Just use the name of your compiled foxpro EXE that is being launched by IIS when it gets hit with the mapped extension.

I would definitely use that, but I cannot figure out which process/program is the one that is caysing the problem and that I need to kill.


I have a 'restart' batch file that helps kill stubborn processes when they refuse to close or IIS gets confused:

iisapp.vbs /a "West Wind Web Connection" /r IISReset /stop taskkill /f /IM MyApp.exe IISReset /start

The iisapp.vbs requires that you have Windows Scripting Host installed, and MyApp.exe should be replaced with the name of your EXE.

HTH

tried restarting apppool.
there is no wcerrors.txt, no errors recorded

Obviosuly something is conflicting with something, and a reboot resolves it. Wish I could figure out what it was, I could probably restart whateer the offending service/program is,

Check:

* Is the Application Pool stopped? If so you can restart the AppPool
* Check the wcerrors.txt file to see what might be causing crashes, failures
* Make sure you don't have Anti-Virus mucking with your setup

This keeps happening still from time to time. No requests at all are accepted by WWWC, com or file. This time it might have happened after I tried to do an updateexe and it failed. Might be a coincidence.

So far rebooting the server is the only solution. Restarting IIS did not help. A little tricky to say for certain because this is a production server and a reboot involves a lot of unhappy people, so I do not run to a reboot right away. Would it help if I ran fiddler on the server to see what is going on?


Hmmm.... that wouldn't explain why the temp files weren't written.

Anyway glad it's working - and hoping this time it's the right install you got going :-)

FOUND IT! Somehow thw wconnect.h for version 4 got mixed up with the one for 5.


The admin functions also will not work on any site. I cannot find what was changed on the server. The w3wc never even tries to load the com server, and loading it manually in file mode makes no difference. Every single wc.dll, all with completely different parameters and temp folders, has stopped working. No requsts show up, it is almost like w3wc is swallowing up everything that comes in.

There are no errors in the events log.


Not sure if this helps, put a process monitor on and when w2wp.exe is called is reads all keys and files fine, then performs two thread creates successfully, then nothing. I guess I need to find any other proc names to filter on.

Forget what I said about it working, in my late night working I forgot the site that was working had been moved to a different server.

I have been thru all the normal steps. I guess what I need to do is determine all the things that the sites could have in commmon. They all use completely different temp folders, nothing in common there. No requests are being written to any of the temp files.

Not much information to go on.

Run through the Web Connection trouble shooting check list in the help file.

Are you running COM or File based? If file based check permissions, anti-virus and paths (wc.ini and app.ini) for the temp file location and disk problems.

I'm losing my mind, and I am about to sound like every crazy user but . . . .

I have a win2003 server runnning WWWC (actually running FiC, but that is not so relevant). All has been going swell. Now, all of a sudden, NONE of the wc.dll's will respond. Any call to them just cycles, with nothing showing in any requests - nada, zip. Like the wc.dll cannot run for some reason.

Since the .ini files I work with are for each "site", it seems that something is wrong wwwc-wide.

Any help is humble appreciated.
