Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values. The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate expression result as a simple value. However, the result cannot be converted to a simple value. Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time values. I believe the issue is security related.

I've installed ColdFusion 2021 developer edition on a Windows machine.  I accepted the defaults when installing.  Did this install Apache for the web host or IIS or something else?  

We have a ColdFusion application that used ColdFusion 10 on a Windows 2008 R2 server. The server crashed after a windows update and we can't get it back. So, we commissioned a VM virtual server running Windows 2019 Server to run ColdFusion. Questions:* What version of ColdFusion should we install on Windows Server 2019? Certified?* Our application uses an MS Access mdb file. Can we still use this in ColdFusion xx and Windows 2019?* Can our ColdFusion 10 code work on the newer ColdFusion version in Windows 2019?This is a mission-critical application and we need to ensure success in this transition. Any advice? Carlos Coronel

Hi,Has anyone had license activation issues with CF2021? We have been experiencing license issues in all the servers we have installed at different times. Server 1 - We had CF2021 installed, but this machine did not have internet connectivity, hence we did the offline activation and activated the license for Enterprise version. However CF lost its license activation suddenly and reverted back to trial version. Server 2 - CF2021 was installed, server had internet connectivty, so the license key worked when applied through CF Admin console and activated as Enterprise version, ran for a month without any issues. Package manager was run to install reporting servlet, this also applied the Updater 1 in the background, 2 hours after this update, the server lost its license again, CF was trying to validate the cached license and then stopped after that. The next day we started the service and everything started working again. Server 3 - CF2021 was installed, license was activate

We are planning to upgrade windows server 2012 VM to Windows server 2019 .wanted to confirm if ColdFusion 11 will work on it ?Or do we need to upgrade the ColdFusion version along with Windows?

I imported the CF2018 setting using CFadmin package manager into newly installed CF2021 and now I'm getting a following error when I try to edit ORACLE specific Datasource. (MySQL and MS SQL are OK)Element urlmap.servicename is undefined in STDSN. I recreated one datasource and it seems to be ok, however, I have over 200 DS's that would prefer not to recreate manually. CF is running on Centos 7.9, cf v2021. Any suggestions?

Getting this error when attempting to update Server Settings: "Error","ajp-nio-127.0.0.1-8009-exec-8","03/31/21","10:36:29","cfadmin","Provider org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl not found The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\ColdfusionX\cfusion\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\settings\server_settings.cfm, line: 675 " System Specifics:   Windows Server 2016 on a Physical Server. Any ideas on why it would be doing this?Other information:It seems to update Timeout Requests after seconds and Enable Per Application Settings, even though I get the error page, but everything after that it does not register the change.   

I am trying to use cfldap with the secure="CFSSL_CLIENT_AUTH" on Coldfusion 2016. I specified the p12 file location using clientcert and the password using clientcertpassword. I also imported the sever's cert into the cacert keystore. When I run the page I always get "One or more of the required attributes may be missing or incorrect or you do not have permissions to execute this operation on the server." Anyone have experience with this?

We recently upgraded to ColdFusion 2018 Enterprise, which is currently running on four different servers. Each of these servers has two instances running in a cluster. The servers are Win 2K19 with 8GB RAM. CPU usage in generally very low (i.e. < 10%). The number of concurrent users would be less than 50, which are accessing a single site, so I would not say there is excessive load. We have found that each Adobe ColdFusion Launcher Application service will start at around 700-800 MB and then slowly climb up until the point where, presumably, there is no more memory available to it and the ColdFusion site will become unavailable. Restarting the services resolves the issue until it eventually happens again. I have tried increasing the JVM memory allocation earlier from 1024 MB to 2048 MB in the CF admin, but I am guessing this is just going to allow the system to operate for a bit longer that usual rather than actually fixing the underlying problem. Any suggestions on h

