Hello I recently upgraded my office coldfusion11 server to the coldfusion 2021 server.  Once the upgrade took place I was no longer able to access the coldfusion admin interface. I currently configured the site to run on IIS. I have attached a screenshot of the error I am getting.  Any feedback or help is greatly appericated.  Thank you. 

I'm having issues with creating a useable docker container for a ColdFusion 2021 app. I can create the container, but everytime it is rebuilt I have to reinstall all of the modules (admin, search, etc.). This is an issue because the site that the container will be housed on will be rebuilding the container everyday. The container is being built with docker-compose. I have tried using the installModule and importModule environmental variables, running the install command from the Dockerfile, building the container and creating a .car file to keep the settings, and disabling the secure mode using the environmental variables. I have looked at the log, and all of the different methods used to install/import the modules are actually downloading and installing the modules. However, when the container first starts to spin up there's a section where the selected modules are installed (and the modules that are not installed are listed). That section is followed by the message that the

Hi Everyone, I have a few kiosks that I use this code for and over the last few days I keep receiving this error "Element upload-id is undefined in a CFML structure referenced as part of an expression." on line 93 which I have in bold and Italic.

(CF2016 Update 17) Hi, I've used #CGI.http_referer# on and off for many years. On my recent use I noticed that part of the URL's were missing Example if  link from the local host to the domain and try to log in, I get part of the link http://127.0.0.1/ but not the full link I came from http://127.0.0.1/sometest/testrefer.html for example I just tried it on the local host to the local host and that worked fine. I have some servers on a load balancer and in the past I'd lost some info as the ISP didn't pass it through but this server is not on the balancer so I know that is not the issue Does anybody know where I might look to resolve this? Thanks

I have ColdFusion 2018 Update 11 installed on the Windows server. This ColdFusion uses a Tomcat version 9.0.41 as a connector . Is it any way to upgrade tomcat version 9.0.46 internally without upgrading ColdFusion 2018 Update 11?And also if there is way then ColdFusion 2018 don't have any compatibility issue, It should run smooth on Tomcat 9.0.46 because I am having old ColdFusion code.Any suggestion please help.Thanks.  

System Information:MACOS: Catalina 10.15.7 Docker DEV Envirment – MSSQL + Coldfusion:FROM mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2019-latestCFENGINE: adobe@2021 Context:Recently updated docker software and now dev envirment won't complete build. Worth noting this used to work prior to the update but there was a few unrelated changes that needed to be made - i.e. the MSSQL image needed to be pulled from a new repository. Once I changed the DockerFile FROM microsoft/mssql-server-linux:2017-latest to the newer repository... FROM mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2017-latest the "docker-compose up" build process worked up until initiating the database. The build is now stuck on this Terminal message and never completes:cfml_1 | WARNING: org.xerial's sqlite-jdbc is not loaded.cfml_1 | Please provide the jar on your classpath to parse sqlite files. cfml_1 | See tika-parsers/pom.xml for the correct version.database_1 | 2021-07-19 21:34:50.

We attempted to upgrade from Coldfusion 11 to 2018 today and we are now getting  our cross-origin requests blocked by Chrome. Reverting back to CF11 (changing no settings in IIS, just switching the connector) we have no problems. So, my question is this: What has changed in the Rest Services served by CF2018 so that cross-origin requests would start getting blocked when the same code served by CF11 works fine? And, what, if anything, might be done to get around this issue?

I have a server with 4 instances set up with the CFadmin Instance Manager.All is well, but when I try to get a user count, you only get the count on your logged in instance.I'm trying to log in to a specific instance, any suggestions? -Chuck

Hi,The JSON format I would like to send  is like this:{"InvoiceID": "12345",  "InvoiceLine": [{"Description": "Item1", "Quantity": 1, "LineTotal": 20} ,                            {"Description": "Item2", "Quantity": 2, "LineTotal": 15} ]} I tried to create the above by <cfset LineInfo =' {"Description": "Item1", "Quantity": 1, "LineTotal": 20} ,                            {"Description": "Item2", "Quantity": 2, "LineTotal": 15} '>This is done after some looping to find out the number of lines I have.  <cfscript>myStruct= {"InvoiceID": "12345",  "InvoiceLine": [#LineInfo#]}</cfscript> Then, #serialize JSON(myStruct)# becomes{"InvoiceID": "12345", "InvoiceLine": ["{\"Description\": \"Item1\", \"Quantity\": 1, \"LineTotal\": 20} ,             

