Windows NT server help!!!

AngelofDeath · 10-13-2002, 07:28 PM

I need some help.......

I'm running the worldwide web publishing service on my web server. I'm having an issue, it is stopping randomly. I rebooted the server the service starts then it randomly stops.....just stops.

Any ideas, this is freakin' killing me!!!! Damn them, Damn them all to Hell.....

This happens occassionally to one of my servers at work. In our case, it's seems to be a lack of memory. When the server starts to run low on virtual memory and/or hard drive space for paging, the first service it stops is the WWW service.

Normally, in our case, we just clear out logs and temp files, and restart the service. This is obviously not a permanent fix though.

I hope this helps.

You can use the services icon under the control pannel to restart without having to reset the system.

AS for a permanent fix, it could be that a few massive logs and temp files are taking up too much RAM, so clearing them out may go a long way to improving things. Also, RAM is cheap so a few 512Mb sticks shoudnt be too hard to obtain.

Certain viruses do terminate processes, but they mostly target anti-virus processes. A virus scan is always a good idea though,

Check your app log for events... either notification of improper termination or other events occuring around that time that might be causing a problem. It's been a while since I ran NT Server but it SHOULD be giving you some indicator that IIS is stopping... perhaps there's some info in there that might be useful.

I'll check the temp file size, thanks

I did check the logs, but there was nothing in there about the service.

Thanks for your help.

If there are any other Ideas, please let me know.
