Increase IIS File Upload Limits
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...]
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.

Change your max file upload size in WordPress
Everybody may already know how to do this but, I didn't and it was driving me crazy. And, since I will have to make this change again sometime, I'm posting it here. Ever since I switched over to Wordpress, I've been stuck with a two (2) meg file upload limit. I thought this was a bit crazy because I self host this site and have full control over every aspect of the server. Since I don't give myself any limits anywhere else (I'm such a good host) I didn't like having one here either. Or … [Read more...]
Create a Shortcut to open in your Alternate Browser
Here's a quick and simple "How To" for you. I had this question posed by a client the other day and it made me think. This Client is a fan of FireFox. It is his default browser and tries his best to NEVER use Internet Explorer. But, as is the case with most things, the more you try to keep from using something that's right when you find out you have to. This was the case here. He had a vendor's website that would only work in IE AND he needed to use this website alot so, he had a … [Read more...]
Warranty Schmarranty
Here's an interesting read about Apple's wonderful customer service. Note my sarcasm? :-) Anyway, here's a short clip of the article. The Apple Retail Store Hates You - I recently visited the Apple store to exchange a defective power adapter which was still under warranty. I still have the defective adapter, as it has now cost more time and effort than it was originally worth. What I have lost is time, money, and trust in the ethics of the retail store. What I have gained is … [Read more...]
