The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

503 error on IIS under several concurrent connections

Asked by HelderConde in .Net Application Servers, Microsoft IIS Web Server, Web Servers

Tags: iis, 503, error, concurrent, connections

Hi. Here is a very difficult one.

I have a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise (32 bits) running IIS 6.0, with ASP.Net 1.1.4322. Basically it's an image server, that has a large amount of concurrent accesses. Around 800 users simultaneous access an image file (all at once), every few seconds (it's a live webcast applications). The server is very robust, with 500 GB in a RAID-5, 4 GB RAM, Dual Opteron Processor. Will the users access it, the machine memory and CPU usage a low. Also it has plenty of bandwidth, since it's directly tied to a Gigabit port on the datacenter. I kept an eye on all paramenters and there is no imporant bottleneck on the hardware side.

Here is my problem: after around 20 "images", with 800 users, the users start getting a 503 error, and can no longer access the images.

On IIS HTTPErr Logs, I found these errors to be "Timer_ConnectionIdle". I believe it has something to do with the way the Application Pool is handling all those concurrent connections. No references to it are made on Windows Logs.

I've already tried tweaking all those paramenters on the Application Pool, but no results. For example, I tried increasing the Request Queue Limit value, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

Also, I inserted "MaxUserPort=65534" on TCP configurations on regedit. Rebooted. Also, tried turning off keep-alive and decreasing connection timeout, then a restart of the w3svc (see http://w3-4u.blogspot.com/2006/11/qa-maximizing-iis6-concurrent.html for the explanation about this). Tried changing each parameter individually and tested. No big difference after each modification.

Has anyone ever seen this? Is there a way to get this solved? Again, this address (http://w3-4u.blogspot.com/2006/11/qa-maximizing-iis6-concurrent.html) has a description of what seems to be my problem... but I didn't manage to get this solved.

Thanks in advance,

Helder
