After searching the forums for a bit, I haven't found anything exactly like what's happening with my ASP pages, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to start a new thread.
I have an online application made up of ASP pages (IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000 Server) drawing data from a SQL Server database. Most of the time, everything works exactly as it should. Connections are opened to the database, queries are run and data is returned and writen out, connections are closed, etc.
However, every so often a page simply won't load. It isn't trying to load and then timing out or anything, it's like it's ignoring the page entirely. It shows the correct URL in the address bar of IE, but there's nothing but a blank white page displayed. Viewing the source of the blank page reveals that instead of the correct code for the page, we get this:
Refreshing the page will make it load correctly, although sometimes it can take quite a few refreshes before it does. The problem seems more prevalent when we have multiple users on the system at once. The problem also seems to go away right after the IIS service is restarted and will come back after the system has been in use for a while.
In general, what kind of situations would cause an ASP page not to load at all, not to return any kind of error, and simply be replaced by the blank code above? Any tips on what I should be looking for to narrow this down would be greatly appreciated.
