Setup: Windows 2003 Server / IIS 6 / CF 8 We have several websites setup in IIS, each with their own IIS application pool. Every once in a while, one of these application pools will fail more than 5 times in ten minutes, causing the application pool to shutdown. The good news is all of our other websites, on their own app pools, stay up.
Problem: After we recycle the app pool, and try to run a CF page, we get an error that states there is no mapping between IIS and CF. My thoughts were that this was somehow an IIS issue, and I wanted to confirm that. I thought the easiest way to do so would be to make sure restarting the CF service didn't fix the problem. So I restarted CF, and, to my surprise, we website started working again. So my questions are... Why do I have to restart CF after I recycle an IIS application pool to get everything working again? To a deeper level, besides the ISAPI extensions (.cfm, .cfc, etc.) listed in the IIS websites Home Directory > Configuration > Application Configuration page, what is the relationship between IIS, IIS application pools and CF. Any help here would be greatly appreciated! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:301933 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
