Hello all, i've been having some problems lately. I switched my site over to windows 2003 about two months ago and now I find that IIS is crashing every once in a while. Something about a hanging worker process. A major problem is that two of these times, once today and once about three weeks ago, the ASP engine just stops working and the site goes down. I have to restart IIS to get it working. I have IIS Crash and Hang installed, the Microsoft debugging tools. Problem is I don't know how to get to the bottom of what is crashing it. I see the logfiles but I don't get what is going on in them.
Does anyone have any experience in this or ever used this program? Any suggestions on this crashing? I haven't tried running it in IIS 5 isolated mode, and I don't really want to either.
Set the application pool to recyle a little more frequently can sometimes avoid it. At the end of the day though if the worker process is failing it's often caused by bad code, particularly not destroying objects etc.
Rapid fail protection caused me a lot of headaches in the past. If too many errors happen too often, the application pool and website are shut down. I had to disable rapid fail protection before the headaches went away.
