• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

servers hanging

We moved our Windows hosting in-house about 3 months ago. We setup a 2003 Server running Plesk 7.5.6. For a while, everything was good, but then the server started hanging every day to day and a half. The only thing we could do is reset the power. There were absolutely no logs in Event Viewer at any point when it went unavailable (Nagios is monitoring it, so we know exactly when it goes unavailable). We thought it might be hardware, and since we had an identical spare server, we installed Windows 2003 and Plesk 7.6.0 on the spare.
The new server was set up a couple of weeks ago, and it started hanging up this weekend. The first time it happened, there was an error dialog box:
"W3WP.exe - Application Error
The Instruction at "0xt1f4200b referenced memory at "ox000000p4" The memory could not be read"

I've been able to deduce that W3WP.exe has something to do with ASP. We do have several ASP sites. But after that first time, it has just locked up. There hasn't been any error dialogs or any error logs. It's acting just like it was on the old server.

I'm not sure if this a problem with Plesk, but it does seem odd that it would happen on both servers. So my question is sort of twofold: is this an issue with Plesk? And does Plesk have any tools that would help me diagnose what is causing the hang? Also, could there be one site that is causing the problem?

Thanks!

I'm having the same or similar problem. It must have something to do with application pooling and ASP/.NET.

I'm going to dig deeper, but I'm looking forward to hearing from someone on this forum.

Good Luck
