How to upgrade from ColdFudion2016 to ColdFusion2023? What are the pricing details of ColdFusion2023?
The ColdFusion API Manager typically comes with default Java versions (1.8.0_112 and 1.8.0_361). However, you may need to upgrade these versions.

Anyone know how to setup a Datasource connection to a MS SQL Server 2016 using Active Directory credentials with CF 2018 enterprise version? Currently we use DB credentials but the business is moving away from that and wants more secure AD account connections. Problem is my CF 2018 installation is on RHEL 7.9 and WebSphere 9.0.5.6 and CF does not run under any AD account that I am aware of. I am thinking there is no way to do what […]
JDK21 introduces a bunch of useful functionalities around thread management such as virtual thread but it also changes things with regards to thread.stop functionality which affects ColdFusion’s implementation for thread’s functionality around termination. First up, let’s understand what’s changing in thread terminate. Why is cfthread.stop handling required? The next release of ColdFusion upgrades Java to JDK21. JDK21 has removed the thread stop method so to certify it we will have to make changes in cfthread terminate and threadterminate which internally […]

The ColdFusion comes with the default Webroot(\<cf_home>\cfusion\wwwroot); however, there are situations where you may need to customize this Webroot directory and point it to a different folder. This blog will walk you through configuring a custom Webroot directory in ColdFusion. Step 1: Take a backup of the existing server.xml file in the (\<cf_home>\cfusion\runtime\conf) directory. This ensures that you can revert to the original configuration if needed. Step 2: Open the server.xml file in a text editor and navigate to the […]
I’ve been programming in ColdFusion for the past 20+ years or so and its time to move on. The Pricing model is ridiculous the support site is terrible. (It was better 20 years ago when you could click on Support and then click on Documentation) What are minor enhancements are now considered major Revisions forcing you to upgrade often even when you pay for support which I think should include free upgrades. If adobe want to keep ColdFusion around they […]

I have run the ‘Web Server Configuration […]
