CFMAIL stopped working after CF21 Update 21

CFMAIL has been working up until update 21 and now I receive this error when an email is trying to be sent. I have updated the JVM to the latest version supported for CF21 as well to see if that resolved the issue, but it doesn’t. This is CF21 Update 21 running on Server 2019.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Enable WebSocket Over SSL in ColdFusion

In this blog, we’ll walk through the process of enabling SSL for ColdFusion WebSocket communication. Whether you’re using a self-signed certificate or a CA-signed certificate, the steps are straightforward. We’ll cover both scenarios If you are using a self-signed certificate, your ColdFusion server must also be running over SSL. Create a Self-Signed Certificate: You can generate a self-signed certificate using the keytool utility bundled with Java. This certificate will enable SSL in ColdFusion. Navigate to the JRE bin directory in your ColdFusion installation […]

cfquery array of arrays (multidimensional arrays)

How do I create a multidimensional array from a cfquery resultset output as an array (CF2021)?  I have a second query that has multiple values that matches a column (many to one) in the first query that would be the subarray.  I want them merged to make one array.  Is there a way to do this without looping through the first query and appending the second query now that cfquery can output an array?  It seems like this would be […]

ColdFusion 2021 to ColdFusion 2023 – Upgrade Script

Hi There, I was wondering if anyone has a ColdFusion 2021 to ColdFusion 2023 (or 2025) migration Powershell script? Specifically, the section around importing the settings from 2021 into 2023 or 2025. Running ColdFusion 2021, U20 and looking to migrate instances over to either ColdFusion 2023 or ColdFusion 2025 soon. Appreciate that password fields, such as mail and database configurations, will probably still need to be reconfigured manually. Did a bunch of these from 2018 to 2021 without scripts, and […]
