Question

CF4.5 on Linux crashing

In the last week or so the service has started crashing regularly. I'm new to CF so have looked into this like I would any other web app. There haven't been any changes made to code on the server since some time before this started happening. And the logs don't seem to be very helpful.

Is it possible to increase the detail the CF logs include? There's an error right before the most recent time it died as follows:

"Error","TID=2257927","06/24/06","04:59:26","68.142.251.54","Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp)","ODBC Error Code = 37000 (Syntax error or access violation)<P><P> [MERANT][ODBC MySql driver][MySql]You have an error in your SQL syntax near ':' at line 3<P><P><p>The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFQUERY), occupying document position (30:1) to (30:58).</p><P><P>Date/Time: Sat Jun 24 04:59:26 2006<BR>Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Yahoo! Slurp; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp)<BR>Remote Address: 68.142.251.54<BR>Query String: articleid=319:<P>"

This seems to suggest that someone's code maybe using badly formed queries but since nothing seems to have changed its a little strange that it would start happening out of the blue. Is there anything in the error above to suggest which site is causing the error, there are a couple of hundred sites on the server so without knowing which site has caused the error there's not a lot I can do.

Any help gratefully received!!!

    Check that page and if it works then it sounds like you need to write a Search Engine Robot Filter. ie: Deny the bots access to the page that fails. This is easily done by cfif useragent isn't ie or moz then skip the output.

    Hope this helps and solves your troubles :)
