IISSTATE logfile assistance

Hi

We're having problems with IIS hanging on our webservers. We've recently
upgraded one of them to Windows 2003 and IIS6, but this has not stopped the
problem - if anything it seems to have got slightly worse. I have an
IISState logfile from the 2k3 server, but don't really know what I'm looking
for. It is quite large, so I have posted it at
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/richard.titcombe/fiona/iisstate/060614.log
The server is hosting several sites, and we have created 3 application
pools, one each for the two busiest sites and a third shared pool for the
remainder of the sites, which do not see heavy usage. We've tried playing
with the number of worker threads, but this doesn't seem to make any
difference.

I would be extremely grateful for any help that you can give!

Regards

I think all these threads are blocked trying to update a single XML file.
You can get some info on XSLISAPI2.DLL here:

Hi Ken

A huge thanks for looking at this for us. Our app doesn't write to XML
files directly - it does read them a lot (we use XML/XSL to provide branding
for different sites running on the same codebase). Whether the xslisapi2.dll
does this I don't know. We are having similar problems on our IIS5 servers,
so don't think it's a problem with the isapi filter and IIS6 as such.

Thanks again for your help

Regards
Fiona
