dateDiff/dateconvert problems when trying to create epoch times

My local server’s timezone is set to UTC-8 – https://www.screencast.com/t/1qqid95lR3v I need to create epoch time for UTC so I’m trying to use the following function: #DateDiff(“s”, “January 1 1970 00:00:00”, dateconvert(“local2utc”, now()))# The dateconvert function does not compute the correct time using any combination. Here is example code: <cfset utcTime = dateconvert(“local2utc”, now())> <cfoutput>  now: #now()#  <br>local2utc: #utcTime#  <br>epoch (now){currentTime:#DateDiff(“s”, “January 1 1970 00:00:00”, now())#}  <br/>epoch (local2utc){currentTime:#DateDiff(“s”, “January 1 1970 00:00:00”, dateconvert(“local2utc”, now()))#}  <br>epoch (utcTimeVar){currentTime:#DateDiff(“s”, “January 1 1970 00:00:00”, utcTime)#} […]

application.cfc sometimes doesn’t load

I have this code in my application.cfc <cfset THIS.serialization.preserveCaseForStructKey = “true” /> <cfset THIS.serialization.preserveCaseForQueryColumn= “true” /> <cfset THIS.serialization.serializequeryas = ‘struct’ /> sometimes like 1 out of 10 times my structures return in upper case and if I don’t use the SerializeJSON(ResultQuery,‘struct’) I also get it in the weird way that cold fusion uses (column and data), which makes me think that it is not loading the application.cfc but it is not consistent. This usually happens when the query or structure […]
