BUG: Error Occurs When You Enter a Negative Number for ASP Files Cached in Memory (304189)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.1
  • Microsoft Internet Information Services version 6.0

This article was previously published under Q304189

SYMPTOMS

When you enter a negative number (for example, "-1") in the ASP files cached in memory text box in the Internet Services Manager (ISM), you may receive the following error message:
Unacceptable Character
You can only type a number here.

CAUSE

The ASP file cache text boxes can only contain positive integers.

RESOLUTION

Although there is no option to cache an unlimited number of files in memory, you can specify up to 2,000,000,000 files to be cached in memory.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Although "-1" (meaning unlimited in-memory cache) is a legal metabase value for the AspScriptFileCacheSize property, this cannot be changed in the ISM. The ISM can only contain positive integers.
