Ok. I am not an expert in administering IIS 6.0 but here goes. I am
running IIS 6.0 with one website running ASP vbscript webpages. This
website interacts with an Access 2000 format database. The data that
gets pulled from the website is usually only a couple of pieces of
information. It does at the end of user interaction store a record to
the database. This does use session variables to keep track of data
accross webpages instead of using hidden variables. There are a couple
of hidden variables used. This site is accessed in an intranet and
internet fashion.

This site can go for two or more weeks just fine. Everything is served
very fast. Every so often (twice today), the website will just lock.
When the end user clicks on a link, the site just sits there.

This morning, there were 3- 4 people using the site to insert records.
Then, all of the sudden, the site will basically stop responding. The
website will churn waiting for the next webpage and will just time out.

I can stop and then start the web server again and everything works
great. Can anyone tell me what would be going on here? Settings that
need to be changed?

I would appreciate it

You need to use a tool like DebugDiag or IISState to work out what's going
on. Post the log files that are generated here if you need help
understandign what's going on.

IISState

DebugDiag (recommended):

I am going to try the following fix from the Microsoft Support site.

FIX: Web applications that use the Jet database engine may stop
responding under heavy load --
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=838306

Using Microsoft Jet with IIS -- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299973/

http://www.kbalertz.com/838306/responding.Microsoft.Access.applications.aspx

If this does not work, I will post the results of the two diagnostic
programs listed above.
