Datefield not working in Coldfusion 11

I have just installed CF11 on our dev and QA servers and am getting a strange issue on only one of them. On our QA server, instead of the calandar control showing up when <cfinput type="datefield"> is used, I get the text "Date Picker". I can't find anything on this on any help forums so I was hoping someone has come across this as I can't seem to figure out the issue. What baffles me is that it works fine on one server with the same CF version. Thanks is advance.

Of course, right after I post the question, I find the answer. The CFIDE virtual directory was never created for some reason on my web server so I just had to add that in IIS and it works fine now.

Hi,
I got solution to my problem of webservice is not working in CF8.
the problem was
we have already a "rt.jar" file in a location and we defined this location in CF Admin >> java jvm >> classpath
so this file was conflicting.
i simply removes this file path from CF Admin.
and restart the CF services.
and my web service start working.

The internal html viewer is not working in coldfusion builder 2.

It is so frustrating how hard this is. I finished setting up coldfusion and coldfusion builder 2 with an apache local webserver and was hoping to make use of the internal html viewer but it won't come on! All I see is a blank grey page with no content. After creeping around the forums for a while it seemed that the simplest solution was to use the internal coldfusion server so I uninstalled everything and did just that, reverting my administrator page to http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm (working and launchable from the IDE), placing my webroot at C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot and with all the folders in their right place. The server is running ok and when I launch the run as "coldfusion administrator" option to run my index file, it succesfully opens the external browser and displays the page.
I have the same setup on my desktop at home, the same files, installation, everything! and it works but not on my laptop. I followed Ben Forta's instructions to a T and yet I still am not getting the html preview. I even tried to hard code the absolute url in the html preview settings and still nothing but that annoying grey.
Is this a bug? There doesn't seem to be anything about it in the bug reports. It is quite infuriating how something that seems so miniscule could be such an annoyance. I have already gotten quite used to the preview pages and coldfusion and I would prefer to code that way rather than making use of dreamweaver which I feel I am being forced to use, but at least it's consistent.
Please if anyone could provide some answers and help I would really appreciate it! I have only so much hair left!
Thanks!

Perhaps others may recognize and resolve this for you. I and others here often can and do offer quick solutions to many problems. And I can appreciate that it’s reasonable to think that something so simple should just work. But in this case I think are simply too many variables that could explain why things are not working for you. And while I can also appreciate that you will prefer to get a solution for free if anyone can offer it, I just can’t even begin to offer all the possible problems and solutions, at least by email, in this case. Again, maybe someone else will make a quick connection.
But I will point out that if you’re willing to pay US$75, I offer a service of remotely troubleshooting any one CFBuilder problem for that fixed price. Hopefully I might help you solve it quickly (when I can see exactly what’s going on in your environment), but you will not pay if I don’t solve the problem in up to 2 hours effort. If you may be interested, see www.carehart.org/consulting/ for more, and if you want to set up a time to get together (over the web), drop me an email at [email protected]
Finally, please note that I don’t often point out this service here on the forums. I generally just offer suggestions (sometimes lengthy ones) without any commercial expectation, so please don’t regard this as me engaging in “abusive unsolicited commercial email”. I’m just offering a possible solution, given the OPs sincere challenge in solving things.

Substr function not working in coldfusion sql

Hi all,
I am using coldfusion 7.0.2 with oracle 10g. I've the
following simple query
select substr(colname,1,3) from tablename
this query works fine if i run it using TOAD or SQLPLUS but
when i run this query in coldfusion script i get the following
error
[Table (rows 9 columns SUBSTR(colname,1,3)):
[SUBSTR(colname,1,3): coldfusion.sql.QueryColumn@fc7be7] ] is not
indexable by SUBSTR(colname
can anybody tell me why it doesn't work in coldfusion but
works fine in sqlplus?
thank you

There's no such thing as "coldfusion sql" (sic). Everything
between the
<cfquery> tags is simply resolved (ie: CF runtime
statements between
pound-signs) and passed straight to the DB drivers, and
thence to the DB
itself. CF does no SQL processing at all.
Your error kind of suggests a syntac error AFTER the query
has been
executed though.
Could you post some code, and point out which precise line is
erroring?

CSS not working in ColdFusion 8

We just upgraded from ColdFusion MX7 to ColdFusion 8 and all of our CSS that worked in MX7 suddenly do not work in 8. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be happening?

