon.

I don't think a doc site needs https, but it does so with a deprecated SHA-1 algorithm and Chrome shows an ugly warning icon for the URL.  This doesn't give confidence to any new CF developers.No tree control for secondary navigation anymore on the lower leftSearch is dumb and slow, for instance if you search 'cfloop', it returns results from CF9 and Cf10 instead of the actual https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-tags/tags-j-l/cfloop.htmlPlease quickly add a comment module like Disqus or even Facebook comment, it's essential to quickly point out mistakes in the doc in case the doc is not updated.  It's too valuable to not have one.

There is at present little to no documentation on using servlets directly in ColdFusion 10. The little documentation there is, is wrong. Please vote for the bug report.

I'd like to demo cfreport using a demo .cfr file...would there be a repository for example code in CF?What's in a .cfr, is it like a css file?Kevin

I just got on to the Adobe ColdFusion community page and was looking through the various questions.  Then I noticed that to the right on the page there are links to Adobe ColdFusion documentation, but only for CF 10 and 9.  Doesn't Adobe plan on updating this?  The budget for the ColdFusion team must be getting smaller by the day, because Adobe doesn't seem to be supporting ColdFusion much at all. For example, as I read on some other people's posts, when you go to the new ColdFusion 11 support page and do a community search, you only get results for 9 and 10. Doesn't someone have the job at Adobe to keep this stuff updated?  This is disappointing.

I'm Creating a cfchart for showing current & future projection reportSo i need to customize chart like thisin cfchartseries  Upto current date should be normal curve line & future date should be dotted curve lines ..Is it possible?Thanks In advance,

So I've been trying to get cold fusion 11 to work properly inside both Jboss 6.1 and Tomcat 7.0.57 with limited success.  It takes at least 5 minutes to move past "loading security..." and when it does the entire JVM seems very strongly bogged down, and only competes it's deployments of all the standard tomcat wars in 562259 ms.  Without cold fusion inside tomcat, it starts in 1823 ms.When I run the default CF11 standalone install, everything seems to work quite snappily on the same box.  As stated in other threads I'm seeing the "... Connect to 127.0.0.1:8987 [/127.0.0.1] failed: Connection refused http://127.0.0.1:8987/PDFgServlet/" error as well as a few other artifacts and slow pages.I will happily supply logs and details as requested to help me understand what is going on inside ColdFusion, to hopefully find a solution or work-around.Here are the details of the environment:CF Version: 11,0,06,295053Tomcat 7.0.57Java 1.7.0_71RHEL 6.7Oracle instantclient 12_1Thanks--

Can ColdFusion 10 connect to Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 (https://outlook.office365.com/owa/) server?  Setting values for CF10 "exchangeServerVersion"  are documented as 2003, 2007. or 2010. Does CF11 have this capability? 

I am considering leaving hosting.com all together because of their slow response times in the last year or so to my issues and their upgrade paths on CF kinda stink.Has anyone here tried the Amazon AWS hosting with CF 11?Any pitfalls to be away of?How does it perform?How is their support?Any advice here would be great.

keep getting an error about akamai downloader not supported on all my machines.  I'm notting getting into a rant on how unnecessary/user-hostile this is.  my question is this.  how do I get this if I need the software now???

Its been a while since I have used cfpdf tag and needed some help. I have a page http://www.mysite.com/mypage.cfm?ID=1234 that works great.When the user chooses that link since its a .cfm page it opens in a browser. No Problem.But my user needs to be able to have this page as a PDF so they can save itIs there a way when the user chooses that link it can automatically be turned into a PDF that they can save to their desktop?So instead of opening as a cfm page it would open as a pdf?

Hi everyone!I have a problem. I inherited a pretty large coldfusion/javascript website, and I've been asked to begin transferring the cfm files into Java EE. The idea is to replace the existing environment (CF 9 Standard) to Java EE. The javascript will probably remain the same.I used these instructions to call a jsp/servlet from Coldfusion:Adobe ColdFusion 9 * Interoperating with JSP pages and servletsThe issue is that I'm finding it difficult to call jsp or class files from Coldfusion. What's worse is I can't seem to call them from the javascript either. So I'm wondering if the Coldfusion 9 Standard web server is capable of calling external java. I found this on possible incompatibility, but it doesn't cite a source:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21489377/jrun-http-500-response-error-hander-not-working-with-cf-standard 

A little background. Server is with hosting.com and is a VPS runningCF 9,0,1,274733 on JVM 1.6.0_14Long story short I need to get to CF 9.0.2 running JVM 1.7 because of some new SHA-256 upgrades amazon made on their XML feeds etc.Is there any way to get to 9.0.2 from 9.0.1 without an uninstall and reinstall?Secondly I am considering leaving hosting.com all together because of their slow response times in the last year or so to my issues. Has anyone here tried the Amazon AWS hosting with CF 11? Any pitfalls to be away of? How does it perform? How is their support? any advice here would be great.

Hello guys. Unfortunately I am not an expert in coldfusion. I have a simple question.I would like to implement a combo box with a dropdown menu.This dropdown menu will displays peoples names and an option "add a new name' at the bottom. If user chose the option 'add a new name' a modal window will pops up to edit a new name.Is this solution possible?

Hi, We have installed Update6 on several Win2012 R2 64-bit servers, but one just failed with command-line errors:"failed to add duplicate collection element "/jakarta" "failed to add duplicate collection element "/CFIDE"CF did not appear to be starting, and when browsing, we got this error:HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error. Calling GetFilterVersion on ISAPI filter "F:\CF11\config\wsconfig\1\isapi_redirect.dll" failed.Rebuilding the Connector did not help. The old Connectors had to be manually removed.Uninstalling Update6 required the manual removal, but CF is still not starting. We get the same HTTP Error 500.0, when browsing either .htm or .cfm files.Any ideas?(we've opened an Adobe support case).thank you(also posted at http://blogs.coldfusion.com/post.cfm/coldfusion-11-update-6-and-coldfusion-10-update-17-now-available)

Hi,I've a few coldfusion server running on our production. time to time mail connection verification failed randomly . the strange thing is that , while one server is failing to connect to SMTP server, the other servers are still connecting to the same SMTP server with the same SMTP server address and user credential . I don't do any changes on the failing server at all.  we use AWS SES SMTP over TLS connection. when the server fail to connect to AWS SES over TLS , I change it to other SMTP server over standard 25 port with without TLS -- and it works fine.the same server, I can send out email via windows command line using the same AWS SMTP with the same user credential no problem, but CF can't verified the connection so I am pretty sure this has something to do with CF.I've gone through all of the logs and I couldn't find any useful error logs for this.hoping if someone can help me with this issue...Thanks

When outputting meta data from SharePoint Foundation 2010 using cfsharepoint I am noticing datetimes are being converted to the following format:  0x01cf2d81|0x71c80a00How do I convert this to a regular date using ColdFusion?  I have found some references to this issue here http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/66602/dates-and-times-in-properties-vs-fields/91069#91069 which shows a solution like this://fieldValue looks like "0x01cf2f8e|0x6e559e00"string fieldValue = listItem.Properties[dateFieldName]string hexValue = fieldValue.Replace("|", "").Replace("0x", "");long ticks = long.Parse(hexvalue, NumberStyles.HexNumber);DateTime date1 = DateTime.FromBinary(ticks).AddYears(1600);But I have no idea how to do this in ColdFusion.  Apparently the hex value represents the number of ticks since 1st Jan 1600.  Crazy, I know.Any ideas??  Thanks.
