Hi, I get the below error (after clicking login in my home page, so home page works well) when I open my website for the first time after I restart my server or my client machine.
" Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding."
From the next time onwards it is connecting without any problems.
can anyone figure out what could be the problem here?
Are you running SqlExpress?
Did you set the service to start when the server starts? Otherwise it may be getting started on first call and that adds overhead (time) and may be the issue.
|||Yes I use SQLExpress.
Services are fine. It is in autostart mode and so running automatically everytime i restart.
|||Hmm... more then likely either some service or some precompilation is in need of being done.
If you leave your site untouched for an hour and come back, does it timeout again? Trying to see if it's a service or simply the first-hit drain on the system thats causing the issue.
|||this happens only when i use for the first timewww.XXXXXX.com...
I missed the below in my first post and added now
"after clicking login in my home page, so home page works well"
|||Sounds like that's the first call to the DB... so that's most likely the issue.
You may want to hit up the SqlExpress forum...perhaps someone who watches that one will know more but I know I've had it happen in the past but not with regularity... try prefiring a call to the DB from the Application_Start in the global.asax perhaps, to take that initial hit...