It all seems pretty basic to me and it worked fine in MX7?

CFGRID date sort is not working in Coldfusion 9

    </cfgrid>
</cfform>
when i sort the grid column StartDate , it is doing to text sort instead of date sort, did anybody else face the same issue?

I'm still getting the same effect. I added a mask and the data still
sorts as if it is a string. Both date columns are Oracle date types.
<cfgridcolumn name="TASKNAME" header="Type" width="200">
<cfgridcolumn name="ORIG_StartDate" mask="Y/m/d" type="date" header="Start Date" width="200">
<cfgridcolumn name="ORIG_ENDDATE" mask="Y/m/d" type="date" header="End Date" width="200">

Filepath variable not working

Hi I have a page builder form and when the user is finished building her page, she can click "Write File" and the file will actually be saved to a particular folder as an html file. All this worked fine until I wanted to try and save these new files to a network shared folder so that our employer could copy the files over to his pc and review them before uploading to the remote server.
Here is the new file path variable and the path I assigned to it.

<cfset fileExtension = ".html">
<cfset pathToFile = "C:\webdes-pc\newPageFiles">
<cfset fileToWrite = pathToFile & SESSION.fileName & fileExtension>
Here is the original code that worked perfectly.

<cfset fileExtension = ".html">
<cfset pathToFile = "C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\replacememntlightbulbs\pageBuilder\">
<cfset fileToWrite = pathToFile & SESSION.fileName & fileExtension>
Is there a reason why I could not write a file to a networked folder? I would have thought there wouldnt have ben a problem with that idea. Thanks for any help in advance!

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
ilssac wrote:
<cfset pathToFile = "C:\webdes-pc\newPageFiles\">
That worked? That looks like a mapped folder and those usually do not work because ColdFusion runs as a different user then the whomever might have mapped the folder?
What usually works is a UNC path more like "\\webdes-pc\newPageFiles\" after ColdFusion has been configured to run as a domain user that has the permissions to that network path rather than the default "localSystem" user which usually has NO network permissions.
Actually you might be right. I think I have a folder named webdes-pc in my C drive as well. I had the file path set as \\webdes-pc\newPageFiles\ as you suggested before, but might have not had the last backslash on there either. So I think when I get to work tomorrow I will try this path again. Thanks!

JQuery.js not working in UNIX environment

Hi All,
My development environment is Linux with Apache and we are using Coldfusion 9.
We have developed some part of our code using jQuery.
This is perfectly working in our DEV environment.
We shipped the same code to the Production Environment. Which is Coldfusion 5 and Unix Environment with Apache Server.
The problem is the parameter passing to jQuery is always null.
Is jQuery will not work in Coldfusion 5?
Your help is needed.
Thanks in advance!

1. CF versions 9 and 5 and radically different. I wouldn't expect code written for CF9 to run on CF5.
2. CF runs on the server, jQuery runs in the brower, the version of CF on your server shouldn't be relavent. You should look for the problem in the HTML, Javascript, CSS, etc. in the browser.
3. We cannot help diagnose your problem without seeing the code that is causing the problem and any error messages you receive.
4. If this is a issue with jQuery on the browser you might consider posting a question to a jQuery specific forum.

Flex 3 App not working in with ColdFusion 9

We have a Flex 3 application that uses flash remoting to connect to ColdFusion. This app was working great with ColdFusion 8, but will not work after installing ColdFusion 9.
I am looking for any suggestions on what I might look for to fix this issue.

Hey Tikis,
There are a few factors that could be throwing this thing
through a loop. I've had this exact same thing happen to me once
before and the culprit for me was that my crossdomain.xml file
wasn't 100% perfectly formed. Apparently Firefox didn't care enough
and went on with it's life however IE decided it wasn't going to
read it and I received that error, so that would be the first thing
I would check.
The next thing is what version of PHP are you running on the
server, it seems to me that the newest release of 5.2.2 is throwing
this error more often then ever before, something I might suggest
is upgrading to AMFPHP 1.9. RemoteObjects natively send data in
what's called the AMF3 format which is much speedier then it's
predecessor of AMF0. Only AMFPHP 1.9 has the ability to receive /
send the data back in AMF3 format, where as with the 1.2 version
it's sending the call, converts it down to AMF0 sends the data (at
a slower pace) and generates a result. The other advantage to being
able to use AMF3 is having true type casted results such as if PHP
returns a number you can check it by if(event.result == 0) where as
AMF0 everything is converted into a string and then sent back to
Flash / Flex. So aside from all of these advantages the last one is
less code, you no longer need to use the RemotingConnection to
convert everything down to AMF0. I would make a copy of amfphp on
your linux of the 1.9 version and send the remote object at that
first and see what happens, if you are still receiving the same
error then the problem lies in something else.
Hope this helps.

