I recently ran into an issue where IIS was returning a 404.13 error when users were trying to upload files. I did a bit of looking and found that files uploaded fine when they were lower than 30MB. But once we tried to upload anything larger, IIS would return the 404. With a bit of digging we found that there is a maxAllowedContentLength setting in IIS 7.5. Who knew? Well, I guess I should have. In IIS 7.5, the default limit for this setting is 28.6 MB. At any rate, here is how you can … [Read more...]

Which CF Instance and jvm config am I using?
This is more of a quick reminder for myself. Hopefully someone else will find it useful as well... If you have multiple instances of ColdFusion running on a server and one of those starts to runaway with the processor you just need to kill it and move on, right? But, what if you what to know which instance it was? If you don't have something like FusionReactor watching your CF Instances then a quick way to determine which instance is the trouble maker is to see the config file being used … [Read more...]
On break at a recording session…
I was at a recording session a couple of weeks ago and on break, another musician proposed a riddle to me that has been driving me crazy.... I've been thinking it through and have yet to come up with an answer. I'm sure the answer is out there, but I am resiting the urge to "use the Google". I've repeated it to several people and get the same response each time, "Wow, that sounds familiar. I think I've heard that one before." However no one has been able to give a decent answer. Here it … [Read more...]
Increase IIS Worker threads for Coldfusion 9.01
While using IIS6 for ColdFusion 9 (or ColdFusion 9.0.1), owing to heavy load, if you encounter performance issues, you may increase the number of worker threads. Go to the directory cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1. Note: In multiserver scenarios, the location is jrun_root/lib/wsconfig/1. 1 indicates a single IIS website. If you have configured multiple IIS websites, the number can change accordingly. Open the file jrun_iis6_wildcard.ini (jrun_iis7_wildcard.ini if you use IIS 7). … [Read more...]
A few pics from the Road
My last gig with the Symphony of The Mountains was a doosie! We were quite busy! Three outdoor Concerts, in three days, in three states! Although it required quite a bit of driving, it was still pretty fun. The concert was long and made more difficult by the fact that each outdoor venue was majorly different. It was worth it none the less. I was able to get some work done for my day job. You remember, slaving away for the man?! But, I was also able to get some time to take a few … [Read more...]
Windows 8 wireless Management
Back when I was setting up my Surface pro, I was trying to quickly move some of my wireless connections to the tablet. There aren't a lot of them but since I didn't remember their passwords, why not just export them or at least view them from my laptop and copy the settings? Well, the laptop that I was going to take the settings from is Windows 8 also so I thought, this should be super easy, there are some handy ways to do this in windows 7. Since this is windows 8, those should have been … [Read more...]
