Our server IIS6 / SQL Server 2005 / Windows 2003 / Classic ASP system will sometimes hang causing any page on the web site that connects to the database to not load. Non database pages will still load fine.<br />
I believe it is something will the Application variable in global.asa. To fix the problem all I have to do is upload a saved copy of global.asa an the problem is fixed immediately. Starting and stopping the web service also works. I think what may be happening is that IIS 6 is losing the database connection application variable. I should also mention that we connect to a MySQL system on some ASP pages too. But that connection still works (I think).<br />
It had been happening twice a week. Now it is 5 times a day. So I need to fix it ASAP!

IIS Database Connection Sometimes Hangs

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.
