I got tired of the old design and it was a bit of a pain to maintain so I set about redesigning a new theme. Design isn’t really my thing but I’m pleased with the way that it has turned out.

I’ve tried to keep everything CSS and XHTML valid but the blog has issues with IE versions less than version 6. I will at some point address this.

I’ll be adding and tweaking various bits and pieces over the coming weeks. And if anyone knows why this happens:

on the last post in IE 6, please let me know.

A small problem I just experienced when installing ColdFusion 8 on my mac and choosing to integrate it with the Apache install that ships with OS X.

ColdFusion would not serve any requests and reported:

JRun will not accept request. Check JRun web server configuration and JRun mappings on JRun server

A closer look at the Apache error log revealed:

could not open serverstore /Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/jrunserver.store

It turns out that there was no jrunserver.store file. The simple solution is to create the file and add:

proxyservers=127.0.0.1:51011

I’ve made the jump from Linux to Windows hosting and in doing so have upgraded from CF7 to CF8. As ever, faultless service from hostmysite support had everything up and running very quickly.

I’ve noticed a few weird things happening, random null pointer exceptions and some other issues. It’s probably time I started using the latest and greatest version of BlogCFC, which I plan to do soon. More on that next month….
