I'm checking the tag cfform in coldfusion, the codes are very simple:
<cfform name="testFrm" format="Flash">
<cfinput type="text" name="abc" value ="">
</cfform>
But when running it says:
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - .../1405338045.mxml.cfswf"
The form cannot be shown.
Anybody here got this error? Could you help me about this, I have no any clues on this?
Thanks.
I suspect you do not have a /CFIDE virtual directory mapping, which one needs if one is to use things like <cfform>.
Short of having that mapping, one can use <cfajaximport> to specify an alternative location for the resource files that <cfform> requires to work.
If you're using CF11, open the web.xml file in
{CF11}\cfusion\wwwroot\WEB-INF\web.xml and uncomment any configs that have to do with SWF or CFForm. Restart CF and try again.
Had a client with lots of legacy code that needed flash forms and this fixed the 404's for "mxml.cfswf" files for the client, so I figured I'd post here for the sake of anyone else searching on this topic.

In my application.cfc file I have the following code:
this.mappings["/includes"] = "#expandPath('../../priv/inc/')#";
and then on a page I have the following CF include set up:
<cfinclude template="/includes/imageOptimise-thumbnail.cfm">
For the majority of the time when the page is submitted the imageOptimise-thumbnail page runs without any issue but occasionally it will error saying that it can't find the imageOptimise-thumbnail.cfm. If I resubmit the page, chances are it will work but the question is, why is it sometimes not being able to find the page?
I had a look in the CF Admin and I can't see anything in the logs saying that there was an error but it is clearly showing a Coldfusion 'template not found' error message when it fails.
Anyone got any ideas?
I think your issues stem from the fact that the path used for the mapping is relative.
According to advice in ColdFusion Mappings and Relative Paths,
the moral of the story is to NEVER use expandPath() to create a
mapping that’s relative to the webroot.
Try to make the webroot static as the blog suggests
<cfset this.mappings["/myapplication"] =getDirectoryFromPath(getCurrentTemplatePath())
and navigate to /priv/inc/ from the webroot
Thanks for everyone in advance.
I encountered a problem when using Scrapy on Python 2.7.
The webpage I tried to crawl is a discussion board for Chinese stock market.
When I tried to get the first number "42177" just under the banner of this page (the number you see on that webpage may not be the number you see in the picture shown here, because it represents the number of times this article has been read and is updated realtime...), I always get an empty content. I am aware that this might be the dynamic content issue, but yet don't have a clue how to crawl it properly.
The code I used is:
item["read"] = info.xpath("div[#id='zwmbti']/div[#id='zwmbtilr']/span[#class='tc1']/text()").extract()
I think the xpath is set correctly and I have checked the return value of this response and it indeed told me that there is nothing under this directory. Results shown here:'read': [u'<div id="zwmbtilr"></div>']
If it has something, there should be something between <div id="zwmbtilr"> and </div>.
Really appreciated if you guys share any thoughts on this!
I just opened your link in Firefox with NoScript enabled. There nothing inside the <div #id='zwmbtilr'></div>. If I enable the javascripts, I can see the content you want. So, as you already new, it is a dynamic content issue.
Your first option is try to identify the request generated by javascript. If you can do that, you can send the same request from scrapy. If you can't do it, the next option is usually to use some package with javascript/browser emulation or someting like that. Something like ScrapyJS or Scrapy + Selenium.
I have a simple HTML Form
<form id="uploadForm" method="post" action="/cgi-bin/test.cgi" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="submit" name="add_something" value="add">
<input size="50" type="file" name="myFile" accept="application/zip">
</form>
In addition I do some web page localization on server side by checking user browser locale or searching for a self set language session cookie.
If I upload a file with
Iron 18.0.1050.0
Opera 11.64.1403
Firefox 3.6.27
Firefox 12.0
Google Chrome 19.0.1084.52
SeaMonkey 2.9.1
all works fine. But If I upload a file with
IE 9.0.8112.16421
Maxton 3.3.8.3000
the localization fails. I detected the issue inside the HTTP request:
Opera 11
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="myFile"; filename="ziptest.zip"
Content-Type: application/zip
and IE 9
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="myFile"; filename="C:\Documents and Settings\m1krsch\Documents\Now Some Spaces\ziptest.zip"
Content-Type: application/x-zip-compressed
If I remove the spaces from the path all works fine in IE and Maxton.
Neighter can I exchange the used cgicc library because it is fixed part of the project nor can I force a user to use a path without spaces. How can I circumvent this issue? Is there a way to force IE/Maxton to use the filename instead of the abolute filepath? Or can I set a specific parameter in cgi/env to prevent transmission of abolute filepath?
[EDIT]
I found out that this is a security issue in IE and Maxton. The security zone model of IE allows by default to "Include local directory path when uploading files". I can disallow this behaviour only by changing the client configuration but I am still searching for an application-based solution.
[/EDIT]
Try replacing the spaces with '%20':
"C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\m1krsch\Documents\Now%20Some%20Spaces\ziptest.zip"
I found a stupid error in my localization code. I am using RapidXML for this and encapsulate the whole localization code and RapidXML headers in one class. Unfortunately I did not read the documentation very careful. The data inside vector<char> object - which is holding the XML document data - is not copied into the XML document object xml_document<> by using the parse() method as expected. This looks like procedural C code to me and is in my opinion bad OOD. The documentation says:
3.1 Lifetime Of Source Text
In-situ parsing requires that source text lives at least as long as the document object.
The problem vanished when I corrected my code to get a global vector<char> object inside my localization class.
Nevertheless I am perplexed why mostly all other browsers have no problem with my old code.
In the application I designed, I named one of my web pages "error.cfm". I want it to display whenever there is an error from the application. So I put the following code inside "error.cfm":
An uncaught exception just 'happened' :-(
<br><br>
<b><cfoutput>#exception.message#</cfoutput></b><br />
<cfoutput>#exception.detail#</cfoutput><br /><br />
<cfif isdefined('exception.cause')>
<b><cfoutput>#exception.cause.message#</cfoutput></b><br />
<cfoutput>#exception.cause.detail#</cfoutput>
</cfif>
<cfdump var="#exception#">
So after hosting the website, I discovered that this particular page refused to load and instead a '500 Internal Error' was displayed. I then complained to my hosting company and I was sent these details:
Dear Customer,
The actual error message is the following:
Security: The requested template has been denied access to createobject(java).
The following is the internal exception message: access denied (coldfusion.runtime.FunctionPermission createobject(java))
The error occurred in C:\inetpub\vhosts\plat4ad.com\httpdocs\cms\error.cfm: line 10

