Resources for upgrading ColdFusion 6, 7 or 8 to 9

By Wasay
ColdFusion version 9 seems robust and cool from what it can perform as well as lot of security features are address in it, but interestingly not much resources are available for upgrade from ColdFusion v6 to v9. It seems like the underlying framework has changed significantly and that, the only option to upgrade from v6 is to upgrade to v8 and then to v9.

I am not sure if I want to play around upgrading from v6 to v8 and then to v9, may be I will just install a clean v9 after uninstalling v6. The problem though will be a guessing game of which pages have broken down and which are fine.

For upgrade related research, below are some of the links I looked into for details.

If you are upgrading similarly, hope it will be as smooth upgrade for you.
Best of luck.

Completed UiPath - RPA Developer Advance Training

By Wasay
After a month of training, with late nights and weekends I have completed the UiPath RPA Developer Advance Training. The Level 1 Foundation Training pretty much covered all the basics of Desktop studio and workflows, only draw back was I started with the default foundation course which was for 2016, and all document reference links where pointing to 2016 version. I didn't understand it during the foundation training and kept switching to 2018 version document/page. Only after completing the Foundation course that I realized, I was suppose to have started with the 2018 version of Level 1 Foundation Training, but as it was optional I didn't have to retake the 2018 version, the 2016 was good enough for moving to level 2. The Level 2 Orchestrator 2018.3 Training as good. It gave good understanding of Queue's, Jobs, and schedules and I was able to complete the level two much faster then the level 1. The Level 3 UiPath Advanced Training was bit tough as it involved the a

KB 294807 - IIS Server - PHP FastCGI 500 Error 0xfffffffe

By Wasay
Resolved issue today of IIS Server - PHP FastCGI 500 Error 0xfffffffe by deleting "Windows Temp" folder files. We used Cygwin to customize some permissions of "Windows Temp" folder and after few hours the website stopped working. The search online was giving all kinds of different solution except what I was looking for. I was hoping the stackoverflow will have answers but even this post didn't cover the issue I was running into. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15302080/fastcgi-500-failure Restarting the IIS didn't work, but deleting temp files cleared the issue, but now the problem is how long before the site will go down again? Hope the issue is resolved for ever, if not; I will update this post later.
