Thank you for this wonderful forum - The one I host is currently going through though problems - It doesn't show up and I have the error
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113' time running out... it is extremly slow.
This problem shows up once in a while (every 4 month) and lasts few hours until it goes back to normal speed - Now it's been more than 24 hours and still no sign of life.
I dont remeber the version I have ... I got it september 2002.
Any suggestion/comment
Will downloading the new version solve this problem? Will downloading the new version upset any previous content?
Im not too computer savvy - thank you for your patience, M.
Usually a reboot of the machine will bring it back to life. The IIS process starts to kill itself over time and requires a restarting to free up memory. I think you'll find this on any ASP intensive app no matter the version. I ran Snitz on a hosted server years back and I would have to send them an email every week or so that it needed to be rebooted. Since 90% of their hosted sites were static content only, it never affected them.
your asp code should not really cause that kind of problem. This forum has been running on this server for about 3 years and has never required a reset because it killed IIS. And IIS should definately NOT kill itself over time, unless it is executing dodgy code which Snitz isn't.
Three years without a reboot? Someone call Microsoft for an award!
I know that's not what your saying and I wasn't blaming the forum. What I've seen is faulty handling in IIS for some reason or another that almost always causes the process to get out of control when running any intensive ASP apps.
Just yesterday, I saw the application on Win2003 jump to 250MB for no apparent reason and start giving me slow DB returns and the "C0000005 trappable error" message until I restarted the process. This is the reason MS developed the worker process isolation and recycling for IIS6.
I didn't say the server had not been rebooted, just that it had never required one because IIS had died.

Which is generally caused by bad ASP code. The Snitz forum does not have any bad code that would cause this behaviour. All the problems I have had where IIS did cause this behaviour, were fixed by isolating the culprit site and fixing it's code or moving it from an access backend to a SQL backend.
The webhost is hosting the whole website (which includes the forum) - and only the forum behaves this way. They claimed they reseted the server - it still doesnt solve it
hello again - the forum is down again and here is the reply from the webhost:
quote:The forum is loading however it is slow in producing the data. This is because you are using an access database as the backend, The access database is currently too big to run effectively in a shared hosting environment.
In light of the problems with Timeouts etc we can only advise that you use an SQL database instead of Access.
- I never archived my posts - Can this be the reason? - Is it possible to have a SQL database with Snitz
