Removing Corrupt Connector Dependencies from IIS

Configuring Data Sources using Admin API in ColdFusion

Today, APIs are widely used and are very popular in the developer community. APIs make work easier, as developers can perform difficult task programmatically and automate repeatable routines.

In ColdFusion, there are Admin APIs available through which developers can add, modify, and delete Admin task programmatically. This is helpful for developers who do not have access to ColdFusion Administrator, for example, component event gateway, data sources, mail, and so on.

Understanding various types of memory and tuning in ColdFusion

Memory management is the process of recognizing, when allocated objects are no longer needed, deallocating (freeing) the memory used by such objects, and making it available for subsequent allocations. Since ColdFusion is an application server, ColdFusion requires memory management for effective performance improvement.

Configuring connectors with Apache Virtual Hosts in ColdFusion (2016 release)

ColdFusion (2016 release) has a webserver configuration tool for creating connectors with external web servers. These connectors work with Apache and IIS webservers. You can create one single connector (ALL) to run with all your websites or create individual connectors (ALL-Individually) for each website. We have seen scenarios, where users use “Virtual Host” to run multiple websites on a single server, in Apache.

In this blog, we will see, how to configure ColdFusion connector to work with multiple Virtual hosts in Apache and map the virtual hosts with individual instance of ColdFusion.

RIA-Fiasco Resolved

Many of you are wondering what happened to RIA Forge, and what the plans are to ensure that content is available to the community.

We're sorry for the lapse that has happened, and we're still working to fix it.  Unfortunately it will still take a couple of weeks more for this process because of the way things happened with the domain.  However, we do plan on migrating the content to an alternate site soon so we'll update as that comes online.

Additionally, future plans are to make the content available on GitHub.  Some of the content is already there, but this will take some time as we contact authors and have the content migrated. 

*** Update, riaforge.org is back up and running now ***

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.  We're still planning on transfering the content to GitHub soon.  

Also, a big thank you to Charlie Arehart for your help behind the scenes!
