ASP Unhealthy?

External Since: May 30, 2004 Posts: 6

I just migrated an ASP app to Windows 2003/IIS6, on a much larger server,
and expected to get better performance, but it's actually worse. I get the
following error every 3-6 hours:

ISAPI 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll' reported itself as unhealthy for
the following reason: 'ASP unhealthy because 100% of executing requests are
hung and 1% of the request queue is full.'.

I can't find anything in the KB on this, and googling it only turns up some
vague ideas. The main point, however, is that the app was running fine on
Win2K -- on a box that had half as much memory and a P3/500 CPU. And, the
same box was running SQL Server, which I have now moved to its own box.
Both servers are Compaq DL380's.

The app is an ecommerce app, and there are 80 copies running on the server.
Not heavy load, though.

Any ideas where to start? And any ideas as to why it would run better on
IIS5?

Thanks for any input!

It means that your ASP pages have hung up for reasons unknown. Next time
the server stops responding, you can run IISState (www.iisfaq.com/iisstate)
against the w3wp.exe process:

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

This will create a log which you can post to the group for analysis.
