This is more of a quick reminder for myself.  Hopefully someone else will find it useful as well… If you have multiple instances of ColdFusion running on a server and one of those starts to runaway with the processor you just need to kill it and move on, right?  But, what if you what to know which instance it was?  If … Read more

Increase IIS Worker threads for Coldfusion 9.01

by

While using IIS6 for ColdFusion 9 (or ColdFusion 9.0.1), owing to heavy load, if you encounter performance issues, you may increase the number of worker threads.

by

I’ve been pulling my hair out for a few days looking for the Coldfusion CFX tag for PayFlow Pro. I’m moving/upgrading a customer’s webstore and the old cfx tag would not work on the new server’s CF installation. So I had to get a more current tag. Only, PayPal no longer supplies the Coldfusion SDK and they don not have … Read more