Unfortunately some tags and functions are disabled on our servers due to security purposes. You can check full list here:

Now checking the lists of the tags they disabled on their servers, CFDUMP was among them:
On the shared ColdFusion servers you will have access to all tags and
functions except for the following:
CF Tags:
CFCOLLECTION
CFCONTENT
CFDUMP
CFEXECUTE
CFLOG
CFOBJECT
CFOBJECTCACHE
CFREGISTRY
CF Functions:
SetProfileString
CreateObject(COM)
CreateObject(CORBA)
CreateObject(JAVA)
Please is there any alternative for CFDUMP? Or does anyone know any ColdFusion hosting company that doesn't have these restrictions? I appreciate any ideas from you.
How about this: http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2010/10/6/Cant-dump-Try-a-fake-dump
If you get yourself VPS (google:coldfusion VPS) you'll be able to do on that machine whatever you want.
The whole point of not having cdump is security measure. Usually all debugging and dumping raw data is done on development server and on hosted server you run applications, right? Error.cfm is used to hide caught exception details, like path to your files, data about used libraries etc.
There're ways to display data without cfdump. In your case I don't see why you couldn't use plain cfoutput and write exception details as 2 lines of output.
In your place, I'd take source codes of fw/1 or Mura CMS to see how they handle error messages, better to see how more experienced people are doing it then to "waste" time reinventing the wheel.
CFDUMP began life as a custom tag before it was ever included in ColdFusion.
It still appears to be downloadable: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1002037
You may need to make changes to it to work (better) in more modern versions of CF, but it should probably do more than 90 per cent of what you need it for.
I will add that if you choose to "dump" details, you can also wrap the dump code in an "if" block that looks at your cgi.REMOTE_ADDR and if it matches your IP address, does the dumpout, otherwise doesn't.
<cfif cgi.REMOTE_ADDR EQ "167.96.177.66">
<!--- execute dump code here --->
</cfif>
Caveats: YMMV, have to have a static IP, have to BE at that IP, etc.
I am not a ColdFusion coder. Doing a favor for a friend who ported his CF site from a Windows server to Unix on GoDaddy.
Site is displaying error:
Cannot find CFML template for custom tag jstk. ColdFusion
attempted looking in the tree of installed custom tags but did not
find a custom tag with this name.
The site as I found it has at document root /CustomTags with the jstk.cfm file and a set of files in cf_jstk
My Googling located this:
You must store custom tag pages in any one of the following:
The same directory as the calling page;
The cfusion\CustomTags directory;
A subdirectory of the cfusion\CustomTags directory;
A directory that you specify in the ColdFusion Administrator
So I have:
Tried creating placing /CustomTags in /cfusion/CustomTags
Tried copying /cfusion/CustomTags to above document root
Tried copying jstk.cfm and subfolders into same directory as calling file(index.cfm)
Update: Per GoDaddy support I have also tried adding the following to no effect: <cfmodule template="CustomTags/jstk.cfm">
Can any one give me some tips on this or should I just tell my guy to look for a CF coder?
Thanks!
I don't know how GoDaddy is setup, so as a quick test, please do the following:
Create file test.cfm in the webroot with contents:
<cf_testtag/>
<cfoutput>test</cfoutput><cfabort/>
Create file testtag.cfm in the webroot with contents:
<cfdump var=#ThisTag# />
Then in a browser visit the test.cfm page.
You should get two debug dumps, followed by the 'test'; this will confirm that custom tags in general are working.
If that works move the testtag.cfm to the CustomTags directory, and see if you get the same behaviour or an error.
If this produces an error, for CF8 and above, you can add <cfset This.CustomTagPaths = "/CustomTags" /> inside the Application.cfc file (assuming there is a App cfc and not an Application.cfm) to ensure that directory is checked for tags.
It is possible to convert Application.cfm to Application.cfc - how easy this is depends on how complex the code is in there - might be something you could figure out, or might need an experienced CF dev, it depends.
Depending on the outcome of this, we can attempt to debug why the jstk tag isn't working (unless one of the above solves it).
In an effort to check the simple things before worrying about complex things:
Remember that filenames on *nix systems are case sensitive, but on windows are not.
For example, a windows server will pick up "application.cfm" but a linux server won't. It requires "Application.cfm".
Check to make sure all filenames/paths are the correct case.
Normally, CFML check every custom tags in current directory first, if not found, second is in CFMX8/customtags/.
