Unfortunately we’re still using ColdFusion on Linux at work – and 4.5.1 at that! Yeah, pretty old, but we’re still trying to migrate to all Java and don’t see the need for ColdFusion MX. (The next version of CFMX with FlashPaper support looks cool, though. BTW, CF5’s Linux MS-SQL driver sucked with Stored Procs when I tested it ages ago, hence 4.5.1 is still in use.) Anyway, we’ve got new boxes and I didn’t want to revert back to old versions of RedHat or Apache and CF 4.5.1 isn’t supported directly on the newer versions… so what to do… of course Google pointed the direction:
- C compatibility libs as posted about here
- mod_coldfusion for Apache2 Thanks Andrew! (CF5 and CF4.5.1 modules are compatible)
I haven’t load tested things yet, but so far, so good.
Congratulations on the new job!
Hey everyone! Jen’s got a new job! She’ll be counseling kids 6-14 and some families and stuff. She’ll squeeze in her third sign language class and continue work on her dissertation too! She’s quite talented along with being a wonderful person – did I mention I’m a lucky guy? 
Kerry conceded so I guess we’re in for 4 more years of Bush. I’m not sure what will happen. I’m not happy with the war in Iraq, not to mention some of the problems here at home. (By the way, you can be against the war and still support our troops! That arguement is totally lame!)
I just hope people see how close things turned out and take that into consideration – two presidential elections back to back that are so close has to say something! I hope Bush counts his blessings and sees that the nation isn’t 100% happy with him – and is barely 50% happy. If he is cocky at all, I’ll blow a gasket! I hope whatever happens, we can unite and come back together as a nation – this partisan stuff is getting ugly and is hurting the county big time. It’s interesting… The events of September 11, 2001 originally united the U.S. and now it’s tearing us apart. One of the main things I hate about the Bush presidency is that it claims we are safer now, but they continue to spread fear. I WILL NOT LIVE IN FEAR.
Hey everyone… Get out and vote tomorrow! Better yet, vote for Kerry!
