Where can I download ColdFusion MX 6 or 6.1? - coldfusion

I know there old and everything, and I already have Coldfusion 8, but I found a great hosting deal and need Coldfusion mx6.1 for it - deos anyone have a link to a place where i can download it?

ColdFusion mx 6.1 windows IS available form FigLeaf, they were given permission to host the downlaod from Adobe. From an old mailing list post I've have stored for prosperity.
Fig Leaf Software has been authorized by Adobe to provide older releases of
CF upon request:

hth,
john.
UPDATE 19/01/2012 - The above link is still active!

If you have good hosting deal and want cheap (or free) CFML engine, why wouldn't you try the Railo?

If you want a free CFML engine, then Railo is definitely the way to go! I've had it running on my server for about a year now and love it!

Official Coldfusion 6 is no longer downloadable from Adobe and support is discontinued.

There is no free edition of Coldfusion which can be used for business. Coldfusion 9 has a free educational version for universities as well as a developer's edition which can be used for up to two (2) ip addresses.

ColdFusion updates - cumulative?

I can not seem to find a definitive answer to this on Adobe sites. Working with ColdFusion 10,11 or even 2016, are the updates (hotfixes) cumulative?
For example, ColdFusion has hotfixes up to hotfix_023.jar. Does this jar include all previous hotfixes as well? Or if I want to have a fully patched CF 10 server do I need to install ALL of them?
I would have emailed tech support # Adobe, but CF10 is EOL so they won't answer any questions.
Thank you!
ColdFusion updates are cumulative.
For CF10, please make sure you apply the mandatory update before applying the latest patch.

Switching from Railo to Coldfusion 11

Our server currently is running Railo. I have search the net for a way to move the CFM pointers from Railo to Coldfusion 11. I find hundreds of CF to Railo but nothing back.
Before anyone asks why we are doing this, it's because of the limitations of Railo for what we need, i.e. CFPDF, CFPrint, etc.
The problem is when I turn off Railo, I cannot process .cfm files. I also need to change where the Coldfusion webroot is to our current webroot. I have it all setup in Apache but CF11 is not seeing it.
I am new to CF11 so please help. Thank you!
You guys asked for a little more information, here is my edit:
We are running on Linux, Debian. It's a web server that we will be deploying Digital PDF's with a limited amount of printing to it. I.E., Customer buys 5 copies, so we need to limit their copies to 5 prints. We know said customer could buy just 1 and photo copy it. However, the owner of the site wants to be able to allow this feature.
Thank you for all of the information. We have a new server running ColdFusion 11 and CFPDF is working really well.

dotcms community edition capability

I am working on developing a weksite using a Java based CMS and had a close look at dotCMS community edition.
The website will initially hold some 500-600 pages, with good seo integration, performance, search capability. The pages will have images but no videos.
I want to run the site with dotcms community edition for a year or so and then upgrade to a licensed edition.
Can anybody please suggest if dotcms community edition can help build & run the site covering my above requirements.
Any pointers in this regard is appreciated.
Unfortunately the community edition does not support integrated search (the licensed edition uses elastic search), so you'll have to add third party search. All the other requirements are not a problem. I've build many many sites with dotCMS and I have never had a problem with those aspects of the CMS.
To figure out what is in and what is out, check out this list: http://dotcms.com/explore/editions/
Agree with Koenpeters, when we have a CE site on dotCMS we use Google custom search that we use, and then we have a plugin that feeds GCS a feed of all pages to index for searching...

