Any IIS server gurus here? "Server too busy" error
 

Could anyone help me with this:

The page cannot be displayed
The request cannot be processed at this time. The amount of traffic exceeds the Web site's configured capacity.


A search showed me that one cause of this is "VB DLLs used and found that the most utilized DLL was marked as "retained in memory."

and another is poor ASP coding.

Could anyone let me know how to check for the first error? I am lost when it comes to server administration.

Thanks so much!

means you need to upgrade your server :)

Apply which upgrade?

Anyone know?

google.com <-- is your friend

contact these hosting companies they know what they are doing:

www.webair.com
www.tear2hosting.com
www.dwhs.com
www.oc3networks.com

they are all great

Already did - the solutions are over my head. Now I am looking for a Windows server admin who could help me out.

that's what you get for hosting on a windows server, when 99% of the people here use a proven unix based solutions.... what were you thinking?

Wasn't my choice.

then switch to FreeBSD, Debian, Centos or something else.

Hmmm, I'm no good with Windows servers. Bump for you!

i hope anadrol isn't your friend... pretty dangerous shit to play with.

i'm not a guru but maybe you should restart your server or check the setting to allow more bandwidth to the particular website.
Why don't you contact support ?

Thanks for the help :)
I did restart the server several times to no avail.
I think it is the settings that are the issue, but I have no clue on how to check/edit them.
EV1 is not responding yet, and the server is important, so I am looking for outside help.

In IIS 6.0 right click on the web page in question, go to properties --> performance. check what your settings are there. Its possible bandwidth throttling has been turned on.

You need to install the web tools package, from there you can do more without the lame web based interface crap. EV1 is unmanaged, they won't respond on purpose.

Thx.

"Limit the total network bandwidth available for all the websites on this server" is UNCHECKED.

"Website connections" is set to UNLIMITED.

Anything wrong there?

Do you have ICQ?

Or Quagmire?

Thanks.

Something that is strange to note is the main site doesn't work, however the forum does. The forum runs on the same server.

What version of IIS are you running?

Has anyone made code changes recently?

microsoft.com/technet/archive/IIS3/tuning.mspx?mfr=true

IIS 6.0

Code changes to what exactly?

Thx for the link... reading.

Also, check the event logs (icon in the admin panel) for any application errors.

Sorry, I don't have ICQ on the laptop I'm on right now, otherwise I'd jump on and try and help you directly.

No something is configed wrong in iis. Or mysql. I run 80 sites and probably 95 databases on a windows box and have never had that happen. iirc there is a setting in IIs that concern similtanious connections.

Ok It could be this.

Go into iis and right click on websites. Goto properties, and under performance make sure website connetions is set to unlimited.

Yes, it is set to unlimited.

Reset the server like 8 times today, still nothing.

Anadrol FTW !

But seriously you need to get a remote desktop connection setup for your "web server admin" to seriously see what it going on ... I would do it for you but I would not be able to do anything until I get home ...

There could be a variety of things going on with the server. Look at the even logs and see if there are any outstanding issues with certs, sessions, mem leaks, CPU uitilization, run some metrics with the server tool, check all aspects of the IIS config that have been previously documented by your admin upon set up.

That should give you some help if not hit me up ...

The problem turned out to be a DDOS attack. Rick was very helpful and had the problem solved promptly. Steps were taken to ensure that this does not happen again.

Thanks Rick! :thumbsup
