Hey Joe,

So far, my testing has shown that by setting the 'DisableSearchIndex value to true has fixed the problem.

I have a few more test to run, but currently that has fixed the problem of NSN.

Joe,

In additional to my question in my last post, Rackspace just supplied the following:

Hello Mark,

Thanks for your update. As discussed before, we do not necessarily audit code or do code fixes, but I can attempt to see what your worker process is doing. Your site could be going slow because of dynamic compiled code. There is about 20 MB of dlls in your /bin directory getting compiled on runtime. Evidence I see of this is the csc.exe process is running under your user name.

I tried to search for a solution for your issue and this seems pretty close:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/csharpgeneral/thread/cba32a0f-9648-454f-a4d8-7605a5ce0054

It says to uncheck this option in your Visual Studio: "Allow this precompiled site to be updatable"
Perhaps if you precompile the site, the timeout for the nsn will happen less often.

An extreme example of a lot of assemblies getting compiled is something like this link, but your site is only in the 30s and not 1000s:

Hope this info helps your debugging.

Kind Regards,

First let me say Thanks to Jamie for his reply.

Now more from Rackspace:

Hi,

After checking - service hosting environment aspnet compatiblity isn't enabled for cloud sites.
If you must have this functionality please consider using a cloud server which you can customize to meet individual needs.

Regards
Rackspace Cloud Sites

 So, based on that, do I need to make that read <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="false" /> in my web.config?

Mark

Hey Joe...

I'm using the web.config that came with 2.3.5.8 and this is the area that is committed out in the web.config

<add name="svc-ISAPI-2.0" path="*.svc" verb="*" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv2.0,bitness32" />
            <add name="svc-Integrated" path="*.svc" verb="*" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpHandler, System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />
   

Is this the area you are speaking about, because below is the line in the web.config I was asking about. 

Following line of code is set to true in the web.config:  <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" /> and I'm told by Rackspace they do not use serviceHostingEnvironment, so I believe I need to set this to false. 

Also, you talk about serviceModel, the following section is not commtted out, should it be:

  <system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service name="System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService" behaviorConfiguration="AuthenticationServiceTypeBehaviors">
        <endpoint contract="System.Web.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationService" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="userHttp" bindingNamespace="http://asp.net/ApplicationServices/v200" />
      </service>
      <service name="System.Web.ApplicationServices.RoleService" behaviorConfiguration="RoleServiceTypeBehaviors">
        <endpoint contract="System.Web.ApplicationServices.RoleService" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="userHttp" bindingNamespace="http://asp.net/ApplicationServices/v200" />
      </service>

    </services>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="userHttp">
          <!-- if you have an ssl certificate set this to Transport -->
          <security mode="None" />
        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="AuthenticationServiceTypeBehaviors">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
        </behavior>
        <behavior name="RoleServiceTypeBehaviors">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <!-- comment this out for Mono -->
    <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />

  </system.serviceModel>

Thanks, and sorry for all the questions and back and forth, just really trying to find my solution to the NSN issue and THANK You and the rest of the group for helping.

I truly love this product and want to make it work with Rackspace.

Joe, Thank you for the reply... Now the Update...

Since I removed those areas and made service hosting environment aspnet compatiblity  = false, I no longer get the NSN when a normal user visits the site.  However I still get NSN when we are login as a editor / admin to edit the site.  When trying to edit the content or edit the page design or page settings, I still get NSNs.

I'm still digging.

Thanks,

Mark
