After updating Coldfusion 2021 to update 6, I'm greeted by "The administrator module is not installed." It recommends to use cfpm to "install administrator". This doesn't work and just returns null twice. The website still loads luckily. Any idea what broke or how to fix it. The install log shows 1551 Successes and 0 issues. Thanks.

Just looking for a bit of clarification on generatebcrypthash and whether it tacks on a salt itself or I should do so before hashing?

can’t seem to find info one way or another

After installing update 16 on ACF 2018 this weekend, we are greeted with "Reason: SERVER ERROR - Error occurred while generating PDF" errors all morning. The command on this line is: cfhtmltopdf (which is the only place in our code we use this. We've always gone old school with cddocument... Has anyone else seen an error like this? I did restart the "ColdFusion2018Add-onServices" but it did not help.

Anyone Adobe seen this and have an answer or a pointer to docs for me?

After installing ACF 2018 u16 w/ JVM 11.0.18 last night, our app has blown up. It appears the arrow operators/Lambdas have been regressed. This has been reproduced locally. "varB" is a query results with four columns.

local.varA = local.get_varB.reduce( (val, row) => {
    val.append(row);
    return val;
}, [] );

returns ...$func_CF_ANONYMOUSCLOSURE_413 in the try/catch cause message. by switching the arrow operator to a function, the code starts working. The "regressed" code fix below works:

local.varA = local.get_varB.reduce( function(val, row) {
    val.append(row);
    return val;
}, [] );

I am planning on reporting this to Adobe (@sandip_halder) but wanted to see if anyone had any input on this or have hear the same?

I think you've posted the same code twice? I see no arrow function @Chris Tierney

Thanks... I'm looking.

@Mark Takata (Adobe) I'm looking through the SQS docs today and wondering if Adobe built any event gateway integrations with this as it would be a perfect fit to be able to use the

sendGatewayMessage()

BIF and register a gateway listener to respond to incoming messages with SQS as the backend. It would especially solve the issue of creating a listener, which ATM would require you to build your own CFThread plumbing with long polling enabled for a queue, but all of this could be abstracted perfectly into an event gateways listener that simply response to new messages like the existing ActiveMQ one does.

@sandip_halder @Mark Takata (Adobe) Our cybersecurity scanning team is pitching a fit about the old version of Apache Log4j currently still included in ColdFusion 2018. Specifically, they are complaining about the version 1.2.15 present within

cfusion/lib/cf-logging.jar

. Thoughts on how best to respond?

On the CF Updates XML page, what do the <cfhf_server version=“xxxx”> values mean?

I’m trying to set a connection variable (

statement_timeout

) in the connection string for my PostgreSQL database. I’ve added

statement_timeout=30m

in the Connection String box in the datasource definition, but if I run the query

SHOW statement_timeout

, it shows me a zero. Does anyone have experience with setting variables in PostgreSQL connection strings?

So after installing Solr add-in - I noticed it installed its own version of java 11.0.11+9-LTS-194. I would like to use the same version of java as ColdFusion uses and keep it up to date. I am currently at 11.0.18 (which I downloaded from the ColdFusion download site).

I just saw this: and wanted to pass it on - https://thehackernews.com/2023/03/cisa-issues-urgent-warning-adobe.html

Our last round of Windows OS updates (from March 14, 2023, KB5023765 Microsoft monthly rollup) seem to have killed our local development environments and our staging environment. ColdFusion instances would not restart. Our production environments were not impacted. Windows event viewer shows error "system cannot find the file". There is an Adobe community article that is similar about what to do when ColdFusion instances won't start - when using cfstart.bat, the error that appears is "ERROR: JDWP unable to get necessary JVMTI capabilities". In this thread @carehart also mentions debugging and JDWP. We had to manually adjust the jvm.config for all impacted instances and remove the Java argument "-Xrunjdwp". Changing ports in the argument did not appear to help. After removing the argument we were able to at least start up ColdFusion. Sharing it here in case it helps anyone else, and in case anyone has any ideas about what exactly might have triggered it for us.

I can visit a CFML page via port 80/apache in a browser, and it's served properly, so I know CF is running. But I can't see the CF administrator via port :8500 If I ssh into the machine and run

wget localhost

and

wget localhost:8500

, the first one works, the 2nd one fails

Next week is CF Summit East 2023. Anyone here attending?

Hey all, I will be traveling from tomorrow evening (4/1) through next Friday (4/7) evening in support of ColdFusion Summit East 2023. If you have any emergency issues that need handling, please route them through cfsup@adobe.com (or Priyank/Sandip here). I will try to check the forums for DMs and the like each evening, but there may be a significant delay to responses. Looking forward to seeing some of you all in D.C.!

Hello, I'm recently getting this error "Invalid version number: Version number may be negative or greater than 255" in ColdFusion 2021 when using HTMLTOPDF tag. Has anyone ran into this same issue? Stack trace

Question about how CF handles stability. I don't recall ever seeing CF "crash" per se, like - the whole server/service just stop and need a manual restart. On the other hand, I've worked some with Node.js and have seen the Node process occasionally die, and from what I understand (I've never personally shipped any Node code to a production environment), people use tools like

pm2

to Node restart processes if they die. Does CF just have a great big try/catch around the server itself that I've just never breached, or does it internally use something to quickly restart the process if it dies? Or is Node just shaky as all get-out and people are just firedog this is fine we'll just use

pm2

and it's "good enough" that the stability issues have never been resolved like they have been for CF?

At the Vegas conference, @Mark Takata (Adobe) announced a free tier of ACF on AWS was coming. I thought I saw it on Coalesce's AMI Marketplace awhile back, but now can not find it. Am I missing it somewhere? Did that option go away?

Well, it finally happened. Microsoft shut off basic authentication for email on Tuesday. Has anyone found a reliable solution for email using scheduled tasks (non-interactive) using OAuth 2 and Azure? I've seen a few different posts in various places where people seem to have it working, but they also seem to be using different methods. Support from Microsoft and Adobe have not been helpful so far.

I see that https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4217130 was fixed, but I'm still seeing the issue in 2021.0.06. Is there a hotfix JAR that I can use until it's released? This bug is holding back a migration from CF2016. cc @Mark Takata (Adobe) @priyank_adobe

Does anyone know if Adobe is sticking to the CF2023 promised release before August?

Is there any way to update the Deployment Type of a CF2021 server? If so, how?

I'm doing a CFHTTP hit against https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com. it worked one time, and now gives: I/O Exception: Certificate for <ims-na1.adobelogin.com> doesn't match any of the subject alternative names: [*.ethos02-prod-va6.ethos.adobe.net]. I know for a fact the certificate is valid. Any idea why CF is refusing to hit it a second time?

So related to my last msg. I'm sending a JWT to an endpoint to get an access token. Code works fine in Lucee, not in ACF, and the error mentions that the JWT is not properly encoded. So I'm assuming a slight diff in cfhttp in the two. Has anyone seen this before?

Ignorant question: For CF2021, I want to test a cf upgrade process, but be able to roll it back. Is it valid to save off a copy of the ColdFusion2021 directory, and if I want to roll back, stop cf and put my saved copy of it back where the old one was? Is there a better way?
