Transitioning to Coldfusion 8

When I attempted to transition my websites that use the Dreamweaver Developer Toolkit from CF7 to CF8, I get the following error message (as an example):
Permission denied for creating Java object: coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory.
Access to Java objects in the ColdFusion package has been disabled by the administrator.
The error occurred in wwwroot\includes\common\KT_functions.inc.cfm Line 1703
I understand that the CF8 security recommendations are to disable access to internal CF8 java components. What should I do with those pages using Developer Toolkit which make use of the internal CF8 java components?
Your help is very much appreciated.

I am in the same boat as you are Terry. I begged my hosting company to enable them, but they wouldn't do it. So I had to end up changing Hosting companies. I have been at this all day today since 7:30 am. In the KT_functions.inc.cfm, what I was told was you can edit out the part and put your database information, but I didn't know exactly what they where talking about. I do know the setting is in the setting section about 3/4 down the page that says something like "Disable ColdFusion 8 Java Objects". To make addt work now, you have to have that unchecked.

Wierd ColdFusion erro : Error occurred while processing request.

Hi there ,
I am a graduate student and new to ColdFusion.I started working on this already developed project by someone couple of years ago , and the client wants some changes to be done.so i went ahead and did some small modifications to the appearance of the form(insertdata.cfm page) like adding some more options to a drop down menu , changing the label names and so on and am very sure this changes would not have effected the application in any way.And the place where the message says the error can be , i didnt even touch that part.Now after 4 days i start getting this weird error saying " Error Occurred While Processing Request
The system has attempted to use an undefined value, which usually indicates a programming error, either in your code or some system code.
Null Pointers are another name for undefined values."

Problem with return a ColdFusion query object from a Java class

Hi!
I need to return a ColdFusion query object from a Java class
using a JDBC result set ( java.sql.ResultSet);
I have tried to pass my JDBC result set in to the constructor
of the coldfusion.sql.QueryTable class with this code:
ColdFusion code
<cfset pra = createObject("java","QueryUtil").init()>
<cfset newQuery = CreateObject("java",
"coldfusion.sql.QueryTable")>
<cfset newQuery.init( pra.getColdFusionQuery () ) >
My java class execute a query to db and return QueryTable
Java code (QueryUtil.java)
import coldfusion.sql.QueryTable; // (CFusion.jar for class
QueryTable)
import com.allaire.cfx //(cfx.jar for class Query used from
QueryTable)
public class QueryUtil
public static coldfusion.sql.QueryTable
getColdFusionQuery(java.sql.ResultSet rs)
return new coldfusion.sql.QueryTable(rs);
but when i run cfm page and coldfusion server tries to
execute : "<cfset pra =
createObject("java","QueryUtil").init()>" this error appears:
Object Instantiation Exception.
An exception occurred when instantiating a java object. The
cause of this exception was that: coldfusion/sql/QueryTable.
If i try to execute QueryUtil.java with Eclipse all it works.
Also I have tried to return java.sql.ResultSet directly to
coldfusion.sql.QueryTable.init () with failure.
Do you know some other solution?

ok

Coldfusion session variables being lost

ok so when my users login I establish session variables. one of these is employee id. in my Application.cfc I have this at the top:
<cfscript>
this.name = "My App";
this.sessiontimeout=CreateTimeSpan("0", "0", "45", "0");
this.SESSIONMANAGEMENT="YES";
this.SetClientCookies = "true";
this.setDomainCookies = "true";
</cfscript>
i also set the timeout for sessions at 45 in the CFadmin too.
after a successfull login i capture their session.employeenumber by authenticating through our corporate LDAP. no problem there. note: this app has run smoothly for 6+ years now but something has recently gone wrong.
on every page i reference a file in my application directory called "check_session.cfm" like this:
<cfmodule template="/myApp/Tags/check_session.cfm">
In that file I have code that checks for the existence of the session.employee_number. if it doesn't exist they either timed out or book-marked a page in the app in which they need to be logged in to view:
<cflock timeout="30" throwontimeout="Yes" type="READONLY" scope="SESSION">

<CFIF NOT IsDefined("Session.employee_number")>
     <CFLOCATION URL="http://#cgi.HTTP_HOST#/myApp/LoginAgain.cfm">
</CFIF>
</cflock>
every now and then (i'd say on average 5 times per week) i get an error message from a user (i re-direct all errors to my email with diagnostic info). the error reads "Element EMPLOYEE_NUMBER is undefined in SESSION". when i look at the page the error came from i see my call to the check_session.cfm file about 50 lines above where this error happened when i tried to reference session.employee_number. why wouldn't it not find it and re-direct the user to the timeout page? i can never duplicate this error on my machine either... i always get the right result without the error message. its a random, sporadic, intermittent error.

