I know exactly why this happens and Paul is correct about the reason. IIS is running, but CF is in the process of restarting and is not yet handling requests. I am not sure if the problem has been patched or not, but Macromedia had plenty of time to fix it. It is definitely a bug, since the error is supposed to say "Could not connect to JRun Server." If you find that patches are not helping, try specifying a custom error message so you don't see "<.".
To define a custom error message, all that is needed is an HTML page with the desired error message and the URL to the HTML file entered on the errorurl= line in your jrun*.ini file. To get the new error message to take hold, ColdFusion needs to be restarted followed by IIS (the World Wide Web Publishing Service). This definitely works, since I did this and fully tested it for a client last year. -Mike Chabot On 3/4/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Rick, Paul, thank you. > > There is no error-message. ;-) > Unfortunately. > I can't give you the cfml-code, since > it happens on different cfml-pages. > > @Paul: The machine is fully patched > with all CFMX updaters and patches. > Even an Adobe consulting engineer is already checking > the machine. :-) > It might turn out, it is a driver problem, > since it started to happen only with MS SQL 2005 server. > Under MS SQL 7 it was fine. > By the way, does s.o. know when the official supported > native-drivers for MS SQL Server 2005 are going to be released ? > Uwe > > Could you at least post the error message? > > > Look in the application.log and exception.log > > > The CFML code would also be useful. > > > Rick > > > > On 3/3/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> > >> Good day, > >> with CFMX 6.1 (under Windows 2003 Server) > >> in connection to MS SQL 2005 Server we do sometimes > >> receive white HTML pages with the following > >> signs: "<." > >> We use the JDBC-drivers: version = 3.50 > >> The "error" is unreproducable in a way > >> that is not predictable that it occurs > >> only on certain pages. > >> > >> Any ideas what this might cause ? > >> > >> Uwe > >> > >> > >> > >> > >> > > > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
