Getting a copy of Cold Fusion 6

Hi All,
I've got a client who needs support for his CF 6 app. He
doesn't want to upgrade to CF 8 right now, but that makes
troubleshooting and development work a bit difficult, because I
don't have a CF 6 license anywhere. I know you can download free
"developer edition" copies of CF 8, and I was wondering if there's
any way to get the CF 6 developer edition (if they were doing
developer editions when 6 came out).
Any ideas?
-Josh

Yes, they have had developer editions since at least 4.5,
when I started
ColdFusion and I'm pretty sure from long before that.
All installations of ColdFusion will install as either trial
or
developer if you do not provide a license number. And the
trial
editions will revert to developer at the end of the trial
period.
So, your only problem is to find a ColdFusion 6 installer.
Unfortunately, I do not believe you can get this from Adobe
anymore.
But if you can find one you are good to go.

What's happening with cold fusion?!

first, this very page is throwing js errors in both ie8 and firefox 24.0 , i can't reply to any posts
then, with all this flurry of security breaches on gov websites running cold fusion, do we have a comprehensive white paper showing how to plug all the security holes that were uncovered?

Thanks Carl,

Site seems to be working fine for me. As to plugging security holes,
there are two things you need to do:
1. Keep your servers updated with the latest patch(es). If you are
on CF10, use the built-in automatic updater. If on CF8 or CF9, take a
look at David Epler's Unofficial Updater project.
2. Follow the appropriate ColdFusion lockdown guide for the version
you are running.
For CF9:

How not to use Cold Fusion and Java

Overview
This write up is intended to give java developers that are
developing ColdFusion applications some beneficial information:
things that are not documented.
Scenario
The company builds enterprise class web application software
for fortune 500 companies. It had purchased a CF 7 based product,
had and existing proprietary J2EE based product, and needed to
integrate the two while meeting a host of new requirements. These
requirements were based on delivering a better user experience,
faster / cheaper integration, increased flexibility /
configuration, useablily, decreasing maintenance costs, the ability
to deploy in either install or ASP models. An initiative was
started to create a new framework that integrated the best of each
technologies. Tactically, this meant that we were to build a hybrid
CF and java application: one that used building blocks (decoupled /
cohesive components) that would allow applications to be rapidly
assembled, configured and deployed. This made sense on several
levels, the team was composed of Java and CF developers, the CF
rapid application development was very productive, there is great
functionality delivered in the CF platform and initial performance
tests showed no cause for alarm
The agreed upon design, based on requirements, and analysis
by both the CF and Java staff has us using CF in the presentation
layer, using a CF based MVC, use of CF based web services. The MVC
was deployed using CFC inheritance for model objects and views made
use of CF custom tags. The internals of the application, used a
rules engine, some proprietary java, ORM, and other J2EE
technology. The initial performance of the system was reasonable.
We pushed on with product implementation.
Then it was time to load test the application, and tune it.
Under load the response times were orders of magnitude slower,
sometimes the pages even timed out.
Armed with our profiler, oracle execution plans and we
charged ahead addressing issue after issue. Note that we took
meticulous care in tweaking the active thread pool and ensuring
that our CF setup was tuned for our application. None of the
observations here are a condemnation of the language; rather they
are aspects that, when considered together, not conducive for
building integrated java and CF frameworks that use a structured /
OO programming practices. Further detail can be provided on
request.
CFC inheritance should be avoided - resolution of variable
scope is expensive even if properly declared.
Since CF creates a class per method under the covers call
stacks become very large, especially if used in a loop. This is
nominally exacerbated by CF calls necessary to set up for the
method call (String.toUpper()).
Nesting of loops and if statements should be kept to a
minimum - the conditional for each lookup of logical operator like
LT, GT are synchronized. Under load this results in thread waits.
Jrun has as single thread pool - both http and web service
requests use the same pool. Under load this leads to thread
deadlock. There are work arounds, but they are painful.
Recursion should be avoided - we had a few recursive routines
and these had to be rewritten.
Custom Tags - should be used sparingly - each custom tag
makes a synchronized call to the license server - (This may be
fixed in CF 8)
Summary
In the end we got the performance to reasonable numbers, but
we ended up moving some code to java (Custom Tags) and getting rid
of 'good programming' practices (Inheritance, loops, etc), mandated
proper variable scoping for those things left over. We prototyped a
sans cold fusion implementation and had an order of magnitude
improvement in performance and number of requests served per
second.
The lesson? Use Coldfusion in its sweet spot: make a query,
iterate over the results and format for display. Extensive use of
structure programming techniques or OO CFCs should be avoided: they
will work but under load - but are better as a prototype. Building
frameworks in CF? Think twice, no three times, and, if you must, be
minimalist.

interesting aslbert123,
Not that I doubt you, but could you answer some questions
about your implementation that was so slow:
1.) Did you put your CFCs in the application or server scope?
2.) Were you initializing your CFCs, via CreateObject or
<cfinvoke>, on every request?
3.) Are you sure that you were properly Var'ing every
variable in your methods? (people typically forget about query
names and loop iterator variables)
4.) Could you give examples of how your inheritence was set
up?
5.) For CustomTags, did you call them the old <cf_tag>
way or the newer, better-performing <cfimport> way?
6.) How did you connect CF to Java exactly?
Thanks,
Aaron

Modifying cold fusion script not picked up by iis

We are running coldfusion 7, using iis6 on windows 2003 server. I am not a cold fusion developer and this is the only coldfusion script we have created by a previous developer. I needed to make some simple modifications to the script, including a change in the title. After having restarted IIS the modified script is still not showing the new title. What do I need to do for iis to show the changes in the cfm file?