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any experience of upgrading the Microsoft SQL Server driver from the Adobe one to the Microsoft one and if there was any improvement in performance. We did it but ran into issues with identity fields not being returned from insert queries but if there was a noticeable improvement in performance from them its something we would revisit. Thanks,Paul

Want to migrate from CF2016 to CF2021.  Have 2021 developers version with update 1 running.  My site has many cflayout tab areas with cflayoutarea tags for each tab.  These layouts are bound to dropdowns.  When another dropdown selection is made CF returns the following error: Component with the name tabname already exists.  Please use unique names for all the components.  Layout will not be rendered. If i remove the name= property in the cflayout then no tabs are rendered, so name is needed.  The page has one name for each tab and worked just fine in CF2016. Coding unique names seems like it shouldnt be needed for each time the dropdown is selected. Any suggestions?

I have been using ColdFusion 2016 for about 5 months without problem. Two days ago I suddenly could not access the built in server, receiving such messages as:127.0.0.1 refused to connect. in Opera and ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in Chrome.I thought it could be a firewall issue, since when booting up I saw a message saying that another app (Akamai NetSession)  was being blocked and that Windows Firewall had made some changes. However on checking the firewall, ColdFusion Server is being allowed through (as are Opera Chrome, etc).I tried to start CFServer from a command prompt, but after navigating to the bin directory and typing ColdFusion.exe start I got no message of any kind.I am on port 8501 with the server (8500 was used by and old version of CF11) but have never had any running problems.I noted that the IIS start page appears on 127.0.0.1 when I checked the relevant options - so localhost is not completely disabled.I am not an expert on server issues. Anyone any ideas? Thanks in a

I ran into an issue where a condition (CFIF) that should be true is returning false. I'm hoping someone has a nifty answer to this. Here's some code I created to demonstrate the test:<cfif url.userid is "session.userid"> <!--- Condition True ---> My test is <cfif url.userid is "session.userid"><br><br> url.userid IS equal to session.userid<br><br> The values are:<br> url.userid = <cfoutput>#url.userid#</cfoutput><br> session.userid = <cfoutput>#session.userid#</cfoutput><br><br> <cfelse> <!--- Condition False ---> My test is <cfif url.userid is "session.userid"><br><br> url.userid is NOT equal to session.userid<br><br> The values are:<br> url.userid = <cfoutput>#url.userid#</cfoutput><br> session.userid = <cfoutput>#session.userid#</cfoutput><br><b

I'm installing Coldfusion 2021 on a RHEL8 server.  It is supposed to be running under Tomcat 9.0.50.  We run this succesfully on a CentOS 8 server/Coldfusion 2018.  However, RHEL, both cf2018 and cf2021 give the following message:"Error","main","08/04/21","08:52:35","","The Runtime service is not available. This exception is usually caused by service startup failure. Check your server configuration."coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory$ServiceNotAvailableException: The Runtime service is not available.How can I mitigate this?

Good afternoon,      CF 2018 installed on a CentOS 7 server.  I'm having what seems like a permission issue when using tag:<cfdocument>, PDF generated file.  The error report indicates "java.io.FileNotFoundException" <path to PDF file> (Permission denied).  This is happening for all PDF generated files using <cfdocument>.  Has anyone had experience with granting the appropriate permissions to generate these PDF files on linux?  I'm guessing the ColdFusion user needs to be granted the appropritate permissions to generate the file, or this is something having to do with the way the hosted server is setup in regards to network security.  Any insight will be much appreciated. Thanks, -Daniel

Hello, Been digging through the docs the last few days and i'm about out of hair to pull out. I've been leveraging the zip file based distribution of CF2021, have it up and running without any aparent errors in the server on a Windows 2019 Server.
