Well that is true of CF professional edition; since with professional a single instance of CF runs all applications on the box. Bad code, such as an endless loop, in any application will crash the entire box and all applications on it. We had this problem with our internal servers here a BloodSource. Unfortunately I was the one who usually found very creative ways to create endless loops that would bring down the entire box.
This can be mitigated somewhat by Hosting Companies by discouraging "development" on shared hosted boxes. But I'm sure that is something that is difficult to detect and enforce. For us, the solution was to go to CF enterprise so that we could create separate instances for each application. Now causing one instance to lock up with an endless loop does not affect the rest of the applications. This has saved me much embarrassment. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
