I think I'm going crazy. My CFMX server crashes almost every day now and it
is a really big problem. I posted the other day and asked anyone on this
list if they were running CFMX on a med-high traffic site without crashing
and not a single person responded with a positive story of success. Not
very encouraging.
We've had to look at purchasing a new web server, CFMX license, and
hardware load balancer just to keep our website up. And our webserver is
only running at about 10-20% utilization! I don't get it, we're not under a
lot of load but the server continue's to die. I've had the following problems:
First the server would start to stack queued and running requests while not
responding until the server was completely unresponsive. Restarting the
CFMX service would bring the server back.
We then added a nightly cycle (cycle.bat) to see if that would help. It did
not seem to help, we continued to experience the same crashes.
Now the server is crashing more than before and exhibiting some new
symptoms. This bread of crash does not increment the queued or running
requests, does not "stop" the service, it just causes the webserver to
return server not found errors. This has happened twice. For no apparent
reason, in the middle of the night (low traffic) the server dies.
Restarting CFMX and/or IIS does not help. The server requires a complete
reboot to come back on-line. The following (from the event log) seems to
coincide with the time the server went down last night:
This error is apparently what killed CFMX.
From Dr. Watson:
The application, , generated an application error The error occurred on
11/02/2002 @ 01:31:38.484 The exception generated was c0000005 at address
6D45F565 (JVM_InitializeCompiler)
Since the CFMX service was not actually stopped, trying to restart it
generated this error in the exception log:
Information","Thread-4","11/02/02","01:49:38",,"Address in use: JVM_Bind"
java.net.BindException: Address in use: JVM_Bind

I don't know what to do next, except wait for Macromedia to release a new
updater. We've gone over the applications code and there are no unlocked
variables, everything looks okay. Does anyone know what the JVM error above
means? Should I rebuild the machine from the ground up?
