The CF server software ran fine until we moved it to Win2K and added .asp pages to the server as part of our intranet (please don't ask why, but part of our intranet is written using CF technology and the other part in written using ASP technology, both running session variables). Here is the server's configuration: Win2K (no service pack) CF 4.5.1 SP1 Max 728 MB Paging File PIII 800 with 256 MB Ram Plenty of harddrive space No Active Directory Service on Win2K In addition to this, we access an Oracle database using native drivers for the CF pages and ADO for the ASP pages. There is also an additional website running on the server using an Access 97 database as the backend (the shopping cart application we are using is AbleCommerce). We haven't been able to pinpoint the source of the memory leak. We don't know if it has to do with AbleCommerce and Access 97, the .asp or .cfm connections to the Oracle database, or simply some other memory leak problem between Win2K and CF. If anyone has any experience or practical suggestions on how to fix the low memory error, your knowledge would be greatly appreciated. As it stands right now, we end up having to reboot our Web Server every Monday morning to avoid the low memory error which eventually shuts down the server if it is not caught in time.

If I recall correctly, SVCHOST.EXE is used to run IIS pooled or out-of-process applications. You can run CF fully in-process by going into your IIS MMC, opening the "Properties" tab dialog for each virtual server, going to the "Home Directory" tab, and selecting "Low (IIS Process)" from the "Application Protection" dropdown.

RE: Server Running Low on Virtual Memory
Oracle get a block of memory assigned to it, called System Global Area(SGA). It does not get to just take all of the memory it wants. It sound more like Oracle is also on another machine.

Re: Server Running Low on Virtual Memory
The most probable culprit is the Access database application.

RE: Server Running Low on Virtual Memory
Sounds like possibly a memory leak in one of your asp pages. I Would atleast up the mem to 512. Where I work we have an NT server with 4 processors 512k running cf and asp. About 5 times a day it would dr watson inetinfo or cfserver. We put in more ram brought it to a gig. Still the same problem just less frequently. Then we started getting oracle wrapper errors. This machine access es oracle, sql, and Access. We moved all of the asp off of this machine and put it on another one and all the problems stopped. We thing that maybe cf and asp dont work well together or we had an app with a horrible memory leak. Not sure. -Original Message- From: Debbie McDaniel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2001 1:33 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Server Running Low on Virtual Memory Hi All, For the past couple of months we have been getting a low virtual memory error on our CF Server about every 10 days.
