    CF11 services won't restart

      I have 2 Windows Server 2012r2 boxes that I'm setting up. One is an RDS machine for some Devs to log onto and they other one will be a Production server for running scheduled tasks (separate from our main production server). The issue I've run into is that for some reason Coldfusion11 will no longer restart. If I restart the Server it is fine, but a restart after that it just stalls. I've checked all the logs I can and non show an error except for a Windows Event error that says:

       

      The description for Event ID 261 from source ColdFusion 11 Application Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

       

       

      If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

       

       

      The following information was included with the event:

       

       

      ColdFusion 11 Application Server

      240

      C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\bin\coldfusionsvc.exe

      ColdFusion 11 Application Server

       

       

      the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table

      And another that says:

       

      The description for Event ID 263 from source ColdFusion 11 Application Server cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

       

       

      If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

       

       

      The following information was included with the event:

       

       

      ColdFusion 11 Application Server

      6652

       

       

      the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table

       

      Note that while the Event IDs are consistant on each respective server, they are different between the 2 servers.

       

      I even tried a reinstall on our RDS machine and during the re-install it wouldn't even start up the service during the install. I had to restart the server to get it to start.

       

      I have nothing installed on the Utilities server and the only thing on the RDS is CF11, CFEclipse, CFBuilder, and SSMS 2014.

       

      Any help would be appreciated as I am under a deadline to get these two servers up and running. I can get any log details needed to get this resolved.

       

      Thanks,

      Frank

          Hi Frank,

           

          Maybe after server uptime memory is allocated and CF can't get sufficient memory for the heap to start.

           

          Perhaps log details in ColdFusion11\cfusion\logs for coldfusion-out and coldfusion-error for that date time will be interesting when CF does not start after some server uptime.

           

          You could also try start CF from administrator CMD prompt. The CMD window may provide an error that could be useful for debugging:
          - cd \ColdFusion11\cfusion\bin
          - cfstart.bat


          HTH, Carl.

            Thanks for the suggestions Carl. The issue is that the service never starts fully and it never shows an error or reason in the coldfusion logs (that i can see). A re-install is no good. I am about to try CF10 in hopes that I can at least get that going as this is a time sensative issue. I've been installing CF since MS and I have never had this issue.

             

            Here is the coldfusion-out log for one of the servers:

            I did also try starting it manually, it gets to the point where it says the same as the last line in the coldfusion-out log but just hangs there and never does anything. I can't access CF or the Administrator.

             

            The most confusing part is that I know for a fact that 1 of the servers had no changes to it between it being operational and not operational. It is also intesting to note that on one of the servers a restart will allow the CF services to all start as the other one will not let the services start at all.

             

             

            I will note that both of these are running IIS8.5.

              Hi Frank,

               

              Please try the following:-

               

              1. Stop ColdFusion service
              2. Launch Command prompt as Administrator
              3. Browse to cf_root\cfusion\bin and run the following command coldfusion.exe -start -console
              4. Try to access the CF admin, once the services are started.

               

              In case it gives an error message, please share the same.

               

              Regards,

              Anit Kumar

                Hi Anit,

                 

                There was no service to stop because the service never starts. I get this message:

                5-29-2014 11-31-36 AM.png

                 

                And eventually the service goes from "starting" to not running.

                 

                When I run the command you provided, I only get:

                C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\bin>coldfusion.exe -start -console

                and that is it. It just sits there. I can't access the CF admin. The web page just sits there like it's loading something.

                 

                I have installed CF10 on one of the servers so our Devs can continue testing, but we would rather have CF11. CF10 is running just fine without any of the issues. I have kept CF11 on the other machine in hopes that we can fix this.

                 

                I would like to note that this was working just fine on this server and no changes have been made to this server between the time it worked and the time it stopped working. I know cf11 checks for updates, but is it possible it automatically installs updates?

                  Ok, so I left the command prompt open on that server confident that it would lead to no where. The command prompt finally showed that CF started, but it took 15 minutes! CAn this be correct? I don't think windows will let the service try and start for that long and even if it did, why would it take 15 minutes?

                   

                  Here is the last line from my last comment and then the rest of the output from the command prompt:

                    Are you able to access CF Admin now? what does task manager show for ColdFusion process?

