Errors in Application.cfm

Yes, I'm one of the few who still uses Application.cfm... perhaps this will be the final straw.
How do I prevent cf debugging errors from showing up if there is an error in my Application.cfm???
Every once in a while users of my site get a bizzare struct error or session error in my Application.cfm but I have no way of knowing unless they contact me. Is there a way to prevent this? Can I wrap my Application.cfm in a cftry?

You could, but that would only take affect of the line of code that throws the error is in the Application.cfm file. It would have no affect for code in the template that was called.
You could look at the <cferror....> tag. Or the Site Wide Exception Handler that can be configured in the Administrator or any of the other exception handling options provided by ColdFusion and discussed in the documentaiton.

Verity search results return application.cfm

We've got a couple of sites using verity collections to
search cfml, html, and some mime documents. This is generally
successful. However, we do see coldfusion script-only pages
returning in the search results, including application.cfm, and
other cfm pages that do not display content to the end-user. Since
there is no HTML renderable content in these pages, why do they get
included in the results?
How can I control this behavior? I've looked at the verity
documentation, and am trying to use the mkvdk utility to delete
application.cfm from the collection documents, but am getting an
error. If I can get the syntax down correctly, is this the proper
way of addressing the problem?
For instance, I am using the command string:
mkvdk -delete -collection
C:\CFusionMX\verity\collections\intranet\file application.cfm
on my local development machine to try and test this, but get
an error BadKeys: application.cfm
I don't understand why these types of files get included in
the collection in the first place. Oh, we are running CFMX6.1.
Thanks for any help.

The issue is not how to remove all CFM files from the
collection. We just want CFM files that do not output anything to
the user to be excluded from the search index. Most of the files in
this site are CFM files. Most importantly would be application.cfm,
form action pages, and other included files.
Certainly we could parse the results for a filename in a
predefined list, but we are trying to avoid defining this
programmatically; thinking that it is odd that these files get
included in the results at all. In the past we have segmented sites
using .cfm and .cfml as a way of excluding specific files from the
index (in the collection definition, we would not include the
specific extension as required). But this site has been in
production for some time, and is just now adding a search feature.
We don't want to rename files, and have to recheck every single
page and link in the entire site.
Does that explain what we're trying to do better?
Cheers,
Kris

My first thought, because I have made this mistake several
times is that the "A" in Application.cfm needs to be capital on
*nix systems. I am not sure if that includes Macs.

ODBC Error, think it's bc of Application.cfm

Ok I'm working on a small e-commerce project and it's been
about a year and a half since I've done programming with CF, so I'm
doing a lot of re-learning, basically everything and only remember
a very small bit, so basically I'm noob again.
OK I built my project, I'm using MySQL as my database
container. Everything runs perfectly fine on my local machine
server but when I go to upload it to my hosting provider. I get the
following error when I try to access the database on the hosting
provider.
Error Diagnostic Information
ODBC Error Code = S1000 (General error)
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'my IP
address' (using password: NO)
The error occurred while processing an element with a general
identifier of (CFQUERY), occupying document position (1:1) to
(1:54).
OK, my guess right now is that it has something to do with
the user and password authentication, and if that's the case, but
to be honest I have no idea whats going on, cause this problem
doesnt occur when I use PostgreSQL. I hope someone on here has been
through this and knows what's up.
Here's the code in my Application.cfm file
<cfapplication name="joecool-ecom" sessionmanagement="yes"
/>
<cfset Request.DSN = "joecool-ecom" />
<cfset REQUEST.BasePath =
GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())>
I'm completely lost and have been trying to figure this out
for a solid 7+ hours. I'm hoping that it's just something really
really lame and stupid that I'm doing wrong on my side and that it
can be fixed very easily, but part of me questions if my hosting
provider just plain sucks and that I may end up having to switch
providers or something.

well i found a solution and yes it was a b***...
It turns out it had something to do with ODBC on my hosting
provider and MySQL. I ran a test on PostgreSQL and it worked fine,
so I just redid my entire database into PostgreSQL and then changed
all my boolean crap in my code from 1 to TRUE and 0 to FALSE. It
sucked, but at least it works now.
If anyone has any experience with using ODBC with ColdFusion
for MySQL, if you have any ideas of why this error would occur,
please let me know. It has to do with it trying to login
anonymously and not using a PW, but I have no idea how to fix that
on a hosting provider. Talked to them and its just a bunch of
foreigners that don't know anything about computers so....
whatever.
Also if anyone knows any good hosting providers that keep
their ColdFusion current, please let me know. I'm getting away from
mine once my subscription runs out in a few more months. They're
still using ColdFusion 5, which sucks

Problem with application.cfm

I'm just getting back into coldfusion after a few years...and
i'm already running into a problem with the application.cfm
What could cause this simple error when I try to go to a
coldfusion page (the cfm page would load prior to adding the
application.cfm). Also, can the application name be pretty much
anything? Thanks!
"unknown context error reached at the end of the CFML
templateInvalid expression format. The usual cause is an error in
the expression structure. The last successfully parsed CFML
construct was the CFML template beginning occupying document
position (1:1) to (1:1)."

What are your Operating System, Coldfusion version and web
server? What happens when you experiment with an application file
as simple as this one?

Which to use application.cfm or application.cfc?