Forum module for Sitecore 7.*

I'm building a website which requires forum integration to a Sitecore build - I've checked on the Sitecore website and they suggest YetAnotherForum and Telligent Community Integration Module. Both of these modules tho only support up till 6.4.1 and 6.4 respectively - I'm using Sitecore 7.0.
Logged a ticket with Sitecore and they came back with the following:
We have no information about Forum modules that are compatible with Sitecore 7.1. I would recommend you to contact your regional office and check whether they could advise you something.
Any suggestions?
First of all Telligent supports Sitecore 7.
Reference link
I have been working with Sitecore and Telligent Community integration from quite time and from my experience i have this opinion.
For deep integration it is quite a lot of work and requires much knowledge of both the product and costs will be high for licensing & deployment. But i can assure you that Telligent will work in Sitecore newer version also. However with higher costs you will get more rich functionality, Facebook like Activity Stream, and Apart from Forums it also has Blogs, Wikis, Media Gallery.
Telligent supports two kind of integrations:
1. Side by Side Integration - In this Sitecore and Telligent both will be user facing.
2. Integration mode - In this user will be mostly in Sitecore.
Reference link
If you are Sitecore Partner you will get trial license of Telligent. For details check 'Social Starter Kit' on Sitecore SDN site. Also there is video on YouTube regarding Sitecore & Telligent Integration in Sitecore Virtual User Group community.
I have no experience on YAF module so can't suggest on that.
Did you try to install YAF integration module, https://marketplace.sitecore.net/en/Modules/YAF_integration.aspx, i think it would run on Sitecore 7, since this module mainly integrate YAF with Sitecore security, i don't see why it should not run on Sitecore 7.
The Telligent product was renamed, I suggest you take a look at http://www.zimbra.com/products/zimbra-community/sitecore-starter.html and contact them. I'm unaware of what version they're targeted at right now.

Glassfish, railo and coldbox - messed up links?

I am new to ColdFusion and ColdBox (and programming). I tried to setup ColdBox but some of the links in the sample applications are broken.
My configuration is a GlassFish v3 installation with the current Railo OSS. I access my site through Apache 2.2.14.
So instead of http://127.0.0.1:8080/railo/ I access my environment trough http://railo/.
In Railo I have a webroot mapping / to C:/webapps/myproject/.
I have copied the current ColdBox 3M4 to C:/webapps/myproject/coldbox. I can access the dashboard through http://railo/coldbox/dashboard/index.cfm and have access to all options.
My problems start the moment I try to open the sample gallery:
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
message
description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented
it from fulfilling this request.
exception
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\webapps\viss-dev\coldbox\samples
(Zugriff verweigert)
note The full stack traces of the exception and its root causes are
available in the GlassFish v3 logs.
GlassFish v3
OK, no problem, just enter the link directly: http://railo/coldbox/samples/index.cfm.
The site looks plain, who cares - BUT all local links look like this: http://127.0.0.1:8080/coldbox/samples/applications/helloworld/index.cfm (railo is replaced with 127.0.0.1:8080).
Looks like trouble. To make my confusion perfect: when I try to access the login app: http://railo/coldbox/samples/applications/sampleloginapp/index.cfm and hit the submit button, I am redirected to this address: http://railo/railo/coldbox/samples/applications/sampleloginapp/index.cfm.
I believe that this is not really ColdBox-related, but it manifests itself when I try to use ColdBox, so here I am.
P.S.: amazon.de takes too long to ship the ColdBox book :(
Here's a suggestion, The good people at Vivotech have developed a couple of different installers for both Windows/IIS7 and various flavours of Linux for both Railo and Open BlueDragon. The setup installs Tomcat, Railo/Open Blue Dragon and the necessary connectors to the web server. Here's the link: http://www.viviotech.net/company/installers.cfm
I think you'll find using the installers to be a lot easier than working through it yourself. If you want to go that route, Adobe and various bloggers have instructions on how to do it. Matt Woodward has a very good blog posting on it: see MattWoodward.com, He also has a presentation on this, you can see it here.

Since you are new to ColdFusion (and programming in general), I would recommend developing against Adobe ColdFusion. The Developer Edition of ColdFusion is free and available from Adobe.com. You won't need to mess around or configure GlassFish since Adobe ColdFusion comes with a baked-in pre-configured Tomcat, providing both servlet engine and web server.
Just install the 'Stand-alone' version of ColdFusion Developer Edition, copy the ColdBox files into the webroot and in less than 15 minutes you be up and running.
You should also check out ColdFusion Builder which is currently available in beta from http://labs.adobe.com. It has full language support and integrated help content for learning the ins-outs of the language.
As far as the ColdBox book goes, it's available as an eBook if you really can't wait. ;-)
DISCLAIMER: I spend about 50% of my waking life devoted to making ColdFusion better as the CF Product Manager at Adobe. :-)
i have given up on glassfish and i am now struggling with tomcat :D
