By default, IIS7 limits file upload to 30MB. The docs from Microsoft are a little confusing on this, so I thought I would try to clarify.

I gave a presentation today at the Central New York CFUG about upgrading to ColdFusion 8. I'm afraid I may have scared some people away from updating, but that was not my intent! I simply wanted to prepare them for things they MIGHT run into. Most of the installs I have done have gone smoothly, and the problems are generally easy to figure out with a little research. The benefits of CF8 far outweigh running into a glitch or two during an upgrade.

If you run load-balanced ColdFusion servers, it can often to difficult to determine which server a notification or error message originated from. There's a nice little Java trick to get around this.

#Createobject('java','java.net.InetAddress').getLocalHost().getHostName()#

We add this line to error notifications on our site so that we always know which physical machine the message came from. This makes it a little easier to diagnose a problem, determine if it is limited to one server, and know which log files to look at.
This is also great if your site is responding a bit slow and you want to know which server in the setup you are hitting from your machine. We set up a small script called whereami.cfm that simply displays the machine name.
