texte = Hi, I have been running WebCatalog 2.1.3 (on an NT 4.0 server running IIS 3.0) flawlessly for the last 5 months. However, On Friday the 13th (11/13) I started having some problems.My server would serve .html files but would not serve .tpl files - giving me a message of server contacted waiting for reply I got on the server and stopped and restarted the webcat service - no luck. I tried to stop the www service with the IIS manager but the service wouldn't really stop - the status said stopped but when I tried to restart the service it said an instance was already running. The event viewer said nothing at the system or application level. My only recourse was to reboot. This fixed the problem - temporarily. The exact same sequence of events has happened aprrox. 4 times since last Friday. I'm pretty sure memory is not a problem - the task manager says I am only using 38072k out of 522952k. I have checked the IIS log to see if a particular page was causing the problem but I don't see a pattern.Has anyone experienced anything similar? Does anyone have any suggestions for more detailed diagnostics for me to run to try and figure out what is going on?I have not changed the configuration of the machine in any way over the last five months! Any/all help is appreciated!Thanks, Kelly Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