It's in the CF Administrator, which is separate from the JRun Admin Console. You can often get to the CF Administrator with a URL like this:

Cold Fusion Mac Compat?

Can you run the latest Cold Fusion version in association
with CS3 Web Premium for Mac on a Mac without a Windows
shell?

Scooter,
I use a Macbook Pro (OS X 10.4.9) and run CFMX 7.0.2 (on top
of JRun 4 and NOT as a standalone web server) with no issues. I
also have CS 2.3 Premium on my machine. I will be getting CS3 in
about a week or two when it releases but there should be no issues
whatsoever with this configuration.

Xp pro config question with cold fusion(newbie)

Hello,
I'm a beginner and I want to learn studio mx 2004.In trying
to learn Macromedia MX for windows ,I've gone thru the installation
process in the manual for installing Cold Fusion for the server
side of things.My question is, I'm not sure if IIS is mnadatory in
order to use cold fusion.Is it a case of using one or the other or
is the IIS service required to run Cold Fusion? Also im using cold
fusion5 is cold fusion mx = to cold fusion 6.1?

Thanks for answering. Is there any benefits to running both
servers? I
don't want to confuse myself with too many
options.Essentially,I could
learn Dreamweaver (my ultimate goal) by using either
installation.
No, while it is possible to run multiple versions of CF, it
takes extra
configurations to do so. I would say this is unnecessary for
just
learning. I would strongly suggest upgrading. CF 5 is the
oldest and
most limited version of CF still officially supported by
Adobe. The
latest version is 7.0.2. There is a huge, major, complete
rewrite of CF
and many other bug fixes and enhancements between CF 5.x and
the current
version.
The current version and all versions of CF are free for
download from
Adobe for a personal development copy. If you do so now,
before you
start writing code, the upgrade install IIRC is quite
painless and will
use the configurations you have already chosen.

Flex/cold fusion wizard & Visual Query builder has a problem

has anybody tried the cold fusion / flex application wizard in flex 3?
to get there follow these menu choices:
file new other cold fusion wizards coldfusion / flex application wizard
I previously installed cf8 and the rds query viewer works fine.
i simply choose from the following menus:
window other views... Cold Fusion RDS dataview
i was initially prompted for the rds password which i entered.
in the RDS Dataview, I can see the tables, columns, and data for all my existing datasources.
Unfortunately, when I use the COld Fusion/Flex application wizard,
I get to the page layout and design screen, add a page with the name artists, choose page type master, and click the Edit master page button.
Nothing happens when I click the Edit Master Page button. I followed the cf/flex tutorial exactly but there is no query builder.
I dont know if this is related but in the RDS query viewer, the Visual Query BUilder doesn't work.
I think this may be the problem (the visual query builder has a problem)
Unfortunately, how do I fix this problem

already found the answer
flex has to be run as administrator if using WIndows Vista
simply shut down flex, right click the startup icon, choose run as administrator, and the visual query builder runs fine.
Dont know why this occurs because you are always prompted for the rds password.
anyway, problem solved.

Cold Fusion Issue

Hi There my name is Javier and I am a baby on this java issues.
I am having this problem trying to get the pay flow program from VeriSign to work with the cold fusion administrator I did all the steps but when I test it came out with an error saying that I need to install the JVM or JRE because it didn't find it so you need to tell the path of the jvm.dll on the Cold Fusion Administrator in order for this test to run succesfully.
I did a search for jvm.dll nothin but I notice there is some java files there so I did a test went to this site download jre 4.1.1.8 and install it on my home computer the installation went fine and then I notice the installation creates a directory called JRE4.1.1.8 and I did a search for the jvm.dll but also ntohing like that shows up instead I found two dll files, javai.dll and another java dll file but the question is: IF i DESIRE TO INSTALL THE NEW VERSION OF JVM ON THE SERVER WHAT DLL FILE SHOULD I CHOOSE TO BE DEFINE ON THE COLD FUSION ADMINISTRATOR, was there any changes from the last version of JVM to the news version I am assuming there is but I don't know what to look for.
Any help on this matter would be highly appreciated.

Did you figure out the solution to your problem? I am running into the same issue.

