I am interested in developing in ColdFusion 11... or in 2016 (it doesn't really matter). I see a 30 day trial for the ColdFusion 2016. Is the Developer version "free" or not? What happens at the end of the 30 day trial?

Wildcard certificates on my ColdFusion 11 are expired, i am having the new certificates with me. How to import and install new certificates on the CF Servers

Hey all,

We have a bit of an odd issue on one of our Linux CentOS 7 64bit servers with ColdFusion 11 Enterprise (latest patches installed), when we use features in CFImage we get the following logged errors:

ERROR

"Error","ajp-bio-8014-exec-5","03/13/17","15:29:25",,"Could not initialize class javax.media.jai.JAI The specific sequence of files included or processed is: /home/test/public_html/test.cfm, line: 8 "

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class javax.media.jai.JAI

  at coldfusion.image.Image.crop(Image.java:1177)

  at coldfusion.runtime.CFPage.ImageCrop(CFPage.java:7683)

SYSTEM

Any ideas on what could be the issue here? We have done an update on the JAVA version and also checked that all jai_core.jar/jai_codec.jar/jai_imageio.jar are present and correct.

Cheers!

I have an application that uses cfimage to load an image which is then resized (using imageresize) and overlaid with a watermark (using imagepaste).   It had been running for some time on a UNIX platform and now fails.  The error message is "could not initialize class javax.media.jai.JAI. 

The error occurred with imageresize(imagename,300,"",highestPerformance)  and I can get past that error by using imageresize(imagename,300,"",highPerformance).

However the same error then occurs on Imagepaste(image1,image2,0,0) and I have found no way around that problem.

One development platform is a Win10 CF version 2016,0,03,300466 with Java version 1.8.0_72  and no such errors occur on the test system.

Another development platform is a Win10 CF version 2016,0,0,297996 with Java version 1.8.0_72 and no errors occur on that test system.

The production systems is UNIX CF versionj 2016,0,03,30046 with Java version 1.8.0_72 and errors occur there so the application no longer runs.

The production system is a hosted system that I cannot change or track what has changed but the hosts have not succeeded thus far in finding a fix to this problem.  Need to make some progress on this ASAP.

I'm tasked with installing Cold Fusion 9 on a box that already has Cold Fusion 7 on it.  They really want to have them running side by side.

I have a few questions on this, and I'm hoping community support could help guide me in the best direction.

1) From what I have read it is highly suggested to run only instance of CF on a server.  Can anyone further prove or dispel that suggestion?

2)  I have the tag changes since version 5 and above as my first resource link below.  If we would move to strict CF 9, should it be relatively easy to upgrade?

3) If I was going to have CF 9 and CF 7 run silmuntaneously on the same server it was suggested to install the new version first, and then the old version.  Well this server already has CF 7 running on it.  I don't think it would be wise to uninstall CF 7 just to install CF 9 first.  Do you agree?

4)  If the versions were running side by side, what is the indicator that says one site or app runs which version of CF?  My initial and limited experience with CF 9 is that it is site based.

Any other help or guidance on this issue?

Thanks,

Hi,

i want to create a redirect to non latin URLs like

<cflocation url="https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Заглавная_страница" statuscode="302" addtoken="no"  />

But in this case i will be redirected to

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20_

So the result is that i got the wrong URL.

What can i do? suggestions?

Thanks

CF trows me out every time I try to submit the DSN

the page http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm?target=%2FCFIDE%2Fadministrator%2Fdata sources%2Findex.cfm  gives an error (There was an error accessing this page. Check logs for more details).

It's on my new installed local develop machine.

I suspect something has been done wrong with the insatllatieon

Somebody an idea?

ps

Application log tells me: There was an error while verifying the token. Either the session timed out or un-authenticated access is suspected.

In ColdFusion 10 Administrator > Data & Services > Flex Integration > Flash Remoting. The description says, "Lets a Flash client connect to this ColdFusion server and invoke ColdFusion Components (CFCs). NOTE: Disabling this feature also disables ColdFusion server monitoring and multiserver monitoring." I don't think we run any monitoring. However, is there a way for me to verify that before I disabled this option?

I'm using cfscript to create a (fairly) large xlsx spreadsheet.  As I was developing the script and the spreadsheet grew in size, I started getting the following error when attempting to open the spreadsheet:

I narrowed down the problem to my use of the functions used to format cells (specifically, SpreadSheetFormatCell and SpreadSheetFormatCellRange).  I found that by commenting out some of those function calls, the error would disappear.

