I am running a Windows Server Standard VM using VMWare with 4GB RAM and a 32  bit OS. Everything has been fine until about a week ago when emails stopped  going out. My ColdFusion Email settings are:Connection Timeout 60 secondsSpool Interval 30 secondsSpool mail  messages for delivery is checkedWhat happens is the emails go to the spooler folder just fine but they then  get moved to the undelivered folder. BUT, when I manually move them from the  undelivered folder to the spool folder, they then go out just fine.My mail log file says "Error","Scheduler-1","05/22/13","14:07:24",,"failed to  connect" for every email.Thanks for any helpDave

I'm a little new to using cfinput. I always use HTML input. I have radio buttons for gender. When the form is submitted, the value is entered into a db column 1 or 2: <cfinput name="g" id="g" type="radio" value="1" required="yes" />  F<cfinput name="g" id="g" type="radio" value="2" /> I want to check one by default depending on the value stored in the db column when the form loads. I'm able to use a CFIF statement to check one by default in the HTML radio like: <cfif rs.g eq 1>checked="true"</cfif> but you're not allowed to have cfif in a single cfinput tag. How do I do it.

Got a massege saying Form is meant for website developer for debuggin purposes.  Error occurred while processing request of life insurance through Acuuquote. Please help me. Thank you.

Hello, everyone. I'm working on a script that will delete specific SOLR collections, re-create them, index them, then optimize them. The delete portion succeeds. The create, however, is failing with a permissions issue: access denied ("java.io.FilePermission" "X:\www\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\collections\xyz" "read") What the heck is it trying to "read" when creating a collection with a CFCOLLECTION tag?? <cfcollection action="create" collection="xyz"     categories="no" path="X:\www\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\collections\xyz"     language="English" engine="solr">It runs fine if sandbox is disabled. This is not an option. Can anyone, please, help fix this? Sandbox gives the CF account Read,Write,Execute on EVERYTHING.^_^

RE: <a href="http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa13-03.html">http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa13-03.html</a> Open letter to Adobe…  Adobe, Please assign someone to trend all the ColdFusion vulnerabilities for the last five years. I am certain you'll find that a vast majority of them revolve around the CFIDE directory. Idea: Instead of endlessly patching the CFIDE modules every time a vulnerability is found or exploited, if you were to eliminate the CFIDE directory ColdFusion would probably be one of the more secure web platforms on the market. Just a thought. For users of ColdFusion, my advice is to remove the CFIDE virtual directory from all your public facing sites. If your site requires the CFIDE/scripts directory, point the CFIDE virtual directory to an empty directory and then create a "scripts" virtual directory under it and point it to the original /CFIDE/scripts location. Poof -- probably 80% or more of t

This has never happened to me: something actually works in IE and NOT in FF! Current version of FF is 3.06. The CFdatefield input does not function in any Mozilla-based browser and throws a Javascript error: Error: "_f is undefined" "Source File: http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/package/cfcalendar.js" This points to a line in the JS: "ColdFusion.Calendar.setUpCalendar=function(_6,_7,_8,_9,_a,_b,_c){ var _d=ColdFusion.DOM.getElement(_6+_b+"_cf_button",_b); var _e=ColdFusion.DOM.getElement(_6,_b); var _f=null; var _10=null; if(_e.value!=""){ _f=_e.value; _10=_f.split("/"); } " Where the last two lines seem to have a problem. Can anyone help? This appears to be either a new issue (with a new release of FF maybe) or it's a local issue with my code (everything is possible I guess :). Robert
