Questions

Hi,I have just installed Colld Fusion 11 in the production environment.Some users are able to see the page that is using the cfajaximport and cflayoutarea functionality.One of the users is using IE 11. But I can see the page using IE 11. Some users are using IE 8 and 9.This issue did appear in CF 9, but the resolution was to clear the IE cache. In IE 11 this works sometimes.This affecting the users performing there important functions.Is there a solution to this issue?Thanks,Mike

We are currently using mostly CF11 but still have one production server with CF9.  We run Webinspect and Nessus scans are consistently getting vulnerabilities stating things like blind sql injection, xss, etc.  These are happening on URL variables even with pages that have no sql at all.  My general question is it a best practice to always encase all url variables in the urlencodedformat tag to protect them?  We do have a shop best practice of always using cfqueryparam to protect against other types of sql injection.

So we just installed cf9.02 64 bit on all brand new windows server 2003 machines and migrated all code over and we have run into the wierdest (and very dead on the water) issue, any form posting to a cf templae with a "large" amount of fields using method = "post"  barfs, works fine with method = "get" or with a smaller amount of fields.  Here are some "basic" examples I pulled out of our app:https://dev1.mystudentsprogress.com/testposting/smallform.html --> this is using method = "post" and works fine with a small number of fields, click save and it calls a cf template that simply says "index.cfm here"https://dev1.mystudentsprogress.com/testposting/formget.html ---> this is using method = "get" and also works fine, click save  and it calls a cf template that simply says "index.cfm here"https://dev1.mystudentsprogress.com/testposting/formpost.html --> this is using method = "post" and it barfs, click save and you get an error 500 page And once this happens the "

I have a brand new server which I installed the latest CF 9.02 installer on, am having a probelm instantiating .net component, this line:<cfobject type = ".NET"                   name = "TK"                   class = "APToolkitNET.Toolkit"                   assembly = "C:\Program Files\activePDF\Toolkit\DotNetComponent\2.0\APToolkitNET.dll">Results in this error:coldfusion.runtime.dotnet.ProxyGenerationExceptionat coldfusion.runtime.dotnet.ProxyGenerator._executeProxyGen(ProxyGenerator.java:192)at coldfusion.runtime.dotnet.ProxyGenerator.executeProxyGen(ProxyGenerator.java:149)at coldfusion.runtime.dotnet.ProxyGenerator.generateProxy(ProxyGenerator.java:118)at coldfusion.runtime.dotnet.Assembly.generateProxy(Assembly.java:299)at

It appears our CF9.02 ide has been "hacked", I have located a file that only exists on one of our servers date stamped with the date stamp of issues we are having it is located in ../CFIDE/debug/includes file name cf_debug_main.cfm , anyone else experience this? Or any clues as how this would have been placed here? Our firewall has all but port 80 and 443 locked down to this server from any ip address other than our office.

Hi,I want to show the value of the latest data point on my series. Thanks!

Sending email using cfmail doesn't work in scheduled task but it works from a page when accessed through the browser.

I can connect the mySQL database on rackspace cloud through ssh tunneling from mySQL workbench. Is there any way, where datasource can be created in ColdFusion for the same database through SSH tunneling. OR how to use such databases in ColdFusion application.

How to use dbase (.dbf) file in ColdFusion. How to connect the same, datasource creation and query to get data? This is for windows?

I've got an existing application written in CF9 that I am migrating to a new server. Is it possible to buy a CF9 license?Thanks!

There was another question that was similar to this, but the cause is different. With the other user, the problem was due to the uninstaller not being able to access the JRE.The problem is that when you click on the uninstaller, the pane comes up to show you that the uninstaller is loading, and then it quits. The following are the juicy parts of it quitting.I run:./uninstall.app/Contents/MacOS/uninstallAnd I get this: java.lang.StackOverflowError   at java.util.Vector$Itr.checkForComodification(Vector.java:1183)   at java.util.Vector$Itr.next(Vector.java:1137)   at com.zerog.ia.installer.util.VariableFinder.findNextVariable(Unknown Source)   at com.zerog.ia.installer.util.VariableManager.substitute(Unknown Source)with the last line repeated at least 1000 times.

New install.  Trying to log in to admin to check for hotfixes and updates but am told login and password are wrong.  Uninstalled and attempted again (twice).  Same results.  Probably missing something simple but it is escaping me at the moment.

