Alright Adobe... Time to step up to the plate. Mozilla is putting their full support behind Firebug and creating a new team. Shouldn't Adobe do the same with CFEclipse? It's obvious that Homesite+ and Studio are gasping for air and Dreamweaver sure doesn't fill the gap. Come on Adobe. Help Mark Drew out!

I've been following all the OpenBD trash talk/gossip and I certainly have my own personal views of New Atlanta, but this is getting to be like a bad soap opera with a bunch of old ladies getting their knitting bags in a twist.

I had previously posted about my trials of installing BlogCFC on Bluedragon 6.2.1.

Since then I have upgraded to Bluedragon 7, but hadn't gotten around to testing the unmodified BlogCFC with it.

So tonight, I finally tested the vanilla installation of BlogCFC v5.6.002 and it works perfectly including Captcha.

Case closed...

I have a CentOS VPS at Viviotech, which is running Bluedragon 7. This is really for my personal web sites and not really a money making proposition! I haven't been overly excited about Bluedragon and started looking around for alternatives. I'm also planning a site that could potentially be high traffic, so performance is also on my mind. All the current buzz is about ColdFusion8, which is great, as there are some neat new features, but I wanted to keep an open mind. (I'm sure I'll lobby for CF8 heavily at my day job when it is finally released though!). To think that I'm still using CF5! Jeepers. I saw a post by Sean Corefield about Railo and decided to take a look.

I left off with graphic manipulation working on CentOS and Bluedragon. At this point Lyla Captcha should be able to create an image, but it doesn't... Bummer. Keep in mind that part 2 is specific to Bluedragon 6.2. Hopefully it will work in BD7.

I use a CentOS VPS at Viviotech and while not a Linux nut, I manage to install a few things, keep my email working and the occasional web site running. I decided to install BlogCFC, but it bombs out while loading. I'm running Bluedragon 6.2.1, which has trouble with LylaCaptcha (actually any graphic manipulation). The BlogCFC documentation states to disable Captcha, but that didn't make me happy... Leaving the door wide open to spammers didn't make sense.
