Application Pool Failure

Hi,

I have an application on Windows Server 2003 built on ASP. Every now and
then the Application Pool fails and shuts down. Finally I have to start the
application manually. The Application Pool is running with IWAM_MachineName
Account. I have also added a parameter to recycle the worker process after
4000 requests. The server is up to date with respect to security updates and
patches. The IE version is 6 with SP1. The application runs on a Dual Core
Intel Xeon Server with 4GB RAM. Once the Memory utilization reaches beyond
1.3GB the application pool fails. Can u please help me in this matter. Thanks.

Re: Application Pool Failure

IIS will automatically recycle and restart the application pool
*unless* the application continues to fail rapidly, at which point it
will shut down the application pool since it is no use retrying if the
application immediately fails all the time within some short timespan,
and you have to manually restart the application pool to allow the
application to run. You will get notifications about every single one
of those changes in the Event Log.

Basically, the problem is with the ASP application. IIS is already
doing the best that it can to keep it running and recycling when you
demand, but the application is faulty, failing to stay running and
uses too much memory, all of which are problems with the ASP
application. Please report this to the application's support personel
to have it addressed.
