I cannot get a pdf variable stored into my database if the pdf file was created by ColdFusion9 itself.  I can if the pdf file was created by some other application.  My cf generated pdf file opens in adobe readrer just fine, writes to the dis just fine etc.Is there some difference in the way cfpdf works in cf10 vice cf9 which resolves that or am I the only one having this trouble?ThanksMike Besemer

Hi all. I'm novice and would like to use cfselect to populate a drop-down list with a query but I haven't been successful so far, can someone tell me what I'm missing?It's a financial application and I just need a drop-down of accounts (like 'utilities,' 'supplies,' etc.) . . . The code I'm using is:<cfselect name="formCategory" cfquery="categories" value="category"></cfselect>But it doesn't work. (Sorry, I can't see the error message because I'm using a shared server and the specific message doesn't display.) My 'categories' query is a very simple list of the account names with the column name 'category'.Why isn't this working?Thank you.

I am unable to create a secure datasource connection in CF10.  I am familiar with setting up secure datasources.  I have been setting them up since version 6.  In CF10, I have tried the JTDS driver, Microsoft JDBC driver, and built in driver with no success.  The datasources always verify correctly, but I can't do any queries without getting an exception.   The CF exception is coldfusion.tagext.sql.QueryTag$DatabaseQueryException: Error Executing Database Query.   Looking at the logs from the MSSQL server i see  this message..."The prelogin packet used to open the connection is structurally invalid; the connection has been closed.".  I have tried JDBC drivers that worked on CF9 and I have tried downloading the new JDBC drivers.  Has anyone else been able to created an encrypted datasource connection in CF10?  I installed using the secure profile option and it is the Enterprise version of CF.

Oracle has released the final Java 6 Update 39 last week, marking the end of support for Java 6.  Adobe has stated multiple times that Java 7 would be supported before EOL, yet it has been a week and still no patches or update.  Does anyone have an ETA when Java 7 will be officially supported?References:Java version support     [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/975438 | http://forums.adobe.com/thread/975438]Java 7 support for ColdFusion    <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://blogs.coldfusion.com/post.cfm/java-7-support-for-coldfusion" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://blogs.coldfusion.com/post.cfm/java-7-support-for-coldfusion</a>What's the situation with #ColdFusion and Java 7, Java 6 updates, Windows 8, and OS X Mountain Lion?          [http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2012/12/12/java_7_and_6_updates_and_Win8_and_MtnLion | http://www.carehart.org/blog

I am fairly new to CF so forgive my ignorance. If someone could just point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.I have installed CF10 with the mandatory update on Windows 2008 r2 server.System Information Server Details Server Product ColdFusion Version ColdFusion 10,283111 Tomcat Version 7.0.23.0 Edition Enterprise   The updates page does not work when I click "Check for Updates"The update log is showing:Feb 18, 2013   1:42 PM   Error   ajp-bio-8012-exec-5   CFADMIN   Not able to connect to Update Site: Connection Failure: Status code unavailable Is there something that I need to configure in CF to get the updates to work properly? Otherwise, where can I download Hotfix 7 from to install in manually?Thanks

CF9 - I'm using a cflayoutarea within cflayout, then inside of that I have a cfform for login. When I submit my cfform it loads my login page (submitted) inside of the cflayout window, which I don't want. I've tried using target _blank, _parent, etc but it changes nothing. If I use plain old form instead of cfform with target _parent, it works fine. So does something within cfform clash with cflayout or cflayoutarea that I don't know about?

While testing CF10 before upgrading the production system I encountered following issue:When trying to create an COM-Object I get the exception 0x80040154 - Class not registered.This happens on Windows 2008 (32bit) after upgrading from CF9 to CF10.With CF10 on Windows 2003 R2 32bit there are no problems accessing COM, neither with CF9 on w2k8 32bit.The error message is not appropriate, it comes out with any class e.g. CDO.Message, and the classes are definitely registered and can be accessed e.g. from local scripting.I've read about problems with 64bit OS, but never about 32bit.Any ideas? Thanks for help

I saw that CF10 installer now supports windows8, so I reinstalled my computer and installed coldfusion 10. After installing, everything worked just fine and CF ran without issue. After restarting the computer, however, the appication server service refuses to start up. I've reinstalled CF twice with the same results. Here is the error in event viewer:"The ColdFusion 10 Application Server service terminated with the following service-specific error: The operation completed successfully."and this is the error in the popup that you get when you try and start it up: "Windows could not start the Coldfusion 10 Application Server on Local computer. For more information, rreview the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to the service-specific error code 0."Any help would be appreciated. I'd hate to have to completely reinstall back to Win7.