Current System Time in Cold Fusion

Hi,
I am getting the current system Date as below:
<cfset todaydate = CreateODBCDate(now())/>
How to get current system time in coldfusion in a similar way
and what is the syntax for it.
<cfset currenttime = XXXXXXXXXXX/> which should be of
24 hrs time format
Could anyone please help me on this
Thanks,
Cold Fusion Beginner

<cfset currenttime = XXXXXXXXXXX/> which should be of
24 hrs time format
<cfset currenttime = now()>
That will be a date-time object of the current time. If you
would like
that formated in a standard 24 hour format:
<cfset currenttime = timeFormat(now(), "HH:mm:ss")>
The 'HH' time format mask is for hours in the 24 hour clock;
'hh' will
give you hours in a 12 hour format.

JDBC/Cold Fusion to 8.1.6 DB

I'm using the 8.1.7 JDBC client on a Win2K Cold Fusion Server. The client connects to the database, but frequently hangs in the midst of a simple query. When I look at the task manager in Windows, the jrun process has maxed out at 99% with very little RAM being used. I'm trying to figure if this is a JDBC problem or a java runtime bug.
anyone have suggestions?

Update: I am running the rmjvm.run( true ) procedure to remove the jvm install. This is hanging as well. It creates the 'MONSTER' rollback segment, via the initjvmaux.rollbacksetup call, but then hangs (it appears) after that...I'll let it run a bit longer but this getting very frustrating is to say the least (of course, I have said more @()$*&@$(*#&!!!).
If I do a fresh install on the same machine, same parameters, and everything works then Oracle needs to work on their conversion utilities...and I thought their problems were just limited to their GUI tools...oh well. Oh yeah, perhaps a class action lawsuit against big O for loss of productivity because their conversion utility didn't work as documented. Don't get me wrong, best DB on the market, unfortunely, that's where their success ends in my opinion.

Cold fusion 9 Installation on Windows server 2008 (IIS 7.0) - IIS websites not working ?

I am having a 64 bit machine on which windows server 2008 R2 is installed. IIS 7.0 is configured and running on it. on which I have my organisations main website. I have to install Cold fusion on this machine as some of my site pages are designed with CF.
I used all the default settings for installing cold fusion 9. It got completed succefully. But after I restarted my system and tried accesing my ASP.net website it was not loading the page. Text getting displayed was only as follows '<script> src="'. Later I unsistalled CF and my site was working fine.
Please can any one guide me to successfully install Cold fusion without disturbing my main site deployed on IIS ?

Sarfarajms, I don't recognize what about the CF install would conflict with ASP.NET, but I'll note this:
If you downloaded CF 9 recently, you are still running 9.0--which does NOT formally support IIS 7. If you followed the steps about enabling IIS 6 compatibility and such (in the install guide or some blog entry), perhaps that caused the conflict.
Instead, you will want to install 9.0.1 (CF 9 Updater 1, which is NOT provided in the current 9.0 install). THAT is the first release to formally support IIS 7. And if you read the updater installation guide (http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/901/cf901install.pdf), it discusses how to deal with the upgrade depending on what you had done with respect to IIS, starting at the bottom of its page 8.
Hope that helps.

I believe your MX Studio came with a developer edition of
CFMX 6.0. There are now several newer editions. Each is greatly
improved over the original CFMX (over 5 years old now). I would
recommend you uninstall CFMX6 and install the latest CFMX 7.02 at:
http://www.adobe.com/go/trycoldfusion
or at least install CFMX 6.1 updater 1. Both are available at the
same URL. The bottom dropdown is for CFMX 6.1. Each of the CFMX
installers allows you to choose between a trial version (enterprise
for 30 days, then developer) or a licensed version if you have a
license. The original CFMX 6.0 is not a good option at this point
in time.

Cold Fusion Developer on Intel Mac

I just ordered an Intel Mac....will I be able to install cold
fusion on it for development?
I saw the system requirements posted on the site were for
Power PC processors. So I was just curious if anyone has
successfully used cf with Intel yet; without problems.
Thanks,

Many of us have this running on Intel just fine.
Heres probably the two best links out there to get it

Cold fusion 9 500 - Internal server error.

all of a sudden none of our cfm web pages work on a windows 8 server running iis 7 .... the server shows no errors in the event viewer .... occasionally functionality comes back w/o doing anything ...... cold fusion did have all the hotfixes updated a few months ago but i cant get to the admin page to give what the version is
thxs

Well if you got over your misplaced indignation for a moment, let's see:
ColdFusion is what people will google for, so in the spirit of helping others who might have the same question as you later on, spelling it right will help the community.
Jason's observation that you give us absolutely nothing to go on so it's basically impossible to help you is a fairly poignant observation, right? You do want help? Right, so here's some suggestions:
Articulate your issue clearly, with sufficient detail that we can help you. Read this:
http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smartquestions.html
Secondly... being rude to someone like Jason who really is one of the most helpful people on
these forums is a pretty stupid idea. And just serves to make you look a bit of a [profanity edited out]. Esp. with the caps lock on.
But anyway, let's call that a false start. Give us the details of your issue, and we'll try to help.
Cheers.
