Hey all! Just wondering if anyone might have any suggestions on what to look for in troubleshooting why my MX server freezes up each day. (Win 2K, 1 GB RAM, tons of free HD space - a brand new system.)
It's a dedicated server, only this one application running. It is a kind of Enterprise monitoring system. Ten templates each contain various tests, like HTTP requests, directory counts, etc. The results of each test are saved to a large 2-d Application.array. The results are also appended to a log file. All templates are scheduled tasks which run every five minutes, rarely simultaneously as their schedules are offset by a minute. Users request another template which just loops through that Application.array to output all the test results in one place. This page also has javascript to refresh every 4 minutes. Not using CFAdmin scheduler because too unstable. Instead, Windows 2000 Scheduled tasks HTTP requests all templates through Netscape (because Netscape permits Javascript to close window on pageload). No datasources - all just Application variables and reading and writing to files. Very little traffic - less than an average of 5 requests a minute. There are a couple client variables to toggle alarm on and off and other preferences. No session variables. Whole system works great but just freezes up an average of once every other day (never at the same time) - Restarting the MX server is all I can do. I am not locking Application variables because I thought it was unnecessary in MX. The only thing I can think of is that every once in a while, two templates just happen to append to the same log file at the same time? Or maybe you do have to lock Application variables? I know there are probably a million things to look at - perhaps someone could direct me to some good documentation on the subject? I've looked everywhere I can think of... Thank you so much for any help anyone can provide! -Jason ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
