I am running a simple query to get data out of my database & display them. I'm getting an error that says Response Buffer Limit Exceeded.
Error is : Response object error 'ASP 0251 : 80004005'
Response Buffer Limit Exceeded
/abc/test_maintenanceDetail.asp, line 0
Execution of the ASP page caused the Response Buffer to exceed its configured limit.
I have also tried Response.flush in my loop and also use response.buffer = false in my top of the page, but still I am not getting any data.
My database contains 5600 records for that, Please give me some steps or code to solve the issue.
I know this is way late, but for anyone else who encounters this problem: If you are using a loop of some kind (in my case, a Do-While) to display the data, make sure that you are moving to the next record (in my case, a rs.MoveNext).
Here is what a Microsoft support page says about this:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/944886/error-message-when-you-use-the-response-binarywrite-method-in-iis-6-an.
But it’s easier in the GUI:
In Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, click on ASP.
Change Behavior > Limits Properties > Response Buffering Limit from 4 MB to 64 MB.
Apply and restart.
The reason this is happening is because buffering is turned on by default, and IIS 6 cannot handle the large response.
In Classic ASP, at the top of your page, after <%#Language="VBScript"%> add:
<%Response.Buffer = False%>
In ASP.NET, you would add Buffer="False" to your Page directive.
For example:
<%#Page Language="C#" Buffer="False"%>
I faced the same kind of issue, my IIS version is 8.5. Increased the Response Buffering Limit under the ASP -> Limit Properties solved the issue.
In IIS 8.5, select your project, you can see the options in the right hand side. In that under the IIS, you can see the ASP option.
In the option window increase the Response Buffering Limit to 40194304 (approximately 40 MB) .
Navigate away from the option, in the right hand side top you can see the Actions menu, Select Apply. It solved my problem.
If you are not allowed to change the buffer limit at the server level, you will need to use the <%Response.Buffer = False%> method.
HOWEVER, if you are still getting this error and have a large table on the page, the culprit may be table itself. By design, some versions of Internet Explorer will buffer the entire content between before it is rendered to the page. So even if you are telling the page to not buffer the content, the table element may be buffered and causing this error.
Some alternate solutions may be to paginate the table results, but if you must display the entire table and it has thousands of rows, throw this line of code in the middle of the table generation loop: <% Response.Flush %>. For speed considerations, you may also want to consider adding a basic counter so that the flush only happens every 25 or 100 lines or so.
Drawbacks of not buffering the output:
slowdown of overall page load
tables and columns will adjust their widths as content is populated (table appears to wiggle)
Users will be able to click on links and interact with the page before it is fully loaded. So if you have some javascript at the bottom of the page, you may want to move it to the top to ensure it is loaded before some of your faster moving users click on things.
See this KB article for more information http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925764
Hope that helps.
Thank you so much!
<%Response.Buffer = False%> worked like a charm!
My asp/HTML table that was returning a blank page at about 2700 records. The following debugging lines helped expose the buffering problem: I replace the Do While loop as follows and played with my limit numbers to see what was happening:
Replace
Do While not rs.EOF
'etc .... your block of code that writes the table rows
rs.moveNext
Loop
with
Do While reccount < 2500
if rs.EOF then recount = 2501
'etc .... your block of code that writes the table rows
rs.moveNext
Loop
response.write "recount = " & recount
raise or lower the 2500 and 2501 to see if it is a buffer problem. for my record set, I could see that the blank page return, blank table, was happening at about 2700 records, good luck to all and thank you again for solving this problem! Such a simple great solution!
You can increase the limit as follows:
Stop IIS.
Locate the file %WinDir%\System32\Inetsrv\Metabase.xml
Modify the AspBufferingLimit value. The default value is 4194304, which is about 4 MB.
Changing it to 20MB (20971520).
Restart IIS.
One other answer to the same error message (this just fixed my problem) is that the System drive was low on disk space. Meaning about 700kb free. Deleting a lot of unused stuff on this really old server and then restarting IIS and the website (probably only IIS was necessary) cause the problem to disappear for me.
I'm sure the other answers are more useful for most people, but for a quick fix, just make sure that the System drive has some free space.
I rectified the error 'ASP 0251 : 80004005' Response Buffer Limit as follow:
To increase the buffering limit in IIS 6, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
cd /d %systemdrive%\inetpub\adminscripts
Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs SET w3svc/aspbufferinglimit LimitSize
Note LimitSize represents the buffering limit size in bytes. For example, the number 67108864 sets the buffering limit size to 64 MB.
