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 One more thing - the site uses https, and the certificate may be out of date.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?

i have a coldfusion msSQL server as my testbed and would like the ability to do some wordpress (ugh!)

from what i understand i need to add apache for the php and a mySQL database.

how can i implement this without disreupting what is a perfect running setup

running xp pro sp3

tnx in advance

Hi,

We added few schedulers which runs on daily basis and after few days we found that schedulers did not run and in scheduler.log file found that all misfired. We tried to set option On Misfire = “Fire now”, but we got error:

An error occured scheduling the task.

Advance Scheduling support is not available in this edition of ColdFusion server.

We are using standard edition of CF10, Is there any solutions to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Mamun

Are there any issues / has ColdFusion 10 been tested with the latest Windows Server 2012 R2 version?

Thanks, Henry

Hi,

I was just wondering if there were instructions around on how to install admin components for remote start & stop after installation of CF 10 has been completed?

I'm looking to update some development servers for use with ColdFusion Builder, but I can't find any information on how to install the component on linux after the fact.

I've searched through the installation guide, but haven't come up with anything.

Cheers,

Simon

I recently installed CF11 (Enterprise in Trial mode) on a new Server 2012 R2 system. I have an ERP application that uses a Progress database. I installed the vendor specific 64bit ODBC driver (Progress OpenEdge 10.2B) and configured it in the 64bit ODBC Data Source Mgr on the server. I tested the connection from within the Data Source Mgr and it was successful. When I attempt to create a DSN in CF11 though the vendor specific driver does not appear in the dropdown list. I tried to create a DSN using "ODBC Socket" and filled in the same "Data Source Name" as that used in the OS's Data Source Mgr, but after a minute or so this error appears, "The ColdFusion ODBC Server service is not running or has not been installed." I confirmed that the CF11 ODBC Server and Agent services are running on this server so I am not sure why this error is claiming otherwise.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance on this. I was able to create a MS SQL DSN in CF11 with no problem, so at least some are working.

Thanks,

Kevin

I'm receiving the following error when I try to add a DSN:

The ColdFusion ODBC Server service is not running or has not been installed

In trying to resolve that error, I discovered that other than ColdFusion 10 Application Server, there are literally no ColdFusion services listed -- running, stopped, or otherwise.

1: Is this normal?

2: How do I install, start or register those services? Clearly they're needed.

Service Unavailable error DAILY

What causes this error?

I have done the actions in the adobe blog - no difference

Jakarta/ISAPI/isapi_redirector/1.2.32 ()

Jakarta/ISAPI/isapi_redirector/1.2.39 ()

Jakarta/ISAPI/isapi_redirector/1.2.40 ()

its getting worse.

When is Adobe going to fix this?

Hi,

We have tried to create a HA cluster with requests being distributed round robin to N instances of coldfusion, we are NOT using sticky sessions as we are replication session state to all cf instances. What we are seing is that all is fine with low to moderate load, however under heavy load and at random times the replication fails and leads to things in session scope not working. This manifests in users not being able to login to our application (we store a token in session scope to store logged in status).

Again key point, under low to moderate load it all works fine, users are directed to random nodes in the cluster and their session is picked up fine as the session is distributed to all nodes,so pretty confident config is right.

Linux servers using CF10 with update 12 applied. Also running is fusion reactor 5.04 on all instances. Each instance has a 64GB heap, Java 7.0.15 (latest certified).

Firstly apache setup.

workers.properties

worker.list=balancer, jkstatus

worker.jkstatus.type=status

worker.balancer.type=lb

worker.balancer.balance_workers=cfusion_master,cfusion_slave2,cfusion_slave1

worker.balancer.method=R

worker.balancer.sticky_session=False

worker.balancer.ping_mode=A

worker.cfusion_master.type=ajp13

worker.cfusion_master.host=localhost

worker.cfusion_master.port=8012

worker.cfusion_master.max_reuse_connections=250

worker.cfusion_master.lbfactor=100

worker.cfusion_slave2.reference=worker.cfusion_master

worker.cfusion_slave2.port=8014

worker.cfusion_slave1.reference=worker.cfusion_master

worker.cfusion_slave1.port=8013

Now the server.xml from 2 nodes (as an example if I run a 2 node cluster)

So what do i see in the logs?. Well sometimes I see exceptions like this

I'm unsure why this happens as tribes uses certified mesaging so it should have resent right?, in any case I believe I can change it so messages are not sent asynchronously, should sort this out.

I see (good) messages like this

So session state dies appear to be flying around the cluster, I do nightly restarts of some of the nodes due to another issue I have with an ever growing heap (separate issue), interestingly I also see nodes leave and join the cluster, again this is good (shows the multicast is working, and also that replication should be working).

So stuck now on how to proceed, to establish why at random times the replication fails, leading to cluster collapse. Could it be the size of the session?, I have a few CFCs stuffed into session scope, but perhaps when the load is high there is too many?. Things fail even with a cluster of 2 on one server, initially I had a 8 node cluster on 2 separate machines but when it failed it rolled it back to a cluster of 2 instances on the one server to see if that was stable (its not 100% which is what I need).

Any advice, points gratefully received.