Here is the diagnostic error information. Where you see [omitted] i've changed the URL for the purposes of displaying this detail in a public forum:

Coldfusion tags are not recognized

Hi all,
I am new to coldfusion.
I have installed coldfusion studio software onto my machine.
I have created a cfm page with following tags.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<body>
Hi ,<br/>
<cfset msg="Welcome to coldfusion">
<cfoutput>#msg#</cfoutput>
</body>
</html>
When i run this page I am getting output as
Hi,
#msg#
Can u suggest me how can i resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance...

Your web server is not passing the CFML files to the
ColdFusion server.
Review your installation process.
Review your installation logs.
Can you access your ColdFusion Administrator?
What flavor of ColdFusion did you install?

File Upload using Flex/ColdFusion. 2044 error

I am looking for a little more clarity around the file upload using Flex and Cold Fusion. When I run this using my server I get Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2038: File I/O Error.
I did create a regular cfform and had it use my ColdFusion upload form and that worked fine, so I feel good about the upload form. I am starting to think there is a permission error with the Flash Player writing to the folder. When this is ran, it will show the file being 100% loaded but the complete event is never triggered. I put alerts to see where it hits and 100 does show at the same time as my error message. The complete alert never shows. I also put an alert in my cfm page and it never reaches that page to hit it. Whether I use an absolute URL or relative path. I have also tried the urlrequestmethod.post and nothing changed. Thanks in advance. BTW. I am using Flex 3.

Presumably you need to add a result handler to your request.

ColdFusion won't display unicode (utf-8) characters

I have a very basic page with some unicode characters in it. ColdFusion won't properly display them. If I resave the page as .html (so the coldfusion server doesn't process it), the characters display fine.
Below is my page. Notice that the charset is set to utf-8.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5. Running IIS 7 and CF 9.
The text "why isn’t this working" has a smart apostrophe that DOES NOT DISPLAY PROPERLY when run through CF. I've searched around and all I see is that CF has unicode "turned on by default" but no where can I find where to make sure it is set.

why isn’t this working?
</body>
</html>

it seems that having cfprocessingdirective in every template is a documented best-practice in the CFWACK (Vol 2). I learned something new today.
God, really? Who came up with that?
One needs to put it in any file that has characters with "ASCII" codes higher than 127, so as to forewarn the compiler to expect them. I also dunno why one can't just tell the compiler "treat all files this way". It's daft not to.
Anyway, most CFM files - which ought to contain just code - shouldn't have a problem because code won't generally have anything outside the 0-127 range; just the odd hard-coded value. So to recommend to put it at the top of every file is just stupid. Put it in the files that need it. That's it.
As to why it needs to go in the file itself rather than somewhere "upstream" in the request - like OnRequestStart() or something is that this tag - unlike most - is a compile time directive (as opposed to runtime). And at compile time, CF is not running the code, it's just compiling it, so it doesn't know anything about the sequence in which files will be called (indeed it's not actually the CFM files themselves being called anyhow).

Coldfusion service doesn't start after update 12

Hi,
I am running CF10 on Windows 2008 R2 server.
Today, I applied update hotfix 12 to my Coldfusion10 server installation and now Coldfusion 10 Application Server does not start anymore.
After install I ran Web server configuration as recommended. Now, when I start it from server manager concole I get an error Windows could not start the Coldfusion 10 Application Server...
When I start Coldfusion Administrator I get page with:
Service Temporary Unavailable!
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Jakarta/ISAPI/isapi_redirector/1.2.32 ()
I downloaded hotfix directly from this page http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-10-update-12.html after running Update from Administrator and download failed few times.
I restarted the server box but, it did not help.
Any ideas?
Thanks

running cfstart did not work and, suggested logs just show cf errors prior installation of the update.
this is the tail from coldusion-error.log, i think created by install

