I have a new computer that’s been a challenge to set up…I’m a web developer, not a computer tech which is the problem. I have Windows11 Pro, installed ColdFusion2023 and on my Windows10 use MS Access 2013 (yeah, I know, it’s old, but it has always worked perfectly for me) when developing sites on my local host. On my old computer, which ran CF10, I’d use ODBC32 to connect…but I’d have to connect it first in Windows ODBC32, then add […]
In my recent work on migrating older projects to ColdFusion 2023, I encountered the need to recreate the functionality of the deprecated CFMENU tag. Although I hadn’t used CFMENU before, adapting to the new environment prompted me to develop a solution using custom tags. I propose creating two custom tags to replicate the required functionality. Let’s refer to Adobe’s documentation for CFMENU as an example: https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-tags/tags-m-o/cfmenu.html We need to create 2 Custom tags: Menu.cfm: <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly=”Yes”> <cfparam name = “Caller.oldstatus” […]
ColdFusion 2023 fails with 500.0 error when run via IIS.
Last time, most of my work involved migrating sites from pretty old versions of ColdFusion, mainly versions 9 or 10, to ColdFusion 2023. Despite the fact that the sites were created by different developers, the task was relatively straightforward. In most cases, we simply needed to correct ‘cfsql’ types in ‘cfqueryparam’. For instance, we could perform a bulk replace to change ‘cf_sql_int’ to ‘cf_sql_integer’. The process becomes more complicated when dealing with issues related to reserved words, especially when they […]
Recently, during the migration of one of our sites to ColdFusion 2023, an unexpected error cropped up, causing around 30% of bulk emails to go undelivered. When attempting to resend these emails, a peculiar pattern emerged – the same percentage of undelivered emails persisted, but with different recipients. In our ColdFusion server, we meticulously configured mail server settings. However, for our transactional emails, we leverage MailSender, which operates through its own SMTP server and can seamlessly integrate with the cfmail […]
Old installation cleanup.
I don’t want to spam this blog with the wrong content, so wondered where I should add details of a problem we are having with CF2021 Hotfix 12 issues which is breaking CF?
Adobe has an agreement with Oracle, for granting distribution rights for Java with its products to its customers. This means that Adobe will continue to handle distribution and support for Oracle Java SE for its ColdFusion customers. Adobe ColdFusion customers can run their Adobe ColdFusion applications on Oracle Java SE 11 JDK (for CF2021) and 17 JDK (for CF2023) with the Java installers provided with the Adobe ColdFusion product without procuring a separate license from Oracle, provided that customers don’t […]
Since the end of October, I have not been able to make a connection to either an Azure database or a share drive. I have the database in ODBC 64 using ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server and I have no issues making the connection here, but I cannot get Cold Fusion to connect in Data Sources. Are there more files I need to install or configuration changes to get this to work? I am using CF 2021 Developer Edition.