Good afternoon.  I am currently using cfx_SNMP.java to enable SNMP queries/etc from my Coldfusion Webpages.  This code was built back in 2009.  I believe it is using SNMP v1.  I am introducing new devices into my system that will not respond with SNMP v1 so I am needing to incorporate this code into using v2c.  I am  not sure how to do this and was wondering if I could get somme pointers.  I ahve attached my cfc_SNMP.java code file to this request.  Thank you.// Decompiled by DJ v3.11.11.95 Copyright 2009 Atanas Neshkov Date: 5/13/2010 4:59:22 PM // Home Page: http://members.fortunecity.com/neshkov/dj.html http://www.neshkov.com/dj.html - Check often for new version! // Decompiler options: packimports(3) // Source File Name: cfx_SNMP.java import com.allaire.cfx.*; import java.net.InetAddress; import java.util.StringTokenizer; import snmp.*; public class cfx_SNMP implements CustomTag { public cfx_SNMP() { } public void

I am using a linked server in the CFQUERY.The data source is type Microsoft SQL Server. The error page says “access to the remote server is denied because no login-mapping exists”.Worked OK in ColdFusion 10 on SQL 2012, but has this error in ColdFusion 2018 on SQL 2017.The linked server on this new SQL 2017 server should match the one on the SQL 2012 server. I created a view that uses the linked server, and then put that in the CFQuery.  Got the same error.Is there a way to fix or work around this?

Hi,Does anyone know how to fix the broken dialog box that pops-up when trying to apply the patches in package manager? Not all CF instances have this issue which make it more confusion why its broken for a particular instance. We are running Centos 7.9 and CF2021 (ZIP installer)To replicate, in Coldfusion Administrator (*/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm) webpage, you go to the package manager and you click "Download and Install" under core server. The confirmation box pops up but its only showing dialog box with not text or buttons.   

Hi ColdFusion Community.I am rebuilding our ColdFusion Webfarm and have the ColdFusion 2016 Windows X64 install media, and have identified the pre-requisites I need to build ColdFusion:Microsoft Visual C++ 2009 32bit Redistributable: vcredist_x86.exeMicrosoft Visual C++ 2012 32bit Redistributable: vcredist_x86.exeMicrosoft Visual C++ 2012 64bit Redistributable: vcredist_x64.exe.NET 4.5 64bit Development Suite: NDP46-KB3045560-Web.exeI have the latest Hotfix jar.    The silent install installs the above components but the coldfusion service can't be started as the installation is incomplete.I am using the silent install option, please see my silent installer properties attached, with sites paths and password redacted.#Webroot(s) folder for chosen website in IIS (comma separated) Ex: C:\inetpub\site1,C:\inetpub\site2INSTALLER_UI=SILENTSILENT_WEBROOT_IIS_WEBSITES=<websites>SILENT_INSTALLER_TYPE=standaloneSILENT_PREV_CF_MIGR_DIR=C:\\ColdFusion2016#Update Cold

I just noticed a ticket with a similar issue although the fix did not work for me, but I will repost herehttps://community.adobe.com/t5/coldfusion/coldfusion-2016-update-17-getting-500-error-after-installing-when-using-elvis-operator/m-p/11921655  I just updated CF2016 from update 16 to update 17 and it's crashing my queries with a 500 error. I performed the same update on my developer edition and it works fine. I've checked all of the settings including the version of JVM and everything appears to be identical. The problem appears to be in CFQUERYPARAM, but not all of them. This WHERE for example will cause the 500 errorWHERE enduser_uid = <cfqueryparam value="#GetEnduser.enduser_uid#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INT"> I tried to replace the #GetEnduser.enduser_uid# with a hardcoded value, it still crashed, but when I removed the cfqueryparam and used WHERE enduser_uid = 123456 the query works. These all worked fine before the update, plus with having two sys

I'm a little embarassed to post this since I've recently posted something very similar, but this really is a different set of circumstances. I have a site running on ColdFusion 11 (v. 11,0,19,314546) without incident. As soon as I move it to ColdFusion 2018 (v. 2018.0.11.326016), without changing any code, I get the message "The system has attempted to use an undefined value, which usually indicates a programming error, either in your code or some system code. Null Pointers are another name for undefined values." This is on my local machine. I've tried rebooting, restarting ColdFusion, running in different browsers, clearing all cookies - no success. I've stepped through each line of my "onApplicationStart" block with <cfabort/> and everything is fine. When I add <cfabort/> as the first line within my "onRequestStart" block, I get the error. (There is no "onSessionStart" code, this is a fairly old site..) The site uses session management: <cfscript>this

