asp hangs occasionally in iis 6.0

I've had this problem for a while... I have just bought a new server and installed windows server 200
I copied all the sites from my old server (2k) to the new server,
Everything seems to work after a few minor ajustments
But after a while i discoverd that my asp service stops working without generating a error in the logs..
HTML works and the Asp pages with global.asa and a access / mssql database as well as a simpel <%response.write "hello world"%> on a separate domain seems to stop

I have installed a program to view the last pages visited but these are always other pages on other domains
The service didn't start working after a while (i haven't tried it for many hours though) but when i restart iis everything is working again

So now have installed a program called servers alive to send an email when the asp goes down and after 2 checks restarts the ii

This is not a good solution. i have read various posts which seem to have a simular problem (since October Last year) but cannot find a solution that works

I also have seen that access with asp and iis could cause troubles but when it does do the asppages without a db-conn also stop responding??

Anybody who can help??

Thanks in advance

I also have this problem - I found this KB
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;838306. But all it says it that it is known bug, and
it was posted 6 weeks ago. No mention on if they are
actually going to try fix it. I'm really wishing I
hadn't moved to 2003.

I don't know if it's the problem in the kb that you've mentioned, it seems to be Web applications that use the Microsoft Jet database engine may stop responding (hang
but my site with only a response.write also hangs... maybe the microsoft jet engine may cause the entire asp service to stop.

I also regrate not stickin' to the good old w2k server... never had a problem of this kind, my webserver wasn't down for 3 years. WS2003 causes my server to stop at least twice a day

And the biggest problem is that i cannot find the exact cause of the problem to create a proper workaround..

Next time it hangs, run IISState (www.iisfaq.com/iisstate) against the
w3wp.exe process. If you post the log we may be able to tell you what is
wrong.

iisstate -p <pid of w3wp.exe> <enter>

If you have confirmed that you are seeing the Jet issue (you can run
IISState against the w3wp.exe process and post the log to double check),
then you should open an incident w/MS Support. Refer to the KB article
below. The incident will be free.

Only a suggestion:

If you are running any Access databases you may want to try and Compact and
Repair the databases (The tool is a built in function in Access), don't
forget to check your Rights on the database afterwards just in case they
were reset. This has been Very Effective for me for quite a few weeks - No
Hangs since, before doing this the server could hang 2 times a day or more.


NOTE: Paul & Ken... This is Only a suggestion for this user to try... We
are not overhauling the engine boys.
