Maybe
you should configure your ASP application not to run integrated with IIS (that
means running in the same address space). If in the same address space the app
goes wild it might hurt also the server code. On IIS 4 this costs some
performance, because of out-of-process marshalling overhead. But it's good for
stability. On IIS 5 (that comes with Win2K) you have an additional option:
running your ASP app in "pooled mode". This has a rather low performance penalty
and still isolates the app address space from the IIS space.

Subject: Active X Python kills IIS!?!hi all
I installed python on a couple of development web servers a while ago and started fooling around with using python in ASP
this morning when I cam in, both servers were failing to process ASP scripts written in either python OR VBScript, and an attempt to load a page caused inetinfo to crank 100% cpu. static pages loaded as normal and everything else seems to work fine. I uninstalled python, and now both servers are working fine (except, obviously, the python scripts)
both machines are running NT4/Sp6a/patches/IIS4 with ADO 2.6 and ActivePython 2.1.0.210 installed.
anywabody have any ideas what went wrong? i've downloaded .211 and will try that on the less crucial machine.
thanks
Jeff Griffiths
