Post subject: inetinfo.exe memory leak
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)
|
|
|
I have Windows Server 2000 with all the service paks installed.
I noticed my memory keeps increasing on my inetinfo.exe service. The i/o
reads has grown to 13,000,000 in just three days. I only have 3 web sites
running with very little traffic. Maybe 10 hits per day.
The leak has crashed my Server once and I had to reinstall Windows Server
because I lost my desktop and tried everything else to recover it.
If I stop IIS and restart, the counter starts again and continues to increase.
I ran file monitor from system internal and a process called inetinfo.exe
has reads every 2 seconds. The log filled up a whole page in just 30
seconds. The path of the process is C:\winnt\system32\inetsrv\ntinst1.mdb
with result SUCCESS on each line of the log file. I looked at the .mdb in
this folder and the database has tables with system classes and objects in
it. The size is only 512k or so it is not increasing in size.
I am also running .net framework 1.1 with the hotfix 1.1. The web pages are
written in C#.net.
What maybe causing this memory leak. What is the .mdb datase for. How else
can I troubleshoot this error. Do I need to remove or reinstall a service
pak?
Thanks for all your help! Ron Mehrer |

Hi,
I/O Reads have nothing to do with memory leaks.
a) How do you know that inetinfo.exe is leaking memory?
b) What other problems are you seeing?
Cheers

hello, thanks for replying.
Well the i/o reads seem excesive and do utliize resources, and since I ran
the file monitor program from system internals, it point directly to
inetinfo.exe and the activity reading the metabase located at
c:\winnt\system32\intetsrv\ntinst1.mdb.
So I question why would it be reading this 12,000,000 time in 3 days.
Also, I have checked the C# web page objects and they are being destoyed
properly. Also, the memory usage of the service inetinfo.exe is 19,000 mb,
which seems high for only 3 pages running and few page hits. The paging file
usage is 378mb when iis is running, but only 230 when it is stopped. I have
reset iis but no effect.
Do you think I need to run DH.exe to check the HEAP dump? Should I turn off
debugging, and how to do that?
Also, I am not running exchange server or any other servers connected to
this box. It is a standalone web and database server.
Do you have any suggestions as to how I can troubleshoot this problem before
my server crashes again? Thanks.

I/O reads should not cause a server crash. Additionally, that should not
cause a memory leak
I don't know why inetinfo.exe is doing that many reads.

You are saying that InetInfo.exe is using 19 GB of RAM?!? I don't believe
you 
If you are saying that inetinfo.exe is using 19MB of RAM, then that's not
very much.

No, I do not think you need to do that.

There doesn't seem to be anything here related to your crash. I don't see
any evidence of a memory leak, or of a problem in general.
How exactly did your server "crash"? Did you get a Blue Screen of Death
(BSOD)? If so, what was the STOP/Bugcheck code?
Cheers

Just to clarify - when you say "crashed my server" you are referring to a
BSOD? If so, was a MEMORY.DMP file created in the \winnt directory?

I will try shutting off debug.
Thanks

Well, I do not know how to check for memory dump. What I had was a blue
screen. What I could do was control-alt-delete, then access task manager,
select application NEW TASK, then I run cmd and eventvwr.exe
services.msc
compmgmt.msc
gpedit.msc
lusrmgr.msc
perfmon.msc
fsmgmt.msc
sysdm.cpl
appwiz.cpl
regedit.exe
These commands worked and I could see events, etc. Also, the web pages
continued working and updated the database throughtout. So technically, all
apps were accessible this way but my desktop icons were not. Wierd.
I think I should upgrade to iis 6 and Windows Server 2003.
