How can I get back my ColdFusion 2016 Server Updates page? - coldfusion

I updated Coldfusion 2016 with Update 9 earlier today (Feb 22, 2019). Now, when I log into the CF Administrator and visit
Server Update > Updates
I get the universal error handler page we set for our website we set in
Server Settings > Settings > Error Handlers > Site-Wide Error Handler
I can click around the CF Administrator page links on the left menu and the error only comes up when I click on server updates.
Do you know how I can check if the update was successful? Can you tell me how to get my Updates page back?

Where is the session timeout setting for Content Author and Administrator in Sitecore 9.2?

I am having trouble accessing CM on Sitecore 9.2 (built on Azure PaaS) without getting a session timeout.
I have the following settings, but if I leave the browser open for more than 20 minutes with the launchpad displayed, and then click any button
After that, when I click on some button, I expected to be forcibly logged out, but
I expected that the session timeout would occur when I left the system for more than 20 minutes without logging out, and then clicked some button.
Please let me know if there is a way to force a session timeout logout.
Configuration details
(1) Web.config
<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="20" sessionIDManagerType="Sitecore.SessionManagement. CoditionalSessionIdManager">
(2) Sitecore
<setting name="Authentication.ClientSessionTimeout" value="20" />
I would appreciate your help.
I am also facing the same issue with Sitecore 9.3. You can try below solution if it works.
Set ExpireTimeSpanin Sitecore.Owin.Authentication.config which is given below for bow "PreviewCookieAuthentication" and "CookieAuthentication".
00:20:00
Then Set in sitecore.config.
It should work for 20 minutes. I am facing issue when I increase timeout value from 20 to 30 minute.

Coldfusion same file different output on CF10 and CF11 using cfheader

I have this simple code in Coldfusion
<cfheader
statuscode="400"
statustext="There was something wrong with the request."
/>
<cfoutput>This is what I want to return as the output.</cfoutput>
<cfabort>
When I run this on my localhost running CF10, I get this output on my Chrome browser:
But when I run this same file on another server running CF11, I get this output:
Am I missing something? Is there some other way of doing this in CF11?
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
The issue actually has nothing to do with ColdFusion, either 10 or 11.
By default, IIS shows not does not show the statustext portion of the error message; it only shows the statuscode number. This is a security feature to prevent data leakage. If you do want to show the statustext portion of the error message, that is called "Detailed Error Messages" in IIS.
Steps to enable Detailed Error Messages in IIS 7:
Open the IIS7 manager
Select the Website and on its features view, double click on "Error Pages".
Right click and select the "Edit Feature Settingsā€¦" or select the same from the Actions pane (in the right hand side)
Select the "Detailed errors" radio button and click on OK
Now, even your client browsers will be able to see the detailed error messages.

Using ColdFusion and getting "Internal Server Error" instead of ColdFusion error page [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
IIS7 Hijacks My Coldfusion Error Page
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
I'm using IIS7 with Windows Server2008 R2. I have ColdFusion 11 set up and running. Everything seems to work fine except whenever I have a coldfusion error, I get an error message from IIS instead of ColdFusion. I get the generic 500 - Internal Server Error instead of the ColdFusion page telling me what is wrong.
This is a new installation on an empty server. Nothing else is running on this machine and nothing else has been loaded.
In the ColdFusion Administrator I have the check boxes for "Enable Robust Exception Information" and "Enable Request Debugging Output" checked.
If there are no errors on the page, the page works fine. Its just hard to debug when I can't see what's wrong if there is a typo or something.
Thanks.
Check your "enable http status codes" setting under server settings > settings in the CF administrator. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf3638e6-7ffc.html
When CF sets a 500 status code on error IIS sees this and responds with its error page.
While unchecking this option will technically solve your issue the real solution would be to modify IIS' settings so that it serves up your desired error page. You shouldn't be sending coldfusion's error pages to users on a production site.

Server home is not valid for ColdFusion10 in CF Builder

Today when I was trying to configure my ColdFusion10 Server with the ColdFusion Builder 2, It shown me a error message like "Sever home is not valid", Screenshot:
I can not move forward both the "Next" and "Finish" button is disabled and showing the error message.
Can anyone please suggest me which path I should provide ?
As per your comment above: you've selected "JRun" as your application server, but ColdFusion 10 runs on Tomcat. That'll be your problem.

Login error to Sharepoint 2013 repository using openCMIS Workbench

using the OpenCMIS Workbench 0.8.0, I can load the sharepoint 2013 (GA) repositories fine but get the following error when I try to login to one of the repositories such as Documents:
"Invalid Argument: One or more of the input parameters to the service method is missing or invalid"
Found a blog with some instructions but those didn't work for me:
http://dhartford.blogspot.com/2013/01/sharepoint-2013-w-apache-chemistry-cmis.html?showComment=1359398536275#c6910049622927723676
Note: Here is the service url format that I am using:
http://myserver.xxx.com/MYSITE/cmis/_vti_bin/cmis/rest?getRepositories
Does anybody know what the problem is?
Here is the stack trace from Workbench:

Another thing that I noticed is that none of the URLs from the service document work when I use them from a browser. So i think the service doc doesn't have valid urls.
Give the latest CMIS Workbench a try:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachechemistry-166/org/apache/chemistry/opencmis/chemistry-opencmis-workbench/0.9.0-beta-1/chemistry-opencmis-workbench-0.9.0-beta-1-full.zip
Didn't have the time to post the solution but here is basically what I had to do after getting help from Microsoft. I was missing Step B below:
A. Activate the CMIS feature for your sub site
Go to the Sharepoint 2013 Central Administration
Click on the Sites link and then click on your sub site. Or navigate directly to it. eg http://myserver/mysitename
Click on the Settings icon (gear top right) and then select Site Settings
Under Site Actions, click Manage Site Features
Click Activate for the CMIS producer.
B. Check Alternate Access Mappings
Go to the Central Administration page
Under System Settings, click Configure Alternate Access Mappings
There should be at least two urls. One with server short name and one with server full name.
If the url is missing, click Add Internal Urls
For the Alternate Access Mapping Collection, click the No Selection link, change and select:
SharePoint - 80
Set the url such as http://myserver.usa.com (full domain name)
Set Zone: any such as Intranet
Click Save
My suggestion would be to:
start the Workbench, do not login yet
close the connection popup
open the Log window with the button on the top right corner
increase the log level to DEBUG or more verbose
try to connect
check the logs again, possibly posting them here
The actual root of the problem turned out to be a missing Alternate Access Mapping. Not sure why it was missing in the first place.
So I added an internal url that has the full server name address instead of just the short name. A microsoft dev helped me figure this out.
Remove any proxy settings from internet explorer before you launch OpenCMIS, also reset any system wide proxy settings: netsh winhttp reset proxy
Make sure your share point web app is set to accept only basic authentication as described in the blog post you mentioned
Removing the proxy from IE and system wide fixed my problem .. I can now login to sharepoint 2013 using OpenCMIS
ah before i forget the URL syntax should be http://server:port/_vti_bin/cmis/rest/?getRepositories
Good luck
