    Please help, my hosting company isn'y very happy with me.

    Plogger is the only thing of note on my domain, apart from an odd html page. They have move my domain to a probation server till this is fixed.

    Currently using 3.0, but think this issue has been present since 2, as plogger would often go down for upto 10 mins.

    Here is a response from my hosting company regarding the issue at their end.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The problem is:

    There were a large number of win32 pipes left open in the application pool of the server this site was hosted on and on checking a sufficient random selection, they were all owned by this domain. This would tend to indicate a script is opening connections without closing them.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Would swithing to a Linux server help?

    I've never personally tested Plogger on an IIS configuration so I'm not sure which processes they are talking about. Is there any way you can find out what win32 pipes are being opened? Is it database related? Is it file related? Is it thumbnail generation?

    Hi Mike

    I have asked the hosting company about which pipes are being left open, and if its affecting the database, not sure what response I'll get hehe.

    The database is held on a seperate server as far as i can gather, so its unclear really as to whether its database related. Unless plogger is timing out while wating for a response from the database?

    I don't think its thumbnail issue as most of the images have been on plogger for a while now and I havn't updated recently, as I mentioned before the site bombs out when i'm viewing them.

    I'll update this post when i find out more

    Would you say trying a Linux environment is worth while then, as my Hosting company offers a choice of Linux or Windows?

    Cheers

    Paul

    I guess it's worth a shot to switch to Linux if it doesn't cost you anything, that is what Plogger was designed on. It has worked on Windows IIS in the past, but there seems to be a larger proportion of problems associated with running on that platform. PHP and IIS are not great friends.

    Hi once again,

    My hosting company has suggested to try a linux server, getting details of the errors from them is like getting blood from a stone.....good job they're cheap lol!

    Strange issue really, I ran plogger on my PC for a few months before getting it hosted. Ran fine using WAMP on WIN XP Pro.

    Thanks for the input

    Paul
