Hi @Priyank Shrivastava. @Dave Watts  I need a tool to support Unit Testing and Code Coverage for ColdFusion project, do you know any such tool? Thank you. ... View more

Well explained, @JakinH . There has indeed been at least one change in isapi_redirect.dll in recent ColdFusion versions. It was a security fix.   There have been related discussions about it in this very forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/coldfusion-discussions/coldfusion-2021-update-11-new-connector-required/td-p/14152869   Other related blogposts are https://www.hoyahaxa.com/2023/10/coldfusion-connectors-and-cfadmin.html https://lists.apache.org/api/plain?thread=275s1mx2t3zhoqyglms9yqglv86c65qm     ...

Glad you solved it, and thanks for sharing what you did. But can you tell us what  a/v tool you were running? I've not heard of this error happening in hundreds of CF installs I've done or helped with.  There may be something unique to the specific a/v toold you were using (or maybe not).   Also, when you say you could not find the adobe_cf1.lax "in the folder I unzipped to", do you mean you unzipped the installer exe...perhaps hoping to find in it that file appearing anywhere? Do beware that the extracted zip does itself have still more. You'd need to dig deep into the "Russian dolls" to confirm if some file existed ANYWHERE in the installer. But I'll say I used a tool that could dig through that all, and the file does not exiist at all. There IS in fact an adobe_cf.lax in the root folder of the installer, as perhaps you found. I suspect the problem that you had may have led the code (within the installer) to get confused about the file name it was seeking.   Again, the good news is you solved your problem. I asked my quesiton above (and shared what I just did) for your sake and that of others who may find this thread in the future. ... View more

Let's see what MrLeo may have to say in response to all our ideas. And I see 2 replies were marked as "answers", shortly after your reply here. They are Priyanka's and yours. What's odd is that MrLeo had already said that Priyank's answer had not worked for him.   So was this him or you marking those as answers? Again, it would be great to hear from him to know where things stand.  ... View more

@jose uriel36005836rgm5  Yes you can install ColdFusion 2023 as a parallel install. However, please ensure that you don't run the wsconfig(connector) with your webserver(IIS/Apache) before removing the connector for CF11. We cannot run the same website from two different CF versions on the same server.  ... View more

Glad to have helped. Did you perhaps save that xml file before "clearing it out"? It's possible that in comparing it with a working one, the difference may be informative--for others, Adobe, or indeed for you should it happen again.   If you're not able to compare them (xml is challenging enough: WDDX-formatted even more so), you could share them with me as I have an automated approach.  ...

Could you do cf updates within a container? Yes. Should you? No, if you're of the opinion that containers are meant to be immutable (no such config changes once deployed).   Do you NEED to? No. Adobe creates new images when there are new cf updates. What most would do is obtain the new image and use THAT (and like a non-image deployment, one should do testing).   Finally, as for tomcat, that too is an issue affecting those running CF on OTHER THAN containers: if you run cf's deployment of tomcat underlying cf, only Adobe can update that deployment of tomcat correctly, as the Tomcat is customized. If you try to update it yourself, things in cf could break.   Does this mean that Cf users are subject to vulnerabilities due to tomcat, even when tomcat has released updates immediately? 100%. Can we do something about it? Sadly, no.   If you're adamant about the matter, you can instead deploy tomcat yourself, then deploy cf as a WAR file into that. Sadly, deployment of cf as a war for PRODUCTION would only work with a cf Enterprise LICENSE, not cf Standard.  ... View more

I have a similar question regarding manual updates.  I must apply manual update 7 on 2018 due to the UI issue on the hotfix screen in CF2018 admin.  The instructions state to use the JVM that came installed with CF, but the JVM actually points to a different location.  should the newer JVM be used to manually install the update, or the stock on that came with CF?   long story short, also need to install update 16 but cannot get to it through the UI.  attached is a summary of what I'm trying to accomplish ...

Thanks for confirming. There have been a couple of report issues then, it seems. But glad yours is solved--and now more people may find this solution.   As for digging into a jar, well, they're just zips, so digging in can be interesting (though I wasn't proposing it). But often there's just one or more class files, and while one could decompile those (caveat below), you're left with Java source that's often hard to decipher. Such hotfixes expand on/modify classes already built into cf, and trying to understand all that is beyond the interest of all but the most intrepid adventurers. 🙂 It's also technically a violation of the EULA, which is perhaps why we hear so little discussion of it.  ...

