I have a Ruby on Rails Website that makes HTTP calls to an external Web Service. About once a day I get a SystemExit (stacktrace below) error email where a call to the service has failed. If I then try the exact same query on my site moments later it works fine. It's been happening since the site went live and I've had no luck tracking...
Hi all, We're running a custom application on our intranet and we have found a problem after upgrading it recently where IIS hangs with 100% CPU usage, requiring a reset. Rather than subject users to the hangs, we've rolled back to the previous release while we determine a solution. The first step is to reproduce the problem -- but we...
I have a web application that sometimes just hangs over heavy load. To make it come back I have to kill the "dllhost.exe" process. Does someone know what to do? This is an Classic ASP (VBScript) app with lots of COM+ objects. The server has the following configuration: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz / 4 GB RAM Windows Server 2003 Web Editi...
An app I'm writing always crashes on a clients computer, but I don't get an exception description, or a stack trace. The only thing I get is a crash report that windows wants to send to Microsoft. I would like to get that dump file and investigate it myself, but I cannot find it. When I "View the contents of the error report" I can see ...
Does anyone know of a good crash reporting library for C#? In C++ there is CrashRpt available, so I'd like something along those lines. Ideally I'd like the library to zip up general information about the computer, and a crash mini dump file. I would also need a library that is free for commercial use and that has source code availa...
In my work environment, Visual Studio currently crashes every time I start our main project unless I delete the .suo (solution options) and .ncb (C++ Intellisense symbols) files. Obviously, I've found a workaround. Is there a more permanent solution than this? ...
Background: Some time ago, I build a system for recording and categorizing application crashes for one of our internal programs. At the time, I used a combination of frequency and aggregated lost time (the time between the program launch and the crash) for prioritizing types of crashes. It worked reasonably well. Now, The Powers That B...
I have a core dump file from a process that has probably a file descriptor leak (it opens files and sockets but apparently sometimes forgets to close some of them). Is there a way to find out which files and sockets the process had opened before crashing? I can't easily reproduce the crash, so analyzing the core file seems to be the only...
Knowing an exception code, is there a way to find out more about what the actual exception that was thrown means? My exception in question: 0x64487347 Exception address: 0x1 The call stack shows no information. I'm reviewing a .dmp of a crash and not actually debugging in Visual Studio. ...
I'm working on a cross platform application in Java which currently works nicely on Windows, Linux and MacOS X. I'm trying to work out a nice way to do detection (and handling) of 'crashes'. Is there an easy, cross-platform way to detect 'crashes' in Java and to do something in response? I guess by 'crashes' I mean uncaught exceptions. ...
I am working on an ASP.NET web application, it seems to be working properly when I try to debug it in Visual Studio. However when I emulate heavy load, IIS crashes without any trace -- log entry in the system journal is very generic, "The World Wide Web Publishing service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 4 time(s)." How is it po...
I have heard using PDB files can help diagnose where a crash occurred. My basic understanding is that you give Visual studio the source file, the pdb file and the crash information (from Dr Watson?) Can someone please explain how it all works / what is involved? (Thank you!) ...
When my c++ app crashes I would like to generate a stacktrace. I already asked this but I guess I needed to clarify my needs. My app is being run by many different users and it also runs on Linux, Windows and Macintosh ( all versions are compiled using gcc ). I would like my program to be able to generate a stack trace when it crashes...
I have an Apache 2 installation on Debian with mod_ssl installed. The server private key is protected by a passphase that needs to be entered on start-up. The error and access logs are subject to logrotate on a weekly basis. I find that Apache crashes with a passphrase-related error shortly after logrotate runs. I understand that log...
What's the best way to detect an application crash in XP (produces the same pair of 'error' windows each time - each with same window title) and then restart it? I'm especially interested to hear of solutions that use minimal system resources as the system in question is quite old. I had thought of using a scripting language like Auto...
Visual Studio randomly crashes when adding/removing references and projects. Any thoughts why? Will installing Sp1 help? EDIT: I do not work with any addons except SourceSafe. I do most of my development in connected mode. Developing using: Visual Studio 2008 WinXp Terminal Service -> Win2k3 Sp2 (64bit) VSS 8.0, 32bit ...
Hi all, I have some problems with Miktex installed on Windows Vista Business SP1/32 bit. I use miktex 2.7, ghostscript, and texniccenter 1 beta 7.50. When I compile a document with the following profiles: Latex=>DVI, Latex=>PDF everything works fine; the system crashes when I compile with profiles Latex=>PS and Latex=>PS=>PDF. The error...
Our application is a hybrid Win32 unmanaged application and a .NET 2.0 managed application. The Win32 part is the main executable, which at some point loads and hosts the .NET 2.0 runtime and loads some managed modules to open new winforms windows. We've had our share of CASPOL-type problems, but today we have a very odd problem and I'm...
I have a very serious problem with Visual Studio 2008. Occasionally when I right-click (for go to definition, set next statement etc) when I'm debugging, Visual Studio will just dead-lock and go into not responding mode. Has anyone had the same problem? Does anyone know how to solve it? Edit: I'm using SP1 with a couple of hot-fixes. ...
Hey guys, I am trying to figure out a crash in my application. WinDbg tells me the following: (using dashes in place of underscores) LAST-CONTROL-TRANSFER: from 005f5c7e to 6e697474 DEFAULT-BUCKET-ID: BAD_IP BUGCHECK-STR: ACCESS-VIOLATION It is obvious to me that 6e697474 is NOT a valid address. I have three questions: 1) Does t...