Hi,The Java version for the Cold Fusion 11 in the Development and Test environments is: Java Version  1.7.0_51  The Java version for the Cold Fusion 11 in the production environment is Java Version  1.8.0_25 Is it possible to bring the development and test up to the Java version in production without installing the Cold Fusion build that was used in the production install?If so, how would this be done?Thanks,Mike

So, we're having a issue where some of our longer running processes are crashing with a 503 IIS error of Server Unavailable.  We have tried all the suggested settings of tuning the connectors using the "workers.properties" and "server.xml" files.  We've rebuilt all the connectors after the most recent updates.  I've even disabled IIS Rapid Fail.  But the issue continues to happen.We have CF11 Update 5, Win 2008 R2, IIS 7.The crash usually occurs at around 60 seconds of a page load.  All the timeout settings I can find I've set for 240 seconds or more yet we keep hitting this 60 second wall.The only thing that looks to be a clue is in the ISAPI logs which seems to show the connector constantly restarting.  Also, we suspect some of our processes are taking extra long to complete due to this known bug.  I believe this is related to an issue Ben Nadel has also blogged about. We've had huge processes in the past that took 4 to 5 minutes to complete without

For consumption of external web services, is there anyway to force all calls to use Axis 1 across the server?I know you can do it at the application level:this.wssettings.version.consume = "1";and at the invoking level:this.wsobj = createObject("webservice", wsUrl, {wsversion="1"});But I'm looking for a way to force it for all applications and invocations.I've tried to change the value under "Web Service Version" to "1" in the administrator, but it didn't work at all. I think this setting is just for web service publishing, not consumption.Thanks.Nick

I currently am using CF11 and I need to install the latest mySQL driver.  I have downloaded it but am unsure which folder it needs to go in.  Also, are there any configurations that need to be dealt with in CF Administrator for this new driver?The driver that I intend to install is mysql-connector-java-5.1.35-bin.jar

I've been developing CF for many years, but it's been a while since I built any CF apps from scratch and I'm looking for a good refresher. I'm especially looking for any book or tutorial in which one or more actual advanced CF applications are built over the course of the entire book, as opposed to just going over all the features chapter by chapter (like in the CF Web Application Construction Kit). I'll keep looking on my own, but just in case anyone knows of something off the top of their head, I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

I recently applied Hotfix Update 5 (hotfix_005.jar) through a silent install to one of my Sandbox Linux Servers. After doing this, I went to the Server Update->Updates->Installed Updates and see only "There are no installed updates". I then ran the interactive update and saw the message "this update has already been applied". Are there any other indicators in the CF11 Console that indicate that this update was made?Server DetailsServer ProductColdFusionVersion11,0,0,289974EditionEnterprise  Operating SystemUNIX  OS Version2.6.32-431.20.5.el6.x86_64  Adobe Driver Version5.1.1 (Build 0001)  Thanks!Doug

Hello, we're trying to debug problem we have with custom jar files that keep hanging our ColdFusion 11 instances with nothing being logged anywhere. One of the troubleshooting steps we want to do is to switch our new ColdFusion 11 Update 5 setup to run on JDK 1.7 instead of 1.8, because we know these jar files run just fine on our ColdFusion 9 JDK 1.7 platform. So, we repointed the instance we want to run in JDK 1.7 to correct JDK directory and tried to start the instance but the service will not start. We looked at the log file and Server Event Viewer shows this error: "... service terminated with the following-specific error: The system cannot find the file specified". The ColdFusion-our file doesn't have anything in it for that error (I don't think ColdFusion even gets to that point). The coldfusion-error.log file doesn't have anything specific either. Can someone help us debug this? Is there a way to increase the debug level so that we can get more info in ColdFusion log files? Tha

Running CF 11 on Ubuntu 14.x . Attempts to connect to a Sybase installation yields:java.sql.SQLException:nullIf I give it a bad username/pw combo I get a login FAIL, which is what I'd expect. I can't find info on the sybase jdbc driver - does it require certain versions of the Sybase to work? I believe this one is on Sybase 11.Thanks,N. Alexander

I had a motherboard fail on a server. We were in the middle of converting from SHA-1 to SHA-2 certificates. When we replaced the motherboard, CF9 seemed to work. But then we finalized the SHA-2 certificate and were advised to delete the older SHA-1 certificate. That was done and CF9 still seemed to work. Then we returned a month later to start using the server for production again and got errors that indicated we now had a developer edition rather than a standard edition. I changed the license serial number and it seemed we should be functional again. Now only the localhost (127.0.0.1) https admin section is functioning. No files https or http, cfm or html, are being delivered. The error is 404 or failure to connect but nothing is registered in the logs as to why templates are not working. I am not sure if the motherboard exchange is involved, IIS or the certificate -- or all three. I don't think the facts lead to ColdFusion 9 as being at the root of the problem, but still CF9 is not w
