Recently we updated our Coldfusion 2021 server to update 22 and are now getting several errors with packages, we followed the instructions from this post  but still haven't been able to make it work.   First the mail package wasn't installed, we tried to install it via cfpm and Cf admin without success, later we discovered that there were missing dependencies which we manually uploaded to the repo folder, cleared felix cache, both manually and programatically, deleted cfclasses folder.   And finally we were able to install it but still having the same issue also we found out that even though postgresql is installed we get and error saying that the package is not suitable to make the connection and that we should use cfpm to install it,  another error we get is when we use the function Encrypt it gives and error, any advice will help a lot.  

I'm adding service bus integration using the azureservicebus package in ColdFusion 2023 update 16. I can send messages to a queue but I haven't been able to schedule a message for later processing. I've followed the documentation here  https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/using/integrate-coldfusion-azure-service-bus.htmlI've copied the code sample from "Schedule a message" but I get an error every time: "coldfusion.runtime.java.MethodSelectionException: The scheduleMessageToQueue method was not found." Does this method exist in ColdFusion 2023? Here's my simple example:<cfscript> credentialAlias = "AzureServiceBusCredential"; configAlias = "AzureServiceBusConfiguration"; sb = getCloudService(credentialAlias, configAlias); testQueue = sb.createQueue("testQueue"); sendMessage = { messageBody = "This is a test message", messageProperties = { contentType = "text/plain", subject = "Test Message",

Just upgraded to CF2025 and am seeing this below in the coldfusion-out.log file at random times but almost every minute or more. What is it and what would it be doing.  The only thing i could find with "sentiment" in the file name was this..."\\cfusion\jetty\work\jetty-127_0_0_1-8997-solr_war-_solr-any-\webapp\WEB-INF\lib\sentiment-analysis-parser-0.1.jar". I did google the url in the coldfusion-out.log below and found the github repo for it but dumbfounded why it is showing up in our coldfusion instance.  Oct 13, 2025 13:51:24 INFO [ajp-nio-127.0.0.1-8024-exec-13] - Sentiment Model is at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/USCDataScience/SentimentAnalysisParser/master/sentiment-models/src/main/resources/edu/usc/irds/sentiment/en-netflix-sentiment.binOct 13, 2025 13:51:24 PM Information [ajp-nio-127.0.0.1-8024-exec-13] - Sentiment Model is at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/USCDataScience/SentimentAnalysisParser/master/sentiment-models/src/main/resources/edu/usc/irds/sen

Does anyone know if there is a PMT 2023, and if so, where is the installer   - i can only find the installer for pmt 2021 

I have followed the instructions and downloaded the CF2025 package. I unzipped it and put it in an accessible folder on my desktop. Each time that I double click on cfinstall.bat, I get the following 2 messages in the install log:2025-10-08 14:43:05 INFO - Welcome to the ColdFusion Setup Wizard2025-10-08 14:43:05 ERROR - Administrator access is required to continue. Exiting... I have a valid Local Account with Administrator privileges. I am the only user of this machine so I have never set up any other accounts. I have read elsewhere that it isn't required to use a Microsoft Account. I had no issue installing previous versions of CF but for some reason I can't install this one. Any ideas?

Hello,I am wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I am moving to a new Windows server and upgrading from CF2016 to CF2021, and I can't seem to get my SMS gateway running even though it works fine on the old server. The errors I am getting in my coldfusion-out log when it attempts to start the instance are:"SMSGateway (SMSWatch) Binding to SMSC""SMSGateway (SMSWatch) Bind operation failed: java.lang.NullPointerException"This is the code for the CFC I am using for my instance. I am not sure where it originally came from, but probably from a ColdFusion example:<cfcomponent> <cfset undeliverablePath = "C:\CF21\cfusion\sms\undeliverable" /> <cffunction name="send" output="false" access="private" returntype="boolean"> <cfargument name="username" required="true" type="string"/> <cfargument name="password" required="true" type="string"/> <cfargument name="from" required="true" type="string"/> <cfargument name="to" req

Afternoon folks New build of coldfusion 2025 on Ubuntu. Apache version 2.4.52. On starting the apache service, I periodically get this:Sep 17 16:01:00 intranet01.tectcorp.com systemd[1]: Starting The Apache HTTP Server...Sep 17 16:01:00 intranet01.tectcorp.com apachectl[1813]: Segmentation fault (core dumped)Sep 17 16:01:00 intranet01.tectcorp.com apachectl[1813]: Action 'start' failed.Sep 17 16:01:00 intranet01.tectcorp.com apachectl[1813]: The Apache error log may have more information.Sep 17 16:01:00 intranet01.tectcorp.com systemd[1]: apache2.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=139/n/aSep 17 16:01:00 intranet01.tectcorp.com systemd[1]: apache2.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.Sep 17 16:01:00 intranet01.tectcorp.com systemd[1]: Failed to start The Apache HTTP Server. This only happens every few times that I try to start apache.

I installed the PMT for Coldfusion 2018 on my Windows notebook. Everything seemd fine, but each time I want to login, I get the message: "Invalid Username / Password".I am sure that username / password are the correct values configured during installation.Nevertheless I uninstalled the tool and installed it again, using other values for username / password. This did not help.Can anybody help? I did not find any information on this in the internet! 