So potentially, this must be a race condition - the second request recreates the mapping, and presumably there's a period of nanoseconds where the mapping doesn't exist for the first request. I guess that makes sense, but I'm surprised the mapping isn't stored for the duration of the request - i.e. every iteration of the loop has an include, and I presume the include code is looking directly at the application-wide mapping. ...

Todd, yes, you could uninstall that--which would offer to uninstall both the solr and pdfg (cfhtmltopdf) support in that.   Or those on cf2021 and above can indeed use cfpm, where it's the "search" (not solr) package you'd remove.   I appreciate that such things are not as obvious as they could be. I don't work for Adobe and can't make any improvements, so I help here and elsewhere as i can. 🙂  ... View more

I know I am late to this "party," but I think I discovered a trick within the CF Administrator that seems to work.  From Package Manager > Available Packages uninstall one package.  I am not sure it matters, but I selected MySQL.  Then, reinstall that package.  I received a message that read CF will install Update 10 (the latest at the time of this writing) and all other updates before reinstalling MySQL.  I proceeded, and although I had to restart CF manually, the latest updates were installed along with the reinstall of the MySQL package.  This worked on two different machines with CF2021. ...

We started using an Amazon image for CF2021 a few months ago, and this issue remains unresolved through Update 10.  However, this is my workaround: if you link to the Server Settings page directly (as opposed to letting the UI pass it through an index page with Javascript), it should load correctly.  I've set up direct browser bookmarks for my instances, and they work reliably. The direct link: [your-IP-and-port]/CFIDE/administrator/settings/version.cfm ... View more

Doug, two very important points, one temporary and the other long-standing.   1) As for you not finding that tracker ticket, I can confirm that currently NO tracker tickets are appearing. That's a bug that I've never seen but surely it will be sorted out soon.   2) As for your other point, sadly it's no longer true that a fully updated cf2021 (or 2018) should be expected to include all known hotfixes released in the past couple of years.   a) This started becoming an issue with updates in late 2021, specifically cf2021 update 2 (and cf2018 update 12). There were many bugs introduced, some fixed within weeks, that one would at first have to find in tracker, of course.   b) But then the next 2 updates had security fixes only. Sadly, people had to know to carry their hotfixes forward each time.   I and others (and Adobe) started explaining this need and how to do it--including the option to recover the hotfix jars from the backup/lib/updates folder created with each update, within the hf-updates folder for the last update applied.    I could see this was going to be trouble, and I started expressing concern publicly in various venues.    c) Then the updates in late 2022 (cf2021 update 5 and cf2018 update 15) had a mix of sec and bug fixes--yet some old ones like this remained inexplicably left out.   d) And so it has continued for other updates since; indeed, all the updates in 2023 have to this point again been security fixes only.  And I understand security fixes are important.    What I don't understand is the failure to incorporate known bug fixes from now 2 years ago. I've made loud public and private complaints at various points and in different places about this matter, for nearly 18 months, but sadly here we are.    Very unfortunate state of affairs. Not clear why someone at Adobe hasn't taken the bull by the horns and resolved this.   While it may affect only a subset of users (those affected specifically by these lingering bugs, long-since fixed), it affects them significantly and is negligent.   While I'll more often be found deflecting unfounded criticism against Adobe or the CF team, this is one of a very few things that I find totally mistifying and unjustifiable.  ...

I recently upgraded to ColdFusion 2021 Update 9 and I am experiencing a similar issue. When setting the java version in the jetty lax file to any version greater than Java Version: 11.0.16.1 I get a server error.   Putting it back to 11.0.16.1 resolves the issue. I am a bit concerned that I cannot run a more secure version of Java. From a security stand point, how serious is this?   2nd issue I just came across is that cfhtmltopdf no longer outputs the "Calibri" font. It just displays blank text. Switching to "Arial" works.

Suman, there was a bug in the original connector (wsconfig). Since you say this is a new install, don't try to use wsconfig UNTIL AFTER you apply at least update 2 of CF2021. (The cf update also updates the wsconfig tool--but it does not RUN the tool.)    To be clear, the latest update for 2021 (update 8) came out Friday, Jul 14.   Let us know how it goes.  ... View more

Hi @Vishnu22410012h6s8  One way is always to launch the wsconfig utlity. Go to \ColdFusion2021\cfusion\runtime\bin and Rght click on wsconfig.exe and run as administrator.

Other way is to check the ColdFusion2021\config\wsconfig folder and verify if there is any folder like "1", "2" etc and check the folder content.  ... View more
