Making the world a better place with ColdFusion, Web Startup, and Software
Once you’re past why someone would develop a new program in ColdFusion, you find a rich community of developers, examples, libraries and frameworks.
I’ve been playing around with the ColdBox Framework for ColdFusion for a few months.
What lead me to ColdBox was a period of discovering and playing around with the discoveries I made with ColdFusion 9 and it’s killer Hibernate ORM integration.
I could no longer program, ever again until ColdFusion 9 came out.. it made for a slower fall on new projects. I decided to dust off the old exploration cap and started looking at what was new and developing in the ColdFusion world.
Today I dealt with a strange issue on one of my client’s servers. It was running ColdFusion 8 Standard, inside a Windows 2003 Server VMware virtual machine.
The first time ColdFusion Server was installed, it crashed/timed out. So we rebooted and uninstalled it. We reinstalled and everything looked okay. When we went into the Coldfusion Administrator and tried to create a new collection, we were presented with an error telling us that the search services are not installed.
