Question

ColdFusion 9 CFSTAT Won't Stay Checked??

Hi Folks, trying to enable CFStat.  I can't get the CFSTAT or Enable Performance Monitoring check boxes to keep their settings?  I check them, restart ColdFusion and when I log back into the CF Administrator, they are not checked?!  I've read a lot of posts on this problem and tried multiple things (like manually editing the neo-metric.xml file) but nothing works.  I've got multiple 9.01 Enterprise servers and it is the same on all of them.

Is there any fix for this?  It works great on my CF 8 Enterprise servers, just CF 9 fails??   Thanks in advance.

    hi Brad,

    Just bit of a sanity check - CF9.0.1 with CFSTAT OK:

    Not sure what to suggest. Was  the CF9 install fresh or upgrade of existing CF8?

    Keep your chin up, Carl.

    Thanks for everyone's comments.  I never got anything to work, however, I uninstalled CF and reinstalled, in so doing, I moved up to the 64bit version of CF rather than the 32bit version (which I had been using) and CFStat now works!  I'll never be able to prove what was wrong before but at this point and with all the time I've spend trouble shooting, I don't care anymore.  Thanks again for everyone's help!

    I also thought it was strange that CFSTAT was enabled by default on my latest installation and I had installed into a new folder and with that different version (64bit).  I thought it odd that the 32bit version installed by default with CFSTAT disabled.  I don't think it picked up on the old install since after uninstalling the 32bit vesion, I renamed the coldfusion9 folder to coldfusion9.old and then did a fresh install to \coldfsuion9\.

    Hi Brad,

    check neo-metric.xml file:

    Does it say:
    <var name='cfstat'><number>1.0</number></var>

    Then change it to:
    <var name='cfstat'><string>true</string></var>


    And or this:

    <var name='cfstatport'><number>1.0</number></var> to

    <var name='cfstatport'><string>7999</string></var>

    After XML file change restart CF and try enable CFSTAT.

    HTH, Carl.

    Thanks Carl, I've got the following values:

    <var name='cfstat'>

    <string>true</string>

    </var>

    <var name='cfstatport'>

    <string>7997</string>

    </var>

    I've tried running cfstat with the -port option and passing it a value of 7997 but that never does anything except generate the same error that tells me it can't connect.  Thanks again.

    Can you try running CF as an application, to see (a) whether you still have the same problem, and (b) if so, what gets dumped to STDOUT?

    Can you see if the neo-*.xml files are locked using a Windows tool like Process Explorer?

    Thanks Dave, I'm not sure what you mean by running CF as an application.  I have standalone installations running under both Windows and Linux (no J2EE or Clustering or anything fancy like that).  I don't have process explorer handy but I can inspect the file permissions on neo.xml files and the system account has full control of them.

    I mean, starting CF from a command prompt rather than running it as a service, using cfstart.bat for a standalone install I think.

    As for the Process Explorer bit, I was more interested in whether the files were locked than who owned them. But I think the correct Sysinternals tool is File Monitor actually, not Process Explorer.
