Well, when I had mine set to the recommended settings I used to get dozens of timeouts daily in the application.log. Every couple days I'd go in and raise it by 5 and the number of timeouts would decrease. When I got to 45 they went away. I then made it 50 and never get timeouts and the performance hasn't suffered. Right now I'm hosting about 40 CF sites on the box, with about half running Access as the database and the other half running SQL on a separate box. Some of the SQL sites are pretty busy getting hundreds of visitors daily with one doing close to 2,000 visitors daily. I do get some ConnectWrite SQL Server ODBC timeout errors, an average of about 4 a day, which I can live with. My web server is running dual 533 Mz PIIIs with 1 GB RAM. The SQL Server is a single PIII 833 Mz with 512 MB RAM. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ 954.721.3452 ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
