As a side note. I learned from bitter experience a couple years ago never to install professional onto a windows machine which was running Enterprise. It simply does not work and forced me to have to run a complete system (OS) reinstall to fix it.
I'm presuming the same dictum applies to CF on linux. Make sure Enterprise is fully removed before installing a Professional version. Best to start from a fresh OS install if possible.

Deb -----Original Message----- From: David Phipps [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 4:57 AM To: CF-Linux Subject: ColdFusion Server 5 on Cobalt RaQs Hi, I wonder if anybody could advise on this issue? We are running Coldfusion 5 Professional on a Sun Cobalt RaQ4 with 512Mb of RAM. A couple of days ago we noticed that the red 'warning light' was being displayed in the Cobalt web control panel alerting us to a low memory situation. We have never encountered this before and checked everything very carefully fearing that an unexpected drain on system resources might point to a compromised/hacked machine. Everything seemed fine until we ran a 'top' command in a Terminal window. It revealed that several processes were running which shouldn't be including one ('CANamingAdapter') which was running 5 times and collectively sucking out 85% of available memory. A quick glance at the ColdFusion manual showed that all these random processes were parts of the Enterprise edition of ColdFusion and as a Professional serial number is installed they should not be running. Trying to stop ClusterCATS and the Application Manager didn't work and instead we had to run: '/opt/coldfusion/bin/cfam-start' whereupon it then told us that ClusterCATS was already running! We could then run: '/etc/rc.d/init.d/btccmgr stop' and it returned to normal. We have just checked our other Cobalt RaQ4 (with the same spec.) and it is also running these extra processes but 'CANamingAdapter' is only using about 5% of available RAM. Could somebody possible explain the following: 1. Why is ColdFusion running as Enterprise version when it is serialised as Professional? It was installed in both cases as 'demo' mode and then serialised - is this the reason? 2. How can we get it to not run these processes on boot up? It seems to take from 5 to 10 minutes for the cfserver/cfexec to start serving pages but during this time another glance at the 'top' output shows that all the Enterprise processes are up and running - are they competing for resources and stopping cfserver/cfexec from loading promptly? 3. Has anybody else had similar problems like this with a Cobalt RaQ? Many thanks.
