I'm spinning up new AWS EC2 Ubuntu 22.04 instances and trying to run the CF 2018 installer on them (because that's what we have licenses for.) Lately, the installer has been bombing with the following message/stack trace.

Launching installer...

Some google-fu is pointing at the InstallAnywhere app having a problem with the temp directory. I've tried reassigning the temp directory, and increasing the volume and instance size. Nothing is working. The CF 2021 installer does not experience the same issue. I did notice that the description of the AMI from AWS reads "Canonical, Ubuntu, 22.04 LTS, amd64 jammy image build on 2023-02-08" so I'm wondering if this issue was introduced then. Has anyone else run into this?

Does anyone know when forgebox will have the CF2018 rev 16 available for commandbox?

vanilla install of contentbox, running commmandbox latest version., vanilla install of WordPress, latest version, same "localhost" server. When attempting to run the ContentBox import for Wordpress, " Error importing from datasource: not-null property references a null or transient value : cbCategory.site" Anyone else have this error?

I am trying to install the ColdFusion add on (Developers Tools) for the SOLR server, solrinstall, but I get a java error and I was wondering if anybody could help. You can see the java error here - https://johnbarrett.net/cf_error.pdf I am trying to get SOLR working on my Mac. I am running commandBox, and everything works perfect, but I can't get SOLR working. Thanks in advanced for any help!

Having issues trying to establish a connection from ACF 2021 Ent Oracle driver to Oracle DB 19c. The FW rules are in place and telnet from the server works fine, but we are getting a timeout with the CF Oracle Data source definition. Hostname, SID, Port, URL, driver class are correct. We are stumped at why a timeout would occur, which usually indicates a firewall issue, but the firewall is open. Would anyone have any ideas?

Hi 🙂 has anyone the download link for CF2021_certman Module?

Solr question/observations: • Is there a way to do a facet search/query via <cfsearch> or is that restricted to http to Solr directly? • There is no mention of dynamic fields, just custom1...custom4 or any of the other items that were added in CF10. • link on https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/developing-applications/changes-in-coldfusion/solr-enhancements.html to Solr enhancements in ColdFusion 10 - goes nowhere. ◦ I found it on the wayback machine : https://web.archive.org/web/20211205083626/https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/develo[…]a/solr-search-support/solr-enhancements-in-coldfusion-10.html ◦ It looks like it got redirected to a generic page Aug 15, 2022

Someone I know hired an SEO consulting firm to help them improve their rankings. They've done everything the firm told them to, with the exception of changing their backend layer. The firm says it's their app engine (which happens to be Lucee) that's causing the issue. However, their website goes through CloudFlare and they actually cache all the pages on the edge, so the site is essentially static. I know slow speed can affect SEO, but their content generally all returns in < 350ms. When I look at their PageSpeed results, performance gets a 100%. They do get some warnings about "excessive DOM size" and needing a more effective cache policy for static assets, but those are things that are not related to the app engine. Has anyone seen an issue with the app engine (when speed wasn't the factor) hampered SEO?

never

Hey all, just a quick update that I've added Lucee 6 Beta to TryCF.com. I'm waaaay behind on any other improvements (new job and not a lot of time to focus on it much lately). Hopefully can start pushing some improvements soon. Posted in #lucee

Hi Team, I am trying to run command box test from docker container and it's throwing below error. Did a bit of research that points to some cert issue while loading from trustStore.But not able to find the root cause and fix it. Can any1 please help with this one. I checked that the certs are getting loaded from

-<http://Djavax.net|Djavax.net>.ssl.trustStore=/opt/coldfusion/jre/lib/security/cacerts

and these certs are present at the required location

Error executing tests:Unexpected error: java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty

Does anyone here know how to create a pre-signed URL that will force a download vs display inline?

response-content-type=application/octet-stream"

is part of the equation, but I am struggling to make that work with aws-cfml

Has anyone else experienced an oddity with Lucee and JQuery? Closed up shop yesterday with everything working. Woke up this morning and "$ is not a function" type of JQuery errors all over the place. No idea where this came from, affected all servers running one system, but none of the servers running other Lucee installations.

Could getCloudService() be useful for services other than those configured in the CF admin? This is my first go with trying to do anything with AWS via CF. I need to programmatically run CreateInvalidation on an AWS CloudFront service and was hoping I could at least poach some of the v4 signature methods being used to sign the requests. Considering how scant support/documentation for using Lambda with this function is, I figured there might be something available I’m not finding on the user guide (which is a lot unfortunately)

Worked it out - no SPACES... set myVar=myValue works set myVar = myValue doesnt --------------- A quick off-topic question... How do I set and use an environment variable in windows (11) DOS? The following doesn't work - but I am sure it is exactly what I have done before, successfully - and Mr.Google appears to agree with me. set myEnvVar = 'thisIsMyValue' echo %myEnvVar% All it does is print %myEnvVar% - and not the value. Thanks!

This code uploads files from two different file input fields and both upload multiple files. It does a cfloop to iterate over the values of the lists of files in each field. The issue I’m facing is that cffile action=“upload” uploads the same image for both fields. When using cfimage it uploads images correctly, but cfimage is very slow in performance compared to cffile. Can anyone point out what I’m doing wrong? I’ve also tried cffile action=“uploadall” but it is also not working correctly, both cffile action=“uploadall” uploads all the files in the current request. I’m using two multiple file fields because need to rename files according to the fields where they are coming from. The code is in the thread.

When trying to deploy a CAR file in CF Admin (ColdFusion 2021). I am getting a “Malformed URL found.” and the deployment can’t continue. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone, I'm currently doing some research on reading spreadsheet files (.csv and .xls) in ColdFusion and then creating or updating tables in a SQL database based on the data from the spreadsheet file. Does anyone here have any experience with this, advice, or just general direction for this task?

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this, but what link can I give out to someone so they can sign up for this slack? http://cfml-slack.herokuapp.com/ doesn't seem to work.

Hi all, has anyone run into and solved a problem with CF Builder for VSCode where the entire ColdFusion server setup page is dimmed and everything is unclickable? I was stumbling through the whole workspace/project/folder setup a couple of days ago and figured I did something wrong then. Today I uninstalled and reinstalled CFBuilder for VScode, disabled all other extensions, uninstalled/resinstalled CF2021 @update6. It shows that ACF Builder is attached with the VS Code client, but I don't know where to look for clues on how to undo whatever I did so I can add a server. I can uninstall/reinstall VSCode to see if that works, but just wondering if someone already learned the secret of this mystery. (ps - windows 10)

I'm converting an Adobe LiveCycle pdf using Adobe Acrobat Pro. One of the fields I'm populating is an image field from a blob in the database. The user can select a new image which will display in the pdf and I can subsequently read from it and save the value into the database. This works fine when the pdf template was created in Adobe Livecyle. However when I generate the pdf based on Adobe Acrobat Pro, the image fields displays a blank space in the pdf. A cfdump of the image field value shows the value and I can read and display it in the browser. I'm using cfpdfform and cfpdfformparam to populate the image field. Is there some additional work or transformation I need to do in my code or in the pdf template for it to display in the actual pdf?

Hi Guys, I installed CF 2021 enterprise version (window Server 2019) and tried to connect MySQL database but I am getting the below error. Can someone please help me with this?
