MX 7 / SQL 7.0 Conflicts

Question

We are running Cold Fusion MX 7.0.2 on a Windows 2003 server.
We are having problems with the HTTP service on this server
shutting down. A re-boot fixes the problem but then it fails again
in about a week.
The data sources for our web sites are stored in SQL Server
7. Does anyone know if there are problems using the SQL 7 ODBC
driver provided with MX 7?

The webserver connector tries to forward the request to JRun
and that
fails. This is a symptom, the cause is the failure in JRun.

Don't use ODBC. The manual explicitly recommends against it.
Use a
direct JDBC connection.

Nothing special here. If you have sufficient memory in the
box you can
up the heap size if you want. A stack dump of JRun in an
unresponsive
state would help more.

Upload your *-out.log somewhere and I'll have a look.
