ASP App Reset Problems

Our sites hosted here constantly get our ASP application reset. In contacting ASP.NET support, they tell us this does happen if an app is using too much cpu or memory. All the apps hosted on the machine get reset.

This is causing us problems, and it looks like, as people are entering form data, the application can get reset and so their from data is lost.

Are there any hints on how to handle this and recover data inbetween app resets?

I don't think it is our site or app that is causing the reset, since this happens often on one site that gets very little traffic and does not have any asp programming on it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

...Hard to offer direct tips for this sort of thing in Classic ASP but I do have one tip.
The site Application feature in your Control Panel.
This will seem odd at first but it solved this very thing for me in the past here.
I was running the Snitz forums for a large 3D game development community.
The sessions would get lost, a lot. I tried many global tricks but none solved it.
Then I used the Control Panel to add an application for the folder the forums were in.
After that no more lost sessions. Which were always a problem in Classic ASP anyway.
Try it, may work.
All the best,

Thanks for the suggestion.

We have about 10 folders where we have our asp pages. I'll try adding an application to each of them and see if that helps the issue.

um ... That did not work. Once I set one of our folders as an application, there were all kinds of problems.

Thanks aways.

 

It sounds like what you are trying to do is parse out the applications in its own memory chunk. Meaning that application 1 in folder1 has it own memory and application 2 in folder2 also has its own memory. You're right that will not work. Discountasp accounts reside on its own application pool so that the total sum of memory associated is under that application pool.
