Issues with IIS Worker Process (BonCode Connector?)

I’ve been having difficulty for about a month now with IIS Worker Process
(w3wp.exe). For some reason it seems to randomly spike up to 100% cpu and
prevents web requests from responding. It never seems to recover until the
application pool is restarted. Then it runs great for 30 seconds or so and
then spikes again. It might cycle through this process for 30 minutes or so
and then be fine for a few days, then I’ll get a text message from AWS that
the site’s down in the middle of the night with the same issue. This seems
to correlate to around the time when we migrated from Railo to Lucee but
I’m not sure that was the cause or not. I tried looking for an install
package for the latest release of the boncode connector, but it looks like
riaforge is shutting down. Any pointers or ideas on where to look would be
a great help. Is there a boncode error log? We’re on Lucee 4.5.3.018 final

This exact thing is happening on my VPS I host with Hostek (You wouldn’t
happen to work for them, would you?)

Thanks for the replies guys, I’ll take a look and report back if upgrading
the BonCode connector and or Tomcat resolve the issue. We’re hosted on
AWS, so another VPS but different host & network. Yes we have IIS linked
to Tomcat 7 via the Lucee 4.5 windows install pkg.On Wednesday, August 31, 2016 at 8:30:56 AM UTC-7, Jace Coleman wrote:

sorry for this but the link has changed slightly:

Latest connector download:

I just updated the connector on riaforge.
Guess I will have to put up a download site.
You can download latest version here:

Since RiaForge is no more.
I put up a site for future use:

http://www.boncode.net/boncode-connector

Now, I have to see how long google takes to reference this.

@Bilal

I think we may have a similar problem here. Our symptoms are similar to
those described above. Lucee, Tomcat etc still appear to be running but all
of our IIS worker processes are apparently idle.

Maybe this could be the connector. We are currently using Version 1.0.25.
Our settings in server.xml are as follows.

<Connector port="8009" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" 
maxHeaderCount="200"/>

I would welcome your thoughts.

Kind Regards

Joe

Glad to hear you got it working.

Nevermind, got it figured, thanks!

Hi Bilal,

Does running the “Connector_setup.exe” update the connector automatically?
How can you verify which version of the connector is actually in use?

thanks,
Dan B.
