CF9: Cannot Stop Server

[azimuthinternet]

I can't stop the CF server by the usual means. In fact, even abnormal means don't work. Even a kill -9 isn't doing it. This isn't going to be convenient when I need to restart the server for various admin settings.

When I send the 'stop' or 'restart' arguments to the /opt/coldfusion9/bin/coldfusion script, it says it's stopping ColdFusion but then just makes dots ................................................................................................................................. forever. It never says it's hanging and gives up and stops it non-gracefully like it used to do for me on CF MX. Also, sending an interupt (Ctrl-C) does not prompt it or prod it into action; rather it appears to just abort the process of attempting to shut it down.

Anyy thoughts?

The solution to this problem was the same as described here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4339084#4339084

Basically, I needed to add my internal IP to my /etc/hosts file. Amazingly simple fix for such an obscure and frustrating issue.
