Daily Server re-start with MX 6.1
I am on a shared host running MX6.1 and I hava had no problems accept the server seems to restart on a 1 to 2 day basis. I have access to the cfschedule tag so I have just set it up to call a template that checks the exisitance of an application variable once an hour, if it is not defined it resets the variable and emails me the fact. Is it normal with MX6.1 to regularily restart the server, if I was on a dedicated server (just me) and my code was perfect..:) would I need to restart on a regular basis? Andrew.

Do you know if it is basic on a Windows 2003 Server?

Windows 2003 version 5.2, I'm not sure what you mean by basic? Do you know if it is basic on a Windows 2003 Server? Andrew. __ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
Re: Daily Server re-start with MX 6.1
That is probably why then. There is a problem with CFMX on Windows 2003 where the server service crashes and restarts itself at random. It happens on our 2003 server about 1 - 3 times a day and there appears to be nothing you can do about it. See the following CF Forum post. http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=2threadid=785970 Although someone marked my post as the answer, it only helps reduce the frequency of the problem and doesn't get rid of it all together. Sorry it doesn't really help.

RE: Daily Server re-start with MX 6.1
I have run CFMX 6.1 on our Win2003 server for months and have never experienced a restart of services that I didn't instantiate. Pre or post updaters/patches/hotfixes... Am I to consider myself lucky? Paul [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
Re: Daily Server re-start with MX 6.1
Hi Paul. You may just simply have not noticed as the server does recover itself. Open up the 'Event Viewer' under 'Administrative Tools' and look in the application log and see if there are any entries with the 'Source' of 'Application Error'. If there is open up the details for that event and see if it says: Faulting application jrun.exe, version 4.0.3.10455, faulting module jvm.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00156e55. If it does then you have the problem as well. Our last entry was today at 16:38 GMT and prior to that was yesterday at 23:18 GMT. It appears to be completely random, but if you don't have the problem that I would consider yourself very lucky as I know many people with this problem.

RE: Daily Server re-start with MX 6.1
Andrew, If there is one thing I do its check the logs... religiously... Both Event logs and CF logs don't show anything like I read on the MM forum link you posted earlier and nothing like what you just described... never.. not even once... In this case I would hazard a guess that it isn't either ColdFusion or Windows 2003 per se but is quite possibly a registry setting or system hack or difference in services running or some other factor that differs between the machines Out of interest, we are running on a dual Xeon DELL 2650 with 1Gb ram and 70Gb of RAID 5 drives. We host about 60 sites on that server as it is relatively new and we are responsible for all the CF code that runs. Only one CFX tag that we have is not ours and that is Ben Fortas CFX_SPELL (great tag btw). Performance wise the server is handling a modest 3/4 million page impressions a month and really isn't getting out of bed at that... 50% memory free, 80% drive space free. When I configured the server I went through all the MS best practice documents then turned off all the other unnecessary services too. CF was tightened up quite a bit but the JVM settings have never been touched... I did also go through all the TCP/IP hardening papers on the MS site etc turning on SYN attack protection etc. The server only gets a reboot when patches/hotfixes require it and there are no service entries for any of the running services stopping unexpectedly. If you want to check what services you have running against what I have running mail me offlist as it may be that your JVM is clashing with something that I don't have... CFMX 6.1.0.83762 Standard Windows 2003 Standard Edition fully patched Sun JVM 1.4.2 Paul [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
RE: Daily Server re-start with MX 6.1
I don't have any of these.I'm running the server config of CF.Is this problem only related to the JRun install of CF?
