Hello. I run my own dedicated server at home with 100 mbit internet. Has always worked fine, until the last month, when I started noticed that the pages took either 1-3 seconds or 20 seconds to load. I restarted the server, then it worked fine again but after a few days it started to occur again. Now I have been doing this for two weeks and I am getting tired of having to restart my server. Newest apache @ win 2k3 server. Only and ONLY Apache is running, nothing else.
You might not like it: but windows sucks honestly for servers. Yea, a lot of people use it. But there is nothing in windows that can come close to performance and quality of a linux server. You got 100 mbps ? Damn get a linux box down there, it's really not hard to learn. About your problem: Try run a tool that graphs your cpu usage, the tools from sysinternals are free and really good. Maybe you can find something that takes your cpu power away.
Yeah well I have considered to use Linux, but it used to work perfectly with the Win. Anyway, I noticed something suspicious in the tool you recommended me. I'll try to work it out without having to switch operative system. Thanks.
wth something suspicious ? Sysinternals is a company that was bought by microsoft! I'd not show you any malware. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx Get those two sysinternals tools, they are very very nice to analyze general problems of processes and cpu,memory or IO load. Notice microsoft.com, it's NOT suspicios, ok ?
