Just for fun, I re-defined the handler mappings and used script maps instead of the Handler, and now it works. The servers load and stay loaded. So it looks like a problem with the Handler or my configuration of it.
Does that help diagnose? The site is up and running, but I really wanted to get away from script maps and use the new Handler, so any help would be great!
Are you sure your COM server is compiled as SingleUse not MultiUse in the COM properties of the project?
Otherwise I'm not sure. Make sure you can instantiate the server from FoxPro or VBScript as shown in the manual and that it does stay alive as long as you hold a reference to it. I don't see why that wouldn't happen but it always helps to confirm.

Hello.
I'm in the process of migrating an application from 4.xx to 5.65 and from Win2003 to Win2008, and I've run into a snag. I have the app running in COM mode, but on each hit the servers load and then unload. So, in other words, there are no servers loaded, a hit comes in, the servers load (I have 2 copies running), they process the hit, and then they unload. This happens on every hit.
And, I don't think it's a problem with my COM exe specifically, because the same weird behavior happens when i try to load the servers from the admin console. I click "Load Servers", The servers load, then they unload, and then they load and stay loaded (until the next hit).
I've searched this site and the help file and can't find any reference to a problem like this...
Here's my setup info:
Windows 2008, 32-bit
Web Connection 5.65
Managed Handler
Thanks!
