Anyone successfully install CF8 with iis 7.5?  I get the 404.3 error saying there is no mapping for the file type.  one blog said it needed to be manually updated but that seems wrong and it didn't work   Just got a single line that said 'Server Error'.

I set my IIS setting to the same listed here:

http://dale.fraser.id.au/2008/05/coldfusion-8-vista-sp1-solution.html

I was wondering what considerations to take when deploying a ColdFusion 8 project as an EAR/WAR file. Is it possible to create the file on one computer (eg: development) and run it on another (eg: server)?

Hi there,

I am running a ColdFusion server on a VPS to HostMySite.com and lately we are having strange problems with it. Every few minutes the server is not responding even if we restart the services - IIS and ColdFusion - and even the whole system.

HMS guys investigated the problem and they discovered that every connection to the server is openening multiple sockets for a single IP address (every single visitor).

Here is the full message from HMS technician, do you have any previous experience related to this?

I've been doing some advanced monitoring and troubleshooting of your VPS over the last 24 hours.

It is important to understand that the issue you're actually experiencing is related to TCP sockets.  Every connection to your server opens a socket and sometimes multiple sockets for an individual IP (visitor).

I opened the sitehttp://www.viaromania.eu/and instantly there were 7 connections established from our IP address.

Over the last 2 days there are 205 coldfusion-out logs and they are all full of the same error:

java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: socket write error

Normally when we see this we'll make a few registry adjustments that allow for more socket connections and a shorter time to live on existing socket connections.  However in your case all of the registry adjustments have already been set.

MaxUserPort 65534
TcpNumConnections 200 connections
TcpTimedWaitDelay 30 seconds

I adjusted the TcpNumConnections to 500, see if this alleviates the issue.  Note that allowing 500 Tcp Connections is not necessarily a good idea as this amount of traffic could theoretically bring down your server.

I created a scheduled task that executes every 60 seconds in which it counts the connections on port 80 and writes it to the file netstat.txt on the desktop.

After logging for the last 24 hours it has gone over the 500 TCP connections 19 times all between 2:21pm and 2:40pm

2:21 PM 1367
2:22 PM 1423
2:24 PM 1684
2:25 PM 1466
2:26 PM 1867so

2:36 PM 531
2:37 PM 539
2:38 PM 551
2:39 PM 551
2:40 PM 522

So this is pretty good news.  This means your site over the last 24 hours only had 19 minutes of issues due to TCP connections.

Please, post your messages if you know why so many sockets are opened for every single IP and if this is a normal behaviour.

Hello, I've migrated an application from IIS 6 to IIS 7 and all is running well. I would like to handle 404 errors outside of ColdFusion however. Very simple with IIS 6, I simply checked "Verify that file exists" under the .cfm and .cfc extensions. In IIS 7, I have taken the route recommended in other forums by setting the "Invoke handler only if request is mapped to: File", but this has no effect on the processing of a ColdFusion template. I still see the generic 404 error that ColdFusion generates by default.

I've noticed that there is a wildcard declaration in the handler mappings, mapping all requests to jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll. I tried removing this entry and as soon as I do I get server errors for all of my requests. The fact that there is a change however is leading me to believe that this wildcard declarion is handling the .cfm requests, and not the handler actually assigned to *.cfm. The wildcard script mapping does not have the option mentioned above, so I cannot verify the ColdFusion template actually exists.

Viewing the "ordered list", *.cfm appears above the wildcard mapping, but I am expecting that because I've set the *.cfm mapping to execute only if the file exists, the request is simply dropping down to the wildcard mapping.

Anyone have luck with this?

I have a bunch of scheduled tasks setup to run hourly. For whetever reason, the tasks seem to be running 2-3 times at the scheduled time instead of just once. I've put a <cflog> call in the template being called to confirm that all calls are coming from the expected source and there isn't something else calling the template, and everything looks fine. Anybody know of any bug in CF 8 where scheduled tasks ran multiple times for whatever reason?

Thanks,

-TM

Ok I see this problem all over the web but most of the posts are many years old and still leave me a little confused.  Often at random times on the same tags like CFLDAP I get the error "Unable to create new native thread".  Then a few minutes later the same tag on the same page works just fine.

I have 4GB of memory in this box with 1400 MB set as the maximum Java heap size by the way.

Here are my arguments from the jvm.config file.

I could really use some help figuring this out.  We are getting random errors a few times a day and usually in places where we are using CFLDAP.

Hi,

I've been able to get my CF10 server up and running (thanks Rupesh!) and am trying to do some configuration.

I installed the Solr search service during the installation but when I go to the collections screen in the CF Administrator it says "Unable to retrieve collections from the Search Services. Ensure that you have installed ColdFusion Search Service and it is running."

now checking for the process shows it's running

[root@LMCFXD02 /]# ps -ef | grep solr

root     15563  1987  0 11:33 pts/0    00:00:00 grep solr

Can anybody shed some light on why I can't create a new collection?

Cheers,
Simon

I was reading an article on Clustering/LB/HA using CF8, but have not found any updates for CF10.

Using VM VirtualBox to setup a few virtual servers, I am looking to setup a load balancing of ColdFusion 10 on 2 remote instances. The goal would be have ColdFusion Cluster Manager be able to point http request to one of the two servers based on load/availability. Not really having a hardware cluster/failover setup, just managing resources on two CF instances instead of a standalone.

The servers are Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS7.5 and ColdFusion 10 Enterprise on installed on 3 of these machines. Let's call them CF-LBManager, CF-Web1, and CF-Web 2. In the CF Docs, they show the Cluster Manager adding the local CF instance and "if you want" a remote instance. However, this scenario would require the main instance to be running and not fail for it to direct to the other instance.