ColdFusion 8 drops Arabic characters when generating PDF doc

Hello All,
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong here! I have trouble with generating a PDF document from ColdFusion.
The cfm document contains mixed English and Arabic text and it seems that the ColdFusion's embedded PDF Generator drops Arabic characters when creating the PDF file.
I attached a bare bone cfm document (see print_test.cfm) that I used as an example to the stated problem.
The document:
displays fine in FireFox 3.0.10 (see attached print_test_screenshot.jpg) Used link:
http://localhost:8500/Print_test.cfm?display=yes
This image file also shows the characters that get dropped by the ColdFusion's embedded PDF Generator.
is converted fine in PDF by the FireFox 3.0.10 using print command line (see attached print_test_firefox.pdf) Used command:
“C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -print "http://localhost:8500/Print_test.cfm?display=yes" -printmode pdf -printfile "c:\pdf\print_test_firefox.pdf" -printdelay 150
is NOT converted to PDF properly by the ColdFusion using the embedded PDF generator (see attached print_test_cf.pdf) Used command: http://localhost:8500/Print_test.cfm
The print_test.cfm file, which I had to remove since this forum allows me to post only 3 attachments, has the following content:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

"I suppose you did it through the cfdocument tag in a cfm document". nope i used
the iText library (the one that ships w/cf) directly in cf to see where the
problem actually was. i don't think this is something you want to do?
i reported this as a bug to adobe, you can help get something done by adding
your own bug report here:

Coldfusion 9.01 no longer recognizes virtual directories

Hi -
I have an application that has been working fine for over a year and now anything that references Virtual Directories no longer functions. Here are the details:
Coldfusion is running on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise.
Using IIS6 for the web server on the same box.
I have several virtual directories setup that reference files on another server on the same network.
What I did to break things... I installed Apache (the latest release) along with PHP - but I set Apache up to listen on a different port (8080). Suddently any part of my code that tries to reference a file that is found through a virtual directory generates the following error:
An error occurred when performing a file operation exists on file /serverpdfs/130kPDFs/137485.pdf.
The cause of this exception was: org.apache.commons.vfs.FileSystemException: Could not determine the type of file "http://www.mybp-graphics.com/serverpdfs/130kPDFs/137485.pdf"..
Here's the actual code that generated that error:
<cfset filename = "http://www.mybp-graphics.com/serverpdfs/130kPDFs\137485.pdf">
     then within a table...
     <cfif FileExists("#filename#")>
    <td>Yes File</td>
    <cfelse>
    <td>No file</td>
    </cfif>
The "serverpdfs" is the virtual directory inside the website "mybp-graphics.com". If I look in IIS the directory is there, I can see all the files in it - it seems to be working fine.
I first experienced the problem when we tried to open a PDF for viewing by using <CFCONTENT> - the same type error occurs.
What is especially suspicious is that the exception was was "org.apache.commons.cfs.FileSystemException" - This error still persists even though I have done the following:
1. Completely de-installed Apache and hid the PHP directory.
2. Re-installed ColdFusion from scratch.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated - this error is affecting multiple modules of a website that is used constantly by both our customers and our internal employees.
If this should be posted in a different area of the forum please let me know.
Thanks
Curt

Sean,
Thanks for your reply - in regards to the "FileExists()" - I had set that up as a quick test and received the same error (essentially) as my primary code that is generating the eror. Below is the actual code that generates the error - along with the full output of the error message below;
The code calls another file to actually "push" the PDF I am trying to open - hopefully the code all makes sense. The CFSET code calculates the file name as files are stored in different sub-directories. This code has worked well for over a year.
As for the 500 error - I suspect that is a permissions issue - that folder is not publicly accessible - but it is to the coldfusion user account - and thus it serves it up.
Code:

ColdFusion - Page Last Modified?

