Hello,

Is anyone else seeing this on startup / login to ColdFusion ServerManager?

CONFIRM!

"Failed to read the scheduled tasks from myServerName.

Continue to read charting settings from myServerName?"

I'm running Coldfusion Standard 10.0.5.283319 on a remote Win 2008R2 64 bit webserver.

ServerManager version is v1 but this seems different than the one that came with CF9 where it worked just fine.

Thanks,

Jack Ring

We recently migrated our web site to a new server running CF9 (64-bit, Windows 2003) and I had several scheduled tasks that run on a night basis. So I set up the tasks in the CF Administrator but when try and run them via the administrator I get an error and the in the Scheduler Log I get a "400 Bad Request". Now the URLs defined in the scheduler is a page on our site under our domain (e.g. http://www.lake-link.com/scheduledTasks/daily.cfm ect) (This is not a working URL but just an example for this). If I run the link in a web browser it works fine, but it continues to get a 400 bad request when run in the CF Administrator. Now when I change the URL in the CF Administrator to localhost (http://localhost/scheduledTasks/daily.cfm) it works fine but I do not want to do this as there will be other domains on this server and each of them will have their own scheduled tasks and local host can only be defined for a single site. Is this an IIS setting or security setting? Why would the URL be getting a 400 Bad Request from within CF and not when I run it via a browser? Any help is appreciated!!!

Occasionally I've seen a strange situation where ColdFusion scripts are running normally, but the Windows Services manager shows "ColdFusion 9 Application Server" is stopped. This has happened after my monitoring script detected a problem and auto-restarted ColdFusion.

Can anyone tell me how this is possible, and what should I do about it? Other than rebooting, I haven't found any way to get the system back to normal.

Messages in the Event Log when this occurred are, for example:

02:28:39 The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service killed process with pid 1524

02:28:39 The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service for the "coldfusion" server was stopped.

02:28:40 Windows cannot unload your classes registry file - it is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.

02:28:40 Windows saved user [SERVER]\[username] registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.

This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.

02:30:07 The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service for the "coldfusion" server was started.  PID is 6560.

02:30:20 The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service for the "coldfusion" server is restarting.

02:30:22 The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service could not be started.  Check the server "coldfusion" log files for more information.

I haven't seen this behavior when restarting ColdFusion manually, but I've noticed that using "Restart" in the Services manager typically fails. I need to stop ColdFusion, pause a few seconds, and then start the service again. My auto-restart script is programmed to do the same thing.

I'm running ColdFusion 9 Enterprise on Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2, and the ColdFusion service runs under its own user account. The event log messages suggest that's part of my problem, but for security reasons, I don't want to run CF under the system account.

Thanks!

In the CF Admin for Maximum number of threads available for CFTHREAD:

"The maximum number of threads created by CFTHREAD that will be run concurrently. Threads created by CFTHREAD in excess of this are queued.  On Standard Edition, the maximum limit is 10."

In the PDF showing a comparison of various versions of CF:

"CFTHREAD is limited to two additional spawned threads in Standard edition."

It doesn't seem like both those statements can be correct. Can someone explain how the thread limit actually works in the Standard Edition?

I'm moving from CF9 to CF10.  On the new server I've moved things over, and run the suggested lock-down proceedures.  On the CF9 box, I'm using the registry to store client variables.

On the new server I've set it up to use the registry to store client variables.  In the coldfusion-out file, I'm getting errors like:

Jan 15, 2013 15:39:03 PM Information [ajp-bio-8012-exec-4] - Unable to set value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Clients\4210-c8158ffa199 3bc18-7CF31106-90B1-1C19-1B0C24F3BDD33D8C\hitcount: Windows error number 0 occurred.The handle is invalid.

On the new server, CF logs in with its own user whereas on the old system, CF logged in as admin.  I'm guessing this might be the issue. 

Anyone having similar issues or can suggest a solution?  I did a search but most people were either turing off client variables or the answer was from 2006. 

Thanks.

We started testing the migration of one of our main websites from CF9 to CF10 and everything seemed to be going well.  When we started testing our web services though things got a little weird.  All of our web services were throwing error messages.  Both installations co-exist on the same Windows 2008 R2 server running inside of the same instance of IIS.

AXIS error
Sorry, something seems to have gone wrong... here are the details:

Long story short of the hours I spent debugging I discovered that if the web service files were located within an IIS virtual folder this happens.  If I move them to the root of the website or a folder inside of the website they begin to work again.  This behavior is inconsistent with CF8 & CF9 as our websites in development and production under those are running their web services from an IIS virtual folder.

Anyone have an explanation, fix, or work around relating to this?

