Re: CF Using 90-100% of processor time (911!)
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. xing - Original Message - From: "Bonnie Betts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 9:27 PM Subject: Re: CF Using 90-100% of processor time (911!) > Question on this thread: > > Would any of the log files give you a hint as to which pages were accessed > when the server started using up resources? > > Bonnie E.

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

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

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

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.

RE: CF Using 90-100% of processor time (911!)
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. -Cameron Cameron Childress elliptIQ Inc. p.770.460.7277.232 f.770.460.0963 > -Original Message- > From: Russ Conway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 12:48 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: CF Using 90-100% of processor time (911!) > > > My server developed a problem today.
