  Introduction The mobile app posts JSON to the ColdFusion REST endpoint. The endpoint returns “500 Internal Server Error” with no body, no useful header information, and no error message that helps diagnose the problem. The frontend developer asks the backend developer for help. The backend developer checks the ColdFusion error log — nothing recent. The exception log — empty. The Application.cfc onError handler — never fired. The endpoint works in Postman with the right request body. It fails with a 500 when the mobile app sends what looks like an identical request. The cause is invisible from every diagnostic angle except one — and that one is buried in a stack trace nobody thought to check. Read More

  Introduction Docker containers offer wonderful portability and consistency. ColdFusion runs beautifully inside these containers. However, a restarting loop frustrates developers quickly. The container starts, runs briefly, then stops. Docker Engine immediately restarts it again. This cycle repeats endlessly. It consumes resources and halts progress. Do not despair. This problem has logical, identifiable causes. This guide provides a systematic diagnostic approach. You will learn to inspect logs and analyze configurations. We will explore memory limits and health checks. Your container will achieve stable, continuous uptime. Let’s dive into container forensics together. Read More
