Questions

Hi,I am trying to install the latest (as of Monday, 07July2014) CF11 release on an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system. I know, 14.04 is not officially supported, but the differences between 13.10 and 14.04, at least Apache-wise, are minimal if any. Whenn trying to tell the installer where the Apache binary is located, and supplying the correct Apache 2.4.7 path to /usr/sbin/apache, the installer claims that the file does not exist. I also tried the (incorrect) recommendation posted by others elsewhere of pointing to the shell script /usr/sbin/apache2ctl, but it fails with the same error.Thanks,Ian

I have to move a few sites to a windows 2008 R2 Currently it is using coldfusion with IIS. I need to also get Apache2 to connect to Coldfusion  at the same time as IIS. Is this possible with the version that I have, and any one know any good places to look for info on how to do this.

I can't no longer download the 30 days trial for CF 10, all I can see is CF 11 when I go to http://www.adobe.com/go/trycoldfusion/ It is OK for me to try CF 11, it is not a problem because I have not submitted a purchase request to my department. I have no difficulties installing CF 11 on my Windows 8, the problem is on how to configure CF to work with IIS or vice versa. I found some suggestion to modify IIS8 into IIS7, I did it but I still can't get it to work with CF11. Now I already have IIS 7 instead of 8 and I still can't open my website nor CF administrator. I got internal server error message 500. Is this because I have to install some CF hot fixes or something else? there are not too many tutorials out there with CF 10 or 111 and Windows 8 IIS. Is there any easy step by step instruction either from Adobe or someone who has successfully install CF10 or 11 and don't mind sharing it with me?

I only want to print a page if two conditions are met. On each section I am using the following Print When Condition:DateFormat(query.asofdate, "mm/dd/yyyy") NEQ DateFormat(calc.AmtDate, "mm/dd/yyyy")  AND LSNumberFormat((query.bal + calc.anticipated), "_.__") LTE LSNumberFormat(25.00, "_.__").The date check works great by itself and the amount check works great by itself but I can't get them to work together. Any ideas?I am using CF10.

I have a done a CFQUERY and retrieve user's email and name.  Then I try to do a CFMAIL something like:<cfmail to="#user.email#" from="sender@somewhere.com" subject="Message from #sender_name#" type="html"><table><tr><td>Dear #receiver_name#</td></tr><tr><td>#form.message#</td></tr></table></cfmail>This seems to work with CFMAIL and the variables are being populated properly.  However, when I placed the content into a template content.cfm because I want to use it somewhere else as well. So content.cfm has:<table><tr><td>Dear #receiver_name#</td></tr><tr><td>#form.message#</td></tr></table>and the program became:<cfmail to="#user.email#" from="sender@somewhere.com" subject="Message from #sender_name#" type="html"><cfinclue template="content.cfm"></cfmail>Now the problem is, I am NOT getting the variables (#receiver_name# and#form.

HiMy custom number formatting function does not work. It was working fine when the site had a standard client server architecture. However, when we changed to using REST API with javascript and HTML5 the function works for most parts except cases when I need it to display 0's for decimals.Basically, the function takes arguments a number and number of decimals and, returns the number rounded to the number of decimals passed. Below, I stripped the function to bare minimum, same as I was testing.<cffunction name="dispCostPeriod" access="remote" returntype="string" output="false" hint="Displays costs for a given period to user">     <cfargument name="in_decCost" type="numeric" required="yes" />     <cfargument name="in_iRound" type="numeric" required="yes" />        <cfset decRoundedNum = NumberFormat(in_decCost, "_." & RepeatString("9",in_iRound))>     <cfreturn decRoun

I want to send any command to my virtual port to open a cash drawer ?thanks

My company just made the mistake of upgrading to Dreamweaver CC 2014. Dreamweaver now has virtually no ColdFusion support. Even Ben Forte recommends using other non-Adobe editors for server-side CF coding (http://forta.com/blog/index.cfm/2013/6/30/On-Dreamweaver-CC-And-ColdFusion). He does recommend Dreamweaver for client-side coding but most of the projects at my work involve both client- and server-side coding.Adobe, please get your act together. This screw up on our part (for buying in to the "upgrade, CC is great!" campaign) or your Dreamweaver team just ignited another “why CF?” argument at my work and I’m getting tired of getting beat up defending your apparent product incohesive missteps -- intentional or not.

Hello,I was curious if it was possible to dynamically create an implicit structure where you might occasionally want to omit some keys from being added to the structure?I played around with using ternary operators in the structure creation with no luck. <cfset temp = {     name = "Dave",     (1 IS 1 ? "" : Job  =  "Superhero")  } />The only way I can see doing this now would be to create the structure and then use StructKeyDelete on the keys I want to remove OR build structures the traditional way and cfif my way around the keys I don't want to add."Ex: <cfset structKeyDelete(temp,"Job") />or<cfset temp = structNew() /><cfset temp.name = "Dave" /><cfif 1 NEQ 1>      <cfset temp.job = "Superhero" /></cfif>Does anyone know how to create dynamic keys in a structure while defining it implicitly? Thanks!