                      Yes, I can access the CF Administrator now. The Task manager shows this:

                      My concern now is that it takes 13-15 minutes for CF to start up, much longer than the "service" will let it (it seems to time out when starting it as a service).

                        It seems like it, took 12 minutes approx from registering PDFgServlet till start.

                        Usually, it should not take that long. To manage the windows service in this scenario, try the option in screenshot below:-

                          Since the Service never actually starts, that option does not trigger. Is there anything I can set so I can see what is happening in that 12 minutes interim between those 2 steps?

                                Carl, that is for the new CF11 PDF features I believe. It's one of the reasons we want to go with CF11. If however we can't figure this out soon, we will be going with CF10.

                                 

                                Anit Kumar Panda, Thanks for the suggestion. I have emailed cf install support.

                                  @Sir, any update on your challenge since last week?

                                   

                                  If not, here’s a thought on your question below: is this a Standard, Enterprise, Trial, or Developer edition of CF? If it’s one of the latter 3, you could get a stack trace of running threads which may also help identify where time is being spent. You’d do it from the Server Monitor (accessible within the CF Admin, except in CF Standard). On it, go to the snapshots tab, and trigger a snapshot (while in that period of waiting for CF to come up).

                                   

                                  The snapshot will include, in the bottom 90% of the resulting file, the thread dump, which is a point in time display of the current state of all threads. I’m not saying it will be easy to discern anything, but it’s something to consider and perhaps to share with Adobe. (It will be huge, so please don’t dump the text here in a message of the thread but rather use the attachment feature, accessible if you view these forums in the web interface rather than by email.)

                                   

                                  There may be still other tools you could use to see, from the OS perspective, what file i/o may well be holding things up. I prefer to use Process Monitor in a situation like this. It’s free from Microsoft, but it’s like giving you a gun if you’ve not been taught how to use it. You must be very careful to read its docs before using it.

                                   

                                  You may also find that it’s some sort of port conflict, but I’d expect your error logs to have shown that and we saw none in your various error messages shared.

                                   

                                  It’s odd that your problem is one we’ve not heard others encounter. That would make me think it’s related to something on your end rather than some inherent CF11 problem (but we won’t know for sure until it’s understood better). I will say that if you remain unable to get things working and still want to understand it, there are folks who do CF server troubleshooting for a living (myself included), and I list them (yep, myself and others you can consider) in a category of my CF411.com site, at cf411com/cfconsult. But I realize you’ll likely for now regard this as a CF bug for which you don’t care to pay for help resolving. Just offering it as another option, in addition to all the above.

                                    Hi Charlie,

                                     

                                    One is Development the other is a Trial of Enterprise as that is what we were planning on getting for our Utilities server. My issue with getting the stack trace is that CF won't start under normal circumstances. If this will help though, I can get CF running via console and generate the stack trace and post it back here. I'm not sure however, how I would get into the server monitor if CF isn't started up because I can't access the Admin until Cf is up and running.

                                     

                                    I'm currently dealing with Adobe directly since the issue has not been resolved. I find it odd that it's my environment because 2 different fresh installs of Windows Server 2012r2 both exhibit the same issue. One of those servers is running on the bare minimum. I will say that these 2 servers are acting as more than just Web servers. They both have the Active Domain Controller and DNS roles installed as we needed these for our new SQL Cluster and these 2 servers were available and not public facing (one is a production machine for background CF processing, but is the fallback for the other server). I may try and remove these roles just to see what happens on the backup server, however since they did work with these roles installed, I'm not sure this will work. This is a very confusing issue and the first time in my 15 years of CF that I've had issues installing  and running it.

                                     

                                    I will say that I had all these roles installed before CF and upon installing CF the first time, there were no issues whatsoever. I'm not discounting my environment, but without actually doing a complete re-install of Windows to see if that is the case, I don't know where to go from here. Anit Kumar Panda is helping me via phone and is currently trying to reproduce my problem by installing CF11 on a 2012r2 server at Adobe.

                                     

                                    I'm also curious why other's aren't having this problem, but with both of these being the newest version of their respective products I assume that there is just not a lot of people running this configuration which might explain the reason.

