503 Errors

External Since: Nov 20, 2003 Posts: 4

Hi All,

A clients web server has recently started throwing 503 errors. The site is
rather an ASP based site, with a reasonably high volume of traffic. This
doesnt seem to be on any particular page. I have read some articles saying
that this is something to do with rapid recovery, basically the server
trying to recover from a memory leak - Although I know the site does suffer
from memory leaks some where in the ASP code, the server has never thrown
503 errors before.

We introduced nightly reboots and increased the physical memory to stop the
memory leaks from effecting us previously - I'm wondering if a patch we have
installed has caused the 503 errors to appear.

Has anyone got any ideas on how to solve this? Or ideally, how to diagnose
and solve the memory leaks?

Kind regards,

Simon.

Hi Simon,

What version of IIS are you running? Also, check to see if there are any
events in the event logs that go along with that error. If this is IIS 6,
you can also check the httperr1.log.

Thanks,
