common causes are. BIG log files, delete/archive them so a new one is created. Thousandsof class files having to load into memory, try clearing them out. You can disable saving class files to disk too, it does do anything except avoid initial compile after a restart.
Cf Tmp folders full of files, try clearing them , out. One other thing I am noticing in the archived log files for the server that's having problems. Lots of entries that look like this: 04/30 11:05:59 error Error while reading header S_DATE_TIME 04/30 11:06:00 error Error while reading header SERVER_SOFTWARE 04/30 11:06:00 error Error while reading header S_STACK_TRACE 04/30 11:06:01 error Error while reading header S_UNABLE 04/30 11:06:02 error Error while reading header BROBUSTENABLED 04/30 11:06:04 error Error while reading header S_EXPAND2 Also, in the current log file, entries like this: 05/05 07:00:10 error Cannot create cookie: expires = Tue, 28-Apr-2043 11:57:01 GMT 05/05 07:00:10 error Cannot create cookie: path = / -----Original Message----- From: Patti, Michael Sent: Thursday, May 09, 2013 12:38 PM To: cf-talk Subject: RE: Slow-starting jrun service Here's what I have under Coldfusion9\runtime\bin\jvm.config on the server that is having problems: # Arguments to VM java.args=-server -Xmx1024m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ -Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib -Dcoldfusion.classPath={application.home}/../lib/updates,{application.home}/../lib,{application.home}/../gateway/lib/,{application.home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/jars,{application.home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/cfform/jars Here's those arguments for one of the two servers that is NOT having problems: # Arguments to VM java.args=-server -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/../ -Dcoldfusion.libPath={application.home}/../lib -Dcoldfusion.classPath={application.home}/../lib/updates,{application.home}/../lib,{application.home}/../gateway/lib/,{application.home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/jars,{application.home}/../wwwroot/WEB-INF/cfform/jars The main difference is that I don't have -xms specified on that server, but even when I had that set to -Xms1024m, it was still having problems starting up.
