Coldfusion Server constant slowdown...

Hi there, very new to this so I don't really know what to look for unfortunately...

We are running CF 8 on Windows 2003 server, standard edition and every day, up to 7-10 times per day it stops responding and the application server has to be restarted through Windows 'Services'.

This happens repeatedly every day with no rhyme or reason and no discernible pattern that we have been able to find.  It gets to the point where the simplest possible script won't even run.  Anyone ever come across this problem??  After restarting ColdFusion Application Server, a script that was timing out will run in 1 or 2 seconds as is the norm.

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We are running:

Windows server 2003, standard, SP2

2Ghz processor

4GB ram

CF 8,0,1,195765 Enterprise

JVM: Sun version 1.6.0_04

Cheers

    Where are you storing your client variables?

    The ColdFusion server setting defaults to the server registry to store this information.

    This will cause ColdFusion instability over a short period of time, even if you are not using them, even if your site is not high volume.

    Find the memory leak and|or hanging threads in your code that is filling up the servers memory until it can no longer respond to any future request.

    There maybe other issues, but your code is the number one likely culprit and until it is iliminated by real anaylsis it is what I am going to suggest.

    There are some tools that can help you identify the resource hogs.

    SeeFusion: http://www.seefusion.com/

    FusionReactor: http://www.fusion-reactor.com/fr/

    If you can run your code on a development version of ColdFusion that gives you access to the Enterprise edition server monitor, ColdFusion has some built in tools as well.
