05.27.08GoodiesThe ACME Guide Written by Stephen Collins and downloaded over 2000 times since March 2006, The ACME Guide (.pdf, ~7.5Mb) 3rd Edition is a valuable resource for ColdFusion developers of all levels. It provides detailed instructions on how to prepare a PC or Mac workstation for development using ColdFusion and several Open Source tools including the Apache HTTP Server, MySQL and Eclipse. Reaching the Peak Presented at webDU 2006, this session covers development using the ACME toolset. You can view the paper from that session here (.pdf, ~1Mb).

02.24.07HOWTO - Multiple ColdFusion instances on Intel MacMatt Woodward's recent HOWTO on setting up your Intel Mac Development Environment and Mark Andrachek's CFMX on Intel Macs - The Definitive Guide are valuable resources for the growing number of Intel Mac-based ColdFusion developers. If you are a part of this group, they should definitely be among your required reading. One thing I recommend you do in The ACME Guide is use the JRun Multiserver configuration to allow multiple instances of ColdFusion. This is particularly useful for a number of reasons: it allows you to have several differently configured servers (good if you have different clients with different server ...

01.31.07CF on Mac Intel with Apache 2I've finally set up CF on my MacBook Pro using the Definitive Guide from Mark Andrachek. It all works brilliantly. Now, like any good geek, I've begun thinking that this must be able to be done with Apache 2.x. The most recent release available is 2.0.52 from ServerLogistics, which is the one I use in The ACME Guide. Apache has moved along since then, and it's now at 2.2.4. Nobody seems to have built a binary. My thinking is that one of the AMP stacks, say MAMP or XAMPP would be the ideal platform to work - easy ...

10.17.06mod_rewrite help neededAnyone out there speak mod_rewrite? I have a bunch of subdomains I want to redirect on arrival, all with the same patterns. So, for example, trac.acidlabs.org would get redirected to www.acidlabs.org/trac. Simple. Easy. I'm sure, but I don't speak fluent mod_rewrite. Anyone?

08.05.06ColdFusion MX 7.0.2, XAMPP for OS X and something…UPDATE - Hmmm... Reboot, make sure everything is in the right place with the right settings and voila! It all works. One should try to solve one's problems before panicking publically. I got my PowerBook back from repair yesterday, and I decided to play around with XAMPP for OS X, and the new ColdFusion 7.0.2 release. And now, I've struck a problem - I can't even get to the CF Administrator. I installed a clean CF after getting XAMPP up and running. I made sure that the Java runtime I'm pointing to is for 1.4.2 and not ...
