Dennis, We have/had the same problems.
We were running Apache 1.3.23 on Red Hat 7.1, and it crashed several times a day... often not staying up for more than an hour or two. The best part was that when it crashed... it brought apache down with it... so none of my sites would work. We have since created a development box, and reverted our MX installation back to CF 5 (which is running perfectly stable). At one point, we were working directly with MM, and even gave them root on the box to look around... and they couldn't find anything wrong with our installation or configuration. On the development box, we have installed Apache 1.3.23 and Red Hat 7.2... and things are running... better. The server hasn't had to be restarted since the installation 2.5 days ago, however it does 'pause for thought' on occasion. During our stress tests, it always responds... however every so often it will take 5-10 minutes for it to resume from a pause... it's quite unusual. Our hypothesis is that the apache connector is weak... so we are considering running MX on its internal webserver and then patching apache traffic through where necessary. Not an ideal situation, but it may work. I know that doesn't help you much... no solid solution to give you. We didn't upgrade to Apache 2.0 because there are a host of other problems with Apache 2.0 that would cause conflicts with other solutions (in other languages) that we have running. -- Jillian -----Original Message----- From: dennis baldwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 11:04 AM To: CF-Linux Subject: CFMX Linux Madness Hello all, I haven't heard anything from the list lately so I'm assuming everyone has either resolved all their CF-Linux issues or we're all still in limbo. Here's the deal with our server. Yesterday I had to kill the cfusion process and restart CF 3 times in a span of 4 hours. We're running apache 1.3.23 on RH7.3 and I'm tempted to upgrade to Apache 2.0. Any word if this will fix the problem? I've heard that is does and I've heard that it doesn't, we've tried everything else. I've been following this post http://webforums.macromedia.com/coldfusion/messageview.cfm?catid=10&thre adid=415411 and it seems that there isn't a straight answer. I wish MM could give us an updated when a potential patch/hotfix will be released. What are you guys doing to cope with this issue? Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions you can give.
