Eric, please heed the following advice and answer the following
questions to let me help you:

1) Does the error come from cfservd or cfagent or where?
2) If the error comes from cfagent, you are wasting your time disabling
threading. Cfagent does not use threading, This will simply be a waste
of your time.
3) Tell me what version you are using and describe the error clearly and
precisely in every detail. I need to see the offending lines of the
config file in particular,

Without this info, I simply have no context in which to guess where you
error is occurring, I would like to help. but I need info.

best wishes
Mark
