CF911: Help, How do I connect sites to a new instance w/ the ColdFusion 10/11 webserver config tool?
This one causes a lot of heartburn for folks: you add a new instance in CF10 or 11 (in editions other than Standard, which do support adding instances), and you find that you can't seem to have the web server configuration tool (wsconfig) connect sites to that new instance(s).

Free, simple code to find out what SQL statements are running slow in SQL Server right now
Often when people are trying to troubleshoot seeming problems in ColdFusion (or whatever app server you may use), they may wonder if (or have tools which suggest that) their CF requests are being held up waiting for a query to run in the database, which seems hung up.

This won't be new info for some, but many folks remain confused by the fact, that after Adobe release their current latest ColdFusion version, they no longer offer the previous versions(s) on their public-facing Adobe site.

CF911: High CPU in ColdFusion? Some common but perhaps unexpected causes
I often help people who are reporting that CF is "running hot on the CPU", maybe reaching 80 or even 100% of the CPU, whether in spikes or for extended periods.

CF911: Why/when you MUST update the web server connector for ColdFusion 10/11 and may have missed it
Have you installed or updated CF10 (or 11) and found that you still have problems with it running right, even when you have "fully updated" CF10? In this blog entry, I explain how it may NOT be that "CF 10 is broken" but rather that you may have missed an important step when updating it.
