Someone left a comment after my last cry for help about installing CF8 + apache on Mac, so I thought I'd quickly run through the steps I took. Assuming you're on the latest version of OSX, you *could* use the inbuilt Apache server. However, I've used MAMP, which is essentially a bundled version of Apache, MySQL, PHP. 1) Uninstall CF8 - If you've got it installed already (it's just going to …

Ok, some help needed here: I have a brand new Mac Pro at work; Running the latest and greatest version of OSX with all the security updates etc. So I need to install CF locally, and have already installed MAMP.
MAMP I got working with no problems, and running on the default ports for MySQL + Apache. Installed CF8, 64bit edition, and when installing, did the single server instance. I can't …

I was initially skeptical about Ning - whose claims of being able to create your own social network without programming knowledge seemed a bit optimistic. I take it all back. I finally got around to creating a network for a project which I was consulting on, and I'm really impressed. I think I got the whole thing up and running in about 6 minutes. Obviously, that's without much in the way of …

Ray's post on ColdFusion Certifications is pretty spot on: The one problem, on top of those outlined by Ray, that I've had over the years, is that very few certification courses have a decent break down on what exactly they expect you know. Combined with the fact that there are so many features in CF which I'll never need to touch, like exchange integration etc (well, not yet at least) that I …

Pleasingly, a customtag library I've been using has had an update: Uni-Form XHTML Forms See here
I hate styling forms. This really has made my life easier (and when you write your own CMS systems as I do, there's a *lot* of forms)...

I've spent *days* trying to figure this out - whilst installing Flexbuilder 3, I'd get continual errors on install, and when trying to run the .exe, I'd get:
java.lang.RuntimeException: No application id has been found and
com.adobe.flexbuilder.standalone.product could not be found. in the log. But a solution has been found!
The problem was that I'm on a domain machine. When you install …

It's bugged me for ages that Photoshop doesn't have native support for ICO files.
Thankfully, there's a free plugin which will let you save as a .ico. See here - http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/

I've been playing with Drupal recently - although I'm primarily a ColdFusion programmer, I find it very interesting to look at other Content Management Systems in other languages. Overall, Drupal is excellent. There are some really well thought out parts. Drupal relies on a set of "core" modules, which in themselves offer a ton of functionality - almost enough for most sites. Almost. The catch …
