Memory Usage Increases Incrementally with New Webs (201872)
The information in this article applies to:
- FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions from Microsoft
- Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q201872 SYMPTOMS
When you create a large number of FrontPage Webs on a computer running
Internet Information Server (IIS) 2.0 or IIS 3.0, Inetinfo.exe uses all of
the server's RAM.
Note: The number of Webs will vary, based on the size of each web
and the amount of RAM on the server.
CAUSE
Every time a new Web is created in FrontPage, a call to the function
InetInfoSetAdminInformation from Infoadmn.dll is made, causing some memory
to be consumed. With each new Web, more calls to the function are made,
increasing the memory consumption until you run out.
RESOLUTION
Upgrade to IIS version 4.0 or later.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
Memory usage increases with each new Web that is created. The size of the
increase in memory is proportional to the number of Webs present. You will
eventually run out of Virtual Memory and the computer will stop
responding. You can restart the IIS computer when the memory runs low (as
a temporary fix); however, this will not prevent the problem from
happening again.
