Problems indexing .cfm page

I have a page at www.salleboise.com/contact.cfm that I am
trying to index on
a internal search program. The program won't read that
particular file, but
will index other .cfm files just fine. I don't see anything
that would
prevent the file from being read, but what I'm being told by
the support for
the search software is that this particular page is only
responding to IE
requests, not generic requests.
What can I change? All the other page have the following
<!DOCTYPE HTML
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
before the page starts, just like
the contact.cfm page....
What can I do?????

I use a program called Zoom to create a internal search of my
site.
Zoom has its own index tool, and will index most of my .cfm
pages, but won't
do the one in question because (based on what their support
says) it only
reponds to IE or FF browser, not a generic GET command.
Hopefully that makes more sense??

Coldfusion will only display index.cfm no matter what .cfm page is opened

I am currently learning ColdFusion using the tutorials on lynda.com. In doing the exercises I am running into a particularly unusual problem. No matter what .cfm document I have opened and I am attempting to work on the only page that will preview in Dreamweaver's Live View and in any browser is the index.cfm page of the exercises that I am working on. I have worked on these exercises on another computer, a laptop, with no problems. Both of the computer were running Windows 7 and all of the Site Setup information seems to be the same on both computers. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I cannot proceed effectively with the tutorials if this problem persists. I have all of the required components installed on my computer so I really don't know what the problem could be. Any help would be appreciated. Let me add that this is not happening with every CF document but with a particular Site Setup and exercises that I am working on through the tutorials that come with the Coldfusion tutorial provided by Lynda.com.
NOTE: I am learning ColdFusion MX at the moment, but I have ColdFusion 9.1 installed on the computer that I am having the problem on.

Adam,
Thanks for getting back to me. I have attached a .pdf and two (2) text documents which should serve to explain the problem in greater detail. I am sending this from my email which is how I am able to attach the documents. The pdf really shows my screen and what is actually happening. If you cannot open the files let me try to explain:
I have two (2) separate CF sites set up on my computer. I have the same sites set up on my laptop. I have downloaded lessons from Lynda.com so that I can learn CF. In one of the CF sites, which has graphics included, no matter what page I am working on when I go to view that page in "Live View" or any browser the only page that displays is the index.cfm page. I do not get an error message, what displays is only the index.cfm page. In other words, the only page that will display in this particular site in the index.cfm page. I do not have this problem on the laptop. I hope that clarifies the situation. If not please let me know. I am attempting to fix the problem but I do not know what to do as I have tried several things, including deleting the site setup and setting it up again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

.cfm pages won't display on CF10 on Windows server 2008

I have a new VPS setup that has CF10 running on a Windows 2008 box. My site is setup in IIS and I can navigate to any root folder in browser. That's because the root folder(s) recognizes index.cfm as a default page. However, any time I click a link or manually enter a URL string that contains ".cfm" (even on index.cfm pages that display without the actual full path written out) it throws a 404 error. Has anyone else run into this? I know the site is running correctly because like I said, if you enter the following URL: http://www.kyndoutdoors.com/ it will display correctly. However, if you enter http://www.kyndoutdoors.com/index.cfm it will error. HELP!

The wildcard handler handles urls without filenames (http://www.kyndoutdoors.com/), and that appears to be working. However, the specific IIS handler mappings for "*.cfm" does not appear to be. You might try using the ColdFusion Web Server Configuration Tool (WSConfig) to remove the IIS connectors (then restart IIS), and then re-add the connectors.
Another thought: were your IIS sites added to IIS after ColdFusion was installed and configured for IIS? If so, the connectors appear to not be propogating forward for new sites. I've seen this behavior before with ColdFusion 9 and IIS 7.5, but CF10 seems to handle this better. Again, removing and re-adding the connectors seems to resolve these situations for me.
EDIT:
Hmmm. 404 errror actually makes me think this may be a file permissions issue. What account is the ColdFusion service running as? Make sure that account has permissions to the folder containing your website(s).