Coldfusion 8 debug ip restrictions not working

Have been trying to limit ip's to local host, 127.0.0.1, but no luck. Debug info is visible to all. Inherited application that uses coldfusion so not very familiar with it but the debugging options seem very straightforward in the administrator but still the limiting of debug info to specific ip's is not working. Windows 2003 R2 environment. Any insight would be useful. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but each Service directive should be on its own line. It is an error to have both a <Client> tag and Service directive on a single line.

New Coldfusion Server Setup in Flashbuilder and Coldfusion Builder not working

I have not found the combination for adding a new Coldfusion Server in Flash Builder 4.7 or Coldfusion Builder 2.01 with Coldfusion 10. I am running windows 7 64bit. on IIS 7. Coldfusion 10 is running fine.
All was well with Coldfusion 9 Flash Builder 4.6 and Coldfusion Builder 2.0.
Local Server Settings for CF9 were
Server Home C:\Coldfusion9
Document Root C:\inetpub\wwwroot
Version: 9.0.x
Now as soon as I put in C:\Coldfusion10 or C:\Coldfusion10\cfusion I get an error "Server home is not valid".
Any hints on getting this going.

Hi Jeff,
Can you let us know the directory location for wwwroot on your system.

That does not work. As soon as I put C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion in the Server Home I get the error Server Home Invalid. I have uninstalled Coldfusion 10 and re-installed added the latest updates. Coldfusion 10 is working fine running on IIS 7.
Not necessarily. As soon as you select the "cfusion" location, it would automatically pick the wwwroot location.

Paypal IPN + Coldfusion 7 not working?

I am trying to set up coldfusion to handle payPal IPN but I cant find any tutorials that explain how to get it to work, anything I find is out of date or I just cant get it to work.
I've tried using the code on paypal developer site here:
https://cms.paypal.com/cms_content/CA/en_US/files/developer/IPN_COLDFUSION.txt
and I have enabled IPN on my paypal account but I'm not sure I've set it up correctly. Is there a way to check if paypal is even sending data back to my site?
Been having a look and it seems the ipn I set up isnt even running. when I test the payment (i set up a basic ipn.cfm file that writes to a text file) it still doesnt work. Could there be a reason why paypal isnt running the ipn? If I go to the ipn.cfm file in a browser then the test txt file is created.
Cheers!

Packaged ColdFusion 9 Datasources not importing to ColdFusion 10 64-bit on another computer

I installed ColdFusion 10 64-bit on my I new 64-bit work computer. To save time and effort; l decide to use Packaging & Deployment option on ColdFusion 9 32-bit on my old computer to archive all my data sources and deploy on the new server. I selected all the Datasources I wanted to archive (26 of them) without selecting any other settings. The archive file was successfully created and I built the backup file 'C:/Projects/ColdFusion/ColdFusionBak24May2013.car' to copy to my machine. Created achieve file is visible in ColdFusion Archives on my old computer, I can modify it and I deploy it on my old computer but nothing happens when I copy ColdFusionBak24May2013.car file to my new computer and try to deploy it there using ColdFusion 10 64-bit.
Everything seems to work fine with selecting the file but when I click Deploy Achieve; the process goes through the motion but none of the data sources are added to ColdFusion 10 on the new computer.
Am I doing something wrong or doesn't ColdFusion 9 (32-bit) Achieve file work on ColdFusion 10 (64-bit)?
PS: XML file called neo-datasource.xml is located in ColdFusion10\cfusion\lib directory listing all datasources. Would it work if I merge neo-datasource.xml file on my new computer with the one on my old computer instead or not?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Have you considered using JDBC rather than ODBC? I suspect that both Adobe and Microsoft view ODBC as a legacy technology.
