Anything that gets written to the Windows Event log (Application, System, etc) at the time the server goes down? Anything that you see in those same logs at the time that you attempt to bring up the server once it is down but when it fails to come back up?

OR don't use Apache, use Tomcat on Port 80 w/APR it will serve files just as fast. But if you need a web server for other reasons, then try Apache - Tomcat combination, the Mod)JK AJP protocol between Apache and Tomcat is a bit faster than the IIS Tomcat redirector ISAPI.

We are running version 6.3 Patch 21 of both Midtier and AR server. These were brought up in January, one for our Production environment and one for our Development environment. Back in April, our Production servers IIS configuration became corrupt. It would not start back up. In the event logs, we saw that it was a slow degradation starting a 7-10 days prior, where it began having to restart IIS. After that period, IIS would no longer start up and our users got the error of Service Unavailable. We swapped our Dev server into Prod, and rebuilt the old Prod server into the new Dev server. Another 6 weeks go by and the new Prod Server had the same issue, completely shutting down on Memorial day. So we swapped out the servers again, taking the Dev server and making it the Prod server. I have a gut feeling that we will see this again. The previous servers were running Windows 2000, and ran flawlessly for 5 years. We are tentatively upgrading later this year, but I really do not want to go through this exercise every 6 weeks until we finally have them upgraded. > > Has anyone seen this kind of behavior? > > Thanks in advance, > > Ron Smith > Remedy/Web Developer > Providence Health & Services OR > [email protected] > 503-216-7866 _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
