Hi,

I have a DNN5.2.2 installation running on shared hosting. Normally, it seems to run fine. However, when I install a new module or do something that causes the site to recompile, I sometimes get an OutOfMemory exception, and am unable to start the site. I have spoken to the hosting providers who tell me that the site uses the same memory pool as all the other sites on the server, but that there is no memory usage restrictions on individual sites (apart from the ASP.NET worker process one, I presume).

Which I expect explains why, if I keep trying, eventually, when there is less traffic on the server, the  site manages to compile, starts up, and works normally. Nevertheless, I can't afford to have periods of downtime like that for these sites, so I need to find a solution.

I understand DNN is intended to run on shared hosting, and the service I have with the provider has in all other respects proved ideal. A DNN4.9.3 site compiles and works perfectly on the same server and during the same periods that DNN5 is out of action.

Is there a known issue with site compilation in DNN5? Does anyone know a solution to this?

Thanks for the reply, Chris, but I think I have sorted it. I had the Module Cache Provider configured to Memory. Changed it to File System, and it seems to work fine now. Will report back if not.

Not sure how big your site is, but check the DNN Search Engine Scheduler in Host > Schedule. By default it runs every 30 minutes. You might consider running it less and see if that has any effect. We have seen out of memory errors when it is trying to run on larger sites with high traffic.
