Before leaving for work this morning I pulled up our blog on my iPhone only to discover it was down. I host this blog with a provider that allows me to control almost 100% of what goes on with the server. Unfortunately, this also means I have to play system administrator for all things Linux as well as ColdFusion (the server and software used to host the blog).

The downtime from this morning came about when the server our blog runs on restarted but ColdFusion did not. I've manually restarted ColdFusion and things are back up and running. I caught the issue quick and we experienced only 3 hours and 40 minutes of downtime. I need to figure out how to get ColdFusion to automatically restart when the server restarts as that will keep this problem from occurring again.

Anyhow, everything is back up and running so enjoy!