I am trying to set this up now with CF-LBManager as just a manager of the requests coming in. In the Enterprise Manager >> Instance Manager, the local instance is shown and I add the two remote instances with the correct Remote Port, JVM Route, etc. I also made sure the <Cluster>...</Cluster> block was added to the two remote instances (CF-Web1 and CF-Web2) \runtime\conf\server.xml file too, Jetty Services also is running. Now under the Enterprise Manager >> Cluster Manager I add the two remote instances to the cluster, not the local instance on CF-LBManager with Multicast Port and Sticky Sessions enabled. On Submit, I get a green message "You must restart all the server instances and any configured webservers for these changes to take effect.". I go ahead and reboot the servers and come back.

I now browse to the ColdFusion page as a test on CF-Web1 and CF-Web2 to make sure CF is running properly, they do. I then browse the IP of the CF-LBManager, however it only returns the local IIS web site and not redirect to one of the two cluster members. I am not seeing any message on the coldfusion-out.log on the remote instances. Am I not setting this up correctly or not enabling the Cluster Manager to take over and pass along the requests to those in the cluster?

Hi,

I'm trying to install solr collections for my sites unde CF9, so I installed Solr Server, but when I try to create a collection in the administrator, I get this error :
« fr_FR. must be one of the ColdFusion supported locales ».

But fr_FR is the Java Default Locale in the CF administrator.

So what's wrong?

I have 1 CF 10 server 64 bit running on IIS 7.5 on a Win 2008 R2 VM w/ 4 Gig Ram on 4Ghz of processing. The box hosts 5 websites with not too much traffic.  I've been experiencing Service unavailable errors about once per day and only on certain websites. I restart the CF App Service and all is well again.  All 4 of the websites have the same code with just a few variables difference to get different data.

I've made some adjustments in the server. For example I set min and max JVM Heap size to 2048.

Any ideas what I can do to get things running with more stability?

I have ColdFusion 10 Developer edition. It has update 10: version number is 10,10,10,284825. The server does not run scheduled tasks. If I choose "run" from the scheduled tasks window, it says "the scheduled task was completed successfully," but does not do anything. The task is supposed to create a log file. When I run the CFM file manually (by typing its location in the browser), it runs. What am I doing wrong? One more thing - the site uses https, and the certificate may be out of date. Could that prevent CF from reaching the page?

We recently installed and configured a CF10 server on a 08 r2 box. After following the Adobe recommended setup (custom accounts for each of the services - iis, cf) in the lockdown guide and a reboot, cfm pages are no longer properly handled (redirected).

The web server trace identifies this as the root problem:

144. CALL_ISAPI_EXTENSION

Warning

145. -MODULE_SET_RESPONSE_ERROR_STATUS 

We've already made sure that exe rights are provided for the IUSR (as well as cf and iis) to both that .dll as well as the entire folder.

We have also tried changing the handler mapping (invoke only if req is mapped to file/folder) as well as it's access config (none, script, exec).

The only time we get a different error mesage is when we disable the *.cfm mapping - which rightly so yields a 500 or a 404 error message.

By not processing .cfm page correctly the cf admin is not accessible either.

Any ideas on this would be appreciated.

p.s. there is no subcode (substatus) to the 403.

After a mail server problem,

I have many undelivered mail in the Coldfsuion Mail "undelivr" directory.

The Mail server is up again

Is there a possibility to resend all these mails ?

I tried a copy/paste of mails into the "spool" directory

but these mail are resent into the "undelivr" directory

and new mails are sent correctly.

Thanks for help.

Pierre.

So I tested my server before I implemented live and everything worked just fine. So after I entered the license key all my “ColdFusion Collections” were gone and my search pages are throwing a 500 error.

This is what I get inside CF11

-------------------------

The Solr indexing engines allows you to easily develop search capabilities for your ColdFusion applications. A Solr collection is a group of information that can be indexed and searched as a set. Use this form to create and manage your Solr collections.

Ensure that you have installed ColdFusion Search Service and it is running.

Thank you!

I'm executing a CFEXECUTE statement in a CFScheduler job that is supposed to C:D a file from one Windows Server to another Windows server.

I've built the C:D batch job correctly and can run it successfully from the CMD prompt (by double clicking on the .bat file name).

Here is my statement:

<cfexecute name="C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe" arguments="/c E:\inetpub\WWWROOT\Tips\ScheduledJobs\tips_to_tws.bat"

The job ends without any errors, but I get a C:D error - LAPP010I - Submit file open failure. CCODE=8 FDBK=0

So my thought process is this:  when I go and execute the C:D command by double clicking on it alone - it is taking my id/password as the submitter.  This is evident by looking at the C:D logs.

And when I execute the CFScheduler job, that runs the CFEXECUTE command, it uses XXXXXX id to run the C:D command.  So my question is - what is the XXXXXX id?  I don't have ColdCusion running on a special service account, so I'm not familar with what id it would be associated with.  So any help would be appreicated.

Hello,

Has anyone else tried to use CF with Java 8 preview? If you have tried Java 8 preview have you noticed anything interesting?

Something to share. Java 8 uses memory differently to Java 7 or 6 (reminder Java 6 is EOL). The non heap memory Permanent generation has been done away with and is now consumed in a new memory space called Metaspace. I guess that will mean CF folks will not see the dreaded “java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space” in coldfusion-out.log anymore.

For interested readers here is my CF10 Summary part:

I should add Java 8 is preview and not officially support by Adobe CF so do not install it on your CF production or any environment that you rely on.

Java 8 release is expected March 2014. That might seem a long way off but like the previous Java 7 release can creep up on you rather quickly.

Regards, Carl.