Adding Facebook, Twitter links to index.cfm

Hey all,
Brand new to CFM and need to add the Facebook sharer and twitter links to .cfm page and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

As a starting point, I am starting here.
<code>
<script>
    function fbs_click()
            u = location.href; t = document.title;
            window.open('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=' + encodeURIComponent(u) +
            '&t=' + encodeURIComponent(t), 'sharer', 'toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436');
            return false;
</script>
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=<url>" onclick="return fbs_click()" target="_blank">Share on Facebook</a>
</code>
So I have that working where it is grabbing the location.href and document title fine of the page, but it the implementation doesn't seem to be the same on a .cfm page.
I am only now starting to become familiar with <cfoutput> and coldfusion syntax in general. I have never seen it before today.
I have done dynamic development, but not with CF, only with Java and C#.
The stories are news stories that are rotated in and out and changed on a weekly basis within the index.cfm page.

Defaulting to index.cfm

I'm responsible for several CF sites on the same server and
each new project provides new challenges - this one is really
irritating me though. I'm using a CF breadcrumb script to map out
where users are in the site; it searches the directory and lists
the folders as links. Each page is therefore an index.cfm in a
seperate folder (eg home/index.cfm).
I haven't built this site in any different way to any others
(so i thought) and were it not for the breadcrumbs the issue
wouldn't be such a problem, i'd just include "index.cfm" in any
menu links.
Clicking on a breadcrumb link just brings a "Forbidden"
error. If there's an index.html page in the folder it defaults to
that no problem.
Any ideas?

are you on IIS or Apache?
where do the links in the breadcrumb menu point to: just a
folder or
actual index.cfm file in the folder?
it sounds like directory browsing is allowed on your
sub-folders, but
not for the user CF is running under... though i might be
wrong...

Console accepts credentials, returns index.cfm

I have installed and set up Coldfusion 10 successfully. However I am unable to get into the console, loging in as admin. I can get in by setting ><var name='admin.security.enabled'><boolean value='false'/>
I have tried changing the password, and resetting it, but it still does this:
1. Hit admin console, and log in
a. logs show :
coldfusion-out
Oct 29, 2013 13:25:27 PM Error [ajp-bio-8012-exec-1] - An error occurred while updating authcache.
Oct 29, 2013 13:25:27 PM Information [ajp-bio-8012-exec-1] - An error occurred while fetching element from authcache.
Oct 29, 2013 13:25:27 PM Information [ajp-bio-8012-exec-1] - User admin logged in.
audit
"Information","ajp-bio-8012-exec-1","10/29/13","13:25:27","CFADMIN","User admin logged in."
2. While monitoring page I get a POST and a GET of index.cfm
So in summary, I am able to log in with the correct credentials, and Coldfusion recognizes this, but instead of redirectinginto the console, the index.cdm "refreshes".
I am front ending it with apache.
Has anyone else run into this problem?

Cookies are not disabled, and this is the admin console and not an app.
Seems to be authentication only, from within the console. After disabling admin.security.enabled, I ran an update from 9 to 10. In the middle of the update it requires an admin password. At this point it behaved the same way, by authenticating, moving to the next page, and then going back to request the credentials.
Browser is Firefox, I ran firebug and saw the POST and GET info. IE has been tried as well (same behavior).
I have also tried re-installing cf10. I am seing the same problem.
To note, when leaving the admin login page still, it appears to refresh. May that be part of the issue?
This is still the only error i see:
"Information","ajp-bio-8012-exec-24","10/30/13","10:03:17",,"An error occurred while fetching element from authcache."
Something else that is interesting, is that when I hit the below address, I get an invalid login in the logs:
http://127.0.0.1:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
When I use my AJP connector to apache, I get a valid login in the logs.
https://myserver/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

Browsers/Users to go to http:/none/index.cfm

I've getting a weird error on my CFMX 7.02 Server.
Sporadically when clicking around on websites, I'll get a
page cannot be displayed error. When I look at the application logs
on the server. I can that somehow the users is trying to access
\webroot\none\index.cfm instead of just webroot\index.cfm
I can't reproduce the error consistently, only if I click
around repeatedly I was wondering if anyone else has seen this
happen before and could possibly share some insight. Thanks, Jake

I have never run into or heard of a problem like this. My
first thought
when you described the behavior was a variable used to build
a url link
or something like that occasionally returning an unexpected
and
incorrect value. Does that ring any bells?
I.E.
<cfoutput...>
<a href="#aVar#/index.cfm">
</cfoutput>
Where aVar does not equal the expected string under some
condition.

