IIS Hangs on SQL Connections when running ASP.net applications
- by PaulWaldman
We have a database server running SQL 2000 and two web servers hosting ASP.net applications. All three servers are running Windows Server 2003 SP2.
Our issue is repeatable after about 2 weeks, IIS on one web server is no longer able to establish SQL connections. Static content loads fine. Other non-IIS applications are still able to contact the SQL database server. ODBC functionality also still works.
While running SQL profiler a connection is never established from IIS when it is in this state.
The only way to fix this situation is to restart the web server.
There are no firewalls installed on any machines.
