Hello,

We upgraded from Coldfusion 9 to Coldfusion 11.

System:

OS: Windows 2008 r2 64bit

Ram: 16 gb

Steps I took to do this upgrade.

1. uninstalled CF 9

2. uninstalled current version of java

3. reboot system

4. install latest Java 1.8.x

5. install Coldfusion 11

6. run coldfusion 11 updates

7. configured all datasources and settings in cfusion instance. (didn't want to import from 9)

8. test cfusion instance to make sure everything is working.

9. create are new instances for the websites. (4)

10. sign in to each instance and tweak settings.

11. assign 1 site to each instance for testing.

12. test the each site and make sure everything is still working.

13. follow Adobe lockdown guide as much as we can.

14 retest everything still seems fine.

run 6-12 hours and I get random crashes.

suddently get CF errors saying can't find includes which is a false error.

in the coldfusion-out.log I get this when the issue happens

after getting these errors and doing a google search I saw the connector tuning steps.

so I tried that but still get the same crashes.

I don't know what to look at next, I'm at a total loss on this issue since everything ran fine in CF 9.

Thank you in advance for any help and if you need more information let me know.

In reviewing the CFHTMLTOPDF tag, it seemed like it would meet our needs.  Everything seemed to test well until things went into production.

Continuous requests caused the following error:

The content of this document process takes more than 60 milliseconds to process.This timeout value is obtained from the request timeout set in the ColdFusion Administrator. The specific sequence of files included or processed is: C:\Applications\cliq\apps\students\print.cfm, line: 26

I was able to easily overload the our test and development servers to cause the same error by repeatedly calling a page with the CFHTMLTOPDF tag.

Our interim solution was to restart to the Coldfusion Addon Services on the Windows 2012 server.  But I don't think this is ideal as it seems like a relatively low threshhold to be able to crash the process.

Does anyone know of any documentation or settings that could be set to avoid this issue?  We are currently on CF 11 Update 4 Enterprise Edition.

All the best,

Terry

The ColdFusion Administrator site will not take the password.

Has anyone had any issues with programing after the password reset?

I did not develop or program our server, just sort of picking up the pieces until we get a new Enterprise Web Developer.

System Configuration:

HP Proliant ML370 G2

Pentium III 1.3 Ghz x2

2GB RAM

Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2

Macromedia MX 7.0.2

EMS SQL Studio MySQL Servers & Clients 5.0.27

MySQL Admin 1.0

IISLogs 1.0

My OBDC 3.51

Am attempting to upgrade to ColdFusion 10 (patched to current level) on our development network.  We are running Windows Server 2008 R2.  On both of the below instances it worked fine with ColdFusion 8 and 9.

On the first instance the entire site is SSL with the exception of one directory.  The entire site is set to Anonymous Authentication Disabled and Windows Authentication Enabled for the entire site except for the one directory that is not SSL.  On ColdFusion 10, that one directory that is not supposed to be SSL and have anonymous authentication will not allow access unless you hit it with an https: and authenticate.  It ignores the settings for that directory and uses the overall site settings.

On another instance the entire site is set to Anonymous Authentication except one file (login.cfm) is set to Windows Authentication.  When you enter that site it hits the login.cfm, if you authenticate it gives you more options.  If you don't you still get in but without the extra options.  The system ignores the Windows Authentication and defaults to the overall site's setting of Anonymous Authentication.  I have tried setting the authentication at the site level to both Anonymous and Windows then going through individual directories and changing them to what they should be, but the settings are ignored and it uses the overall site settings.

Is Tomcat somehow overriding the page/folder specific SSL and or Authentication settings?

Hello !

I currently have Coldfusion 9 Enterprise Edition 64 bit installed on a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit server.  I did not notice this before but on this server, both the Coldfusion 9 ODBC Agent & Server services will not start.  I have tried starting them but they start for a second and then stop.  A dialog box then gets displayed which says "The Coldfusion 9 ODBC Agent service on Local Computer started and then stopped.  Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs".  I have checked the event viewer on the server and I am seeing the following messages on the enterprise edition server.

The description for Event ID 0 from source ColdFusion 9 ODBC Agent cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

ColdFusion 9 ODBC Agent@LOCALHOST,ErrorCode=430,ErrorMessage=Failed to open event trace file because the file version is not recognised.

The description for Event ID 0 from source ColdFusion 9 ODBC Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

ColdFusion 9 ODBC Server@LOCALHOST,ErrorCode=430,ErrorMessage=Failed to open event trace file because the file version is not recognised.

The strange this is that I have Coldfusion 9 Standard Edition 64 bit also installed on another Windows 2008 R2 64 bit server and both of the ODBC services on that machine are starting fine.  I have checked the account these services are running under on both servers and both services on both machines are running under the local system account so I am not sure if it is permission related or not.

I would appreciate it if some could assist me in getting these services started and what I need to do.

Thank you.

Hello,

I am not able to get to CF admin after installing CF 10. I am getting a '500 internal server error' along with the following message. How do I get around it? Thanks.

We a running CF 6.1 with a Commonspot content management system with IIS 6.0 as the web server.  The CF Administrator login screen comes up and I am able to enter the password.  Depending upon the browser various error messages (see below) appear that seem to indicate redirect issues between index.cfm and enter.cfm.

There are two IIS web sites (commonspot and Administration) which both have CFIDE in them.  Renaming the "administrator" folder under either web site causes the CF admin page to be not found. I'm looking for any troubleshooting help.  I think there is an issue between index.cfm and enter.cfm in the login process.  The server is virtual so we can snap back the the original state if the new config fails.

Thank you,

Ron Deluce

I'm trying to track down why our servers become unresponsive over time.  After about 3-5 hours CF will start to queue requests and the only thing I can do is restart the services.  I'm not seeing any hints in all of our hardware monitoring that it is a hardware related issue.  Our database servers are fine, the load on the systems are fine but after about 3-5 hours, they'll just start queuing and are unable to recover on their own without a restart.  The only hint I've been able to gather is there will be a large number of locked threads.      

Our ColdFusionMX 6 is very old, and there is no plan to upgrade this year.  At the same time, the company wants to increase security and implement SHA2 certificate and TLSv1.2.  Our current CF is on JRE 1.4, and JRE1.4 doesn't support this.  Is it possible to upgrade our JRE 1.7 on CFMX version 6?  Thanks.

Hi,

CF 10 docs seem a tad thin on the subject of silent / unattended / scripted installation and configuration.

I need to find a fully automated (scripted) way to do these things:

1) install of ColdFusion 10 server in standalone mode

2) create additional servers instances

3) configure each server instance separately (settings, data sources, mappings, etc)

Is this currently possible with CF 10? If yes, where's the documentation?

I'm aiming for a Chef cookbook for performing unattended CF10 installations on a farm of headless Linux hosts. Manual configuration through the Administrator UI is a definite deal breaker here.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Jan

Is anybody using Oracle Dead Connection Detection with ColdFusion?

Services 
 Windows could not stat the ColdFusion I I Application Server on Local 
 Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is 
 a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to 
 service-specific error code 2. 

In the coldfusion administrator I get "The ColdFusion ODBC Server service is not running or has not been installed."  message when I open an existing ODBC datasource. However when I look at the service running on my machine both the Coldfusion 8 ODBC Agent aswell as the Coldfusion 8 ODBC Server services are running!

Configuration:

- Windows Vista Home Edition

- Coldfusion 8,0,0,176276

- Apache 2.2

- ODBC System DSN: Virio Incidents, which points to a local excel file on my system

It used to work fine and as any good user I haven't changed anything :-). So has any one any ideas what is going on?

Regards,

Mike
