Where can I get CF 4.0 service packs ?

Untill we get the licenses for 4.5 I would like to upgrade our studios a
little bit ?

and in case you haven't already done so, make sure you have the latest 
service pack for your version of CF installed.

Not necessarily, although there is a log slow pages option which can be
enabled in CF Administrator. Often, the slow pages will be the ones
causing trouble!

Re: CF Using 90-100% of processor time (911!)

2001-04-17 Thread Michael Lugassy

No one asked you what version are you using?
It is recommened that you'll upgrade to SP2 (4.5.1)
it's free from allaire.
We had the same problem with our old 4.5 version.

Anyhow, I don't think it's an immediate change, like the others. Please
remember what happened BEFORE the first time you rebooted the server (prior
to the problem).
This reboot will make all the changes take affect.

BUT CHECK YOUR VERSION INFO (under admin.)
and get back to me.

Thanks,

2001-04-17 Thread Xing Li

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this yet but there is a very rare and
random cfmail bug that cause exactly the cpu usage you have described. Once
in a blue moon CF 4.5.X blurps out an empty/0K email queue in the
C:\CFUSION\MAIL\POOL folder or wherever you installed CF. Look for a 0K file
and remove it if you find it. Once you do that and restart the service
everything should return to normal. It's extremely rare but it does happen.

  I believe your problem is that on one of your pages you are timing out.
  Check to see if you have a page where you are passing a Alpha into a
  numeric field.
 
  It will not necessarily crash if you have a number in the sequence
  somewhere but it can stall your
  cfserver for hours.  Also, set your timeout's lower and set server to
  restart on two timeouts.
 
  This error can happen with datefields too.  Hope you find your problem
it
  took us three weeks
  going through thousands of line of code to fine one date field not
  validating, throwing errors and
  causing  the server to have cfserver at 95% to 100% of the memory usage.
 
 
 
  GOOD LUCK

Re: CF Using 90-100% of processor time (911!)

2001-04-16 Thread Bruce Holm

This sounds like a similar problem we had but on a Unix server.
The culprit was Client Variables.  We were not using them but had them
"enabled".  It filled up our registry file (8Mb).  So check your registry
file located in the coldfusion directory.  If it's big that's a clue.  To
clean it out, remove client variable entries in it.  Also disable client
variables in the Application.cfm file (CFAPPLICATION tag) unless you are
using them, then switch to writing the client variables into a database
instead of the registry file.

Hope this helps.  It did for us.  Do nothing and your site will get
gridlocked for sure.

Did you make any coding or ODBC-OLEDB-Native Driver changes just prior to
this problem.  Does CF take the resources before any  actio-hits on the

Stop the service, look for a zero length file in cfusion/mail/spool.  If you
find one, delete it.  Start the service again and you shold be good.  This
may not be your problem, but it will cause that behavior.

RE: CF Using 90-100% of processor time (911!)

2001-04-16 Thread mjohnson

The question is what did you change!  90% of the time there is some bit of
code that was uploaded that was not tested thoroughly enough and causes this
type of problem.  Revert back to the version of the code that existed before
the problem occured and then walk through all the changes.  My guess is that
it is a bad loop that just runs and runs.
