It was about time I started to eat my own dog food, so I have completed the migration from Wordpress to ContentBox today and with that a new inspiration to write more.  So expect a lot more content coming your way now that I have ContentBox up and running.  Also, thanks to this migration we have updated the Wordpress importer of ContentBox and it will be available by next week.

I got into a weird error connecting CF Builder 2.01 to CF10 RDS to get some nice DB interactions going.  I was constantly getting the error:

could not initialise class com.adobe.rds.core.services.Messages

Both in the logs and as a nasty error popup.  This is reproducible using virtual hosts with Apache, I did not experience this on the standalone CF10 at all.  In Apache I have the CF10 connector installed globally, so I would assume it worked for ALL virtual hosts.  However, for some reason the above error is due to a connector issue.  To fix this, and I have no CLUE as to why it fixes it, but it does. Is to add the following to your virtual host configuration file:

JkMountFile "/Applications/ColdFusion10/config/wsconfig/1/uriworkermap.properties"

This will fix the issue, so go back to builder and click on the refresh server and voila! Issue is gone!  Can someone explain me why?

I am very happy to announce that I will be speaking at another ColdBox Developer Week coming to a desktop, mobile, ipad, Android, etc near you!  The ColdBox and ContentBox teams and several community members join forces each year to bring you a weekly FREE training online extravaganza.  I am excited to be presenting on several topics not only about ColdBox but also about ContentBox,the modular CMS solution for CFML, this year as our *BOX products are growing.
