Question

Auto restart of additional CF instances

I added a second CF instance to the CF9 server. It runs fine, but does not 'survive' a server restart.

A manual restart via the jRun Launcher does not always work properly; it often takes several attempts to start the 2nd instance/jRun server. A start via the Instance Manager of the primary CFAdmin screen usually works.

How do I configure the 2nd instance to automatically restart on server reboot. Is there a way to set the 2nd instance as a Service?

THanks...Rick...

    Hello Rick,

    Can you describe your environment? Did you find anything in the error logs.

    Environment: CF9.02 on Server 2008 (fully patched). Have installed the latest CF patches. First instance starts automatically.

    Second instance was created from CFAdmin first instance. Did enable the "Create Windows Service" and "Auto Restart Service", but do not see the 2nd instance in the Windows, Services list.

    On a server restart, I have to manually go into the first CFAdmin, then Enterprise Manager, Instance Manager, and manually start the 2nd instance.  I have also tried using the jRun Launcher, which (on a server restart) shows the 2nd instance as not running. Starting that second instance from jRun Launcher doesn't always work; I usually have to use the Instance Manager to successfully manually start the 2nd instance.

    Didn't see anything of interest in the error logs, but I may not be looking in the right spot.

    Thanks...Rick...
