ContentBox giving error on installation - coldfusion

I am currently trying to install ContentBox 2 on my machine.
I am using ColdFusion 9.0.2, MySQL 5.6 and IIS 7 on Windows 7 Professional.
I have created database named “contentbox” and created a datasource named “contentbox” for it
as mentioned by the ContentBox documentation.
When I try to setup ContentBox, I’m presented with a datasource wizard page.
The wizard successfully verifies the datasource and gives me option to continue the setup.
On clicking the “continue installation” button I get the following error message:
Table cb_entry defined for cfc contentbox.model.content.Entry does not exist.
I’ve already given read/write permission to all the mentioned files and folders.
Can you help me sort out this issue.

I finally got the problem solved.
I contacted Ortus Solutions support. They advised to use ContentBox version 2.1 (Bleeding edge release) as Version 2.0 has some issues with CF9.
I have downloaded and installed the new version.
And it seems to be working fine.

All the IIS sites are already configured by some other version of ColdFusion

We recently did an update to 2016 for ColdFusion. After the update my application was not working. It shows Access Forbidden error. I checked the WS.config file to see if ColdFusion and IIS are connected. At that time I could see it was empty. When I tried to add it then it shows the error All the IIS sites are already configured by some other version of ColdFusion.
Can anyone please help me with this problem?
We got the error message All the IIS sites are already configured by some other version of ColdFusion. when switched to another Coldfusion version. We tried many of the solutions which didn't work out for us.
Finally, we uninstalled IIS windows feature entirely(we were able to do that since it was a dev machine) restarted as prompted, and installed IIS feature again which resolved the problem.

Sitecore publish not working after renaming item

I'm having a weird that's happening only on live and UAT environment. Locally and on QA works as expected.
The issue is:
I add a new item version
I rename the item
Publish
Expected behaviour: url to be updated;
What happens: url is not updated.
As a workaround, I rename the item, publish it, then add a new version.
Sitecore version: 8.2 rev 180406
Long shot, but has this instance been upgraded from a previous version? This was a known issue with v8.2 through Update 4. Check the version of Sitecore.Kernel.dll in that environment (as this was the file that got patched when issuing a support request).
I've open a ticket on Sitecore Support Portal, they provided a fix and I deployed it. After several testing scenarios the issue no longer reproduce.

Sitecore 8 Installation Wizard in Development tools not working

After I installed sitecore 8, looks like I cant access installation wizard on development tools. All I can see is blank popup on all the browsers. I checked the log files and could not find anything related.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Might help anyone with the same problem.
Sitecore is checking for Packages folder in Data Folder and failed. I don't understand why it can't create one(I checked the permissions all good.)Kind of bug in Sitecore 8 rev. 141212.
Once I created Packages folder, it's all good.
This is probably due to mongoDB not being setup properly.

Connecting ColdFusion 8 to Oracle 11g with JDBC

I created a datasource from my ColdFusion 8 admin using JDBC/Oracle Thin Client. The datasource creation was successful.
When Oracle encryption is configured as "Requested" I can browse my ColdFusion app. and run many functionalities with no problem. But when the Oracle encryption is configured as "Required" the connection fails.
The way I tested and know that it was failed was when I log in to my web app. It won't log me in. But when the Oracle is switched back as "Requested" I can log in successfully and run my tasks.
I have ColdFusion 8 Enterprise version and the operating system is Unix.
From the network dept, I was told they have the correct JAR file in place but not sure what is the correct JAR file.
Currently my web apps are running with datasource created using Oracle Thin Clint but the Oracle encryption needs to be switched back to "Requested" otherwise my users are complaining that they can't log in.
Has anyone ever experienced this situation and found a solution?
What should I do so I can use Oracle encryption set to "Required"?
I believe you are looking for the ojdbc14.jar file in the ColdFusion8/wwwroot/WEB-INF/lib directory (this will work with 11g).
I would give Coldfusion a restart but it might not be unnecessary.
Navigate to your Coldfusion Administrator.
In the ColdFusion Administration under data sources. Add a new data source along with your credentials and choose Other from the Database driver options.
Then enter this: jdbc:oracle:thin:#10.10.10.11:1521:ORCL in the JDBC URL Textarea.
In the Driver Class textfield enter oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver.
If you need a different jar (not sure you will) but if you do you can down load it from here.

Hope this is helpful or at least gets you further along.
Frank, Thank you for the answer but the java version running on my CF server is JAVA1.6 and the ojdbc.jar that's installed in there is ojdbc6.jar
Should the version of ojdbc.jar and java be the same? If I am already in the right track with my ojdbs.jar and java files then I'm back to square one
In addition, my further test using Oracle encryption as "Requested", I can run my apps. just fine except when my CF made a call to a str. procedure, it did not return a result. So I got CF error.
From me googling this issue, I found a blog that says this is a problem on CF standard version when using Oracle Thin Client. My CF is Enterprise edition.
I'm confused...is this related? how can I make this work?

I got following error When i open SiteCore website in Visual Studio 4.0

I got the following two errors when I open Sitecore 6.3 website in Visual Studio 4.0:
Error 1 The virtual path
'/sitecore/shell/Applications/Analytics/ReportRunner/DateSelector.ascx'
maps to another application, which is not allowed.
Error 2 Unknown
server tag 'ds:DateSelector'.
I simply install Sitecore 6.3 (website save into c:/inetpub/wwwroot/sitecoresite/website). When I open this site in Visual Studio 4.0, it shows error.
Can any body tell to me how can I open this or what mistake did I make?
As far as I understand your question, you get the error when you browse the newly installed Sitecore website, which is set up to run under ASP.NET 4.0 application pool. If that's the case, then I should inform you that it is supported to run Sitecore under ASP.NET 4.0 application pools starting from version 6.4.0.
So, you have two options here:
setup your application pool to use ASP.NET 2.0 (make sure .NET 2.0 is installed)
upgrade a Sitecore instance to the 6.4.0+ (which might not be acceptable)
Hope this helps.
I'm not sure if you are having issues because of the way you are opening the project, there are a few issues if you open it as a File-System website project you will want to create a Web Application Project and go from there.
You can look at this blog post :
Simplify Sitecore Visual Studio Project Creation (or the previous version) for information on how to setup a Visual Studio Project correctly for Sitecore.
I actually think this might just be as simple as a missing tilde. So rather having
/sitecore/shell/Applications/Analytics/ReportRunner/DateSelector.ascx
you should have
~/sitecore/shell/Applications/Analytics/ReportRunner/DateSelector.ascx
