Web crash

[Paul M]

Hi
I have an asp contact page which self submits to an email address. The form
works fine but every now and then the website seems to crash for abourt 2
minutes and I can't browse to any of the other pages as though it is
rebooting itself or it is busy doing something
Can poorly coded asp pages cause this to happen even though they work ok
most of the time?

Thanks
Paul M

Yes.

It is possible that the asp script has gone into a loop with no exit,
and will run until the timeout stops it. The timeout is set by default
to 90 seconds. If the loop is resource intensive then it could stop the
site. Check your site logs for errors in the 500 range.

Thanks Ron
There are no error logs any other ideas?

Paul,

You'll need to use debunking statements to determine where the code is
looping, if at all.

For example:


myself = "SELECT name,address,address2 FROM customer"
set rs = openRSexecute(mySQL)
do while not rs.eof
response.write "in loop"
response.end
.....
rs.movenext
loop

The
response.write "in loop"
response.end

lets you know that you reached that point in the code.

Note: If the rs.movenext statement where missing it would cause an
indefinite loop.
