After my laptop froze yesterday I rebooted, and now the ColdFusion 9 Application Server service starts and restarts endlessly! Although it's set to start automatically, upon bootup it does not start. So I start it manually. Then I look at the Windows Event Viewer which reports:
The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service for the "coldfusion" server was started. PID is 5788.
That's good. But then, about 9 seconds later, Event Viewer reports:
The ColdFusion 9 Application Server service for the "coldfusion" server is restarting.
16 seconds later, the Event Viewer reports that the service has, in fact, started again. And 9 seconds after that, it reports that the service is starting again.
Unless I manually stop the service, this cycle continues, with the CF service restarting itself every 25 seconds, give or take a second. Needless to say, I can't use ColdFusion. When I try to reach a page, I get error 500: There is no web application configured to service your request
I am running the developer edition of CF9, Windows. Computer behaves normally otherwise.
[Edit]
The coldfusion-out.log includes this:
Server coldfusion ready (startup time: 9 seconds)

The detailed error report, C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\bin\hs_err_pid5456.log, has a ton of information, but I don’t understand much of it. I’ll be happy to post it all if you think you might be able to make heads or tails of it.
In the event that the only solution is to reinstall CF, can you tell me where to find the config files? I know I will need jrun-web.xml (and I know where it is), but where, for example, are the datasource definitions found? I can’t seem to find any folder or file with the settings from the CF Admin. (The CF Admin won’t run, so I can’t view them that way.)

I had installed ColdFusion 2018 recently and with the installation less than a month old (and my understanding of the technology even less), my Cold Fusion service has stopped working. I have tried a number of things and have referred to a number of articles and out of many such errors where the service is not being accessible, some of them were able to get it resolved. However, some other obscure reason that may be causing this error have been untouched and unknown.
Whenever, I try to restart the service, I get an error as shown below:
Windows could not start the ColdFusion 8 Application Server on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to server-specific code error 2.”
Without much understanding, I started to google it out. Looking into every one of these posts, I tried
Configure JRE and try to relaunch the service by looking at "JAVA_HOME" variable and JVM.config
Run the batch files in every possible combination to find if anything clicks
Check if the present JAVA version works and is compatible with Coldfusion version installed
Fiddling with the "SessionStorage" var in neo-runtime.xml file as some suggested
and few other tricks coupled with a numerous service restart attempts and a few machine reboots as well.
A service that renders Cold Fusion pages should be shut down abruptly. To add to agony, the CF Admin also depends on the service and hence does not work.
Any pointers to any potential solutions?
I'm seeing errors in StackDriver logging for my Compute instance. The logs are showing repeated issues every hour, creating a lot of noise. I have a Spring Boot API deployed in a container to a VM in Compute Engine using latest stable version of Container OS.
I'm relatively new to GCP and don't understand what is causing this issue, searches have come up empty so far.
Failed to call method: org.chromium.SessionManagerInterface.RetrieveActiveSessions: object_path= /org/chromium/SessionManager: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.chromium.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

