*If I am posting in the wrong spot, please move to proper spot*
I noticed and was able to replicate a memory leak problem with a heavily modded version of Snitz 3.4.04
The first, heavily modded forum is Based on Image forum, which is modded Snitz and I have continued to modify the code beyond Image. I initially thought it was soemthing I did-I am far from a 'good' ASP programmer.
Before I get all the hate messages, I already posted in Image forum's area.
I noticed my dllhost.exe climbing a great deal and forcing me to restart the machine about once a day.
Thinking I modified a bit of code I shouldn't have, I installed another Image forum, perfectly clean, in anotyher folder for another site, and have had the same issue. The dllhost.exe memory climb is directly related to someone accessing the forum. So it is base code.
In reading the various support forums for Snitz/Image/SH, I noticed that there has been discussion about mods that do not properly terminate calls to the Access database, etc. and are poorly written. Can someone tell me which mods those are? If you plan to joke 'the Image forum mod', then please don't bother. Am looking for solutions and will share when I find them.
This problem did not occur with the earlier version of the base Snitz code, 3.4.03. So some mod, mixed with the new base code, is causing a memory leak-anyone without a heavily modded forum catch a particular mod that is causing this leak?
If anyone has any ideas on tools to better identify the page or line of code causing the leak, I am all for trying.
By the way, it is a Win Server 2K box, dual AMD 1800+, 512 meg.
THe main forum might also be of interest to Snitz members, www.argostuff.com which is the support site for a mail server and Argo integrates with Snitz nicely.
Cheers
Greg

You might get a few pointers from here, but basically any modded forum is the responsibility of the developers of that particular forum to debug, theres not a lot of help we can provide you I'm afraid.
First thing I would say to check personally though is that every object created (anything with SET infront of it basically) has an appropriate close statement if required, and is destroyed properly using the SET Object = nothing statement. |
