I've been running CFMX on Red Hat Linux 7.3 since last May. Everything
was running fine until a few weeks ago when I ran a small security
patch for Apache to bring it to version 1.3.27-4, and then everything
went haywire. Now, CF will cease processing (but not actually crash, or
report any errors) at random times, almost always when I'm NOT at work
(usually around 5 am, sometimes at 8 am, but there's no specific time
or interval.) This is obviously unacceptable, and has caused us great
stress and a lot of lost confidence from our clients. There's a lot of
talk out there about how CF isn't stable on Linux, especially Apache
1.3. I've got the latest versions of everything, and the only other
change that's happened is we've gotten more traffic than we had before,
due to a large client we're now hosting, but certainly not enough
traffic to bring a server down. Coldfusion is supposed to be scalable,
and the 6.1 update was supposed to fix a lot of stability issues, but
if this keeps up we'll have to dump it, or worse ... go back to
Windows.
Is there anyone else that has had problems similar to what I've
described? Any solutions? I also have problems sometimes with Apache
not being able to kill its child processes, which is supposed to be an
SSL problem. I ALSO have issues with the 2.4 kernel and modprobe taking
up 99% of my CPU! Can anyone recommend a good consultant with Linux,
CF, and Plesk (server administrator tools) experience?
Thanks,
Ken
