Install crashes IIS

i have installed the sql lite version before without a hitch.

I tried install on a new directory, and every time i get to the setup/default.aspx page, it will detect permissions ok, then will detect the sqlite connection.

 

Then it says that there is no connnection and times out.  I repeated the request and then i get a "service unavailable" screen and IIS appears to have crashed.  Any suggestions?

Re: Install crashes IIS

Hi,

Please try to find the error using Event Viewer and post the stack trace.

Make sure you you have .NET 3.5 SP1 installed.

If you are on a 64 bit machine, go into the advanced settings of the application pool and enable 32 bit apps because the sqlite3.dll is 32 bit.

If problems persist, dont forget to post your Operating System and version.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Install crashes IIS

The only thing that I was able to find was the IIS error logs.  I'm not really sure what to look for, but at the same time it kept crashing, i see a bunch of errors that say "Timer_ConnectionIdle -"

One of the things that I tried was creating a copy of mojo portal locally on my computer, and the running the install setup there.  This worked fine and I then uploaded the files to my web server.  It worked for a couple of page edits.  After about the 3 page I added, it locked up and then killed the directory entirely.

Not sure if this makes a difference, but I have to folders of mojoportal on my web server.  They are in different folders, but could the be conflicting in some way?  overlloading IIS?

Any other suggestions? 

 

THanks!

Re: Install crashes IIS

SQLite can be finicky because there is really only 1 connection so each thing that accesses the db must wait for its turn with the connection. If something is taking a long time it can cause problems.

One problem that can occur if you populate the db on your local machine and then move it to a different machine is if there are unprocessed rows in the mp_IndexingQueue table (which is used to process changes in the search index) it can cause errors on the new location because we store the file system path for the index (like c:\somepath) in the table so it knows where to write the index files. It can have existing rows with an incorrect path that was correct on your local machine but does not exist on the server so when it tries to write to that non existing folder errors occur.

You might see clues of this kind of problem in the mojoportal log or in the event viewer on the server.

You can connect to the db using the command prompt and
sqlite3.exe dbfilename

Then you can delete existing rows from mp_IndexingQueue and mp_TaskQueue to clear up ths problem if it is the problem.

Hope it helps,

Joe
