Howdy Cf-Talk, My ISP won't allow it's customers to use CFSchedule to run events[1] and so I need to execute an event on my remote site from my local dev box. I am running Personal Web Server on Win2k for development purposes. Can't remember how to make sure PWS starts automatically when my computer starts/re-starts. I had it working for awhile where it ran automatically upon bootup, but now it won't start automatically.
Can anyone remind me of what service makes PWS start and run automatically? I have the "World Wide Web Publishing Service" service set to start automatically, but it must be something else. Thanks! [1] My ISP says: "I regret that we are unable to support scheduled tasks in a large shared environment due to the serious performance problems and crashes that it creates on the servers. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding about this. We specifically mention on the ColdFusion page of our website that the Scheduled Tasks feature is not available on shared servers. Most folks who need to have an automated activity use their local system to make the call. This avoids the inherent problems with the task scheduler and does not crash the servers." The note on their site about not allowing scheduled tasks is new and I wasn't aware about it. But is this a normal policy for most hosting companies offering CF on shared services? Just wondering.
