Well, if that's the case, I'd be shocked. IIS logs in on it's own to the system, and should have full control over all the files that it has to read and deliver. It doesn't require secondary permissions. The thread that pulls the page (initiated by the connection) does. But that's before-the-fact. The fact that IIS would require a lowering of security status is a bit disquieting. And certainly so if it's really just for CFMX.
That would be a security THREAT, not a solution. (Or am I just being paranoid?) Really.. The issue is most likely simple. If someone from MM simply watched, grabbed logs from, poked and prodded a dead server (any of ours), they'd most likely find the issue pretty quickly, I have no doubt. And going back to CF5 is beginning to look like the solution for now. Unfortunately that means people using it's more powerful features (like James Johnson <howdy Jim!>) would now have to go backwards. But it may be our only hope at this point. For the record.. The server in question has died (and restarted itself) 11 times since this thread started at 6am this morning. Always running itself into oblivion, then having to restart. The logs look like a jumble of gobbledy-gook from one of my old Fortran-printing days. Most of which means nothing to me. Most of it is duplicated in several log files.

With the consistant rash | of unresponsive CF service problems (that require many | restarts of IIS/CF -- and then finally a complete server | restart), to the numerous problems trying to educate users on | locking their vars... it's really become more of a pain than | it's worth. | | A server that has been running quite well for approximately a | month, has suddenly started spiraling out of control, with | the only option being a manual restart of the CF server. IIS | is running, and serves HTML pages file.. but CFM pages get 404'd. | | We've uninstalled and reinstalled connectors, run the | updaters.. etc.. etc.. etc. It's just getting old having to | fight this every day. | | CF didn't used to be like this! It had it's problems, to be | sure. But it was, for the vast majority of the time, stable. | Now, it seems that every time we turn around, or if one of | our clients who runs CF doesn't code something exactly | correct... the server decides to go nutz and crash. (Well.. | The CF and IIS services crash anyway.) This is crazy. ASP | doesn't do this! (gulp) | | Now, when I talk to Macromedia about serious debugging to | find the problems -- they say "$$$$$$". Uhm... Didn't we | just pay thousands to get this thing on our server so that we | can support the CF program and propogate it's use in the | marketplace? And now we have to pay MORE to debug a problem | that is clearly within CF?? Not to mention the fact that the | cost in man-hours and down time, lost clients (we've a had a | few who have jumped ship because the services were not | stable). It's really quite tiring now.. and COMPLETELY frustrating. | | I've SCOURED the KB's. Left messages in all the forums, | lists, etc. All are the same patches/fixes.. None of them work. | | This is total frustrating. | | </ventoff> | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
