Error Cannot Create Cookie Path Coldfusion
eye on the log files in the /runtime/logs/ directory. There's some good information in there if you care to poke around. You might notice one item that appears in the *.events.log from time to time - usually in a long list of similar errors. It looks something like: 04/04 07:42:39 error Cannot create cookie: path = /04/04 07:42:40 error Cannot create cookie: expires = Sun, 28-Mar-2038 12:42:01 GMT This annoying error has been popping up for years and I have never had a satisfactory explanation for it... until now! Genuine ColdFusion Guru Jochem van Dieten (Europe's answer to Ben Forta) figured out that this comes from cookie requests sent from client to server that are using reserved words like "expires" and "path" in the cookie name. Who knew? Check out his latest blog entry for a thorough explanation. Comments (4) | Print | del.icio.us | Digg It! Comments [Add Comment] [Subscribe to Comments] Good explanation. I hope someone comes up with a solution, but I really don't see a way. I'll bet this error gets logged even before one line of CF code gets executed.I have logs with thousands of these lines in them, I'd love to find a way to make them go away. As Jochem mentioned in a comment on his post, there is no reason why those cookie names should be reserved in CF. Maybe Adobe will address this in a coming updater. # Posted By Ryan | 7/3/08 2:13 PM @ryan,couldn't you do some kind of ISAPI or Apache filter that would rewrite them? Maybe you wouldn't want that sort of filter because it would cause unexpected results. I think the best solution would be just don't log them. -mk # Posted By mark kruger | 7/3/08 2:17 PM I know you can rewrite the *URL* with mod_rewrite and ISAPI rewrite, but I don't know if you can modify the other headers associated with the request. If you can, that would be a great idea. # Posted By Ryan | 7/3/08 2:25 PM There is an Apache module for rewriting headers, but I have not tried it. I have researched this though and blogged a working solution if you are willing to get your hands a little dirty in Java:http://w
ColdFusion Cookies With CFCookie vs. Cookie Scope By Ben Nadel on May 3, 2010 Tags: ColdFusion Yesterday, as I was working on my Scotch On The Rocks (SOTR) ColdFusion Framework presentation, I discovered a huge error in my understanding of the way in which cookies can be set in ColdFusion. For years, I thought the difference between the CFCookie tag and the Cookie scope was that only the CFCookie tag caused the given cookie to be sent to the client where as the cookie scope was just a regular struct. Meaning, you could use the cookie scope to store arbitrary values; but, http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2008/7/3/cannot-create-cookie-log-error if you wanted to send cookies to the client, you needed to do so with the CFCookie tag.I don't know when or how I formulated this belief but, as I found out yesterday, it happens to be completely wrong. As it turns out, both the CFCookie tag and the Cookie scope send cookies to the client. The only real difference between them is that CFCookie gives you more control over https://www.bennadel.com/blog/1913-setting-coldfusion-cookies-with-cfcookie-vs-cookie-scope.htm how the cookies are sent to the client. When you use the Cookie scope directly to set a cookie, it creates a session cookie (which expires when the browser is closed) for the current domain. CFCookie, on the other hand, gives you the ability to control all aspects of the cookie including its domain, pathing, and secure page usage.To demonstrate this, I set up this snippet of code:
for a ColdFusion privilege escalation issue. The issue described in Security Bulletin APSB08-21 is only applicable to your ColdFusion installation if you are using Sandbox Security. If you have configured a Sandbox http://jochem.vandieten.net/category/coldfusion/page/3/ to limit access to specific parts of the filesystem it may be possible to access information outside the Sandbox. This issue is particularly important for shared hosting servers because they are the most http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2014/4/10/CF_Admin_error_about_error_accessing_this_page likely to have Sandbox Security enabled. There are patches available for ColdFusion 7.0.2, 8.0.0 and 8.0.1. At Prisma IT we have been testing the patch for ColdFusion 8.0.1 for a while now and error cannot we have not found any side effects from applying it to our shared hosting servers. If you are a ColdFusion user and this blog post is the first you read about this issue you really should subscribe to the Adobe Security Notification Service. You will get emails for all the important security updates from Adobe and it is an invaluable tool to staying on top error cannot create of security.

Configuring ColdFusion to use a FQDN in the cfmail EHLO By default ColdFusion will use the computer name without the domain name appended when sending email. However, some mail servers require that senders use a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in their EHLO. If that is the case, you may get errors in your mail.log that look something like this: Sep 18 17:22:11 mail postfix/smtpd[55543]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from prlt004[145.94.255.255]: 504 5.5.2 mail3.prisma-it.com: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname; from=
: Charlie Arehart Related Categories: admin, cf911, cf10, railo, troubleshooting Here's a real CF911 challenge (and solution): You may find that when using the CF Admin, especially in CF10 but it can happen in CF 9 or 8 depending on security hotfixes applied, when performing certain Admin operations (like making a change, or verifying datasources, or checking for server updates) you get an error: "There was an error accessing this page. Check logs for more details." And your operation fails. You're then prompted to "Click here to login", but even if you back up or client another link, you'll be prompted with the CF Admin login. What gives? Why is it happening? And how can you fix things? Is CF broken? No, not in the sense that you need to reinstall or anything. The good news is that there is a quite simple solution. Well, there are several, depending on your goals. The simple solution: delete the duplicate cfid/cftoken or jsessionid cookies that you will find your browser is sending to CF. But there is much more to this, as well as other solutions, which would be worth most readers taking a few minutes to read on here. BTW, the same root problem can be the cause of your own application's users finding that they can't stay logged in. More on that in a moment. What is happening? First, let's note that the problem doesn't happen when you login to the Admin, nor even when you click around visiting different pages in the Admin. It happens when you click on features that involve a form submission, such as when you make pretty much any change, or when you click buttons like "verify all connections" in the Datasources page, or click the "check for updates" button on the Server Updates page. All these cause CF to do some processing that's different from just visiting a page. (I suspect it's an issue with CFLOGIN, but I'm just guessing.) Second, let's point out that the problem of the CF Admin getting that error above need not be as mysterious and irreconcilable as some make it out to be. There actually is more information in the logs, if you just go looking for it, either the application.log or the coldfusion-out.log (if using Windows, or it may be the cfserver.log on *nix, or the console log if launching CF from the command line or CF Builder). In the coldfusion-out.log, you will find that this error appears at the time of the error: "Apr 9, 2014 22:36:55 PM Warning [catalina-exec-7] - There was an error while verifying the token. Either the session timed out or un-authenticated access is suspected." And in the application.log, this one appears: "Infor
