I'm setting up a new windows 2000 server and have run into a problem I've not had before.

IIS is serving pages incredibly slowly :confused:

FTP is fast, mail is fast, even the pages in imail webmail are fast, but anything running from IIS is taking an age - literally minutes to load a page that shoudl take 10 seconds.

This is a brand new server ( I've been running another for a few months without incident ) with only 3 sites set up, each on their own IP and I need some help badly ;)

Ta in advance . . . . .

i am having a similar problem with ftp being fast and iis being a lot slower, its on a fresh server w/all the new updates..

They didn't chug out a recent update that might have caused it did they? I've never run a windows server but I know my desktop has suffered badly under a few 'improvements' from MS before.

dont think so...

anyone else have some idea's?

Not sure if this is it or not. But in IIS in the site having this problem go to the Home Directory Tab and check if Application Protection is set to High, Medium or Low. If its on high put it on Medium and restart the server to see if its better.

Also see what you inetinfo.exe is running at by doing ctrl+Alt+Del then Processes if its higher then 20MB and you have less then 10 to 20 sites then there is a problem some where a APP messing up or some thing.

Let me know if that helps. If not give me some more info and i will see how i can help.. :)

Application Protection is currently set to medium.. .

inetinfo.exe is running at 00 cpu usage and 14,888k


BTW vortech, this is the 1st site on the server itself.. there is nothing else running.. its a fresh install.. and basicly has no traffic and no cgi or asp running..

Its driving me CRAZY :eek:

I figured there has to be some way to tweak IIS or something, but its just not making sence how you can get 7 times faster via ftp then http........

Never seen that before i am lost now with only one site it should load fine.

ditto :)

anyone else please, open to all tweaks and suggestions besides running linux lol ... its just a test server but man its pissing me off

Found the answer to my problem . . . :beer:

The last thing to be installed was webtrends and it installs 2 ISAPI filters, one for cookies and another revdns.dll that is supposed to add reverse lookup capability to the log files.

Removed the revdns filter and all is well.

Woop !!!
