Please excuse the rather lengthy email,

I've put a site up for testing, and noticed it hangs every so often, rather like theres a bottle neck somewhere, it times out when navigating to a new page, not all of the time but ever so often. When i open a new browser up its super quick again.

I've done some custom development, but sometimes the pages freeze when im looking at pages that have none of my own custom modules on. So doubt its something to do with what i've created, and i created my own projects so havent touched main mojoportal files.

Its very strange, as on my localhost, i have a almost identical copy, and experience no problems at all.

I'm using version mojoPortal Version 2.3.0.1 MSSQL

I've spoken to my web hosting company and heres some replies

Hello Tim

You application at times seems to be giving the server a hell of a ride, I've moved it to its own application pool at it does hog a lot of CPU occasionally.

Is that site based on Mojo Portal by any chance?

Hello Tim

I'm not saying it's definitely your site but we've had an issue for a couple of weeks on the server where something called DW20.exe get launched which is an error reporting component usually associated with Office, we've basically deduced that a dot net application is causing the issue and it has something to do with Mojo because that's referenced in the event log.

If you can shed any light on it then that would be great.

god you're going to hate me for writing such a long message, i remembered about the event log, and these seem to the be main errors, i have lots and lots of the first error about indexwritertask in the event log, and some regarding galleries and creating new pages.

sorry one more thing,

If i delete all rows from mp_TaskQueue and mp_IndexingQueue tables before upgrading will this effect any of my content thats already in there? as i will have to do this before upgrading to the new version for now.

I wouldnt want to loose any content as its taken a long time to put it in.

thanks again

Tim

Hi Joe,

Could you tell me where i could add the error handling that you spoke of, i really need to add this code without upgrading, I can compare the source files with the latest version if i know where to look.

I started my first site before reading that i should stay well clear of modifying modules instead of duplicating them, i'm now in too deep to start over again, even more frustrating is that i'm pretty much finished with this one, if i can add the error handling code i can put this one to bed and it'll be a lesson learnt.

I've already learnt from my previous mistake and have started a new site the correct way. If anyone else is reading this, start right and you'll be future proofing your site for the future!

Many Thanks

Tim
