"too many people accessing the Web site"

I'm developing a VB.net app using VisualStudio. I'm running everything on my local machine. I just got an error: The page cannot be displayed There are too many people accessing the Web site at this time. OK, clearly, there's only one person accessing the site at this time. But for some reason, IIS thinks there are 10 open connections. Why? I've quit all my browsers, to be sure that there weren't actually any open connections.

Re: "too many people accessing the Web site"

disable HTTP keep-alives in IIS under properties->web site that way, IIS will drop your connections more rapidly, clearing space for later connections. j

Re: "too many people accessing the Web site"

Thanks! Are there any negative consequences of disabling keep-alives?

Re: "too many people accessing the Web site"

In this case, no. This is just a development server, right?

Re: "too many people accessing the Web site"

Yeah -- and barely that. But in production, I wouldn't want to do that, would I?

Re: "too many people accessing the Web site"

well, it has advantages in the actual HTTP transport phase of things, so you do get some benefit from it being switched on in production, but equally it wouldn't harm THAT much to switch it off on a decent-specced server. j

Re: "too many people accessing the Web site"

I too received this, to my horror. Disabling the Keep-Alives fixed the serving problem, but opened another can of worms. I have 2 machines, both running 2000-Pro. One machine is my server, the other is my dev box. I'm using FrontPage Server Extensions with ASP.NET (1.0) to open the project on the server from the dev box. The problem is that disabling the Keep-Alives on the server causes FPSE to refuse to connect! Enabling Keep-Alives on the server allows the dev machine to connect via FPSE, but screws up accessing the page from outside the network. Is there a FPSE configuration to do with Keep-Alives? Sok.

Re: "too many people accessing the Web site"

Hi, I get the same error, on trying by disabling the HTTP Keep-alives option I get another error message box as follows after few seconds.

---------------------------
Microsoft Internet Explorer
---------------------------
Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://localhost/PlgWebHome/TestSection/TestCamera.aspx?.

Operation aborted

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

http://localhost/PlgWebHome/TestSection/TestCamera.aspx? is the url of the accessing page.

what should be done? any help.

Thanks,
