aspnet_wp processes memory usage

[aepuras]

Hi all,

We are using a machine with win 2000 server and IIS 5.
It hosts some ASP, ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0 applications.

The aspnet_wp processes memory usage builds up untill we are getting
out of memory system errors.
We need to kill both aspnet_wp processes a few times a day in order to
bring the server back to life.

Can anyone help me diagnose this problem?

Thanks,
Adrian

Have you made any bug fixes, modifications, upgrades ?
Is there anything in the event logs ?
Or resorses, like open stream, etc. left open ?
Any COM and/or 3rd party objects not destroyed ?
Just make sure - probably something small but important is omited...

A very likely culprit is InProc session management. Are you using it? Do you
store large amount of data in session? If you do, consider the
out-of-process session service.