                                     

                                    I will state that CF10 installs and runs just fine so far on the machines. I really wanted cf11 though so that we could move up to the newest. At this point, however, we are looking at going to CF10 to just get us going as this is a time sensitive project.

                                     

                                    On a side note, Charlie Arehart, I'm glad to see you've hopped on this thread. I worked for a company you helped out a few years ago and got us all straightened out. It was unfortunate that during that time I was working remote so I was not able to meet you in person. I would love to engage you (or someone else) to help us, but unlike my old employer, my new one is a lot smaller and at this point, if CF10 just "works", then they will likely go that route than putting money into trying to fix something that in their minds "should just work" (which I tend to agree with). If this was an issue with legacy code that was poorly written or an over taxed CF install that was failing to perform, then I think a consultant would be necessary. At this point though, this is all new code that is not very taxing and is only being run on demand for testing by Developers under my watch (So I know the code shouldn't at least be at fault). Couple that with it should be able to at least start the service faster than 12 minutes and I think it's something else. Hopefully Adobe can help me figure this out as I really want to jump to CF11 instead of CF10.

                                      We are having a similar problem using cf 11 Enterprise and Server 2008 R2. Also occurred on CF 11 on Win 7.  The problem seems to have started after a round of server & desk top patching last week. CF 11 was running fine in both environments until then. We are currently trying to isolate the patch that may have caused the problem.

                                          I work with Tim above, there may be a connection with updating Java to version 7 update 55 after installing CF.  We installed CF11 two weeks ago and recently our Java as updated.  Since then I can't get it to start on my development machine (developer edition) or on our development server.

                                           

                                          Adobe says it is certified to run with 7/55 but could this be part of the problem?

                                            We tested this with a fresh installation of Windows server 2012 R2. We are unable to replicate the issue. This looks like a machine/server specific issue.

                                             

                                            This can't be a security issue. The new machine, would have the default java, surely not the latest one.

                                              Is there any way to get more in-depth logs during the 12 minute period that CF seems to be locked up during the startup phase? I honestly think that if that could be determined, the solution will become clear.

                                                Sorry for the confusion re Greg's message. There were no Java updates run during the patching cycle that precipitated the service shut down. All updates were Microsoft updates. We are currently removing the updates one at a time and rebooting and trying to restart the CF server after each removal. I will let you what we find.

                                                  We have made some progress on our local windows 7 development boxes. We have managed to get CF 11 to run by disabling the DHCP Client Service and WinHTTP Web Proxy auto discovery service. So far it appears that these services can be restarted after the cf application service is started.  We haven't been able to get this to work on Server 2008 R2

                                                      Our CF11 Standard (v11,0,0,289822) install on Win2003 R2 just began exhibiting this issue this morning. It was a brand new install, not an upgrade) on May 12th and has been running great. We haven't done any Windows or ColdFusion updates since the original install. We ran coldfusion.exe from the command line as suggested by Anit Kumar Panda, and 5-10 minutes after being hung up on PDFgServlet, similar to Sir_Meili's scenario, services were available - although the the CF Application Service still showed a stopped status in the Services control panel. Curious what triggered this as no changes have been made to the system.

                                                        When we run the coldfusion.exe from the command prompt we can now access the administrator and our site, however as soon as the command prompt is closed the service is no longer available, so this is obviously not a solution

                                                          Command prompt, when closed, will terminate the coldfusion process, hence terminating the ColdFusion application.

I get the same problem, it hangs for around 10 mins on PDFg service manager http://127.0.0.1:8987/PDFgServlet/ registered. and will not start. I then stopped the DHCP CLient and Coldfsuion started no problem.

                                                                However as soon as you power off and then power on the problem returns. Plus we remote into all of our other boxes so turning DHCP off and on is not a solution for us. For the time being all CF11 development and upgrades are now on hold.

IT is something that happens between that and the CF finally acknowledging that it has started.

I can't possibly be expected to pay the data center support to continuously log into my machine and re-enable the card every time CF needs a restart.

I want to try it, but the "higher ups" will just find the hassle too much to bear if we have to this ever time.

We tried installing CF 10 with the CF 11 licenses but they wouldn't work so we went to CF 11.
