Dev,

I did finally find a fix to the problem, here is what I did:

In IIS I created a new application pool and put the application in that
pool. It didn't fix the problem, but limited the site being unavailable to
only those in the same application pool.

I also found that the reason my sites were going down is I was getting
System.OutOfMemoryException and that was what took all the sites in the
application pool down. So to fix, I adjusted the virtual file size as
suggested here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/memory/base/4gt_ram_tuning.asp

The boot.ini file is modified by adding the two parameters /3GB and
/USERVA=3030. For a Small Business Server 2003 the entry could look as
follows:

[boot loader]

Timeout=30 Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [Operating
Systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server for
Small Business Server" /fastdetect /3GB /USERVA=3030

SBS 2003—like Windows Server 2003—reserves 2 GB of virtual address space for
the kernel and allows user-mode processes to use 2 GB of virtual address
space. A specific amount of virtual memory is assigned to a process when it
starts. This amount can increase during operation. By default, the memory
usage of a process is much smaller than the address space allocated for that
process. the /3GB modification is made so that 3 GB of memory is available
for user-mode processes.

hope that helps... Michael

Please Help!.

I have running SBS2003 with SP1 installed. Ever since I upgraded to SP1, my
websites randomly stop working. The time has been anywhere from a few days to
a couple of months.

IIS is still running and everything looks fine except when I try to go to
companyweb or any other website on the server, I get page can not be
displayed.

I have tried stopping and starting IIS and stopping and starting individual
websites. Nothing helps except a full system reboot.

I would appreciate any help!

Thanks
Dev
