We're running a CFMX 6.1 / SQL server 2000 app on a 1.6GHz AMD server with
1.5Gb of RAM. The app gets about 2.5 million page requests a month, peaking
at about 7000 page requests per hour.
Since yesterday morning it's suddenly started to misbehave, with the
processor regularly maxing out at 100%. It will run clean an fast for 20
minutes or so, then suddenly requests will start to queue up and the
whole thing grinds to a halt. Usually it recovers, but sometimes the
service needs restarting to get it back.
The app is well behaved, with most requests taking about half a second.
There seem to be no particular long running requests that trigger it.
This happened a couple of months ago and I restricted the amount of memory
SQL server used and increased the RAM on the box to 1.5Gb. It currently
appears to have about 3-400Mb free.
I've installed the CFMX updater (released a few days ago), reinstalled
ColdFusion, scandisked the drive and defragged.
I wonder if anyone can give me any clues on what else to look for. Surely we
should be able to get more traffic out of this spec machine?
Many thanks
