Hi,I observe that in my application log file for CF 8 there is thousands of requests of a certain file that doesn't exist. These actually kill my server twice a month. Seems almost like a Dos-attack. I've sourced the files according to that specific application, but can't find any reference to that file in my code. It is requesting a IMG.cfm file. So where to look from where this file is requested? It's not in my code, searched many times in the directory the application lies within. Can I get some traces somewhere? Thanks.

Hello,we have running an CF10 Server. We do monitoring with cfstat for one week.We are not sure, what the avg db time value shows.The documentation says (for CF10):  A running average of the time that ColdFusion spends on database-related processing of ColdFusion requests. Averages are displayed for the last two completed requestsThe documentation für CF8 :(A running average of the time that ColdFusion spends on database-related processing of ColdFusion requests.) The difference is with or without the last two completed requests.Now, we can track that the value for the avg db time constantly goes higher and higher. 100.000 milli seconds and more.But we didn't have any problem with long database requests.Request time for all database requests at our application are near 100 milliseconds.What means the avg db time really?What do I understand not correctly?Thomas

Hi,I have a web project using session to store a code num.In my working machine, original session variable is "A000". I set the session to "A123". Then, go to second page and it shows session "A123" correctly.However, in another working machine, I set the session to "A123", second page shows session "A000", not the one I updated.How this happen? And how can I solve this problem?

I have installed the ColdFusion 10 as a local host and Now when I am trying to setup the ColdFusion Builder I can't seem to get it to select the Local Server. Help Please

I have tried for two days to get just a small bit of tech support on the setup of Adobe ColdFusion 10 and ColdFusion Builder. More than half a day calling all kinds of departments at Adobe and so far no one is actually interested in offering even a modicum of tech support. As a business owner it seems counter productive to even offer a trial of expensive, complex software and not follow through with the bare basics of setting it up so that potential customers can at least see what it does or is supposed to do.contact me if anyone in your company would like to solve this for me.

I have a client with an existing ColdFusion 7 website.  They need it upgraded to ColdFusion9.  How do I upgrade the code?  I need to know what software I'll need, whether there is a cost for that software, and how long the upgrade will take.

Recently, some security audit testers have insisted that the error screen NOT BE SHOWN when /CFIDE/GraphData.cfm is called. They obtained the URL from one of our graph reports, which usually have a query string appended to it when called with CFCHART. The resulting page is as attached, a Jrun Servlet Error 500 Internal Server Error page. They have categorized this under "Weaknesses in Error Handling mechanism" and insist that it should be improved.My question is : Without messing about with 1) IIS MOD REWRITE, or 2) Engage complicated methods to generate a CFCHART image (ie generate CFCHART, save it to a temporary directory, and re-displaying it without going through GraphData.cfm)Is there a way to get Coldfusion to not display this error when the URL in question is called?

I have a SQL Server 2008 database with a table that has an ID field that has an identity increment and seed of 1.This work great as each new record created automatically gets a new and distinct number.Now when I insert certain new records I need to be able to make that value start at 10001 and then the next would be 10002 etc.But this is only for certain inserts.Is there a way to control the identity seed & increment on the fly via a query maybe?So some inserts would follow 1,2,3,4,5,6,7  depending on whats being insertedand others would follow 10001,10002,10003 depending on whats being inserted.is this possible?

I have a page that uses cflayout to display data. Links in the page fires a cfwindow that also contains a cflayout tag. This works perfectly in all other browsers, including IE 10, but not IE 9 and below. It does not produce an error, it simply does not display anything at all. The window appears with nothing in it. Server side is CF9.01. Any ideas? Many thanks!

I created my FirstHomePage.cfm on the ColdFusion 10 Developer server.It works on the same server machine, but i got HTTP 404 error from other machine.I added IP Address on ColdFusion server Admin page to Allow IP address.I would like any configuration need to be done to let other machine acess the web page from the other machine.Your help and information is great appreciated,Regards,Iccsi,

I was reading an article on Clustering/LB/HA using CF8, but have not found any updates for CF10.Using VM VirtualBox to setup a few virtual servers, I am looking to setup a load balancing of ColdFusion 10 on 2 remote instances. The goal would be have ColdFusion Cluster Manager be able to point http request to one of the two servers based on load/availability. Not really having a hardware cluster/failover setup, just managing resources on two CF instances instead of a standalone. The servers are Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS7.5 and ColdFusion 10 Enterprise on installed on 3 of these machines. Let's call them CF-LBManager, CF-Web1, and CF-Web 2. In the CF Docs, they show the Cluster Manager adding the local CF instance and "if you want" a remote instance. However, this scenario would require the main instance to be running and not fail for it to direct to the other instance. I am trying to set this up now with CF-LBManager as just a manager of the requests coming in. In the Enterprise M

CF10  Local Dev MAC machine. Built in server.Nothing has changed in my Application.cfc. Cleared cache via admin pages, Changed Application.cfc/Application.cfm lookup order to all three settings. Restarted Server and computer several times. Changed Name of Application.cfc to 1Application.cfc and back.My pages are not seeing THIS.Datasource and if just try to output This.Name on blank page I get "Element NAME is undefined in THIS". I'm having the same issue as this post. But the fix isn't working for me.coldfusion application.cfc not foundNot sure what/how do trouble shoot further.

