PROBLEM WITH IIS5 AND SERVERXMLHTTP

Hello:

We are having problems with a server using W2000 SP4 fully patched, IIS 5
Using ASP and XML object (version 3 SP9), from time to time the asp pages
stop responding until we get "script timeout".
Debuging our code, we have found that it fails using serverxmlhttp object,
it gets blocked until we get a timeout.
The ASP pages we are loading are local, very simple in most cases, without
any access to DB or any other external resources.

These ASP pages have been working for more thatn 4 years without problems
and recently we have migrated them to a new server because we had this
problem in the old server and thought it could be a problem with speed or
resources (the old server was W2000 SP4, XML 3 SP3).
In the new server we are having the same problem.

Any ideas? What could be the problem?

Regards,
Roberto

Usually "script timeout" means an ASP page is to taking too long to complete. I think the IIS logs can help identify which page that is. It can be either an infinite loop or a COM object that is failing.

Re: PROBLEM WITH IIS5 AND SERVERXMLHTTP

What is the URL being loaded by ServerXMLHttp object?

Until you determine the performance bottleneck causing the request to
block, moving to a new server will hardly solve the issue (as you have
found out after spending the money). But hey, you got a server out of
the deal so no complaints.

Re: PROBLEM WITH IIS5 AND SERVERXMLHTTP

The problem is not always in the same page. These ASP pages use web services
(local and remote), and it could "timeout" requesting a local web service
that just shows the received parameter. I think it's a problem with
serverxmlhttp requests under heavy load, but can't find how to solve it.

Re: PROBLEM WITH IIS5 AND SERVERXMLHTTP

It happens with different urls, and not always.
I have noticed that the server has about 100 simultaneous HTTP connections.
Could it be a problem with serverxmlhttp and this heavy usage?
It can crash (timeout) even with a small web service that dosen't connect to
any DB, and just shows the parameter received
