2.0.1 / IIS / .NET instability?

[Andy Morsell]

Hi All,

I migrated my public demo server to 2.0.1 a few weeks ago.  Since then, I have found MapGuide to be much more unstable than it had been previously.  The service completely locks up (although appears started to Windows) and cannot be restarted using normal methods and PSKill is the only solution to restarting it.   When looking at the server, I usually see an unhandled exception error dialog with mgserver.exe the faulting module.   The one thing that is different now is that we’re using a Fusion layout instead of a standard layout for a site that is regularly accessed.  The Windows event logs don’t yield many clues, but the MGOS error.log has many of these entries:

<2008-07-17T00:06:08>   Fusion Viewer   xxx.127.xxx.41  Anonymous

 Error: Invalid argument(s):

        The value cannot be less than or equal to zero.

 StackTrace:

  - MgRenderingServiceHandler.ProcessOperation line 83 file d:\buildforgeprojects\mapguide_open_source_v2.0\build_27.16\mgdev\server\src\services\rendering\RenderingServiceHandler.cpp

  - MgOpQueryFeatures.Execute line 125 file d:\buildforgeprojects\mapguide_open_source_v2.0\build_27.16\mgdev\server\src\services\rendering\OpQueryFeatures.cpp

  - MgServerRenderingService.QueryFeatures line 652 file d:\buildforgeprojects\mapguide_open_source_v2.0\build_27.16\mgdev\server\src\services\rendering\ServerRenderingService.cpp

  - MgServerRenderingService.RenderForSelection line 1041 file d:\buildforgeprojects\mapguide_open_source_v2.0\build_27.16\mgdev\server\src\services\rendering\ServerRenderingService.cpp       Invalid argument(s):

The value cannot be less than or equal to zero.

I know some folks were working on something to determine if the mgserver service had locked up and, if so, restart it.  Was anybody successful in making something like this work?  It’s not fun to hit your map site only to find it not working.

Thanks,

Hello,

 

we are using MGOS 2.0.1 / IIS7 / .NET whith an asp solution and the ajax viewer. We have similar errors when using raster images (GDAL , MrSID and Tiff mages), I think these problems where already discussed a little time ago, but as far as I have seen there are no solution yet ???

 

At the moment we use a little monitoring program written in VB to check every 30 seconds if mgserver is responding using a simple test layout.

 

Unfortunately restart of mgserver results in loss of session data so this is not a perfect solution. I would be very interested in some other ideas how to restart mgserver without loosing all user data, are there any suggestions ??

 

Thanks,

Hans Mörschell

Hi,

Glad I’m not the only one experiencing these problems…. Any chance that your VB monitoring program can be made available to the group?

 

Thanks,

 

Andy

Hallo,

 

below the vb program and the batch file we use, any suggestions for a better solutions are really welcome

 

thanks,

 

Hans

 

===================================

 

batch file for restarting MGOS like this:

 

netsh interface set interface LAN1 disable

taskkill /F /FI "SERVICES eq MapGuideServer2.0"

net stop W3SVC

net stop pgsql-8.2

net stop MapGuideServer2.0

net start W3SVC

net start pgsql-8.2

net start MapGuideServer2.0

netsh interface set interface LAN1 enable

 

===================================

 

this batch file is started by a little vb program (vb.net 2008):

 

- create a form and put the webbrowser control on it:

 

Public Class frmMonitor

 

    Dim LogFileName As String = Application.StartupPath & "\LOG\monitorlog.txt"

    Dim DocLoaded As Boolean

 

    Private Sub frmMonitor_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

 

        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized

 

        If System.IO.File.Exists(LogFileName) = False Then

            System.IO.File.CreateText(LogFileName)

        End If

 

        TimerMonitor.Interval = 30000

        TimerMonitor.Start()

 

    End Sub

 

    Private Sub TimerMonitor_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TimerMonitor.Tick

 

        ' Mapguide Test / IIS Test / PostgreSQL DB Test

                WebBrowserTest.Navigate(u)

 

                While DocLoaded = False

 

                    Application.DoEvents()

 

                    ZeitDiff = DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, StartZeit, Date.Now)

 

                    If ZeitDiff > 10 Then

        Else

 

            WebBrowserTest.Stop()

 

            WriteLog("IIS / MapGuide Server / DB neu gestartet")

            ServerAppRestart()

 

        End If

 

    End Sub

 

    Sub ServerAppRestart()

 

        TimerMonitor.Stop()

 

        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Application.StartupPath & "\mgosiisdbrestart.bat")

 

        TimerMonitor.Interval = 30000

        TimerMonitor.Start()

 

    End Sub

 

    Private Sub btnEnde_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEnde.Click

 

        End

 

    End Sub

        If System.IO.File.Exists(LogFileName) = True Then

 

            Dim strgDate As String = Date.Now.ToString

            strgDate = strgDate & "  "

 

            Dim LogWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(LogFileName, True)

 

            LogWriter.Write(strgDate & LogText & vbCrLf)

 

            LogWriter.Close()

            LogWriter.Dispose()

 

        End If

End Class