The same 3 lines are repeating every hour. Anyone aware of what might be causing this or how to fix/suppress these?
I looked into this error, and as per my findings:
The error message that you have been receiving is a manifestation of Chrome to reliably exit shortly after starting up.
The UI’s job (which encompasses Chrome, the session_manager and the window manager) gets shut down by upstart because of it's thrashing, and when the test tries to restart the session_manager, the session_manager cannot communicate it over to the D-Bus.
The crash collection software in Container OS was originally for Chromebooks (The laptop using Chrome browser). So the code typically expects Chrome and some other related software on the system.
However, Container OS is a server OS, and does not have Chrome. So if Chrome is missing, the software will report some errors. They are actually not real failures, just some verbose error messages.
Overall, It is safe to ignore these logs and continue using your VM Instances.
Hope this helps.
I'm trying to find a way to switch Calabash to next Scenario after noticing a crash
Retrying.. HTTPClient::ReceiveTimeoutError: (execution expired)
Retrying.. HTTPClient::ReceiveTimeoutError: (execution expired)
Failing... HTTPClient::ReceiveTimeoutError
Otherwise it can take up to half an hour before Calabash reestablish connection to Simulator and starts the next Scenario.
half an hour before Calabash reestablish connection to Simulator
This is very unusual and typically indicates a problem with UIAutomation.
Have you seen the Hot Topics page? In particular:
NSLog output can cause apps to become unresponsive during testing.
My best guess is that instruments is hanging for some reason. Below, I provide details about various variables and their defaults that influence launching and connecting the Calabash server.
I don't think that adjusting any of the variables below will make an difference in your case.
Reporting Problems
In the future, please include the details found in the Report Problems section of the Calabash iOS Wiki Home Page.
Environment Variables
You can find documentation about all the Calabash iOS environment variables here.
There are several variables you can use to control how long Calabash will wait for a response.
In Calabash iOS, two things need to happen before tests can begin:
The instruments command-line tool must launch the app and respond that it has launched the app.
Calabash must establish a connection with the embedded server.
You can control how long run-loop waits for instruments to launch the app and report back using the UIA_TIMEOUT environment variable. The default is 10 seconds. Calabash tells run-loop to try 3 times, for a total of 30 seconds. Unfortunately, there are no public API docs for run-loop.
The there are two environment variables that control how long Calabash will try to establish a connection with the embedded server:
CONNECT_TIMEOUT
MAX_CONNECT_RETRY
The default is try to reconnect once every 3 seconds 10 times for a total of 30 seconds.
These two variables are also used every time a query or gesture is made - how long does Calabash wait for the server to reply.
I am using Coldfusion MX8 server and one of the scheduled task was running from 2 years but now suddenly from 01/12/2014 scheduled tasks are not running. When i browsed the file in browser then the file is running successfully without error.
I am not sure is there any updatation or license expiration problem. I am aware that mid of this year Adobe closed the support for coldfusion 8.
The first most common problem of this problem is external to the server. When you say you browsed to the file and it worked in a browser, it is very important to know if that test was performed on the server desktop. Knowing that you can browse to the file from your desktop or laptop is of small value.
The most common source of issues like this is a change in the DNS or network stack that is interfereing with resolution. For example, if the internal DNS serving your DMZ suddenly starts serving the "external" address - suddenly your server can't browse to your domain. Or if the IP served by the server for the domain in question goes from being 127.0.0.1 to some other IP that the server can't acces correctly due to reverse proxy or LB or some other rule. Finally, sometimes the Apache or IIS is altered so that an IP that previously was serviced (127.0.0.1 being the most common example) now does not respond.
If it is something intrinsic to the scheduler service then Frank's advice is pretty good - especially look for "proxy schduler" entries in the log - they can give you good clues. I would also log results of a scheduled task to a file. Then check the file. If it exists then your scheduled tasks ARE running - they are just not succeeding. Good luck!
I've seen the cf scheduling service crash in CF8. The rest of CF is unaffected.
Have you tried restarting the server?
Here are your concerns:
Your File (works since you tested it manually).
Your Scheduled Task (failed).
Your Coldfusion Application (Service) (any changes here)?
Your Server (what about here).
To test your problem create a duplicate task and schedule it. Leave the other one in place (maybe set your new one to run earlier). Use the same file too. See if it completes.
If it doesn't then you have a larger problem. Since the Coldfusion Server sits atop of the JVM there could be something happening there. Things just don't stop working unless something got corrupted or you got compromised. If you hardened your server by rearranging/renaming the file structure to make it more secure...It would break your task.
So going back: if your test schedule works then determine what is different between the two. Note you have logging capabilities. Logging abilities for CF8
If you are not directly incharge of maintaining this server, then I would recommend asking around and see if there was recent maintenance, if so, what was done to the server?

How to restart Coldfusion Application Server when application is timeout?
Currently I have an ColdFusion application that causes server issues. After 1-2 days that serve doesn't respond until a manual restart is done.
I know that I had to find what is going wrong in my scripts and I spend time and time for several weeks.
But pending I would make a script that restart automatically ColdFusion service if it is bugged.
I have not many knowledge in batch script etc.. but I guess that the test would be a request to a .cfm and the response would be serve until a timeout. ?
Has anyone ever met a script like this ?
Config: Win 2k8 Server R2 - Coldfusion 9(.0.0)
Thank you
Two things here
The real way is to fix the issue and you can do that with Fusion Reactor - http://www.fusion-reactor.com/fr/ It will help you monitor and restart and self heal as it needs.
You could create a batch file, and create a Scheduled Task in Windows that ran it.
Using Net Start / Net Stop Commands
net stop "Macromedia JRun CFusion Server"
net start "Macromedia JRun CFusion Server"
Thought this may not always work so I have a batch file:
c:\JRun4\uninstall\KillJRun.exe
net start "Macromedia JRun CFusion Server"
Which works for me.
Your best bet is to use Pingdom or another server monitoring tool. When the server goes down (responds with a 503 error, service unavailable) you may be able to have Pingdom send a response to a PHP script on the server that calls a batch file. I am not sure if Pingdom supports pinging another server is one is down, but you could have Pingdom email to an inbox that your PHP can check every few minutes.
This may end up being more work than figuring out what is wrong with your script though.
Edit: You may want to look at this question. This will only work if the service has stopped, whereas usually when a script crashes ColdFusion it is hanging. If you run the script that crashes the server, then look at the service, if it says stopped, then this may work for you.
The other thing that I would check is the JVM memory. Often times crashes are due to processing large amounts of data from files or the database and the JVM doesn't have the memory to do that.
Nope. It cannot be restart automatically when your CF services/server is hanging. The only one way is to restart by windows schedule.
You could also use Nagios+Plugins to fire a restart script when the service hangs. But following the previous advice & finding out what the problem is is your best bet.
