- A chart does not output when numerical values with 'px' are used for height and width.
- Unexpected results for MIME type text/plain, including variants with special characters and null values, and an exception, coldfusion.runtime.MissingArgumentException appears for text/html and text/xml MIME types.
- After installing the server lockdown tool, few residue folders (such as jre, uninstall, Logs) are left behind. Delete the folders manually.
- ColdFusion fails to configure the built-in Apache Connector on macOS M1. When Apache restarts, the error displays- "[pid 24635] AH06665: No code signing authority for module at /private/etc/apache2/mod_jk.so specified in LoadModule directive." As a workaround, Install the latest version of Apache externally, rather than using the built-in one.
- Attempting to deploy a WAR package created from JEE archives throws exceptions.
