Hello,

i have a windows 2003 server with only 2 sites on it but sometime the IIS crash, how can i check the cause of the problem? in the Event Viewer i cant find nothing

thx

Crash meaning the ASP fail to function? If so try to create a separate app pool for each. It will be easier to trouble shoot

Hey,
Can you explain us what are you reffering to with the word "crash" with some more explanation ..!
Do you have considerable enough memory for your server as well ?

i have 1 Gb of ram and only 200Mb in use, with the word "crash" i mean that i can't open sites and if i restart IIS all the sites come back online

thx

Almost always IIS won't "crash" usually the problem lies in the application that is actually running on the site...

IIS will usually recover during the recycle proccess phase (you can lower the recycle rate but, thats simply a bandaid to the problem)

If it is the application you'll need to audit these apps to see where the problem is (what are the apps btw, custom or purchased?)

Have you tried splitting the sites into their own "Application Pools"? That way you could narrow down the issue to one site. From there though you'd need to figure out if it is one script/application or a multiple conflicting with each other. Good luck with this.

cheking again the Event viewer i have found these erros:

The registry key for IIS subauthenticator is not configured correctly on local machine, the anonymous password sync feature is disabled.


A process serving application pool 'DefaultAppPool' exceeded time limits during shut down. The process id was '3568'.

Application pool must have hanged. Recycling the application pool solves the problem.
