I don't have any direct experience with that error, but I can suggest a tool such as filemon (looks like it's been rolled into process monitor now) to try and find what process is holding the locks at least. It might be a bit of a needle in the hay, but it's a start. Also, pulling a full thread dump of your JVM might show you if the folder is being locked by another thread.
~Brad -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Mail directory locked From: Michael Dinowitz <[email protected]> Date: Thu, January 07, 2010 3:24 pm To: cf-talk <[email protected]> Here's one that was supposed to be solved in earlier versions of ColdFusion. I'm using ColdFusion 8 and every time the system tries to send an email, the following error is generated: "An exception occurred when setting up mail server parameters. This exception was caused by: coldfusion.mail.MailSpooler$SpoolLockTimeoutException: A timeout occurred while waiting for the lock on the mail spool directory.." So the question is, what is causing this lock? From what I can see, there are no permission issues with the mail directory. Anyone have a clue? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
