Windows WebSite - Down

[Garreg]

Have entered a TT – though still awaiting a response.

I’m getting a lot of faults / downtime reported on one of my website (windows / asp) - one minute it’s ‘up’ next minute its ‘down’, usually “HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer”

Today alone………………….
09.25.2002 20:07 HTTP Error 500 Internal Server Error 30 mins
09.25.2002 19:06 HTTP Error 500 Internal Server Error 45 mins
09.25.2002 18:04 HTTP Error 500 Internal Server Error 30 mins
09.25.2002 17:03 HTTP Error 500 Internal Server Error 46 mins
09.25.2002 15:45 HTTP Error 500 Internal Server Error 31 mins
09.25.2002 14:43 HTTP Error 500 Internal Server Error 30 mins
09.25.2002 11:51 HTTP Error 500 Internal Server Error 30 mins
09.25.2002 06:18 Connection refused 14 mins

And it’s still reporting http 500.

Also – since the update to 2.3 I’m not receiving the automated acknowledgments to my TT’s.

Whats is actually happening to cause this?

[Garreg]

That explains the mail - what about the domain?

[admin]

What domain you only said some thing about email not a web site?

[Garreg]

I

What domain you only said some thing about email not a web site?

You didn't read the previous post... made just a few minutes earlier.

Just in case you're not aware of this...

A regular ASP coding error is reported as an "Error 500 - internal server error" if you have "Show friendly HTTP error messages" enabled in Internet Explorer.

Needless to say, a generic error that tells you nothing is not really "friendly" !

To change it in IE, go to Tools / Internet Options / Advanced / Browsing

Yea i know.. I beat the problem with Garreg's is ODBC.. Garreg can you send over the domains so i can make sure there set right for high use if using an ODBC. If your not using any kind of system ODBC then let me know i need to look in to what else may make that problem.

[Garreg]

Nope - this is what I'm using. I use the same coding for all my .ASP domains - but the one in the TT is the only one that has had problems (recently).

'internet Connection Class @-600904A6
Class clsDBinternet

Public ConnectionString
Public User
Public Password
Public DateFormat
Public BooleanFormat
Public LastSQL
Public Errors

Private objConnection
Private blnState

Private Sub Class_Initialize()
ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;User ID=Admin;Data Source=c:/hshome/MyUsername/MyDomain/database/Internet.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"
User = "XXX"
Password = "XXX"
DateFormat = Array("yyyy", "-", "mm", "-", "dd", " ", "HH", ":", "nn", ":", "ss")
BooleanFormat = Empty
Set objConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set Errors = New clsErrors
End Sub

Sub Open()
On Error Resume Next
objConnection.Errors.Clear
objConnection.Open ConnectionString, User, Password
If Err.Number <> 0 then
Response.Write "<div><h2>Unable to establish connection to database.</h2>"
Response.Write "<ul><li>Error information:<br>"
Response.Write Err.Source & " (0x" & Hex(Err.Number) & ")<br>"
Response.Write Err.Description & "</li>"
If Err.Number = -2147467259 then _
Response.Write "<li>More information:<br>The database cannot be opened, most likely due to insufficient security set on your database folder or file.</li>"
Response.Write "</ul></div>"
Response.End
End If
End Sub

I'm happy to create and use a different connection ? BTW - I haven't ammended anything (don't know if you have) but the sites remained up since your (Admin) original reply to may post.
