Have you checked the limitations on your firewall? We ran into a similar situation (with a similar network configuration), and we discovered that it was because our firewall (Raptor) only supported 30 concurrent Oracle connections at a time, which essentially made all of our DMZ CF/Oracle sites non-functional. To alleviate the situation, we used Connection Manager to set up the connections, and everything has been fine since.
Debbie McDaniel <debbie.mcdaniel@data To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -line.com> cc: Subject: Oracle Error 02/07/2002 09:57 AM Please respond to cf-talk Hi everyone, I keep getting these weird errors with Oracle 8i that of course are being blamed on ColdFusion. Here goes. Our webserver sits in the DMZ and our database server is inside the firewall. All traffic going from the webserver goes through the firewall to talk to the database. I seem to be able to access the database through coldfusion 90% of the time, but sometimes I will get an ORA-0 error or an ORA-12203:TNS:unable to connect to destination error, both of which result in massive errors in the application and the eventual rebooting of the machine. I am thinking it may be a network issue, but because coldfusion is new to this company they want to blame it. If I log in with sql+ (an oracle client) I can access the datasource w/o trouble, although cf can't even verify the datasource. This usually happens after several moderate hits to the datasource. We are running CF 4.5.2 with all the appropriate patches applied on a Compaq Windows 2000 machine with all the appropriate service packs applied to Win2K. Our database is Oracle 8i - anyone have some suggestions? Greatly appreciated!
