SYMPTOMS

If you attempt to use the FrontPage Personal Web server for extended use, such as a dedicated intranet Web server that you never reboot, the Web server may leak system resources and eventually fail.

Back to the top

The FrontPage Personal Web Server was designed not to be a dedicated Web server, but rather to provide "proofing" functionality to Web authors who develop and test Webs before publishing them to a production server. Because of this, it does not have the same resource management capability that dedicated server software provides.

RESOLUTION

If you need to have a dedicated server, you should upgrade to the Microsoft Personal Web server or Microsoft Internet Information Server.
