Hi everyone,


I using CF Enterprise edition on windows server. 
i have created a instance using the dashboard and when i start that instance i see this error in the coldfusion-out.log file 


There is already a Contentinstance1 running in the contentinstance cluster and i am trying to launch a new instance called "contentinstance2" add it to the cluster 

I have created config for each site selecting the content instance cluster ( using the CF Web config tool )

Just trying to as much information as possible , : )
I am new to this and any help is much appreciated.

thanks,

That is not a cf error I've ever seen before, and I've created hundreds of cf instances and clusters. From looking into those, they're reported outside the cf community as being errors related to axis2, and while the cf web services feature has supported that since cf10, I don't find either a "modules" or "services" folder within any cf instances, as is indicated in axis2 docs that mention those.

 

I'm wondering if you're seeing this error in cf's logs, or perhaps in your OS or web server (apache?) logs. Can you clarify? Do you use anything else that runs web services? 

 

I'm the meantime, perhaps someone else will have more thoughts for you.

Ok. The next thought I have is to ask 1) whether you have a module or services folder within the existing contentInstance1 you refer to, as C:\CF2021\ContentInstance1\wwwroot\WEB-INF?  And 2) what about your C:\CF2021\cfusion\wwwroot\WEB-INF, since that's used by cf as the template to create a new instance?

 

Again, I do not have those two folders under WEB-INF. If you do, then our next step would seem to be to find why it is that you do, if it's atypical. 3) To start, did you create the first instance or did someone else? And how long ago? 

 

Finally, 4) can you clarify what cf version you're running?  And how long have you been running it?

 

Sorry if these seem obtuse questions. Again, it seems an unusual situation, otherwise if be offering answers instead.
