OT: IIS 5 randomly stops serving pages
Hi All, I'm running Win 2K Pro with IIS 5 and have run into a weird problem. Periodically the server will stop server pages (users see Page cannot be displayed). IIS and the WWW service are both running. If I try and restart the WWW service, it will not successfully restart. If I try and stop and start IIS, it will whine while trying to start about something like that whatever is already in use (sorry about the whatever partI didn't write it down). So basically I'm stuck with a server reboot to clear it up. The network connections are fine, and there doesn't seem to be any pattern to the server death. I've scoured Google and IISFAQ.com with no luckany thoughts? Oh ya...all sites are running in Low(IIS Process). TIA Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

Re: IIS 5 randomly stops serving pages
OK I killed the server again and when trying to restart IIS it says Address already in use? Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

RE: IIS 5 randomly stops serving pages
We've run into this as well. However, we run a script to kill both IIS and CFMX (yes MX.. Not 5.. But I think it's the same problem), and it has minimized the occurances. Although it still happens. Here's the BAT file that we've tested over time, and it seems to help. (Note that you'll need KILL from the Resource Kit to use this -- and the order is CRITICAL -- anything else doesn't work well. Also, we run it twice because sometimes it simply hangs the IIS process and doesn't bring it back): === @echo off cls echo Restarting IIS Service... net stop World Wide Web Publishing Service net stop IIS Admin Service kill -f inetinfo.exe sleep 3 net start World Wide Web Publishing Service net start IIS Admin Service sleep 3 net stop ColdFusion MX Application Server sleep 2 net start ColdFusion MX Application Server echo. echo. echo Restarting IIS Service... net stop World Wide Web Publishing Service net stop IIS Admin Service kill -f inetinfo.exe sleep 3 net start World Wide Web Publishing Service net start IIS Admin Service sleep 3 net stop ColdFusion MX Application Server sleep 2 net start ColdFusion MX Application Server echo. echo. echo Done... sleep 3 exit === You can take out the sleep options if you want. Not sure if they help or not. Haven't taken them out to see.

RE: IIS 5 randomly stops serving pages
Oh.. And the other thing that seemed to help was to up the total allowed connections in the CF Admin settings screen. (We upped ours from 25 to 150.) It seems that fairly active sites exacerbate the problem.

Re: IIS 5 randomly stops serving pages
Thanks for the info Lee. Do you run that BAT file on a rgualr basis or just when it dies? If it's just when it dies how do could it possible lower the occurences (being that it's only run when it dies)?? What is KILL and where can I get the Resource Kit? TIA ;-) Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

RE: IIS 5 randomly stops serving pages
Hi Bryan, We run it each night at around 2:30am. The resource kit is available from MS. It actually may be in the Support section of the Advanced Server disc. Check there first.
