Question

No debug output from CF10 on Apache

I am not getting the debug output that should display when  Enable Request Debugging Output is checked. I am not talking about enable robust exception information, which works fine. I am setting up a new Windows 7 computer for development (8MB RAM). I installed CF10 (version 10,283922) running on Apache 2.2.24, connecting to an oracle 10g database over VPN. Debugging IP address is 127.0.0.1. The server is very slow without debugging output and impossibly so with debugging output turned on, and then the output doesn't even display.

My previous Win XP pro computer ran cf8 on IIS with the same database and the debugging output worked. The performance was slow and I assumed it would be better with 64 bits and more RAM. Needless to say I am dissapointed to find that it is slower.

Any thoughts on how to display debugging output or why the performance is so bad?

Thanks

Anne

Thanks for responding to my question. I resolved the issue by adding localhost to c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts. I had tried to do this earlier but I was unable to edit the file becasue I don't have administrator rights on my own machine and run elevated wasn't enough. I found another way to edit the file and now the debugging output is displaying and the performance is where it should be.

In your application.cfc/cfm, do you have <cfsetting showdebugoutput="yes">?

I have it in another file that is early in the flow. Also, I didn't change any code from the installation on my old machine where debug output displayed.

Not sure about the code.  But, if you're experiencing slow performance, when it starts "bogging down", open Task Manager on both your dev system and the server, see what is hogging all the CPU power and/or memory, for both.
