Its not a good morning when you come in and your production CF server is not taking requests.... again. Its even worse when you can't post to the macromedia CF forums because you get a 404 error on submit. :( GRRRRRR well its pretty close to what I posted here yesterday, but I'll give it another go since I don't know what else to do.
Here's what i tried to post to the forum: Mostly a classic ASP environment, IIS W2K. I convinced them to buy CFMX7. (standard) It's been in production for a few months now. Tuesday Night I upgraded to 7.01. The next day the server stopped taking requests around noon. The jrun process was idle, taking only 150mb of memory. (it averages much higher than that when in use) A suggestion was given to check the install log and I noticed there was a problem upgrading the jrun connnector. That made sense since it didn't seam like Jrun was doing anything. I found a post on the forum here about what version the dll should be after the patch. Mine didn't match and I followed the directions provided to upgrade the connector. Bounced both CF and IIS and everything worked fine again. But now, this morning I came in to find the same problem, jrun idle, only CF not responding to the requests... I bounced the cf server and everything started working again, jrun started taking its normal amount of memory. Before restarting (and after) I noticed another problem. I can't load the CF information into performance monitor. The event viewer says: [Q]The data buffer created for the "ColdFusion MX 7 Application Server" service in the "C:\WINNT\system32\cfperfmon_mx.dll" library is not aligned on an 8-byte boundary. This may cause problems for applications that are trying to read the performance data buffer. Contact the manufacturer of this library or service to have this problem corrected or to get a newer version of this library. [/Q] So here are my questions: How can I see whats going on with the server? Where can I look for the errors as to why this is happening??? How can I test the CF server without going through the jrun connector? How can I test the jrun connector itself? Some additional notes... We are using CFDOCUMENT to generate PDF's quite frequently. We've been making use of the new Flex features in 7.01 lately. We've been using flash remoting lately. colfusion-err.log has a lot of [Q] Request timed out waiting for an available thread to run.[/Q] messages, but they don't have a date on them so I am not sure if they are from when the server hung. But like I said, the jrun process was using no CPU and hardly any memory, so I don't see how it could be the same problem, but I can't tell because perfmon won't work. I set the timeout requests after X in the cfadministrator. I set it to 90.
