aspnet_wp problems with large project

[Tim Mulholland]

I recently reinstalled everything on my computer:
Windows XP Pro (SP-2)
Office 2003 (SP1)
VS 2003 (7.1.3088)
..Net Framework (1.1.4322)
WMP 10.00.00.3646

Every time i try to open a specific ASP.Net project containing about 175
files The following error is logged under the Application folder in the
Event Viewer:

--------------------
Event Type: Error
Event Source: ASP.NET 1.1.4322.0
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1001
Date: 10/5/2004
Time: 1:18:52 PM
User: N/A
Computer: ERICA-4B
Description:
aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 392) was recycled because memory consumption exceeded
the 613 MB (60 percent of available RAM).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
--------------------

--------------------

If i watch the memory and cpu graph quickly spikes(maybe 3-4 seconds) then
instantly drop (as the aspnet_wp is closed) then the project seems to load
as normal. I can work with the files and visual source safe just like
normal but when i try to run the application the memory goes up but much
slower and after about 45 (the whole time the processor is at 100%) seconds
it peaks and the aspnet_wp is closed and the webpage loads with the
following error.

--------------------
Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is
currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser
to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific
request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server.
Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur
--------------------

I have tried getting a new copy out of source safe but get the same result,
however other developers running basically the same software can work on and
run the project without any problem.

I wrote a very simple test app and that seems to load fine. I can also load
other projects from source safe without a significant memory and processor
spike.

Thanks in advance,

-Tim

The memory limitation is a setting in the config file. See:

Even if i could set the limit high enough to stop that, that wouldn't solve
the problem that's causing the memory usage to increase like that. It
appears that it will just keep using memory until it runs out, one way or
another (almost like a huge memory leak).

That's admittedly very odd. A google search reveals that others have
experienced something similar with no resolution. :(

anybody?

This was one I found http://tinyurl.com/5a5sc
I basically did a search on "was recycled because memory consumption
exceeded". Oh, this was in google groups.

This thing could be because of so many things i guess. take a look at the
following links

Do googling these terms
"aspnet_wp was recycled because memory consumption exceeded"

Hi Tim,

Have you got any further progress or new ideas on this issue? Since this is
a serverside memory problem, and only occur on particular target machine, I
suggest that you have some further check on the different machine's
setting. Also, is the problem possible to be narrow down to some certain
pages in that web applicatoin wihch means when running those pages the
memory use age will exceed the limitation.

If you have any other findings or questions, please feel free to post
here.Thanks.
