web server locks up

[aartjan]

I use the latest version of the internet toolkit to run the web server for a website. I would like to expand on the website, but I have been experiencing problems with the server: Every now and then the server "locks-up." At some point there will be an active connection that simply doesn't seem to terminate. Soon I get pending connections and soon the max connections are reached. As soon as this all happens, the server stops serving the requested files. I have started looking through the server's code, but have not found the problem yet, Maybe somebody else already knows what the problem is?
I think it may be a bug.

Hello,

I need to know more details on this to be able to look into this a bit further. At first, what versions of LabVIEW and the Internet Toolkit are you using. Also are you running on Windows or do you use a different OS?

I am using the internet toolkit 6.0 (which BTW. has exactly the same server as version 5.1) from the fall '04 distribution. I remember version 5.1 had the same problem. I am running it on Windows XP. Doesn't anybody else ever experience this problem?

"Doesn't anybody else ever experience this problem?"

Well I do and the only advise I can offer is "The less work the GUI does, the better it performs."

I have seen updates of large charts kill the web-service. Simple static FP with just a few indicators that update slowly seems to work OK.

It happens to my server even when just serving static pages and images. I am pretty sure it is not due to traffic either.
