Administrato CF 10 error invoking cfc after update.

[jrivera12]

went through our update cycle for our CF 10 admin for the latest updates.  We are now receiving the following error:

"Error invoking CFC /CFIDE/Administrator/updates/download.cfc:

internal server error [enable debugging by adding 'cfdebug' to your URL parameters to see more information]"

Now the issue here is that even when ?cfdebug is added nothing comes up but the error.

We have a non-standard configuration for our administrator, it does not reside in the the root as it kept making our compliance scans fail.  to resolve we had to move the administrator to our c:<newfolder>, so that the administator would not fail our scans because of the password being passed in plain text.

Per the error we have checked to make sure that the download.cfc is in the proper location and has the proper permissions and access.

After the updates we now receive the above mentioned errors. any assistance in resolving would be great.

thanks in advance.

Since you have non-standard webroot you should have run into this issue.

Installer copies the Administrator cfc/cfm files under by replacing the files should fix your issue.

For your case this step is required whenever you run the updater.

Thanks,

Yeah, I think your approach to securing CF Admin has probably let you down here. You should have left it as-is, and just made it not browseable from your outward-facing website, whilst still having it accessible from a secured inwards-facing website.  That should solve your compliance scans, and not mess with where CF expects to find stuff.

Hi Krishna

I have replaced the administrator files by copying from my Coldfusion10/cfusion.... and into my webroot cfide on the data drive replacing the old files there.   I am still getting the same error.

Steve, as Adam said in his post in Nov ’12, you should be able to resolve things by putting them back as they should be, and then use other means to protect your admin. Have you tried that?

If you remain stumped with either getting that working, or getting things working the way you want them to, I’ll just note that you don’t need to suffer this. Either problem should be solvable in less than an hour of direct remote consulting assistance, which I could provide.

I know it stinks to see a “sales pitch” here, but since you’re doing things non-standard, there could be a few things that would make it hard to resolve purely here in the forums. And if you’ve been suffering this for more than a year, it just seems worth offering you an option to get this solved perhaps very quickly. More on the consulting page at carehart.org.