I am having an issue with CF2021 standard where the application is experiencing performance issue. This is possibly due to the timeouts happening on one of the datasources in rds. Our App server is running on Adobe Std 2021, with httpd and tomcat on RHEL8 64bit. The app server also has a mariadb running on it, the application has the datasources on referencing to the local ones as well as the AWS RDS hosted ones.We are stuggling to find out what caused the issue. The users often experience performance issues at various times and in the coldfusion-error.log, and exception.log we only see DB connection time outs.Exceptions:=========Mar 22, 2021 1:14:31 PM org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpProcessor logErrorSEVERE: nulljava.io.IOException: Broken pipeat java.base/sun.nio.ch.FileDispatcherImpl.write0(Native Method)at java.base/sun.nio.ch.SocketDispatcher.write(SocketDispatcher.java:47)at java.base/sun.nio.ch.IOUtil.writeFromNativeBuffer(IOUtil.java:113)at java.base/sun.nio.ch.IOUtil.write(IOUtil.ja

Does anybody know where I would be able to find the update schedule for ColdFusion 2016. I am on update 16, and that was installed in July 2020, so 6 months. Thanks Mark 

Hello , after applied update 17 to CF 2016 all cfsqltype variables dodn't work anymore . I should change cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar2" with cfsqltype="varchar" and cfsqltype="cf_sql_number" with cfsqltype="integer" to eliminate this error of "invalid type variable" .My Question is what kind of update is it if I should retype all CF scripts or is it some kind of update bug ?   

Greetings, We are still using the CF11. Our production servers crashed and I need to download and install it.Can someone help? I need the link. We have already purchased this edition back in 2014. Thanks, Theo

I have a simple chart based off a simple query. I am trying to display the various value labels in the legend. If I set the chart type to bar, the legend just shows "Series 1" as the label. If I change the chart type to pie, then everything displays fine. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong?  The query gives me output like  COUNTDAMAGE1757Complete2248Landscape31060N/A4938Partial5318Smoke61464Unknown My chart definition is: <cfchart format="html" xaxistitle="Damage" yaxistitle="Calamities" style="blue" showlegend="true" chartheight="400" chartwidth="500" title="Damage Distribution" labelformat="number" > <cfchartseries type="bar" query="damage" itemcolumn="damage" valuecolumn="count" colorlist="##b7e1f3,##189aa8,##aad356,##f9c908,##f35844" > </cfchartseries> </cfchart> The result is:I would have expected each color to be in the legend with the label for that data (Complete, landscape, partial, etc).

Hello CF Community, Not sure if this is a bug, undocumented feature, or edge case, but let's start with the resolution (or workaround) that allowed our servers to come back online: Replace <struct type="coldfusion.server.ConfigMap"> with <struct> under the <var name='CONNECTIONPROPS'> node within each datasource in neo-datasource.xml Now for the problem we faced: After installing Update 17 for ColdFusion 2016 we could no longer reach the ColdFusion Administrator. The 500 Internal Server Error on screen read "The DataSource service is not available." Our database driven websites were also down, but static sites were up and running. On server startup, the server.log file in the ColdFusion logs had the following error: "Error","localhost-startStop-1","03/23/21","10:41:42","","Unable to initialise SQL service: coldfusion.server.ServiceException: coldfusion.server.ConfigMap cannot be cast to coldfusion.runtime.Struct" Comparing the <cf

Hi I am applying Update 11 to our CF Server 2018 Installations on Windows Server as a result of the critical security update from https://us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/current-activity/2021/03/23/adobe-releases-security-updates-coldfusionDo I just need to apply Update 11 to our servers and that's it as the Java updated info doesn't specifically mention a Windows Server and IIS install regarding modifying the Java Instance Appreciate to know if we need to do or check anything else or just apply update 11?ThanksSimon

Hello, The link to PDF of CF2021 support matrix is not working. Where can I find what CF2021 is supported on? Details: https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/coldfusion2021-support-matrix.pdf Thanks in advance, Carl.

After CF2018 Upgrade from CF11, I get an intermittent ORA-01012:Not logged on error. Anyone know what's causing this? Note: The obvious question, am I logged in? Yes, via the Oracle Datasource in CFAdmin.