Hello, We are currently trying to upgrade fuseguard from 2.4 to 3.6.  However , we wanted to see if we can still keep the old one intact and the new one in audit mode or something ,so we just see the logs but nothing gets blocked using the new version. In other words, is it possible to have two fuseguard versions being used or integrated with one single instance of coldfusion 2023. Appreciate if anyone could provide with any inputs based on your experience.Thanks,Manoj.

I just noticed that the Adobe ColdFusion Builder extension for Visual Studio code is no longer avaiilable. Is Adobe moving on to something else?   

Hello everyone, I have an error or detail when reloading with reload. I previously added the mapping in REST, but when I run it, it only shows me {} but it doesn't show me if I reload it or any status. I'm using the developer version CF25. Do you know if this is normal or if I need some other add-on?Regards

Hi All, I updated Coldfusion 2021 to release 21 which is supposed to have Apache POI 5.41, after a Tenable scan I get a Folder that is named WEB-INF-BUE-bk coldfusion2021/cfusion/wwwroot/WEB-INF-BUE-bk/lib that still has the 3.9 libraries, so I'd like to know if I can safely zip the contents and delete the folder without messing the server up or the folder is required by coldfusion?

Hi all. I have a very pressing iseue I was hoping you could help with, as we have an important UAT server down. I installed the CF 2023 license today. I got a message after license entry that said CF server needed to have access to the Internet to work for certain license types. I wasn't asure if my license type was the one listed, so I thought I'd test. I removed my proxy and proxy port settings from the package manager settings, and turned off the proxy on my Windows machine. Then I removed the -Dhttp.proxyHost and -Dhttp.proxyPort settings from the JVM, which required me to restart. Nowe, CF2023 Application Server service will not start back up again. I turned the windows proxy back on, and since I couldn't get to the JVM with the Admin not able to load, I added the proxy settings to the jvm.config file. CF server would still not start up. There arew errors in the exception log saying "Failed to contact the Adobe Licensing server". Can anyone tell me how to resol

We need to encrypt data using AES/CBC/PKCS7. However the CF encrypt method only accepts AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding. Any idea how to achieve this? We are using CF 2016.

I need to limited access to the SOLR web application to localost. The server it is running on has both IPv4 and IPv6 and in the jerrty/etc/jetty-ipaccess.xml in this section:<Set name="white">  <Array type="String">  <Item>127.0.0.1</Item>   <Item>::1</Item>  </Array></Set>When I add IPV6 I get a error when I try to restart jetty. So I cannot lock it down.Any ideas?

I keep getting this error: ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed: Address already in use ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510) JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [:732] However, nothing is running on that port except CF!  So what is it complaining about?  Do I have something misconfigured?   I have CF 2021 running on my localhost w/ default settings (so it's running on localhost:8500).  In VSCode, I have the server set as localhost:8500.   Thanks!  

I am running a CycloneDX security scan on the latest ColdFusion 2021 Enterprise WAR file for my application (HF22). I am getting 160+ vulnerabilities reported, most of them either Critical or High. I have some questions about these: 1. Most of these seem to be related not to the actual libraries in /cfusion/lib, but to the JAR files in /bundles/repo, e.g. ehcache-2.10.3.jar, jackson-databind-2.9.8.jar. I don't know what (if anything) I can do to fix these. Can I delete the most vulnerable files without killing the application server? Does anyone have any advice? 2. A number of the other vulnerabilities are being reported in libraries that aren't necessarily in use in my deployment: they're part of the hotfix installer JARs in /cfusion/hf-updates or /bundles/updateinstallers. Can I safely remove the most recent hotfix installers from these directories, once the hotfix has been installed and tested? (I have no intention of uninstalling a hotfix from Production: if necessary, I

Hi,We use docker locally and have an issue now with latest 2023 version. We are getting the following error wherever a component is called on a page which has a type on cfargument. Removing the type allows the page to load without error. The error we see is as follows'coldfusion.runtime.Variable coldfusion.runtime.UDFMethod._validateArgWithValidator(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, coldfusion.runtime.Variable, coldfusion.tagext.validation.CFTypeValidator)' java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'coldfusion.runtime.Variable coldfusion.runtime.UDFMethod._validateArgWithValidator(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, coldfusion.runtime.Variable, coldfusion.tagext.validation.CFTypeValidator)' atWe also see errors related to the image package where it says we need to install the image package but it's already installed. We've pulled most recent image, started stopped the container etc. but still seeing those issues. Nothing obvious showing in the logs. Anyone any ideas? There was a version of

Hello, We have been using SonarQube for code quality testing of our applications. However, I was wondering what would be the recommended one for ColdFusion files. I know that SonarQube officially doesn't support .cfm or .cfc files(although there is some third party plugin). So, wondering what  industry standard tools are being used to scan our custom ColdFusion files. Thanks,Manoj.

We recently received a vulnerability report on Apache Tomcat 9.0.106 from our security team and have been instructed to upgrade to 9.0.108. Are there steps to manual upgrade Tomcat within ColdFusion? If so, can you kindly provide guidance?

I installed 2021 and I am trying to bring up the website and I get this error:  "The feed package is not installed".  Ok, so I think I can just install it.  But none of our servers have internet access.  So I see that a local repository is possible.  I can't use the "cfpm downloadrepo" because there is no internet access to download all the packages.  When I try downloadrepo I get these error message for the download for each package: "Illegal character in opaque part at index 2".  There does not seem to be a website to download the repo.  So what do I do?  Any help appreciated.
