Michael, This is a loooong shot... (and in the dark too) but try and boot your server with the network cable unplugged. This might help you narrow down the problem. I'm recalling a client of mine who had problems starting his CF5 server. The problem turned out to be that his mail server was running on the same machine and when people tried to check their mail (usually every minute or two) the mail service and ColdFusion services would crash. To this day I have no idea why but the irony was... when they unplugged it and brought it over to us we couldn't duplicate the problem. Took it back over there... and poof... problems just like magic.
I doubt this is your problem but sometimes it's worth mentioning... just in case. -Novak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Dinowitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 8:34 PM Subject: Re: CF 5 not starting > Yep and yep.
