ColdFusion 10 Update 14 causes an application pool stoppage on one of our 2012/IIS8.5 servers. Has anyone else had any issues? We had to roll back to update 12.

Regards,

Mark

I am running an application on ColdFusion 8. About twice a month, some parts of my application stop working. The error recorded in in the application log files is the following:

"null null <br>The error occurred on line 149., http://mywebsite.com, /mypage.cfm?id=MYID"

When I look at the line number, it refers to a line containing a cflocation. Any other line numbers recorded during the outage also refer to a line containing a cflocation. A restart of ColdFusion always clears the problem.

Any clues as to why the cflocation tag might all of a sudden start throwing a null null error? This part of the application does not use sessions and during the outage, any program containing the cflocation tag fails at the cflocation line number. After a ColdFusion restart, these same programs are running fine...

Any ideas? Thanks!

I have the developer's version of ColdFusion 8 installed on a Vista 32-bit computer. It is installed as a stand-alone server. Usually it starts automatically when my computer starts, but now it doesn't. So I tried to start it manually and this it what I got:

"Windows could not start the ColdFusion 8 Application Server on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to server-specific code error 2."

Having Googled for a while and not finding any solutions that worked, I did a system restore to 2 days ago (I'm pretty sure ColdFusion was working then). This did not work. So I uninstalled and delete ColdFusion, then re-installed it under IIS (for irrelevant reasons). Still the same error, which is over my head why the error would still be there. So after that didn't work, I did another system restore to a point where I know ColdFusion worked. Still I get this same error. (It is now a stand-alone server again since the last system restore undid the new installation)

Does anyone have any suggestions? Most of the treads I found while searching were relating to Coldfusion 7 or lower and didn't help me out, and the few I did find concerning ColdFusion 8 didn't fix the error.

If you need anymore info please just let me know.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

I have a strange problem. I have a multi instance coldfusion MX 7 server installed on a server. I have several instances created and linked with several IIS websites.

I did it with the java tool webserver configuration tool, but now when I try to add a new link with a new instance and a new website I got the warning message :

No available port could be found for Jrun Server XXXXX proxy service.

I  searched a lot on google but found nothing on that issue

I'm trying to track down why our servers become unresponsive over time.  After about 3-5 hours CF will start to queue requests and the only thing I can do is restart the services.  I'm not seeing any hints in all of our hardware monitoring that it is a hardware related issue.  Our database servers are fine, the load on the systems are fine but after about 3-5 hours, they'll just start queuing and are unable to recover on their own without a restart.  The only hint I've been able to gather is there will be a large number of locked threads.      

Hi all,

First time post on these forums - I do hope you can help!

In our current live environment, we're running ColdFusion MX Enterpise on Windows Server 2003 Enterpise Edition.

I'm trying to upgrade to 32 bit CF8 Enterprise, initially on 64 bit Windows Server 2003 Enterpise Edition. The problem came when trying to access our various CFX tags - they all gave the error "Unable to load library".

After some research, this seemed to point to 16 bit DLLs which could be used in 32 bit, but not 64. Solutions suggested recompiling the DLLs as 64 bit. Not having immediate access to the DLL source code, we decided to try installing CF on 32 bit Windows to see if that worked. But it didn't - still got the same error.

First 5 lines of StackTrace:

coldfusion.tagext.DerivedNativeCFXException: Unable to load library at coldfusion.tagext.NativeCfx.processRequest(Native Method) at coldfusion.tagext.CfxTag.doStartTag(CfxTag.java:113) at coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage._emptyTag(CfJspPage.java:2644) at cftpn2ecfc542199598$funcPROFILE.runFunction(C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\vanilla\WS\tpn.cfc:238) at coldfusion.runtime.UDFMethod.invoke(UDFMethod.java:418) at coldfusion.runtime.UDFMethod$ReturnTypeFilter.invoke(UDFMethod.java:360) at coldfusion.runtime.UDFMethod$ArgumentCollectionFilter.invoke(UDFMethod.java:324) at coldfusion.filter.FunctionAccessFilter.invoke(FunctionAccessFilter.java:56) at coldfusion.runtime.UDFMethod.runFilterChain(UDFMethod.java:277) at coldfusion.runtime.UDFMethod.invoke(UDFMethod.java:463) at coldfusion.runtime.TemplateProxy.invoke(TemplateProxy.java:453) at coldfusion.runtime.TemplateProxy.invoke(TemplateProxy.java:320) at coldfusion.xml.rpc.CFComponentSkeleton.__invoke(CFComponentSkeleton.java:666) at WS.tpn.profile(C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\vanilla\WS\tpn.cfc) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)

Am I right in thinking that therefore this isn't a 16/32/64 bit issue? Does installing 32 bit CF on 32 bit Windows avoid this problem and hence imply that my problem is due to something else?

Any other ideas? Your help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Justin

Hi,

I have problem with fckeditor file browser. When I'm opening file browser I get error message from connector.

Error message:

XML request error: Access is denied (403)

I have set permissions in connectors/cfm/ -folder as "full control" for group "Everyone". This shoud be enough.

Same error message comes when i use Fckeditor supplied with Coldfusion 9 and Fckeditor installed separately.

Server information:

Win Server 2008 R2

IIS 7.5 (with IIS 6 Metabase compatibility)

Coldfusion 9.0.1 developer edition

Fckeditor 2.6.4.1 (supplied with CF9)

Fckeditor 2.6.6

Best regards

Pasi Rouhiainen

CF9 has been installed on  Windows server 2008.

