Questions

Windows 2008 Server , IIS 7 , SQL Server 2012 and ColdFusion 10/9 . In ColdFusion 9, I had all my datasources using integrated authentication by running the ColdFusion Application Server under a windows account and then giving that user account access to the databases. Then while creating the datasource just leave the username and password blank and voila it connects.  By doing this I could stick with the Windows only authentication policy for SQL Server and did not have to enable any SQL logins. When I migrated to ColdFusion 10 none of the datasources work anymore in the same scenario. It gives a JDBC error. I double checked the services and made sure that the ColdFusion Application Server process is running under the correct user but no luck. Has something changed ? Thanks

I'm looking to purchase ColdFusion 10, but am unsure how many copies I should order. We want the software on two virtual servers that will be running simultaneously (one intranet/one external). The FAQ is a little confusing with the '2 CPUs." Does anyone an answer for this?

I have an app on a CF 8.01 server that uses CFHTTP to call the Google AdWords SOAP API via SSL.  It recently started throwing errors on the CFHTTP calls, apaprently due to a bad cert for the adwords site - The ErrorDetail in the CFHTTP results is "I/O Exception: Name in certificate 'google.com' does not match host name 'adwords.google.com'"In the past when I've had an error like this, all I needed to do was to browse to the WSDL URL for the SOAP service, download the new DER format cert, run keytool to import it, restart, and that was that.  I did that this time, and it didn't change the error.  The results of the keytool import were successful - I can do a -list and see the new cert info. I also made sure to restart CF after each keytool import.I have another server that is running CF9, and when I move my code over to it, it runs just fine, so I figured it must have a more recent certstore. but when I dump it's certstore with -list and look, there are no certs in it for

I am in the process of moving several sites from MX7 to CF9.  This is my first experience with CF9 and migrating so I am wondering if I am just missing something obvious.I have one site that works fine in FireFox, Chrome and Safari but just will not work in IE.The site requires a login and authenticates the user name and password against Active Directory using the CFLDAP tag.In FF, Chrome and Safari I can log in, navigate all around, add/edit/delete records, run reports, etc. with absoultely no problems.But IE won't work. I can do the initial login and get to the home page but when I attempt to navigate to another page in the site it goes back to a login screen. It used to work in IE when it was on the MX7 server. But since moving it over I can't access it with IE. I did run Code Analyzer on the files when I moved them over to the new server and Code Analyzer only found a few minor errors that I resolved. Are there some special settings or Application.cfc entries that are needed f

Currently CFID and CFTOKEN appear in the URL of certain pages, such as 404.cfm. I do not wish for those parameters and values to appear in my URLs. I thought by setting setClientCookies to false that would resolve the issue, but I guess I'm mistaken that setClientCookies does that?I restarted the ColdFusion server after making the code change to application.cfcI'm using CF9 on my local machine.<cfset THIS.name = "myLocalTest" /><cfset THIS.ApplicationTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(2,0,0,0) /><cfset THIS.SessionManagement = true /> <cfset THIS.SessionTimeout = CreateTimeSpan(0,0,30,0) /><cfset THIS.setClientCookies = false />Am I missing something?Thank you!

Is there documentation on this? We have CF10 installed on one Linux server and would like to connect it to Apache installed on a second Linux box.

Since cfloginuser is to login web server,I would like to know do I need create user ID and password at CF10 server or just use my table to check if user ID,  and password are correct then assign user role.Your information and help is great appreciated,Regards,Iccsi

I can use Application.Datasource to assign a datasource for the application.I would like to know the web site can only has one datasource.If my web site has more than one database on the different database server then am I able to assign the second datasource for the application or I need to assign every time if I have more than one datasource for the application,Your help and information is great appreciated,Regards,Iccsi

Hey Everyone, I have a very basic app that plugs data into a stored procedure which in turn returns a recordset. I've been experiencing what I thought were 'timeouts'. However, I'm now no longer convinced that this is what is really happening. The reason why is that the DBA and I watched sql server spotlight to see when the sproc was finished processsing. As soon as the procedure finished processing and returned a recordset, the CF page returned a 'timeout' error. I'm finding this to be consistent whenever the procedure takes longer than a minute. To prove this, I created a stored procedure with nothing more than this:BEGIN  WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:45';          SELECT TOP 1000 * FROM AnyTableNameENDIf I run it for 59 seconds I get a result back in CF. If I change it to on minute:WAITFOR DELAY '00:01';I get a cfstoredproc timeout error. I've tried running this in different instances of CF on the same server, different databases/datasources

I am hosting a web service on my production server.  I have been unable to call it remotely.  So I tried calling it from the Prod server via url instead of component, and it fails.<cfinvoke                      component="xcom.xcomServices"                     method="couponProcess"                     returnvariable="coupRet">                                          <cfinvokeargument name="theCouponSource" value="normal">             &nb

I have been having issues with my titles not showing up on my CF pages. I finally looked at the page source in the browser and found that CF is inserting extra <html>, <head> and <body> tags at the beginning of the pages. (see samples below). I'm pretty sure it is the CF engine that is doing this because I took a cfm page and just changed the extension to html and everything worked fine (except the CF code). There weren't any extra tags inserted and the titles was displayed. I also noticed that the CF engine appears to be adding the very first line <!DOCTYPE HTML ...>Does anyone know why this might be happening?ThanksDavidCF Page - notice extra tags in red<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head> <title>Untitled</title></head><body></body></html><html><head> <style type="text/css"><!--BODY{ font-weight: normal; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; backgro

CF 8,0,0,176276 Jrun downloading malware, will update of hotfix help?

