IIS hangs ASP - tried IISState - help

[rjb]

Hi there

I've a server which hosts couple of hundreds sites. From time to time I
can't
access some of the websites, all of them are ASP. HTML ones are fine.

I've tried to use iisstate, but I can't seen any errors in the log, not even
a warning.
Also, there is nothing in the Event Viewer. The server is 2003 standard.

If I will restart IIS service, all is back to normal.

I know this doesn't say much, but do you have any ideas where should I go
from here?

Thanks,
rjb

It sounds like you have at least one site who has a threading issue,
possibly something blocking that causes it to fail

There's also a possiblity the server is just overloaded, but most likely
something is blocking.

You need to bring up perfmon and add asp currently executing and asp threads
pooled - you'll most likely find pooled threads when this happens.

By threading / blocking, take for example you fetch a url from another site
and that other site is down / slow - That timeout may be 30 seconds - Now
all the sudden it takes 30 seconds for your asp page to finish, even if it
ONLY calls the component and outputs the results. However after a few start
executing you are blocked and other asp requests queue.

There's various tuning you can do, but you probably need to find the problem
instead of work around it.
