My website is displaying 'HTTP/1.1 New Application Failed'

The possible causes are a badly configured global.asa file or a database connection isn't being closed properly.

First, contact us at 513-361-0800 or support@profitability.net  so we can unload the web site application pool, this will release resources and allow your site to function again but it doesn't cure the problem. Unless the site is stress tested  over a period of time to simulate a multi-site server you may not be able to replicate this error on your local system.

Check the global.asa file for configuration errors.

If the site uses a database ensure each and every connection is closed properly, under load, calls to the database page can result in this error being generated and the site will stop working until reloaded. Ensure that you open and close the database connection as quickly as possible and preferably before rendering any HTML elements. Also, check that page redirects are made after the database has been closed.

Additionally,  make sure your application is not leaking resources.  Be sure to properly close and destroy your ADO (and other) objects.  ReDim large arrays to 0 bounds after using them.  If you are heavily using the session and/or application objects, be sure to remove session objects when you're done with them.

VB Example:

Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")Conn.Open myDSNSet RS = Conn.Execute("Select * from myTable").........Set RS = NothingConn.CloseSet Conn = Nothing
If ..... then	Response.redirect()End if
