If Fusion Reactor is like SeeFusion, I have actually seen more examples of where the monitoring application is still available even when the CF Server does not seem responsive. The most common cause of this is due to the CF server being out of active threads to respond to requests with due to DB locks, or other I/O locks on threads. Since SeeFusion (and I assume Fusion Reactor as well) are implemented as a Java servlet filter they can usually manage to keep going even if CF is out of threads.
I believe what you are saying though-- so it sounds like something is locking up the whole JVM. If memory looks good, I guess I would check for Hot Spot JVM crashes. First, check your out logs in <CFRoot>\runtime\logs\coldfusion-out.log Next check for the existence of any file in <CFRoot>\runtime\bin\ that look like "hs_err_pidxxxx.log" where xxxx was the process id of the JVM when it crashed. Also, you mentioned you were using CFX_Image. Check this blog entry of Steven Erat's that discusses a very similar problem they had on a server using CFX_image. http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=B13095A3-45A6-2844-799942B3CBA5269E ~Brad >> What does fusion reactor say is happening on the server >> when it "stops".