Hello folks,
I would like to present the date that each page on a site was
last modifed.
The JavaScript scripts available don't seem to work correctly
on CF pages,
and I understand that a server-side script would be more
reliable/accurate.
Can anyone tell me how to do this with CF? I've done a lot of
searching on
CF script sites, with no success.
Thanks very much in advance,

Thank you both - sorry, getting back after being off-computer
for the
evening. I will try this tomorrow - meanwhile, check the
thread related to
this one with JavaScript in the subject line - Massimo Foti
gave me (and
anybody else who wants it) a nice solution for this which
worked great.
Meanwhile, your help has been much appreciated. :-)

ColdFusion.navigate and PIE.htc

Hello, everyone.
I'm not sure if PIE.htc is part of the problem; I am assuming.
But most of the links that appear in Google when using "ColdFusion 9" +"'f' is null or not an object" as the keyword search are links related to PIE.htc.
I have a list of links that load in a cfdiv when clicked. [onClick = ColdFusion.navigate('doc.cfm?param=blah blah blah','div_name',myCallback,myErrorHandler)]
The first time a link is clicked, no problems whatsoever.
The second time a link is clicked (ANY link), I get the error message 'f' is null or not an object.
Does ColdFusion.navigate clear/delete a JavaScript variable called 'f' when it kicks in?
Any suggestions on what could be causing this?
Thanks,
^_^

The following code works.
Here you go:
I had to make a simple version. I am swamped today.

I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems. When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell. I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box. During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations. There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb. After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation. I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine. BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true. Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box. After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging. Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer. The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe! By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost. Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded. At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation.
PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
Back Up SBS
It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes. Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason. Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone. You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore. Here are the basic steps:
Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools. Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
Choose the “Custom” radio button. What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others. Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups. You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images. Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency. Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product. If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
Confirm everything and click “Backup”. This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
Verify ISAPI Filters:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS. If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
IsapiFilterModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
IsapiModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
Set Up Development Environment
Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\). For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory. This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders.
Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane. Expand the “Sites” folder. Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”). You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name. NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
Don’t worry about testing the connection. If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV). Don’t worry about this for the time being.
Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”). Click “OK”.
Configure Application Pools for Installation
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”. NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Do a search and change this one line from:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
To this:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
Restart the IIS Admin service.
Set HTTP Compression
According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
Run the following command:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Restart the IIS Admin service. This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
INSTALLATION TASKS
Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
If you have an Enterprise license, enter it. For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”. It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation. My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS. Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button. Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”. Hit “OK”.
Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”). Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”). The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
Enter an Administrator password.
Choose to Enable RDS, or not. I enable this by preference but it is not required. This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely. Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
Confirm everything to kick off the install.
If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful. I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install. NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks. The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
Verify CF Installation:
The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8. The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory. Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen. Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly. The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start. Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time. This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.). There is no need to restart IIS.
Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”). In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”. Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
Lastly, jump up and down for joy! Hopefully now, everything is working. Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
Second, this is probably your problem right here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

How can I select just the clips, or just the transitions?

If I have a timeline with 50 or more clips (or still shots, in my case) with cross dissolves between each one, I would like to select just the clips, or just the transitions, but not both. How do I do this?
Why? I am creating a video with hundreds of stills and a few video clips, and occasiionally need to change the duration of all stills at the same time (from 3 seconds to 4, for example). Or, if I want all of the cross dissolves to last 1:15 instead of 1:00, it would be nice to select and change them all at once. However, in both cases, I can't figure out how to select all 50 without having to Command-click 50 times.
Any ideas you have will be appreciated.
Bart

To perform the same duration change on just the transitions (cross dissolves, in this example), this technique will work:
Open timeline index.
Enter "cross" in the search box (or whatever transition you're wanting to change).
Select all cross dissolves in list (click one, then type Command-A).
Click the time strip in the top of the timeline area.
All of the transitions in the list should now be selected in the timeline.
Control-D to change duration.
Enter new duration.
Hit Return.
I hope this saves someone all of the time I spent on it today. I'm still ahead, though, thanks to Tom's help. This saved litterally hundreds of Command-clicks.

Error while assigning resultset value to Querytable variable in Coldfusion 10

We are upgrading from coldfusion 8 to 10. Internally we were using java function to to get the data.
In java function we have a resultset object, if we assign this resultset value to Querytable variable, we are getting below error. This code was working fine in coldfusion 8.
Detail    This exception is usually caused by service startup failure. Check your server configuration.