I am using CF9 on a virtual server so I have control over the stopwords.txt file.I presumed it would be as simple as adding my own words to the file, but it didn't go that smoothly.I search the CF folder and it found 5 files named stopwords.txt.Here is where they were found:H:\ColdFusion9\solr\solr\confH:\ColdFusion9\solr\multicore\core0\confH:\ColdFusion9\solr\multicore\template\confH:\ColdFusion9\solr\example-DIH\solr\db\confH:\ColdFusion9\solr\example-DIH\solr\rss\confI tried editing the first 3 (since the bottom 2 said example, I didn't edit those).  I restarted the ColdFusion 9 Search Server and ColdFusion 9 Solr Service then rebuilt the indexes.The search still found the word I added.Advice on how to exclude words would be appreciated.  If it could be done through a database table that I could create and give supervisor staff access to that would be even better than having to edit a server file, restart services and rebuild indexes.Thank you

Doubt I've named this right...Ok, here's what I'm trying to do:I have a CFQuery set up:<cfquery name="myQuery" datasource="someSource">     SELECT DISTINCT          item_num,          item_name     FROM table1</cfquery>I know this is working fine.  A little farther down my page I have a dropdown that gives a list of "item_name" entries.  What I want to do is set another variable to item_num based on whatever is chosen in that dropdown.  The item_name field is irrelevant to the rest of my page, it's just there to help out the end users with readability.How do I do this?  It's kind of driving me nuts trying to figure it out.

Our server keeps failing our PCI compliance test due to the Session ID's being non random. Description: Web Server Uses Non Random Session IDs       Synopsis: The remote web server generates predictable session IDs.      Impact: The remote web server generates a session ID for each connection.  A session ID is typically used to keep track of the actions of a user while he visits a web site.  The remote server generates non-random session IDs.  An attacker might use this flaw to guess the session IDs of other users and therefore steal their session.  See also : http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/cookies/seq_sessionid.html        Data Received: Sending several requests gives us the following session IDs : CFID=896744 CFID=896745 CFID=896746 CFID=896747 CFID=896748      Resolution: Configure the remote site and CGIs so as to use random session IDs.  &nbsp

Up until recently I only had Coldfusion 9 running on a 64-bit 2008 server. Today I installed the Coldfusion 10 trial. The installation went OK and the CF9 settings were migrated to the new CF10 installation as expected. The instalation did not remove the CF9, which is good as I have something to fall back to if I run into serious code compatibility problems. After sometime while I was happily testing I decided to stop the CF9 services as I didn't think they were necessary any more. But as soon as I did that everything became really slow and even the CF Administrator login page took around 2 minutes to load. Things got back to normal only when I restarted the CF9 from the services again...Why did this happen and what can I do about it? If there is no solution, is there a problem having both CF9 and CF10 running on the server even though CF10 is the version that controls all coldfusion pages?

Long story short.  We have a PC called Thor running CF 10 on a physical server.  We brought up a PC called vThor (which will be renamed to Thor when all is said and done) running the SAME LICENSE KEY AS THOR (cause it will be its replacement) running CF 10 on a VIRTUAL server.Well, the migration failed miserably so after reverting back, we're going with a different approach.  Both servers are on our domain and are brought up at the same time, however, we have an additional IP address with our Host that I can use to route to vThor while Thor still functions as a live production server.  In this setup, I can then use the IP to test the other server without having to worry about bringing the other down due to licensing restrictions.So what I'd like to do is temporarily downgrade vThor to 'DEVELOPER' (max 2 client connections, run with Enterprise functions), and I'd like to, if possible, withold from uninstalling the thing.Once I get that done, it's off to fight one of

I am going to start a new project and I am pretty new to the ColdFusion and would liek to start Application.cfc and want to know what's kind the information need specify for whole applications.Your help and information is great appreciated,Regards,Iccsi

CF7 works in windows server 2008 R2, can it connect with SQL  2008 R2?

Here's my mail header: <cfmail to="#session.user_email#" from="#application.siteName# <#application.siteEmail#>"  subject="You Are Registered for #getEvent.event_title#" type="html">The variables all work and the format complies with the documentation on CF9.  I have a cfcatch set up in case of failures and I'm getting notices of attribute failure.  The mail still goes through though.  I'd leave it alone except that this is on our community site and my mailbox is getting bombed.  Besides, I'd like to know why it's failing!Michael
