Configuring ColdFusion to use a FQDN in the cfmail EHLO

Friday, September 19th, 2008

By default ColdFusion will use the computer name without the domain name appended when sending email. However, some mail servers require that senders use a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in their EHLO. If that is the case, you may get errors in your mail.log that look something like this: Sep ...

Running multiple versions of LiveCycle ES simultaneously

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

So yesterday I wrote about installing 2 versions of LiveCycle ES, but with the limitation that you can't run them simultaneously. I didn't really intend to try to run them simultaneously because I thought it would be a lot of work, but it did feel unfinished and that kept nagging. ...

Installing multiple versions of LiveCycle ES

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Sometimes I need multiple versions of LiveCycle ES for JBoss installed, for instance a version 8.2 for delivering a training and a version 8.0 for a consultancy project.

Since it was ...

Don’t upgrade, rebuild!

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Over the past months we have nearly completed a consolidation from two datacenter locations to one datacenter location. We had moved our dedicated servers to one location a while ago and two weeks ago we finally moved the last shared hosting to new hardware. And part of that last batch ...

Tuning your ColdFusion logging

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

In the ColdFusion Administrator you can configure the logging behaviour to some extend. Where the ColdFusion logfiles are written, whether to log all email messages, long running pages etc. But you can not change the columns or masks for date formatting there, which is unfortunate because the native date mask ...

Google Chrome is interesting

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Today Google released a first Beta of Google Chrome, a new web browser.  Just installing it already showed how Google Chrome is different from other browsers. Since I am always logged on on my laptop as a normal user I right-clicked the installer and choose the "Run as" option and installed ...