After much trial and error, I've now come to believe that the issue isn't incorrect usage of the formatting functions, but rather some sort of internal limit I'm running into.  I threw together a simple test case to show this.  The following code (named "bigSheetTest.cfm" on my system) can be used to show the problem (at least on my machine):

<cfscript>
maxrows = 725;


formatBoldCenter = StructNew();
formatBoldCenter.bold = "true";
formatBoldCenter.alignment = "center";
formatBoldUnderlineCenter = StructNew();
formatBoldUnderlineCenter.bold = "true";
formatBoldUnderlineCenter.bottomborder = "medium";
formatBoldUnderlineCenter.alignment = "center";
formatNumber = StructNew();
formatNumber.dataformat = "##,####0.00";
formatMoney = StructNew();
formatMoney.dataformat = "$##,####0.00";

xls = SpreadSheetNew("Big Sheet", true);

row = 1;
bps = 30;

for(bp=1;bp LE bps;bp++) {
          col = 3*bp - 2;          SpreadSheetMergeCells(xls, row, row, col, col+2);          SpreadSheetSetCellValue(xls, "Reporting Period #bp#", row, col);          SpreadSheetSetCellValue(xls, "Current RG", row+1, col);          SpreadSheetSetCellValue(xls, "Hours", row+2, col);          SpreadSheetSetCellValue(xls, "Current OT", row+1, col+1);          SpreadSheetSetCellValue(xls, "Hours", row+2, col+1);          SpreadSheetSetCellValue(xls, "Current", row+1, col+2);          SpreadSheetSetCellValue(xls, "Cost", row+2, col+2);
}

lastCol = bps * 3;

row++;
SpreadSheetFormatCellRange(xls, formatBoldCenter, row, 1, row, lastCol);
row++;
SpreadSheetFormatCellRange(xls, formatBoldUnderlineCenter, row, 1, row, lastCol);

row++;

for(i=1;i LE maxrows;i++) { // 724 ok, 725 results in Excel error "Excel found unreadable content in 'bigSheetTest.xlsx'.  Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook?  If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes."          for(bp=1;bp LE bps;bp++) {                    col = 3*bp - 2;                    SpreadSheetSetCellValue(xls, i*col/(i+3), row, col);                    SpreadSheetSetCellValue(xls, i*col/(i+4), row, col + 1);                    SpreadSheetSetCellValue(xls, i*col/(i+5), row, col + 2);                    SpreadSheetFormatCellRange(xls, formatNumber, row, col, row, col + 1);                    SpreadSheetFormatCell(xls, formatMoney, row, col + 2);          }          row++;
}

SpreadSheetWrite(xls, "C:\bigSheetTest.xlsx", true);

</cfscript>

Notice the "maxrows" variable at the top of the code.  When set to 724 (on my machine) the resulting spreadsheet may be opened without error.  However, if I change that variable to 725, Excel complains with the error "Excel found unreadable content in 'bigSheetTest.xlsx'.  Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook?" when I try top open the spreadsheet.  Any ideas on what causes this issue and how to avoid it?

If you are not able to recreate this problem with maxrows set to 725, try increasing the value until you get the problem.

Here are the specifics on my environment:

Windows 7 Enterprise (64 bit) with 8 Gig of RAM, Intel Core i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz

Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010

Microsoft Excel Version 14.0.7106.5001 (32-bit)

The FileUpload() and <cffile> method throw an error if you upload files with special characters like "öäu".

Everything is set to UTF-8. With ColdFusion 11 we did not have this problem.

Does anybody has any idea?

Regards

Andy

One of my site which runs on ColdFusion is opening debugging site instead of normal site. Whatever option i click on the site there is a ColdFusion debugging window opening. I the home page of the site also i am getting options Debug this page and Docked debug pane. What might be the cause for this sudden change . How to resolve it ?

In another thread here, someone made the comment today about CF2016 that they "plan to never upgrade to it. I've read too many forum and blog posts regarding issues with it."

I thought that was a pretty stunning statement, and unduly damning if asserting that many people are hitting some issue that remains unresolved.

I started to offer my reply to it there, but as the reply grew in length (to cover more possibilities and offer help), I thought better of de-railing that thread from its main discussion. So I have created this new thread here and I will point there to this. I have not linked here to that thread, as I'm not trying to make this at all a personal thing toward the commenter. I just want to respond to the comment, whoever might make it. I'm sure others have made it, and I think it deserves more consideration.

So to be clear, since all I do all day is CF server troubleshooting (as an independent consultant, helping about a hundred clients per year), I just want to go on record to say:

I'm not aware of any issues with CF2016 specifically, affecting some large percentage of folks moving to it, which should lead someone to conclude that they should not move to CF2016.  I do have four clarifications to make on that equally broad statement.

