My first project at my new job is to create usage reports for our product. I started building a UI with HTML, Jquery and ColdFusion, but I soon realized that we were going to need a more fluid interface to the data.

Now that our ACME stack has been installed, let's setup some isolated development areas. To do this, we need to create one or more Virtual Hosts in Apache and setup some local domains.

We're in the final stretch. We've got Apache, ColdFusion and MySQL up and running. Now we need a way to write some actual ColdFusion code in Linux. For that, we need the Eclipse IDE and a few plug-ins, primarily CFEclipse.

We've got [A]pache and [C]oldFusion installed so far. In part three, we're installing 64-bit [M]ySQL.

I've got a Dell that shipped with Vista. I installed Ubuntu 8.04 on a 2nd hard drive and had it install Grub so I could boot between the two. After playing games on Vista, I rebooted to do some work in Ubuntu. The machine wouldn't boot due to Grub error 17, but after doing something stupid it booted just fine.

Since ColdFusion 6, it's been possible to run on 64-bit systems with 64-bit JVMs, just not officially. (If you're nice, I'll post how later.) 64-bit support was officially introduced for ColdFusion with version 8, but only for Solaris SPARC. As of the 8.0.1 release, Adobe gave us offical support for 64-bit on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

I've done this countless times, yet I can never seem to remember how I did it the next time I need the code. This is so I don't have to hit up Google next time.

I've always appreciated the effort that Stephen Collins put into creating The ACME Guide, which takes you through the steps of setting up a local ColdFusion development environment. This is my walk through of setting up the latest and greatest ACME stack under 64-bit Ubuntu 8.04.

I'm 2 weeks into my new job and I just started working on a project that requires Ajax. After using CFAjax for so long, I figured I'd give AjaxCFC a go. I've heard nothing but good things about it, but I've been bashing my head against the wall for a while with this error. Took me forever to find the real cause.

I know there are a lot of tutorials that use this technique. I also know there's a lot of inherited code (in any language) that contains this SQL. I also also know that - years ago - I too was a slave to SELECT MAX(id). But this is the 21st century and you need to stop using it.
