Question

IIS 6.0 is taking 50 seconds to serve simple page on new sites, old sites work great

Asked by: adamant40

IIS 6.0 running on Server 2003 R2 64bit. New websites created in IIS  take almost a minute to load a simple index.html based site. This also happens when using a browser locally on the server. Trying Browse SIte within IIS Manager also takes a very long time. If I modify the index.html document, browsing site in IIS Manager will show the old text like it is caching the information. The correct text shows when the site loads almost a minute later in a browser. The weirdest part is that two existing sites browse and serve their pages perfectly. I have tried swapping IPs between a working site and new slow site, the new site continued to run slowly.

Possibly Authentication - is causing the issue please post event viewer errors to see if anything is shown there..

Is there some sort of scripting in the page..

 

by: adamant40Posted on 2009-09-03 at 09:25:57ID: 25252265

No Script. New sites consist of a indelx.html document with hello world text to display, not even formatting. The old sites that are working OK are considerably more complex. I'm wondering if this could be a configuration setting higher up, in IIS itself because it affects all new sites created. Is there a way to run IIS in a safe mode that would bypass anything like GZIP or other possible configurations the developers have set?

Went throught Event Logs. No errors under Security or System. I see an error in Application Log:
Reporting queued error: faulting application IISState.exe, version 3.3.1.0, faulting module IISState.exe, version 3.3.1.0, fault address 0x00005c9a.
