Our server just started bouncing to our maintenance page and I'm getting a weird error when I login to the server anr run any box commands. CommandBox 5.9.1 on Windows behind IIS. I'm feeling quite lost about where to start.

What does your

serverInfo.json

look like in

Users\xxx\.CommandBox\server\{{someID}}\lucee-{{someVersion}}

? The error suggests that it's somehow truncated or corrupted.

We have a different home location and the file there is just server.json...

It may well be simplest to do

server forget

then

server start

- that should regenerate the config (I think). Alternatively you could post in #C06TSRXCJ and wait for the USA to wake up 🙂

The

server forget

triggers the same error 🙃 Thanks so much for contributing. Days like these make me think I'm in the wrong game. Still, first time the server is down in over a decade so that's good I guess.

https://github.com/Ortus-Solutions/commandbox/blob/development/src/cfml/system/services/ServerService.cfc#L3002 yeah server forget calls getServers() which is where your issue is being thrown. You could try and rename the server home folder, then just try server start.

Same error 😑

Ah, ok, think I've worked it out. there's a

servers.json

file which references all the servers in the system. You could try backingup that file, then changing the contents to

{}

, then trying server start

Well, it started. I'm not sure what it started 😃

Basically, as you removed the definition of that server, it started a new one. So you should see a second server home folder next to the old one now ( which can be removed)

I don't see the new server (same old folders). Everything looks to be back up. I'll keep digging and testing. You don't play with this stuff for a couple of months and I've forgotten everything. 🤓

Well, the important part is the service is back up 🙂

So far all tests coming back green. Great work persevering @neokoenig Thanks SO much.

Yes, the

servers.json

had gotten truncated for some reason. The power may have been lost while writing the file or something
