Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Server Administration / July 2008

I don't think my logging is working correctly. I just sent an email using
CFMAIL and it wasn't logged into mail.log.
What could I have done to make this happen? and how can I get logging to work
again?

We have a server running CF8 in Eval mode and I have obtained the 24 digit key
from our software distributor in order to upgrade it to full Enterprise mode
I have seen in the CF admin panel where to upload the license but I am unsure
how to install it.

My Windows 2003 server has Coldfusion 7 and IIS 6.0 installed.
I have a  website with url example.com I can access Coldfusion administrator
with URL: https://www..com/cfide/administrator/index.cfm
I?m trying to register the a web service with the URL of the website hosted in

While investigating a problem with mail not getting handed off to our mail
server by ColdFusion Enterprise 8.0.1, I discovered that the "Maintain
connection to mail server" setting has the reverse effect of it's stated role,
if the debug logging is accurate.

I've inherited a coldfusion mx 7 system running on winblows 2003 and need
to add a database connection.  All the documentation says to use the
administrator but trying to access
http://localhost/cfide/administrator/index.cfm results in the error "unexpected

I need to create a new database connection for coldfusion mx 7 on winblows
2003 but coldfusion administrator is broken.  Is there any way to create a new
JDBC connection without it?  Perhaps some registry or ini file editing?  How
about for ODBC?

I have tried to submit this in a non-forum fashion, but being as this attack is
well published on the internet I thought here is fine.
We are running linux and CF7 into a MSSQL 2000 backend and we have been on the
recieving end of several SQL injection attacks.  We have taken ...

My exception.log giving the error "There is an error accessing the log file.
This could be caused by an incorrect log file name, or the log file does not
exists anymore. Or your ODBC log file driver has a configuration problem." when
I try to view it.

Hey everyone. Our server has coldfusion7 and is located in a remote location.
I'm trying to set it up so that anyone in our office can get debugging info,
but only when they enter the mode=debug parameter.
I've followed this....  

When we restart one of our CF8 instances that instance always go into
unresponsive status for 3-5 min before it will start to serve pages. Does
anyone know what might be causing this issue or how to resolve it. We are using
Windows 2008 (IIS7) and CF 8.0.1 in multiple instance ...

I'm using Coldfusion MX7 and I don't have an Oracle datasource driver available
in my drop down list, but I need to be able to connect to one.  How do I go
about getting this setup?  I've looked around, but can't seem to find any info
on how to do this.

Okay, i've done plenty of CF7 to CF8 upgrades and I have never seen this issue.
I run the autoplay,.exe and InstallAnywhere launches and I make it to the
language select screen and click okay,  About 3/4 of the way through the next
status bar.  I get a Fatal Application Error ...

What is going on here?
We are on Solaris.

Hello. Is it possible to create multiple instances under the same domain? For
example, I would like to have everything under inetpub/wwwroot/mysite to run
when I go to www.mysite.com/. But I'd like everything under
inetpub/wwwroot/mysite/admin to run as a separate instance ...

I've been asked to add some ColdFusion database features to an existing HTML
website.   Let's say the site's URL address is www.myclient.com.  
On the server (hosted elsewhere), the code for the above site is located in
