Hi Jim, I've typically seen this error in my applications when I've done something horribly wrong and ime it's usually accompanied by the cfserver service restarting. It's possible that it could be related to locking, although locking is typically not related to datasource issues ( although I've heard of it being used as a workaround for certain problems with MS Access ) and even when it is a database problem, you'll usually just get odbc errors rather than big-time cf server problems...
It might be related to unlocked data manipulation in the application or more often session scopes... and unfortunately being on a shared server, it'd be difficult to say whether going through all of your own code and making sure all of your own stuff is locked would even solve the problem. Personally I think it'd be nice to see the hosting companies turning full-checking on on their shared servers, but for various reasons ( loss of performance, time on the phone with customers explaining locking, etc... ) it just doesn't happen that way. In any event, if you're using session, application or server ( I'd stay away from these on a shared server ) variables I would probably _start_ by making sure they're all locked and then if it continues I'd consider finding another host if it's bothersome enough. Wish I could provide more solid answers for you, Isaac www.turnkey.to 954-776-0046 ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