Dreamweaver 8 not responding on cfm page

I have an existing .cfm page that I'm adding
<cfqueryparam> tags to several queries. Once I add the new
code if I try to highlight it in code view Dreamweaver quits
responding and peggs my processor and also uses around a gig of
physical ram. This continues until I end the Dreamweaver task using
Task Manager. The code is valid and works correctly through a web
browser but hangs as soon as I try to select any text in
dreamweaver. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this type of
issue and if so is there a way to stop it? Thanks in
advance.

I don't know if this is easier for you, but if you have more

File not found: index.cfm

Hi,
I have a new ColdFusion 9 install on a CentOS server with Apache 2.2
I applied the 9.0.1 update.
The install is Standard, not Enterprise.
I can access the admin at /CFIDE/... perfectly.
The problem is when I try to access the first domain I have setup on server, where I installed ColdFusion on Wheels. When I type (using example instead of real domain) www.example.com or www.example.com/index.cfm, I get a ColdFusion error screen saying that it cannot find index.cfm . But index.cfm is there.
I checked ColdFusion logs, and I have noticed that apparently, somewhere, two single quotes are being appended to the file name.
This is what I see in cfserver.log:
05/14 09:28:47 Error [jrpp-140] - File not found: /index.cfm The specific sequence of files included or processed is: /home/folder/folder/index.cfm''
(with those two single quotes in the end. The file, without the single quotes, exists. The path included in the log file is the real valid path)
From application.log:
"Error","jrpp-140","05/14/12","09:28:47",,"File not found: /index.cfm The specific sequence of files included or processed is: /home/folder/folder/index.cfm'' "
Here at application.log it is more obvious that two single quotes seem to be appended to the index.cfm file name.
Can any one help with this? Could be these quotes the problem, and if so, where do I need to change? Any help with this will be really appreciated.
Thanks.
Edit: adding text from exception.log in case it helps
"Error","jrpp-146","05/14/12","10:24:18",,"File not found: /index.cfm The specific sequence of files included or processed is: /home/folder/folder/index.cfm'' "

I have solved this problem and will leave the solution here in case it helps someone.
It was a permissions issue.
This server has cpanel. The account files are stored at /home/account/public_html folder.
The folder belongs to the account user, and nobody group.
I added coldfusion user to nobody group, and also to the account user group.
Then restarted coldfusion (without restarting it didn't work).
And now coldfusion finds the index.cfm file.

Index/Welcome page not coming up??

Greetings -
I am just getting things switched over from Windoze to our new iMac, and I finally figured out how to get my old web pages into iWeb for updating and publishing. I am able to get the site published to a folder (I'm not using .mac) and then FTP'd using Cyberduck, but when I try to bring the site up in Firefox, I get a directory listing of my files instead of the Index.html page. I can click on the index file to get the site up, but it won't come up on it's own. I would assume "user error", except the old index file loads without any problems. The only difference I can see is the case of the files - the Windoze files were all lower case, but the iWeb files are 1st letter cap.
Any help appreciated...for now I had to reload the old site files back onto the server just to keep the "web presence".
TIA...Bruce in Redding, CA (currently known as "**** on Earth" due to the wildfires)

If you're not already taking this approach:
"When you upload the files, instead of selecting the entire folder named "Site", select the contents of the folder instead."

Index.cfm in wwwroot used for all IIS sites

Just this morning it seems that all of our cf sites are pulling the same index.cfm file from our root cf8 directory although they are set in IIS to point to their correct directories. This has always worked for years and nothing has been changed. I've looked high and low and cant seem to find a solution. Any help would be appreciated

Check in CF Administrator to see if someone turned on "Cache web server paths" (it's on the Server Settings > Caching page).

