Question

CF 8 not rendering page, displays a blank page

Okay I have something that started to happen today and it seems others have seen it happening on IE. I try to go to a page on our site it doesn't display anything, just a blank page. If you hit refresh it works fine and continues to work as it should until you close the browser. If you close the browser and try to access the page again you will get a blank screen, refresh fixes it. Nothing in the code or on the server has changed since yesterday. But we have had similar reports of this happening to users hitting a submit button and getting a blank screen. This however is the first time I have been able to replicate the issue. I have tried this issue on IE, Firefox, and Flock and all give the same issue. Also there are no errors and any log files. Anyone know what may be causing this???

    We resolved our problem by adding memory to our server. We had a number of strange problems including the one noted above that were only resolved by restarting CF services regularly. The problems all went away after we noticed our server's physical memory was insufficient and increased it substantially. The application we have running on this server is pretty memory intensive (storing a lot of very large queries in APPLICATION scope variables).

    We've just begun experiencing the same problem on a server that was upgraded to CF 8 in the last week. We get reports from peoeple using both Windows and Mac, IE and Firefox. Any insight that could be provided would be greatly appreciated!

    I found what my problem was. Someone had the output="false" on the onSessionStart in the Application.cfc. So I commented out the onSessionStart and the app works as it should. Then I tried it with output="yes" and have no arguments sent in and the app is working as it should now.

    That is not the problem in our case. The problem seems truly random and relatviely infrequent: I can load a page once and it works, a minute later the same page comes up blank and then a refresh causes it to work again. I actually dismissed the problem as something browser or computer related until I started receiving similar reports from other users on a variety of platforms.
