Even ID: 37
Out of process application '/LM/W3SVC/Number/Root' terminated unexpectedly
For additional information specific to this message please visit the Microsoft Online Support site located at: http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp.

where number=number related to site in IIS.

Server have all security patchs, since there was an exploit causing this warning last year.

Machine has 1,5GB RAM and SQL2000 and windows2000 server, almost of the time have 600-800MB free RAM, except time to time memory goes donno where... avaiable ram just a few Mb, swap just achieved 50% maximum usage in that periods, but when this occurs is just for few seconds or a minute. I look at process's memory usage and none(or all) are using so such memory!


I had portal running in low mode that uses SQL database(changed last week to this mode, due on other sites using access started to give an error), and other sites in medium(pooling). This way sites using db in access worked well
everything working ok for some days.

Memory jumps ocasionaly occur.Time to time memory goes donno where... avaiable ram just a few Mb, swap file almost 50%free, but when this occurs is just for few seconds or a minute.  I checked that when this occurs at least some times the event warning doesnt appear at same time, so i suppose isnt from here.

Since the portal started to give an error(just yesterday, and ocasionaly) only when people uploading images(a component resizes them auto). The problem is a component giving an error saying out of memory. The componente  builder was contacted and said it that may occur...

I changed configuration again:
Portal and most of the sites in medium(pooling)
Access sites in isolated mode(doesnt give that error of system resource exceed in this way, that started to appear 2 weeks ago).
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '8007000e'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] System resource exceeded

With this configuration of IIS, sites working ok but got that warning in event viewer time to time

Well the component still gives an error time to time...

But i got this warning in event viewer related to many sites(previous configuration didnt report this event), still sites working well. Almost the sites get info from the portal Database in SQL2000.

The company that made the component said it "uses a LOT OF RAM"... that maybe where the memory goes time to time... but i cant see it on process's memory usage.


But now im looking to know the meaning of that event id warning.

Tkx again for the great help on this issue
Paulo