1. First, I'll say I have easily a hundred clients who've been running CF2016, and again I'm not aware of any issues affecting a large percentage of folks trying to move to it which a) have proven to be CF2016-specific, or b) didn't have a solution or bug fix. (Of course, I realize there are likely unresolved bugs in CF2016, and they may be affecting some, sure.)
2. Consider also that there have been five CF2016 updates since it's release. They have included hundreds of bug fixes. And sometimes what one may read in a forum or blog post (or tweet or slack thread or FB post) could be from a time BEFORE that fix was made available. Or the people talking about it may not yet have applied it, or may not realize that there are updates one can apply.
3. I will note also that some problems may have been unique to the original CF 2016 installer, when it was released in Feb 2016. There was a new installer in Dec 2016 (removing the bundled API Manager installer and including update 3 and other changes), and yet another in Apr 2017 (for Windows Server 2016, primarily), and those have implemented some things slightly differently, so it pays to know which installer one had used when trying to understand why problems seen by some people are not seen by others.
4. Beware also that what some people complain about as a "CF2016 problem" may really be a problem they're hitting in moving to CF2016 from 10 or 9 or 8, etc, skipping 11 or 10 in the process. I help with that often, where problems folks hit are not ones unique to CF2016, but instead they would have hit them if moving to 11 or 10. There was of course a big gulf between 9 and earlier, and 10 and later, with the change to Tomcat from JRun. And CF11 made changes to charts that affected those using them, and another with cfprocparam and dbvarname. And each release may have its own other compat issues, that generally carry forward. (I document those in a talk I did on what was "new in CF 10, 11, and 2016 that you may have missed", at carehart.org/presentations. I need to draw those out into a blog post.)

Anyway, I understand that sometimes folks will see people reporting problem X in CF2016, or (as in this commenter's case) perhaps many people reporting problems X, Y, and Z. I'm just saying that often such problems have since been resolved, and maybe the reports are old, or the people reporting them have not availed themselves of bug fixes or updates.

If anyone might want to share some big issue that I seem to not be thinking of (not some unique thing affecting only seemingly few, but something that seems to be affecting many), please share your thoughts.

I was torn between creating a blog post (on my own site or the CF community portal) and creating this forum thread. For now, since I do want to engender comment in case I'm missing something, I've started with this. I will then blog it after some time (so let me know if you may want me to acknowledge your contributions or not, if I would add some that I'm missing).

I have a 2 member cluster.  If member A is running member B will not start.  If I have member B running member A will not start.  The member that fails to start will eventually time out (Window Service) with this error:

Hi,

We have the folder path called /api and after we upgraded from Coldfusion 10 to Coldfusion 2016 the Coldfusion module inside that folder is not longer working. It's giving us the status error code 500. Different folder path is fine only particular folder /api won't work. Please help!!.

Thank you.

The core server localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator brings up a page just fine.

localhost:8250/CFIDE/ brings up a directory search, but adding administrator to the end produces a blank page with no HTML at all. administrator/index.cfm does the same. However, putting an index.cfm in the root of the IIS site directory and navigating to localhost:8250/ opens that cfm file just fine. I must be missing some property setting/permission, but I've followed the two following guides to the letter.

Environment: Windows Server 2012 R2. The only installs on it are IIS and CF 2016, all developer settings, using coldfusion internal server..

What are my likely failure points?

Hey -

I recently upgraded our ColdFusion10 to ColdFusion 2016 Upgrade 3. After the initial upgrade, I opened CF Admin as local host in my browser and completed the migration settings as their instructions stated in the coldfusion-2016-lockdown-guide. After that was complete, I logged in and Server Upgrade stated I needed to upgrade to version 4. Followed the instructions, and rebooted the server to be certain the services would start, but 1 of the three services do not start.

- ColdFusion 2016 Application Server service. The error is below:

I typically have the service running as a service account (which has full permissions to my ColdFusion 2016 server on my E:\) I thought that my be my original issue, but when I switched it back to running as the Local System, it still will not start.

Event Viewer isn't much help stating "The ColdFusion 2016 Application Server service could not be started.  Check the server "cfusion" log files for more information." Not really sure what log files I should be opening, and the ones I'm picking do not seem very helpful.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I recently spoke to an agent from technical support about CF licensing and he said he will connect me to someone from sales team but I never got a call back so I will try to get an answer here.

I don’t know which edition of CF I need to buy, standard or enterprise. I was informed licenses are issued on a Core basis. So if I’m using 2 VMs with 4 cores each, which edition do I need? And how many licenses? Can you send me a full description on how the licensing works? I can’t seem to find anything that helps on the website.

This is a problem that was first observed with CF8 using the cfchart tag. We have since upgraded to CF2016 and it still exists. Perhaps this is a programming error on our part but here is the issue:

Trying to create a pie chart. In this case I has 4 data items. Two of them have 0 values and the other two each have a value of 50 (representing percentages).

This is in response to a title to this posing as a question... How do you feel today?

We just had a new client start using our site and when they upload their TIFF files to us and my system tries to convert them to a PDF I receive this error:

"Unsupported combination of photometric interpretation, samples per pixel, and bit depth. "

Yet when we have our customer service team go in and manually convert and merge them using Acrobat Pro it does so with no problems. Has anyone seen this or have any idea's on how to possibly fix it before pushing back against our client to change their files?

Thanks,

Colin
