November 2019 Seattle ColdFusion User Group Meeting scheduled Wednesday, Nov. 13 in Bellevue, WA and online via ZOOM
I installed ColdFusion 2018 on our Windows 2012 sandbox server with SQL Server 2012 Express installed. I am able to configure several datasources using the CFAdmin which shows OK as the status. But when I try using the connection in a cf page from CFBuilder, I get the error, Datasource AP2 could not be found. The error occurred in D:/ColdFusionBuilder2018/ColdFusion/cfusion/wwwroot/CFTest1/TestDB.cfm: line 3 1 : // script 2 : <cfscript> 3 : myquery = QueryExecute(‘SELECT * FROM artists’, [], {datasource = ‘AP2’}); […]
If you’ve been told by Adobe to apply a special hotfix file (with a name like hf-something.jar), to fix a problem with a recent CF update, just be very careful how you proceed. Either of a couple of wrong moves could leave you feeling “the problem was not fixed” or worse, totally new “inexplicable” problems could occur that “no one else has reported”. Just follow these steps, for safe “update fixing”.

I’ve been developing ColdFusion applications for about 20 years and sometimes I feel like I’m still learning. On occasion it takes stumbling across a feature to realize how something works. Consider the following code: <cfoutput> #NumberFormat(1.5)# </cfoutput> Now… some people might look at that and think, “of course it’s going to display 2.” Honestly, I had no idea. numberFormat() without a mask will round numbers. That seems strange to me, frankly, but live and learn. Try it for yourself. Anyone […]
The error is surprisingly easy to fix–if you know what to do, and where the docs tell you.
