Hi everyone,
I was previously running Snitz with an Access DB (which had grown to be 200MB's) on a shared hosting account at Nexpoint.net, I have 2000 registered members and always had approximately 70-100 users online at the same. OF COURSE Nexpoint shut me down due to "extensive use of server resources" (duh!) :) or as they put it:
quote:
Dear Client,
It has been observed that your site is consistently using more resources than allowed for your current hosting plan. Your site has been observed as the source of several outages in the past and continues to have a negative effect on overall system performance. We understand that there are spikes in traffic and server use, however we have a commitment to all of the clients on this shared server to ensure that they do not experience service interruptions due to one site's server use. If another outage occurs due to your database we will be required to place limits or suspend your site prior to any of the deadlines mentioned below.
So I purchased a dedicated hosting account (at a different hosting company of course), and migrated to SQL. Things seem to be running a lot better now. It's just that I'm very new to both IIS and dedicated hosting, and would appreciate if anyone here who has more experience with IIS could give me some tips. What settings do you recommend ? What should the session option be set to in IIS ? Should the HTTP keep-alive be enabled or not ? Should the buffering option be enabled or not ? What settings should I put for recycling worker processes and such ? Set Time intervals or set a memory limit ?
Also for some reason I have started to have difficulties with the "Active Topics" page ever since I migrated to SQL and moved to the new server. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't ! Sometimes it shows the number of Active Topics but when you click on it returns no active topics. Sometimes it shows the number of active topics and when you click on it does show all the topics, so I'm really confused as to what could be causing this ? Is this related to a setting in IIS ? I suspect it probably has something to do with the settings in IIS because I seem to be having problem loging into the Admin section as well... it repeatedly gives me the login window and I keep trying to login, takes me at least 7/8 times of typing my login credentials to eventually somehow get myself logged into the Admin section!
appreciate any help with all this in advance.

I experienced the same problems, it sounds like your Application Pool is set to more than one process which is great for stateless/sessionless ASP.NET applications but not for ASP applications which require session state.
Check the number of Worker Processes being used in the Application Pool which your site is using. |

THAT DID THE TRICK  Thank you very muchhhh! U Da Man!
Now... what settings do you have for sessions (how many minutes) ? Do you have your HTTP keep-alive enabled or disabled ? what about buffering ? and what settings do you recommend for the recycling options/application health ? |

Mine was running in IIS 5.0 mode because I had so many problems with the IIS 6.0 features. Application Pooling isn't all what it says in my opinion, if a pool crashes it is meant to be isolated from other pools but this isn't the case from my experience.
I've just had Win2003 re-installed because it was originally setup in Application mode rather than Administration mode so i'm going to attempt to setup IIS 6 properly this time.
It's a shame you can't run individually websites in IIS 5 or IIS 6 mode as that would be perfect!
There's plenty of info on Google about setting up App Pools, and don't forget to turn on Compression!! |

There is a way to setup different application compiler directories in app isolation mode. So if you configure websites and their regarding apppools to run under their own identity (which I would recommend anyways) and give every pool its own compiler directory then I would say you have a real isolation of differnt websites.
I don't know the node anymore but it is in machine.config