Hi,I'm migrating an application from CF CF 8 to 10, but I have a problem that is stopping meThe following code is correct and works in CF 8<cdscript>...DataSourceFactory = CreateObject("java","coldfusion.sql.DataSourceFactory");DataSourceFactory.getInstance().getDataSource(Attributes.datasource).getConnection();..</cfscrip>But in CF 10 marks the next error.structDetail           Either there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types or the getDataSource method is overloaded with argument types that ColdFusion cannot decipher reliably. ColdFusion found 0 methods that match the provided arguments. If this is a Java object and you verified that the method exists, use the javacast function to reduce ambiguity.Message           The getDataSource method was not found.MethodName           getDataSourceStackTrace  &n

Server Details Server Product ColdFusion Version 9,0,1,274733   Edition Standard   Operating System Windows Server 2008   OS Version 6.0   Update Level /C:/ColdFusion9/lib/updates/chf9010004.jar   Adobe Driver Version 4.0 (Build 0005) I just recently updated 2 of my servers to the Cumulative hotfix 4 in response to security bullitin APSB13-03. Everything seems to be working ok and the update ran through fine. I happend on accident to click on the font management link and was surprised to see that what was once a fully populated page now simply read No Fonts found. After looking through numerous forum posts and google searches, the only similar mention I'd come across was http://forums.adobe.com/message/4495733#4495733. However unlike the OP in that post I was able to add new user defined fonts. The only thing I havn't done is revert back the update since that will leave me with a bigger problem in the form of a security hole. My problem

I have a field named job_date in a table in my SQL server 8 database.The data type is datetime.So the values for the fields look like this  2013-03-11 15:55:52.000.How do I query this field to include only values from a certain date?For example<cfquery name="get_job_name" datasource="abc">SELECT job_name  FROM job_info WHERE job_date= '03/12/2013'</cfquery>When I query the field now I get NO RECORDS.Thats because the fields look like this  2013-03-11 15:55:52.000. instead of this '03/12/2013'How do I access a certain date in SQL Server date/time field when its formatted like this 2013-03-11 15:55:52.000. ?

Okay, I'm stumped enough to break a laptop.  I've been reading every post I can find today on how to setup per-Application mappings, and it just doesn't work.  Here's my situation:I have an existing site running on Linux under CF 9.0.1, and I had Mappings configured in CF Admin for 2 directories that I use in cfinclude tags throughout my CFMs and CFCs (so that those directories can remain above the webroot and not be exposed by Apache).  All that worked fine forever.Now I need to set up a second site with a separate set of directories, but I'm starting with a copy of the existing site's folders and then modifying the paths as needed.  For example, my first site is in /web/website, and my mappings are for "/cf-include" and "/cfc" mapped to "/web/website/cfc" and "/web/website/cf-include" in the Admin.  My webroot is "/web/website/htdocs", which is configured as my DocumentRoot in Apache.  For my second site, I created a new directory "/web/stwebsite" contai

Hi,Debated a bit between posting this in the  Administration forum or the main forum since it's a little bit of both.   Hopefully I picked right We  don't make heavy usage of cfchart so we never noticed this issue, but I  believe the issue is present since upgrading to CF 9, from CF MX.Problem: When using cfchart, the code is generated on the page where the chart should be<img  name="Images_1442197870100010_PNG" id="Images_1442197870100010_PNG"  src="/CFIDE/GraphData.cfm?graphCache=wc50&graphID=Images/1442197870100010.PNG">Issue is with the src attribute: /CFIDE/GraphData.cfm from what I gathered online that file doesn't really exist on the file system it's just a special alias for ColdFusion.Problem  is that we restricted access to the /CFIDE with a url rerwrite rule to  prevent external access to the Administrator from the outside, the rule  is for everything in /CFIDE.  If I modify it to only lock  /CFIDE/Administ
