kalyse Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I am having a prblem with IIS on my Master Server. I have this error regularly. About once an hour. The page cannot be displayed There are too many people accessing the Web site at this time. Please try the following: * Click the Refresh button, or try again later. * Open the server.invision-gaming.co.uk home page, and then look for links to the information you want. HTTP 403.9 - Access Forbidden: Too many users are connected Internet Information Services Technical Information (for support personnel) * Background: This error can occur if the Web server is busy and cannot process your request due to heavy traffic. * More information: Microsoft Support What do you think the issue could be? I am not sure because I have little experience with IIS. I have set the max connections to 40 in the script file aswell, but its still regularly causing outages which are very problematic. ============ Secondly Unrelated to TCAdmin, does anyone know why my GameServer for HL2DeathMatchis continously crashing? Its only when the game type is Death match that it happens. I get Memory problems and the game crashes. ============= Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 What operating system is that server running? Win2k3? Win2k WinXP? If you are running either Win2000 Pro or WinXP, both have a hard coded limit of 10 connections at once to IIS, and a timeout value of 900 seconds. These valuse cannot be changed in the above mentioned operating systems. You will need to get Windows 2000 or 2003 server software to allow more connections.

kalyse Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Okay well, It is WindowsXP, I thought the value could be changed from 10? Maybe I was wrong. Can you explain the timeout value of 900 seconds. How does this work? It looks like I should move the Master Server onto one of the Server2003 Boxes I have. How difficult is this to do and can I do it without any disruption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 When a user connects to IIS it holds that session open for 900 seconds. when the session expires, then it releases that connection slot so to speak. So if you have 10 people connect at the same time, then users will need to wait 15 minutes before someone else can access IIS running on WinXP. WinXP is not designed as a server OS. So to correct your problem you will need Windows 2000 or 2003 Server which do not have this limitation for IIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalyse Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Well, I will move off, can you explain the easiest way to change a remote server into a master, and my master into a remote? Is it as simple as just running the Installer again and moving the files over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogie Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I'd put in a ticket for LFA to do it... he has done it for me a couple times, and it involves editing the SQL records... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalyse Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 I will do it, I just need to know the best way, if its too difficult then it might be best for LFA, but until i know it is too dififcult I can have a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougK94 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I was all set to move mine, but LFA did it. I think I could have done it myself, but I guess he figured it was easier and faster for him to do it rather than to answer a flury of frantic support tickets So your best bet is to submit a ticket asking him to do it for you as Hogie suggested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
