RE: CF 5 App crashing every 5 minutes...
We're seeing some similar behavior here at *mumble*. I suspect improper locking of Session variable is at least partly to blame. Lots of stuff like this: cflock scope=session type=readonly timeout=5 cfset request.strLogin = StructCopy(Session.strLogin) /cflock Or even worse: cflock scope=session type=readonly timeout=5 cfset request.strLogin = Session.strLogin /cflock Where strLogin is a structure of structures (of structures). Inexperienced CF Developers and unreasonable deadlines in the early stages of the project have made a bit of a mess. --- Nathaniel Horwitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'd be more inclined to agree with him.

RE: CF 5 App crashing every 5 minutes...
We're seeing some similar behavior here at *mumble*. I suspect improper locking of Session variable is at least partly to blame. Aye, a lot of that here as well...*blush* When we started, we used a set of shopping cart scripts from CartEase to give us a jumpstart. Unfortunately, that code also taught us some bad CF programming habits, such as not locking scope variables at all! I just recently understood how important this is. *sigh* Of course, the CartEase stuff was buggy anyway and had to be completely re-written to work with Linux and Oracle, it was written for windoze servers with Access or SQL Server and mistakenly advertised as working on linux and with any SQL database. lol. Inexperienced CF Developers and unreasonable deadlines in the early stages of the project have made a bit of a mess. That would describe my situation exactly except a bit of a mess is an understatement. At least I know now and added locks to all session vars. A lot of other fixes on my list as well, the more I dig into CF best practices coding. I shoulda done this a long time ago but as you remarkedunreasonable deadlines and so on. :) At least I am using the log files now. hehe...amazing how useful they are, eh? -Steve __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: CF 5 App crashing every 5 minutes...
a few things to check that I have seen cause this: 1. Make sure your temp files are big enough for your OS 2. Make sure you have ample free disk available 3. If you have any access databases connected, take them all offline, compact and repair and then bring them back online. Those three items are often the route of the evil you are experiencing.

Make sure your temp files are big enough for your OS 2. Make sure you have ample free disk available 3. If you have any access databases connected, take them all offline, compact and repair and then bring them back online. Those three items are often the route of the evil you are experiencing. Any yes, more traffic means more caching, which means more swap/temp file use. -paris Paris Lundis Founder Areaindex, L.L.C. http://www.areaindex.com http://www.pubcrawler.com (p) 1-212-655-4477 [finding the future in the past, passing the future in the present] [connecting people, places and things] -Original Message- From: Douglas Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 1:17 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CF 5 App crashing every 5 minutes...

Re: CF 5 App crashing every 5 minutes...
Limit simultaneous requests to : 10 how many cpu's?

RE: CF 5 App crashing every 5 minutes...
That sounds more like freezing than crashing. I'd check all shared-scope variables for locking (ANY use of a shared-scope variable MUST be locked) If you are in fact using shared-scope variables, you could always check the Single Threaded Sessions checkbox in CF admin under locking to test if this is your problem without having to add cflock to find out. -Craig __ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

RE: CF 5 App crashing every 5 minutes...
Joel, I think this was touched on already if not it is important. Look in the Application and Server logs, search for the string thread. If it is there chase down the ColdFusion templates that are identified with that string. This means you do have shared scope variable corruption problems. This will relate to Application, Server and Session scoped variables.

RE: CF 5 App crashing every 5 minutes...
Simultaneous requests should generally be about 3 to 5 per processor. We use 5 per processor. Timeout requests is how long you'll wait before assuming the request isn't coming back to ColdFusion. 900 seconds is about 104 days I think. That's likely your freezing problem right there. The restart value should be 80% of your maximum simultaneous threads.

Hello All, I need big help.Last night, I saw that our server was going down, then I noticed that it was not the server but more that the cfserver.exe in the task manager was just stopping. If I restart the serveice it is all good. But I need to do this every 5 minutes...Which is not good...So I wrote a batch file that does it for me. I need to know why this error is happening. It seems like when the cfserver.exe gets around 25 megs or memory use it just stops responding. The task is still there but it will not respond. I'm using CF Server 5 on a Windows server 2000 SP2. Is there something in the threads that I should change? I can post the lines of the error logs of CF here but I need to know which ones u would need. I will need help. I did nothing to the server that would just start doing this. We are getting more traffic then before. Would that be the cause? If yes, there must be a way to fix this. == Joel Blanchette IT and System Specialist Point of Impact Technologies Inc.

Re: CF 5 App crashing every 5 minutes...
What version of CF are you using? If you are using 5 then it will be under settings. As far as the time-out is concerned, I would set it to 30 and then in the templates that you are talking about, you can use requesttimeout= in your url variable. IE: http://www.yourserver.com?requesttimeout= Douglas Brown Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Joel Blanchette [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 11:40 AM Subject: RE: CF 5 App crashing every 5 minutes... I have 1 cpu intel 850mhz I need the timeout high before some of our stats that go off at the middle of the night takes a while to finish. We are re-vamping the stats system right now. Hopefully this will be better in a couple of weeks. I will change it to 5... How to I enable strict attribute validation? == Joel Blanchette IT and System Specialist Point of Impact Technologies Inc.

Limit simultaneous requests to : 10 how many cpu's? Timeout requests after : 900 s Kinda high dont ya think? 30 - 60 maybe Restart at 10 unresponsive requests - I would make this like 5 Restart when requests terminate abnormally : on Suppress whitespace by default: on I would also enforce strict attribute validation.
