Ok for all of those following this thread, we resolved our hanging instance problem! It was an Efflare imageCR3 service (an image tag alternative to cfimage), that was getting hung. As a result, it caused any pages that called the tag to hang. Restarting that service solved the problem.

I have a problem with a non-CF-related out-of-control service on one of my servers. I purchased a product called ProcessLasso (cost about $150 IIRC). It allows you to assign thresholds for CPU utilization that will automatically kill rogue processes or restart them. Might be worth

have you checked the currently running requests and performed stack traces to see what is happening when the instances are hung ? one common cause for such behaviour is connections to external resources failing or timing out such as databases. -- Russ Michaels www.bluethunderinternet.com  :

I have run into similar situation long time back and I have 2 solutions for you. In my case this was due to memory leakage. The memory was used up completely in 2-3 days and required server restarts. 1. Use Java Garbage Collection Modify the JVM.CONFIG file and and append the following line to

Yes, we use Fusion Reactor and can view the vitals including which threads are hung (essentially all threads). Other vitals don't point to anything suspect. However today, we had a different problem. Only one instance hung and it was a CPU problem. The entire server memory was being used by

The BIG question here is that while the CPU(s) were maxed - was there a long running thread at the same time? If so, look into what the thread was doing. If not, then figure out what else on the server is making heavy use of the CPU(s). Wil Genovese Sr. Web Application Developer/ Systems

Thanks for the info. Java Garbage Collection seems to be working fine as always. Rebooting the services doesn't free the network sockets and it continues to be a problem until the server is rebooted. 1. Use Java Garbage Collection Modify the JVM.CONFIG file and and append the following

We're starting to get CF8 Enterprise hung instances every 3=4 days or so at different times. Hi Rick, I'd be looking at the memory usage. A tool such as FusionReactor or SeeFusion can help track down problems pretty quickly. In many cases, this kind of behavior points to improperly scoped