Successfull.

I can see CF9 files on disk C:\ColdFusion9

I have the CFIDE structure installed on disk D:\wwwroot\CFIDE

And when launching :

http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

can't find the file

I tried the Sever IP adress :

http://85.14.138.81/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

same, can't find the file.

Can someone help/explain where could be the problem ?

It seems to be a problem of  IP pointing ?

Thanks for any help.

I do not have the hand on the IP.

Pierre.

Hi,

We're running CF8 Enterprise (two instances) on a Solaris server. I have a scheduled task I set up to send email reminders every morning at 4 AM. If I go into the CF Administrator and run the task manually (e.g. click on the icon that says "Run Now") it runs just fine and everyone gets their email reminders. However when left to its own devices, the task never runs and nobody gets their email reminders. I've tried both deleting the task and re-adding it and deleting it from the first instance and adding it to the second instance, all with the same result. I checked the scheduler log file, and I don't see any errors; relevant lines are:

"Information","scheduler-2","04/27/11","04:00:00",,"[Email Reminders] Executing at Wed Apr 27 04:00:00 EDT 2011"
...
"Information","scheduler-9","04/27/11","04:05:25",,"[Email Reminders] Activating2 on Wed Apr 27 04:05:25 EDT 2011 To run on Thu Apr 28 04:00:00 EDT 2011"

I would appreciate any insights anyone would have.

Thanks!

Windows Server 2008, Coldfusion 9 (32-bit)

Not sure why, but the neo-cron.xml keeps getting re-written to become a 0 byte file. (This file takes care of the scheduler tasks.) It was fine before the 9.0.1 upgrade. Whenever I can't log into the Coldfusion administrator, I need to reload the file from my backup copy, save it and reboot Coldfusion Service.

For those that need a basic neo-cron.xml file because you do not have a backup, I was able to get one from the Internet. Simply use notebook and copy this into the neo-cron.xml located at /Coldfusion9/lib/

<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/><data><array length='2'><struct type='coldfusion.server.ConfigMap'></struct><boolean value='false'/></array></data></wddxPacket>

After you restore your scheduled tasks, be sure to copy it some place where you can restore it from.

It would be nice if I did not have to restore this every few weeks. If anyone has some ideas as to why, I am open to testing.

I have a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise SP2

with Coldfusion 9.01 Standard Developer edition

and MS-SQL 2008 Developer database server.

I use it mostly for testing and development. The system was working just fine, but suddenly it started timing out queries, slowing down etc.

Even when nothing (no application, no schedule task, no sites etc) runs in the system I noticed that it uses 25% - 40% of system CPU.for various period of times. Sometimes for some minutes, sometimes for many hours or days. After this period the CPU falls to 0%-1% again and the system works fine. After some minutes or hours the CPU goes again to 25%-40% for no reason.

When I disabled the service "ColdFusion Application Server" then the CPU goes to 0%-1% and the system works fine permanently.

I say it again, in the system there is no site, no schedule task, no datasource.

In the past all I had in the system was a group of Scheduled tasks. So I deleted all scheduled tasks, I even deleted a datasource to a database I had. So now there is no CF code running in the system. So then why the service "ColdFusion Application Server" uses 25% - 40% of CPU resources ????

Any help ???

In the image below you see the use of CPU (about 25%) and how suddenly it falls to 0%.

In the image below you see the processes in Task Manager.

As you see JRun used 40 minutes of CPU Time in last 7-8 hours in a system that runs nothing !!!!

Any ideas ?????

Hello,

We are having an issue with CPU loading on our server.  It has to do with Client Storage Purge. I see where this issue has been around for a while but could not find a solid solution.  Our sever is running Windows Server 2003 Standard and ColdFusion 8.  There is only one ecommerence website utilizing CF and the database is MSSQL.

The server average CPU usage is between 5% and 10%.  Then this appears in the log; 03/30 05:56:34 Information [scheduler-3] - Run Client Storage Purge.  The CPU usage jumps to 50% to 80% for about 4 to 5 hours.  Then after it settles back down, with in the next few hours it starts over again.

Settings,

ColdFusion Administrator > Server Settings > Client Variables

Select Default Storage Mechanism for Client Sessions is set to Registry

Purge Interval is set to 1 hour and 7 minutes.

Now, my working knowledge of ColdFusion is not at an expert level.  I really do not know what Client Storage Purge is doing, what client variables are being stored and why.

I hope I have included enough information to start the 21 question routine.  Any help with this issue would be appreciated.

David

Hi, I am using cfthread in my application and the cfthread uses one java library to download data from different servers. Generally we download 50-60MB data or 50,000 - 60,000 images in small batches by looping.

Most of the times I facing the issue out of memory for heap.

Below is my JVM settings.

java.args=-Duser.timezone=America/Chicago -server -Xmx2048m -Xms2048m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=600000 -Dcoldfusion.fckupload=true -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=600000 -Xbatch -Dcoldfusion.rootDir={application.home}/ -Djava.security.policy={application.home}/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WEB-INF /cfusion/lib/coldfusion.policy -Djava.security.auth.policy={application.home}/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WE B-INF/cfusion/lib/neo_jaas.policy

Can any one please suggest where do I make any JVM related changes for optimize use of heap memory?

Or How can I able to detect whether any other issue(memory leak) is there in my application?
