I also use cfusion to start and stop my other servers, so I usually leave cfusion running. Is there an easier way to start/stop the other servers? If so, I could just turn cfusion off like you suggested!

As for your question, yes, this (stopping the cfusion instance in the multiserver deployment, when it's not needed) is an optimization that I often point to my customers (for CF Server troubleshooting, tuning, etc.). Of course, you need it to use its Instance Manager, such as to add/edit instances and clusters. But otherwise, as long as you don't have any websites configured (such as in IIS, Apache) to point to that cfusion instance, then nothing is really using it, no, and therefore it can be stopped. Some may wonder why bother. Well, it would save the memory that it would otherwise use, and that can be significant. Of course, you can view its memory use using via various tools, but even more simply just consider that by default, all instances share the same jvm.config, so the settings for your "real" instances are used for this cfusion instance (unless you take manual steps to do otherwise). Of course, the instance also does a little disk I/O and uses a little CPU even when it's "doing nothing", so again if you don't need it, it's best to turn it off. I stop that instance and then set it (in Windows Services) to be "manual". I start it when I need to add/edit instances, clusters, etc. You mention using the Instance Manager to get the link for the admin of a given instance. Of course, you'd now just want bookmark that individually instead. :-) Hope that's helpful. /charlie > -----Original Message----- > From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Clarke > Bishop > Sent: Friday, December 04, 2009 5:03 PM > To: discussion@acfug.org > Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion debugging info > > Thanks Cam and Charlie! > > Cameron said something that triggered the fix.
