ImageFolio 3.1 (www.imagefolio.com) (cgi web gallery)
HTTP Server (iis 5 ) is being used


no my problem is that the iis and ftp services go down very often, i dont get that many hits to get it over loaded, or is it the ftp is already generating alot of trafic ?

desperatly waiting for an answer

Have you checked the event logs?

nothing in there thats weird

to tell you the truth the services dont litraly stop i mean the service is still up and running according to the console .. but it aint .. if i restart the service it worx fine for another 30 minutes lets say

Have you tried it without the webcam?

yep!!! same problem

How do you know it isn't running if the console indicates it is? Are you attempting to connect from an outside source?

What kind of network connection do you have? Cable, dialup? Does your AUP allow you to run servers?

i have fisical access to the machine and as for the console i am on the local machine when connecting to the services using the console

What options have you enabled for event logs (auditing)?

Have you tried uninstalling the Folio? (conflict?)

Do you have AV software installed? (conflict?)

What other applications are running?

!! Missed the 'no firewall' bit earlier :) Maybe that's your problem - running a Windows machine with IIS and no protection! Have you got any filtering/firewalling in front of your server at all? Have you logged incoming traffic/connections? Can access be gained to other Windows related services (ie. ports other than 80)?
