Memory Issue

I have a web site running on IIS 5.0 that all the connections and recordsets are closed and set to nothing, but the memory keeps going up. It appears that the memory is never released by the Dllhost.exe. When I restart IIS the problem is fixed until another 2 weeks. What could cause this?

Thanks,

try using the performance monitor and perhaps you can determine what is causing the leak. Usually it's some bad code either asp or some other component you're using in your pages.

Doug G,

What are some things I should look for in the ASP code besides objects and connections that are left open.

Thanks,
Matt

Look for any objects that don't get destroyed on your pages. Anything you "set" should be set to nothing when you're done.

If you're using any custom programmed components, they are always possible culprits for problems.

If you're using any Access databases that are in Access 97 format, consider updating the mdb's to Access 2000 and use the OLEDB provider in your connection strings.

I always found this page helpful:
