I have several websites on WinCF, and all of them are taking forever to load, if they ever do. I usually get the <. once they do open.
www.wheretoliveafter50.com is the one I’m most concerned with.
Anyone else having this issue?
The slowdown lasted about 20-25 minutes. Might have been one of the CF ODBC reboots mentioned in another thread. These are REALLY getting aggravating! We see the “<.” at least 4-6 times a day when we try to access the site. I just wonder how many visitors I’m losing each day because of this CF glitch!
I normally see the <. a few times per day, your number sounds about right. Usually, after a minute or two, the Coldfusion services restart and everything is fine for awhile. Other times last much longer. 16 December was a bad day, click here. I must say that most of the time-out periods are normally short.
My sites on Wincf experinced the “<.” again this morning, followed by “Service Unavailable”, followed by being completely offline. This lasted a total of about 5 minutes. I contacted Live Support to find out what I could and was told that it was a “Load Issue”. I asked if this is something to regularly expect and was told “no”.
The question I would like to pose here is what are the cause(s) and what is being done to reduce frequency or do away with the “<.” issue? As a reseller, my clients are asking about this and I would like to give an informed response and be able to relate to them what they can expect from me, in regards to the services they are paying for.
To them, this “<.” issue is really a big deal.
I’d like to know if anyone from Jodohost has contacted Macromedia about this issue to see if this is a common problem in a shared environment, and what might be done to correct it. I had 3 emails today from people asking if our site was down, because all they saw was “<.” - not good for business! And it is only my sites on WinCF that have this problem. I have sites on Win6, and they have yet to experience this “<.” thing. So what’s the difference?