I have come across a very interesting error when doing a query of a query inside a CFSCRIPT tag...I get a result set back from a SQL Server stored procedure.  It is a list of metric names (METRIC_ID) and the actual metric measurements.I need to pull the METRIC_ID from this result set to do a JOIN on another query that has display and other formatting attributes for display in a web page.The following code executes with no errors when the query is unordered:var displayDataQuery = new Query();displayDataQuery.setName("joinedQuery");displayDataQuery.setDBType("query");displayDataQuery.setAttributes(qry1 = fullMetricsListQuery);displayDataQuery.setAttributes(qry2 = arguments.cubeData);displayDataQuery.setSQL("SELECT METRIC_ID FROM qry2");var tempResultSet = displayDataQuery.execute();var cubeMetricIDList = tempResultSet.getResult();When I take the same exact query results from the same stored procedure, but it's ordered by an ORDER BY clause, this statement;var tempResultSet = display

I have coldfusion 11 running on windows 2003 server 32bits and I get today such error when trying to access datasource MS Access with Unicode :Connection verification failed for data source: clicalbumcom.inzoom.adojni.ComException: Erreur non spécifiéeThe root cause was that: com.inzoom.adojni.ComException: Erreur non spécifiée in Microsoft JET Database Engine code=0 Type=1This error has appeared suddenly.

I have been recently approached by a client that has an older site that was originally created on the ColdFusion platform, where the shopping cart merchant gateway has changed to a new provider and their merchant account credentials must be changed to continue taking orders. The original site developer is no longer available and I have been approached to make the update. I work with other Adobe Applications but am not too familiar with CF. Can anyone suggest where in the system I could change the merchant payment gateway credentials?Thanks

Has anyone else run into a problem with downloading XLT files in this environment that produce a "your file may be corrupted" window when you choose Open, then has Enable Editing button which, if clicked, shows a corrupted file?  Yet XLS of the same file (produced from the same XLT) opens up just fine and dandy with no need to enable editing?  Were you able to solve this somehow?

I am upgrading my company's servers from CF 8 to CF 11 and have been having issues with the cflayout tab (which I know shouldn't be used anymore, but it is for thetime being). The code ran great on 8, but is now breaking on CF 11 in regards to using cfchart inside cflayout (sourced file). A code snippet is below:<cfajaximport tags="cfform">    <cfajaximport tags="cflayout-tab">    <script type="text/javascript" charset='utf-8' src='/CFIDE/scripts/CF_RunActiveContent.js'></script>.....<cflayout type="tab" name="TMLayout#attributes.keeperid#" tabheight="345" >       <cflayoutarea title="Dashboard" refreshonactivate="true" source="index.cfm?fa=#xfa.tabdashboard#" name="Dashboard" style="overflow-y: scroll;">  </cflayoutarea>.......The source file simply has a pie chart in it and the rest of my tabs that don't have charts run just fine. Have there been any changes in terms of ajaximport or

Forgive me if I have missed something but here is what I seem to think about Coldfusion report builder.1 - The v11 is the same as v10.2 - It hasn't changed really since it was first released.3 - It still isn't available for anything other than windows.4 - There seems to be a new option in CFreport to allow cystal report files to be served but the version of crystal is long since discontinued.. odd.so with that I can't help wonder:What exactly do adobe want you to use for building reports within coldfusion? Are they really wanting us to use something else? maybe Jasper?If I have a mac then are they saying that even though they have a product (coldfusion) that is developed to run on a mac (because they want mac users to use it) then you can't develop reports.Why would they add support for crystal v12 that is as old as me!what have I missed?

Could anybody tell me if there is a maximum number of sessions that can be active at any time and if so what that is and if it is effected by factors such as memory?This would be on a Windows Server 2008 64bit, with 4gig of RamThanksMark

Can be Cold Fusion Developer Edition used to develop the product and deliver to client?

I applied my Enterprise license key but the server shows Developer on clean install Win 2012RC2 64bit cloud svr with 4 CPUs and it said it was successful. After entering the license on install, I followed the suggestions here and put the key directly in license.properties, restarted CF, but it still shows Developer and watermarks appear.The vendor is trying to help resolve this issue as well and they have had so far no luck.I can send my key if someone an look into it

Hi All,In one of my application I need to generate report in Excel file where data contains huge,more than one lakh. Currently I am querying this from database and looping through a cfoutput tag to write data into an excel sheet. But the problem with this method is Timeout issue or java heapsize is very less.I think this is a drawback of coldfusion to write data in to Excel sheet. Right?? .  In this time we need to depend on Java to write huge data into Excel sheet. Why we cant achieve this in ColdFusion , eventhough CF is built on Java platform.Any one have any suggestions or any thoughts on this.Please share.Your timely help is greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to extract a substring in the WHERE clause of either <CFQUERY> or in a Query of Queries?  I am trying to use the following query to find all email addresses with the domain "comcast.net" (i.e. everything after the "@" in the email address).  I am querying an MS-Access database table. <cfquery name="test" datasource="membership">      SELECT email_address      FROM tblMembers      WHERE MID(email_address, INSTR(email_address, '@') + 1) = 'comcast.net' </cfquery>If I attempt this as a query, I get the error message "[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression."If I attempt it as a QoQ, I get the error message 'Encountered "MID ( email1 ,. Incorrect conditional expression, Expected one of [like|null|between|in|comparison] condition,'.I would be very grateful for any help on finding some
