CFMX is less forgiving about bad code than previous versions. The most common cause of CFMX falling over that I have found so far, is jrun running out of memory. In most cases I have found this to be caused by clients whose code is instantiating CFC's in session scope, so the busier the site gets, the more CFC's are created and the more memory is used. The other one is manic caching of queries, where a page has a dynamic query, such as a search result, and the client caches each and every one of them.

Our two sysadmins curse CF all the time "because it's buggy and it crashes all the time and it sucks." I know that it CAN'T just be CF and I've asked our owner to bring in a consultant to tune our CF setup but he refuses saying "they know what they're doing, it's just bad code.". There are plenty of cases where it IS bad code, but that can't be the only reason. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.

The only reason I ask is that our CF servers always seem a little more unstable than some of our other servers running things such as ASP.NET or Ruby on Rails. CF just seems to restart itself more than I believe it should. I am the only one? I'm pretty sure our code is fairly sound, and that our servers aren't under too much load. -- Neil Middleton Visit feed-squirrel.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:253258 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
