RE: CF server hangng with unresponsive threads

2002-11-27 Thread Jim Davis
 The number of users on our system has recently increased from 
 about 15 to 35, and now the server is hanging 3 or 4 times a 
 day.  Server.log reporting that the unrespnsive thread count 
 (see log snippet at end of message).
 
 Have tried paying with the various cfadmin settings, but no joy.
 
 There are killer queries that are being executed, and this 
 takes 99% of the CPU for up to 2 minutes - and although the 
 cfserver appears to hang at those times, the response comes 
 back when the query has finished, btu what we are seeing is 
 worse than that - indefinite hangs which can only be cured by 
 stoping and restarting the cf server.
 
 We are working to get rid of the killer queries (even if they 
 are not the cause, they should be eliminated in any case), 
 and will probably move the cf server to another machine 
 (currently on the same high spec machine as the databse).
 
 Is there anything else we should be doing?  Has anyone else 
 experienced these problems?
 
 Am running CF 5.0 on RedHat Linux 2.4.2-2smp,  UNIX ODBC and 
 Postgres 7.2.3

I know that this is an old saw, but are you locking properly?  If not
then added load is exactly when you'll see problems.

I've a guide to locking here that might be useful:

http://www.depressedpress.com/DepressedPress/Content/ColdFusion/Guides/L
ocking/Index.cfm

The guide is really only application to CF 4-5 as MX changes (and
improves) the locking rules quite a bit, but since you're on 5.0 it's
still VERY important.

Stephen, are you using Application, Server and/or Session scoped variables
in your application?
