FP author.exe high cpu hangs web server

B

Please help,

I run into a problem with FP hang while publishing web.

I have a large site with several subweb that have many files in it. The
following problem occurs occasionally. When I publish new files to
subweb, FP sometime hangs.

I then ssh to the system and found that author.exe drain out 98% of the
memory (512 MB memory total). Killing this process seems to fix this
hang problem.

Does anyone have any permanent solution to this problem?


Thanks,
Brian

I'm a little confused. You mention high CPU usage, and then mention high RAM usage.

Which is it??

Hi CPU usage. Several posting on googles from various users, but no
definitive resolution.

What FrontPage version? What operating system?? And what steps are you taking to publish.
Also, Norton AV is "known" for maxing out CPU's by way of it's "check every document" option. Are
you using Norton??

I would use a combination of Microsoft's Debugging Tools for Windows and
Perfmon to troubleshoot this. By using Perfmon, you can identify the
threads in frontpg.exe that are taking CPU cycles. You can then attach to
frontpg.exe using windbg and dump out that/those threads to see what's going
on.

I realize that most FrontPage developers don't do this kind of work, but if
you search on "Debugging Tools for Windows" at Microsoft's site, you can
download the debugger and it has full docs.
