The monitoring service is not available

If your CF8 installation starts without error, but returns an error 500 stating something like…

“500 the monitoring service is not available”

…on each request, then probably your neo-monitoring.xml is corrupt. This solution did the trick for me:

-Rename or delete the corrupt {cf_dir}/lib/neo-monitoring.xml
-Restart CF

CF then creates a new neo-monitoring.xml, but totally refuses to work if this file has 0 bytes.

Hi, I cannot find a contact form.
I work with Akismet which I believe is in use here and I would like to discuss this if possible. Could you drop me an email at all please?
