CFMX7 Takes 10 minutes to start

[GuitsBoy]

Okay, heres the deal, I have three identical servers running red hat enterprise
linux 4 update 4 (well, actually CENTOS 4.4, but close enough) Coldfusion MX
7.0.2 and apache 2.0.52.

For the longest time I thought CF was completely broken, but actually it just
takes forever to start up. I always have to manually kill CF because the stop
script just hangs and fills the screen with dots. Then I have to start CF
server. Then I need to restart httpd. At this point ill get an error 500
screen for approximately ten minutes before admin will finally connect.

The pertinent snippet from the cfserver.log file is as follows:

03/06 13:37:21 Error [main] - Unable to initialize FlexAssembler service:
coldfusion.flex.FlexAssemblerService$UnableToRegis terServe
rExcepton: Unable to register Flex Assembler Service in RMI registry:

0.207; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed

Any Ideas?? Thanks so much!

Nevermind...

Apparently I had overwritten the updated /etc/hosts file with an older one
with old IP addressing in it.

Anyone experiencing slowdowns or non-responsive control scripts, check your
/etc/hosts file to see if teh servers host name maps to a bad IP.
