Hi

We have three separate installs of Ver 5.0.1 on our server running windows 2008 - IIS 7.

Each install works perfectly, portals added, pages created, modules installed. All working as per normal.

BUT each time you browse to a site after the IIS session timeout (20mins) has expired, the UnderConstruction.htm - This site is currently Unavailable page comes up. If you then retry the site comes up with no issues.

I am not sure if anyone has seen this behaviour before but would appreciate any assistance that would help us resolve the issue. 

Thank you

 I am sure, it is a timeout issue - usually caused by slow machine or database. Does your machine has enough RAM and did you clean up your database (truncate transaction log, and limit size of log tables inside)?

Thanks Leupold

I am not sure that it is a timeout. Because if it was it would normall give a timeout error page like u get from time to time on dotnetnuke.com.

The server is a 4GB RAM big banger with almost no other activity.

The problem is why should it go back to running the UnderConstruction.htm? Rather than report an error.

thanks a million for your help.

Hi Leupold

You were 100% right. It was a SQL connection time out!

So the lesson is that the connection string in web.config needs to include a time out setting.

Something like: Connection Timeout=120

Will give 2 mins to get hold of the SQL server before falling back to the UnderConstruction.htm page.

Your help is much appreciated.

 you should investigate, why it takes that long. maybe the transaction log needs to be truncated or some log tables are exceeding number of entries (EventLog, Sitelog, ScheduleHistory).