I'd like to add clickable expanding/contracting text areas to my pages, as in the default is showing the short description, and clicking shows the long one.Is there any tag in ColdFusion that facilitates that? (I'm a bit rusty on my coding skills, as you can tell . . .)Karen

CF10 Standard Edition 64 bit, Windows 2012, IIS 8. Initially I installed the CF10 before moving the CF8 sites to the new server. I added the IIS and DNS records manually ahead of moving the site files to minimize downtime. Done this before. Lots of 404 Page not Found errors until we learned that every domain needed a virtual directory for CFIDE and jakarta. A few of the domains started to take shape, but eventually the CF Admin went blank. No error, no login - gone.This morning I uninstalled and reinstalled CF10 and noted that all of the IIS entries had the virtual directory mapping included if they hadn't alreaday. But still no CFAdmin, which makes everything else kind of pointless. Instead of going forward, we punted and reactivated the old server where the CF8 chugging along which keeps my clients happy. Because I cannot login to the CFAdmin, I cannot tell you  the build version was but I did purchase it on April 3rd and downloaded it the same day so I'd hope the install exe wa

CF10 on IIS 7I have a webservice set up that needs to be called from a remote server.  It is set to access="remote". It works fine when called from the local machine.  But calling it from a remote server fails.  I can perform an HTTP Get and pull down the WSDL from the remote machine, but when I attempt to invoke the web service remotely, I receive the "Could not find the ColdFusion component or interface...." error.  The incredibly odd thing is that if I intentionally break the CFC, outputing an undefined variable or something, the error is returned to the remote request!Is there some new setting that I must change to allow for remote invocations?This is on a PCI compliant subnet.  Could firewalls be blocking the CFC interaction?  Do CFC's return on a separate port or something?  Could the headers be blocked? 

We have a production system currently running on CF9 and we're attempting to migrate everything to CF10 and ran into some wierd issues.   1) we have alot of CFC's in our application that are accessed by various .net applications via webservice.    for some reason, invoking the webservice call just hangs on the CF10 server.  we see it as a unresponsive request.  it seems to time out after 5 or 10 minutes.  2) we have a couple of .NET implemented webservices provided by 3rd party vendors for payment processing.  when we did CFIDE archive/deploy from CF9 to CF10 to get these into CFIDE, they imported.  however when I refresh on one of these, I get error "Variable WS not defined line 233" in CFIDE/extensions/webservice.cfm in the application log.     if I delete the webservice entry and try to readd it,  "Error creating web service. Please ensure that you have entered a correct Web Service name or URL."  with n

I created a datasource from my CF admin using JDBC/Oracle Thin Client. The datasource creation was successful.When Oracle encryption is configured as "Requested" I can browse my CF app. and ran many functionalities with no problemBut when the Oracle encryption is configured as "Required" the connection failed.The way I tested and know that it was failed was when I login in to my web app. It won't log me in. But when the Oracle is switched back as "Requested"I can login successfully and ran may tasks.I have CF8 Enterprise version in UnixFrom the network dept, I was told they have the correct JAR file in place but did not tell me what is the correct JAR fileCurrently my web apps are running with datasource created using Oracle Thin Clint but the Oracle encryption needs to be switched back to "Requested" otherwise my users are complaining that they can't login.Where should I go from here???? has anyone ever experienced this situation and found a solution? What is going on with my situatio

I just ran the 9.1 update for CF and now the administrator page will not load, the site runs but that is it I know I'm missing something. I have rebooted the server. No change and all the services are running. I am on the server not trying remotely .Message was edited by: Norman Rothwell

Could anybody tell me if there is anyway to log requests times of all queries?I have a recent issue where I've started to get deadlock issues with my SQL. There are so many pertential permitations from the SQL queries based on individual users and other data that I'm having a hard time figuring/replicating  which queries might be taking too long and under what circumstancesThanksMark

In the cffunction tag in a CFC function that returns data to an Ajax client, specify a verifyClient attribute with a value of yes.The VerifyClient function and attribute tell ColdFusion to require an encrypted security token in each request. To use this function, enable client management or session management in your application; otherwise, you do not get an error, but ColdFusion does not verify clients.Enable client verification only for code that responds to ColdFusion Ajax client code, because only the ColdFusion Ajax library contains the client-side support code. Enabling client verification for clients other than ColdFusion Ajax applications can result in the client application not running.Before you ask, session and client management is on, cfadmin is set up properly, I am logged in, I display my sessionid and urltoken at bottom of pages on development server, all is good, exept this of course.AJAX call:$.ajax({   url: 'somecrap.cfc?method=validateForm&' + Math.rand

Hey all.  We have a ColdFusion 10 Standard Server on IIS 7.5 in Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter (Virtualized) and have been having the oddest issue that I've been opening up forum posts and support tickets and have not resolved.In short, CF will render up the page randomly.  On 1 call, all of the page is shown.  On another, nothing.  On another, part of the page's code is generated.  I use the Web Developer Toolbar and on the full page loads, nothing shows any fault (200 and 300 codes).  But on the no or partial page load, the WDT shows ERR 101 (Connection Reset) and ERR 103 (Connection Aborted).I have tried a myriad of things to no avail and am asking if anyone has ideas I can look into.  I know that this could be CF, IIS, the Server, how the network is setup, etc.  But I think to get to a solution, I have to start ruling things out.  I am able to remote to the server and bring up the CF Admin, request as many pages in it as I like, and it loads

I actually hads this working and without warning I am now getting this error message in the IDE Console.Error retrieving server version. Cannot perform the operation. Check if the server is accessible from web browser.Well it is running fine, I can browse the website I can even enter the administrator. But when I try to stop the server or restart the server this is the error I get.I have looked at everything, running the IDE as an administrator. Making sure the firewall is off on both machines, and yet nothing I do has worked.Anyone know how to fix this?
