It isn't *just* you but it is certainly a minority. Unfortunately, mailing lists like this (and the webforums) are typically where people come when they have problems so things seem worse than they are - we don't see legions of people piping up and saying "It works just fine for me!"... > I've been trialling CFMX now for 18 days using our existing development > applications, which ran on CF4.5.

Perhaps applying the Updater will resolve some of your problems but it sounds to me like something else is wrong in your environment. Hopefully folks here can help you resolve it. > Can someone please tell me these problems are rare and only I am > experiencing them as opposed to being the general rule of thumb for > CFMX > installs. We have CFMX running on Solaris backed by Oracle for some applications in production (ColdFusion Examples app, various Flash / Flash Remoting / CFMX examples, PetMarket) and these have been running just fine for months without needing any attention (except when we upgraded to Apache 2.x and broke some connector mappings - but that was our bad!). We have been running CFMX internally for many, many months and have experienced very few stability problems (we had a badly-behaved Java tag library that occasionally hung JRun but not much apart from that).
