So I’ve been playing with Google App Engines, and decided to create two projects in favour of our beloved ColdFusion.
I know there’s tons of that stuff around the web, but I wanted to make one that would actually help people from all levels. I’ll put their URL’s here first, so you can cease your curiosity, and then I’ll explain more as we go.

Following Andy Allan’s comment on my previous post, I decided to write a new post and make some things clear here.
In fact, I didn’t realize that creating the new instance as a Windows Service through ColdFusion Administrator would cause so much trouble as it does. Basically, if you do check “Create Windows Service“,
your new instnace will automatically be created as a Windows Service.
It’s not too bad, as you would normally want your new ColdFusion
instance to start-up with your server.

I just had to write this guide at work, and thought it could be useful to somebody else.
Basically at work, we have ColdFusion 8 installed on each developer’s computer, and in order to have everything separated, we have one ColdFusion instance per project, so we can save on resources, and can fine tune each of the instances according to the application needs.
There’s a few ways to accomplis this task, but lately I found that the easiest way if to use ColdFusion Admin itself, and let it do all the work for you. here’s how I do it, assuming you have ColdFusion 8 multi-server configuration already installed:

I have seen people asking this question more than two times now, so I decided it’s about time I write a blog post about it. In ColdFusion it was really easy to solve this problem, as CFIDE is a physical folder, so you could simply move it away from the webroot, and it wouldn’t be accessible to the entire world.
On Railo it’s a bit trickier, as the admin and server folders
are virtual directories, hence you can’t simply “move it away”.
Obviously it’s password protected, so people won’t simply have access
to it and screw up with your configuration, but a more will powered
person could easily brute force into it.
I have to reinforce here that a really will powered lad would
probably break into anything, or even log into your server and make it
a real mess. It’s always good to have this false security sensation
though, so I’ll post here how I do my own security.

Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes As the interest for the CFML language has been growing a lot in the last few months due to its open source engine just being released, I decided to start this series of CFML posts for beginners. I intend to cover CFML development from scratch here, and also give [...]
