How do I set a site to always be loaded?

Sorry - Windows Server 8 running IIS 7.



Hi;

How can I set our ASP.NET site to always be up and never suspended?
It's the only thing we have running so there is no gain in suspending
and we want a fast response.

This is on Windows server 2007.

??? - thanks - dave

Hi Dave,

I'd like to help you. But I'm not sure what do you mean by "always be up
and never suspended". Could you clarify your requirement? When the web site
will be "suspended"?

I take it that the site is used infrequently, so it get's unloaded and
the next user gets the JIT delay.

You could write a command-line utility that requests a page (aspx or
ashx) from the site. The page doesn't have to do much, it's just so
that IIS and ASP.Net think the site is still "in use".
Then use "scheduled tasks" to execute this utility every 15 minutes.

As Hans said, we get the timeout and it is unloaded. The next access
causes it to load again. Aside from writing a deamon to hit it, any
way to keep it loaded?

A meta tag won't work because no one is at the site when this happens.

thanks - dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the clarification. From your description the problem is the work
process is shut down after some idle time when no new request are sent to
it during that period.

If so you can set the idle time out in IIS 7. Please try the following
steps to do so.

1. Launch IIS 7.
2. Expand your machine node in the "Connection" panel and select
"Application Pools".
3. Select the Application Pool that is used by your web application.
4. Select "Advanced Settings..." in the "Actions" Panel.
5. In the "Process Model" category, set value in the "Idle Time-out
(minutes)" field.

Please let me know if it works for you and feel free to ask if you have
additional questions.