Hello,

Has anyone else tried to use CF with Java 8 preview? If you have tried Java 8 preview have you noticed anything interesting?

Something to share. Java 8 uses memory differently to Java 7 or 6 (reminder Java 6 is EOL). The non heap memory Permanent generation has been done away with and is now consumed in a new memory space called Metaspace. I guess that will mean CF folks will not see the dreaded “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space” in coldfusion-out.log anymore.

For interested readers here is my CF10 Summary part:

I should add Java 8 is preview and not officially support by Adobe CF so do not install it on your CF production or any environment that you rely on.

Java 8 release is expected March 2014. That might seem a long way off but like the previous Java 7 release can creep up on you rather quickly.

Regards, Carl.

Running CF Version  9,0,1,274733

One of our error reports showed:

----------------------------------------------------------------

Error Page: /CFIDE/beta.cfm

Query String: page=quickly

HTTP Referer: [removed for this post]/CFIDE/beta.cfm?page=quickly

Diagnostics: ColdFusion could not delete the file C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\servers\coldfusion\SERVER-INF\temp\wwwroot-tmp\session_log0.txt for an unknown reason.

----------------------------------------------------------------

This pointed us to that beta.cfm file that was somehow put into the CFIDE root.  No FTP access to that directory and they have cleared the CF logs so no real record of what might have been done.  Did find a few CF files that had been modified around the same time but nothing in them seemed out of the ordinary.  Have removed access to them for now to be safe.

Any suggestions on where to start to figure out how they got that file into the CFIDE root?  I do have the file (moved out of CFIDE) which I can supply but it's encrypted...

Appreciate any help.

Hello,

tried to update our current CF installation (Windows 2008 R2, CF 11, update 7, java 1.8.0_77) to the latest update.

First time in my CF update history I was not able to "download" or "download and install" in CF administrator so I manually downloaded and put hotfix_008.jar in directory cfusion\hf-updates. After that options in CF administrator changed to "Re-download" and "Install". Tried to click on both buttons but again nothing happens (like before when clicking on "download" and "download and install".

Are there any issues / has ColdFusion 10 been tested with the latest Windows Server 2012 R2 version?

Thanks, Henry

So I've been dealing with this for years now, since version 8 and now with version 9 of

Coldfusion.  I can't ever get my multi-server monitor to monitor more than the local server from which I run the multiserfver monit

or.  I've edited the multiservermonitor-access-policy.xml to use the following line:

<allow-access-from domain="*" />

However, that doesn't work even after restarting Coldfusion.

Does anyone have this working?  I think I'm about to buy fusion-reactor so I can actually monitor my servers but it's always frustrating when something that should be pretty simple just doesn't work right.  Thanks in advance for any input.

I have just installed CF 10 locally on a Windows 7 machine and I am having troubles with my password. I have used the passwordreset.bat file, and still no luck.

I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling CF 10. I'm pulling my hair out over here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ok I see this problem all over the web but most of the posts are many years old and still leave me a little confused.  Often at random times on the same tags like CFLDAP I get the error "Unable to create new native thread".  Then a few minutes later the same tag on the same page works just fine.

I have 4GB of memory in this box with 1400 MB set as the maximum Java heap size by the way.

Here are my arguments from the jvm.config file.

I could really use some help figuring this out.  We are getting random errors a few times a day and usually in places where we are using CFLDAP.

To anyone who is using a CGI webserver (like Apache), USCERT recently released a notice of a security vulnerability.  It's worth checking out:

http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/797896

HTH,

^_^

I understand that Coldfusion try to cache queries up to a maximum n. of queries as specified in the admin page.

How can I know if the query cache is working too much, because the max number is too low?

Or if the memory used by query cache is too high?

I use standard Edition.

Do I need some monitoring tools (seeFusion,fusionreactor etc), or I can have this information from admin api?

I only have VisualVM, but I guess it's difficult to understand it from raw java threads

thank you

I recently migrated a legacy Windows 2003 Server running several ColdFusion 8 websites to a new Windows 2012 virtual server running ColdFusion 11. After much testing, everything is pretty much running smoothly, with one exception. I have a few Scheduled Tasks that are setup in ColdFusion Administrator with a "Timeout (in seconds)" value ("7200") that is greater than the "Timeout Request after seconds" value ("60") set in the Server Settings > Settings. When any of these Scheduled Tasks runs, they timeout at 60 seconds.

Is this a bug, a known issue, or expected behavior?

Will using CFSETTING with a "requesttimeout" value within the template file resolve this?

Thank you,

Eric

Greetings,

I just finished installing CF11 on windows server 2008. The installation went thru without any issues, but when I go to CF administration page and type my password it says it is the wrong one. Can someone help?

Thanks,