How to make a variable global to use in all of my cfm page?

I have a problem with the variables.
i need to use a variable " loginrecord" in all of my cfm pages, its created in my login.cfm and the value of this needed in other page and maybe i need to change it .
in ASP simply we can use SESSION to make a variable global , is there any way in coldfusion ?
also in ASP we have a command SESSION.SESSIONID , so return the unique number from browser and we can se it as a security check for each one of people login to our site and each one is seperate random and unique number , is there any similar in coldfusion ?
Thanks
Alireza

Thanks,
the reason at the moment i stock with this command is i need to have login information available in all the pages to check the security. the good point i had in ASP is SESSION.SESSIONID , it make a unique number base on browser and i can check it if user loged in or no , or if loged in is the same user or other user . i couldnt find same command in coldfusion , and now i use <cflogin> but if i can find the way to have a browser session it help me in other part of my program.
i start coldfusion new ( near a month ) i have some book and Lynda DVDs, also online sources , and in this priod i re developed one of my program from ASP to coldfusion and its work. i am happy of this and help me to develop better and faster . in compare the coldfusion developed one realy is 40% original development in size and 50% faster . i have good background of ASP in last 8 years include MCSD and developed many program for a small and big companies. but i wanna to continue with coldfusion because i found it more helpfull than ASP specialy in FLASH development .
BTW thanks for your help

Abort a failed process inside a .cfm page

Hello everyone,
I have been bothered by this for a while.
I have a cfm page that is doing a process of extracting data
and ftp to locationA. I have this running for about two years. Then
there came the need to do the same process and ftp to locationB. I
did not want to repeat the process, so I added ftp locationB at the
end of the program, to use the same data file
The process runs well all the time when I only had
LocationA. The problem is locationB ftp server sometimes would
close and not to let me connect. this would stall the whole process
(I gues it was a rollback feature in cold fusion?), including the
steps of ftp to locationA, even though locationA's connection was
fine and open.
Is there a way in Cold fusion pages to abandon a step that
fails? In this case, I can put the code to ftp locationB in a
template. If this template fail, go on to the the next line in the
main page and not to quit the whole thing? I have seen this in
other programming languages which have the "abort" function.
Thanks in advance,

I figured it out!
Here is the code:
<cftry>
<cfftp action = "putfile"
username = "anonymous"
password = "mypassword"
server = "clientserver"
localFile = "c:/#filename#.xml"
remoteFile = "/uploads/#filename#.xml"
>


<cfcatch type = "application">

<h3>You've Thrown a Application
<b>Error</b></h3>
<cfoutput>

<p>#cfcatch.message#</p>
<p>Caught an exception, type = #CFCATCH.TYPE#
</p>
</cfoutput>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
All I care is that the program does not stop because of the
ftp error. I don't need the detail error message. Once I took out
the lines in the example, it worked fine.

Protect a form submit cfm page

How else to I protect a form submit cfm page to make sure the request only comes from pages in my own site?
So far I have this
<cfif Not cgi.REQUEST_METHOD eq "POST">
<cflocation url="../index.cfm" addtoken="no">
</cfif>

We do the following in our application.cfm:
<cfif isDefined("FORM.fieldNames") and len(FORM.fieldNames) and NOT reFindNoCase("^(http|https)://#CGI.HTTP_HOST#/",CGI.HTTP_REFERER)>
<cfabort showerror="Forbidden Request - POST request denied.">
</cfif>

Indexing .cfm files using Indexing Service on windows server 2008 and IIS 7.0

Hi All,
Anyone knows why .cfm files would not get indexed by Indexing Service on windows server 2008 and IIS 7.0. This is a coldfusion website using Indexing Service for site search. There are a lot of cfm pages indexed as unknown files. Any clues on how this can be fixed?
Thanks!

You might try editing your registry so that *.cfm, *.cfc, and other ColdFusion related files are treated as text files by the Windows search feature. See link below.