Hi,
Just a general question, i have been using application.cfm
for my applications so far. I came across a tag that would be used
under application.cfc, but i tried putting both templates together
in one application and boom, an error showed up.
So, which is better to use with most of the applications
application.cfm or .cfc?
Thanks for any help!
Syed

It's actually a bit easier to use session and application
scope variables with Application.cfc, I think.
Application.cfc has methods for specific "events" or states:
onApplicationStart() -- where to load application variables,
security logic, etc.
onSessionStart() -- initialize session varialbes, etc.
onRequestStart() -- runs at the start of each page request
onRequestEnd()
onSessionEnd()
onApplicationEnd()
onError() -- very nice place to get some good
Application-wide error handling code in place
onRequest() -- be sure to read the notes on this
method...it's a bit different.
Check out the MX7 reference page for Application.cfc:

Turning off application.cfm

Hello,
not sure about this but is there a tag or method whereby I
can overwrite the CF servers automatic inclusion of an
application.cfm (.cfc). I have one page in a sub-subfolder of a
website where the application.cfm is in the top (parent) folder. I
am having problems including this page in a programme and am
looking at any possible causes for this.
One thought was that some methods in my application.cfm may
be causing the error. Without removing or altering the
application.cfm in anyway... is it possible to just deactivate it
on certain pages?
Thanks

(.cfc).
No. There is not.

To bypass this grandparent Application.cfm, you simply have
to a "nearer"
Application.cfm which is empty. But...
> I am having problems including this page
... Only the initial template referenced in a request
triggers the process
that seeks an Application.cfm. If you're simply including the
file,
Application.cfm plays no part in it (beyond what I already
said).
> One thought was that some methods in my application.cfm
There's no such thing as "methods" in an Application.cfm. Do
you mean
UDFs? Without you actually posting your error, it's a bit
hard to guess
WTF you're on about, to be honest.
> is it
> possible to just deactivate it on certain pages?
No.

Application.cfm in root and subdirectory, help.

I cannot figure this out. I understand that an application
will use the application.cfm file in it's current directory first
and not search further. However, my page in a subdirectory seems to
not see the application.cfm in it's own directory and instead uses
the root application.cfm. Can anyone explain? And I have tried
capitalizing the "A", etc. but I am not using Linux so I do not
think it matters anyway. (CF MX)

Hard to tell exactly, but in the subdirectory, is the ONLY
line the <cfset application.dsn_test = "DiningHall">?
If so, the subdirectory application.cfm would execute and the
parent would not, which would cause the undefined error since from
what I can tell, you haven't used the <cfapplication> tag in
the subdirectory.
What you can do is use a cfinclude in the subdirectory
application.cfm.
<cfinclude template="../application.cfm">
<cfset application.dsn_test = "DiningHall">
However.... That's a big no no if you're using this to
actually change application scope parameters, since someone
visiting the subdirectory would reset the DSN for someone that
might still be navigating around in the parent directory.
So what good is using the cfinclude method? Well, you can
lock subdirectories to roles this way.
<cfinclude template="../application.cfm">
<cfif getAuthUser() eq "" or not IsUserInRole("Admin")>
Access Denied!
<cfabort>
<cfif>
Consider changing the DSN setting to use the request.scope to
isolate the change to the user.
<cfset Request.appDSN = "DININGHALL">

i just tried to install the 11.4 update (or whichever one is the most recent update as of 1/26/2014) and when it failed i tried to install manually and now whenever i try to use it, i get the following error: "The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Right after i click ok i then get this error: "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I tried to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall the 11.03 version but that didnt work either. I want to know if i copy all of the music in my itunes folder to an external without consolidating can i still transfer all my itunes music from my current windows xp pc to a brand new one and have my current itunes library in my new pc? Basically i just want to know 3 things: What exactly does consolidating the itunes library do? Can i copy, paste, and transfer my itunes library to an external and from there to a new pc? Will i be able to transfer my itunes library without consolidating the files?

I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed. It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4). Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html The previous version works beautifully.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you accessed SharePoint site through form based authentication.
How did you configure the form based authentication?
Here is a link about the steps required to configure FBA in SharePoint 2010 for your reference, and check the steps to see if there anything wrong in your configuration:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/352841/How-to-Configure-Form-Based-Authentication-FBA-in
Through the common error message, we cannot find what exactly caused the error.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look:

WINWORD.EXE -Application Error The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click ok to close the application

HI
when i am trying to open MSWord following message pop up and i can't open MSword any more:
WINWORD.EXE -Application Error The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click ok to close the application.
Please advise

Hi,
Does Word start in Safe Mode?
Press Win key + R, type "winword.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
If Word can start in Safe Mode, the issue should be related to 3rd-party add-ins, disable the suspicious add-ins to determine which one caused the problem.
You can also try repairing Office from Control Panel -> Programs and Features, check if this helps.

Hi nikp11,
According to your description, you recently updated SQL Server 2008 R2 to SP3, Report Builder doesn’t work since then the error occurs: "Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue".
This is an known issue in SSRS 2008 R2 SP3 that Microsoft has published an article addressing this issue. It is not planning to release a fix for this issue. But we could implement one of the following workarounds:
Install and run Report Builder 3.0 of SQL Server 2008 R2 RTM.
Install and run Report Builder of SQL Server 2014.
Uninstall Service Pack 3 then uninstall Service Pack 2 and then reinstall Service Pack 3.
Reference:
Report Builder of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 3 does not launch
Thank you for your understanding.
