Website won’t work after server restarted…CF 2021...but ok after restarting services....

Just installed CF 2021, new server, migrated cfm code over. Setup external site in IIS. Removed the Default Site. Anytime the server is rebooted, we get a 500 error and a message cannot find component xxx.xxx.cfc. Once we restart the CF service, it all works until the next reboot. I tried both combinations of delayed start on CF and IIS but no change.  Re-reran ws-config (update and also remove/add).  No change.  Anyone seen this strange behavior?

    Extending timeout did not work.  Final solution:

     

    Final solution, remove extends on the sub folder application.cfc and just include it with some manipulation. Old but works:
    Original:
    site\application.cfc
    site\ProxyApp.cfc
    <cfcomponent name="ProxyApp" extends="Application"> </cfcomponent>
    site\admin\application.cfc
    <cfcomponent extends="myApp.ProxyApp">
    ...
    </cfcomponent>
     
    Does not work when server restarted. Why this eventually works after several restarts of CF Server still unknown.
     
    New:
    site\admin\application.cfc
    <!--- Include the root application.cfc. This will include the CFComponent tags and their contents. No <cfcomponent> tag in this file --->
     
    <cfinclude template="../Application.cfc" />
     
    then rest of bennadel changes on renaming the functions, using super and the loop.

    You can try extending the service timeout ihe registry. https://www.codetwo.com/kb/how-to-extend-the-timeout-for-services-if-they-do-fail-to-start/

    The services do start when server rebooted, CF and World Wide Web Publishing.  Just installed latest Java Update but no change.  Still have to restart services after server is up.  I'll take a look at the doc. thX