To confirm that the buffer limit is set correctly, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
cd /d %systemdrive%\inetpub\adminscripts
Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs GET w3svc/aspbufferinglimit
refers to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/944886
If you are looking for the reason and don't want to fight the system settings, these are two major situations I faced:
You may have an infinite loop without next or recordest.movenext
Your text data is very large but you think it is not! The common reason for this situation is to copy-paste an Image from Microsoft word directly into the editor and so the server translates the image to data objects and saves it in your text field. This can easily occupies the database resources and causes buffer problem when you call the data again.
In my case i just have writing this line before rs.Open .....
Response.flush
rs.Open query, conn
It can be due to CursorTypeEnum also. My scenario was the initial value equal to CursorTypeEnum.adOpenStatic 3.
After changed to default, CursorTypeEnum.adOpenForwardOnly 0, it backs to normal.

Imagine that you click on an element using RSelenium on a page and would like to retrieve the results from the resulting page. How does one check to make sure that the resulting page has loaded? I can insert Sys.sleep() in between processing the page and clicking the element but this seems like a very ugly and slow way to do things.
Set ImplicitWaitTimeout and then search for an element on the page. From ?remoteDriver
setImplicitWaitTimeout(milliseconds = 10000)
Set the amount of time
the driver should wait when searching for elements. When searching for
a single element, the driver will poll the page until an element is
found or the timeout expires, whichever occurs first. When searching
for multiple elements, the driver should poll the page until at least
one element is found or the timeout expires, at which point it will
return an empty list. If this method is never called, the driver will
default to an implicit wait of 0ms.
In the RSelenium reference manual (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RSelenium/RSelenium.pdf), you will find the method setTimeout() for the remoteDriver class:
setTimeout(type = "page load", milliseconds = 10000)
Configure the amount of time that a particular type of operation can execute for before they are aborted and a |Timeout| error is returned to the client.
type: The type of operation to set the timeout for. Valid values are: "script" for script timeouts, "implicit" for modifying the implicit wait timeout and "page load" for setting a page load timeout. Defaults to "page load"
milliseconds: The amount of time, in milliseconds, that time-limited commands are permitted to run. Defaults to 10000 milliseconds.
This seems to suggests that remDr$setTimeout() after remDr$navigate("...") would actually wait for the page to load, or return a timeout error after 10 seconds.
you can also try out this code that waits for the browser to provide whether page loaded or not.
objExecutor = (JavascriptExecutor) objDriver;
if (!objExecutor.executeScript("return document.readyState").toString()
.equalsIgnoreCase("complete")){
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
You can simply put it in your base page so you wont need to write it down in every pageobjects. I have never tried it out with any AJAX enabled sites, but this might help you and your scenario dependency will also get away.
I have created break point in my cs file.and run application.By pressing f11,it moves to next line in code.when data get fill from server to dataset,that time is moving directly to my browser(local host page).Then I am manually moving to cs file again.then it moves to catch block.That means error at the time of filling dataset,right?
If you're not able to see what exception you had or if the try-catch block is in some general area, outside of the scope that you're debugging, you might be having some kind of timeout. IIS, for example, would throw ThreadAbortException and kill your current thread if it doesn't get a http response after the time specified in web.config -> httpRunTime -> executionTimeout. Check that this is not too little (make it definitely bigger than the time it takes to fetch the slowest query result).
This one is driving me crazy.
Replaced our old Windows 2000 web server with a Windows 2008 one which means moving to IIS7.
Now the move went smoothly except for the search catalogs we had set up on the old machine.
I added the Indexing Service and created the catalog for our website.
However, now the classic ASP page that queries the catalog is behaving strangely.
Specifically, the "vpath" and "doctitle" are blank. Other fields are being returned correctly like "characterization" and "rank" but others are not.
And the most annoying part is anytime I make a change to the search results page I get this error:
The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.
...and I have to wait a couple of seconds before retrying. And then the page will come up fine. Very bizarre.
Anyway, here's the classic ASP code:
Set objQuery = Server.CreateObject("ixsso.Query")
With objQuery
.Catalog = "Website"
.Columns = "doctitle, vpath, size, characterization, rank"
.SortBy = "rank[d], doctitle"
.MaxRecords = 50
End With
objQuery.Query = "(#filename *.asp) AND (#contents " & Request.Form("searchterms") & ")"
Set rsSystem = objQuery.CreateRecordset("nonsequential")
Do Until rsSystem.EOF
%><dt><% = rsSystem("doctitle") %></dt>
<dd><% = rsSystem("characterization") %>...</dd><%
rsSystem.MoveNext
Loop
Anyone else experience this?
Thanks.
The first thing you should do is to Enable IIS's detailed errors, to indicate which line of code is causing this error specifically.
Read the following page's "2) Enable IIS7 detailed errors" section, and give it a try. I hope it will help you some.

I have a classic ASP CRM that was built by a third party company. Currently, I have access to the source code and am able to make any changes required.
Randomly throughout the day, usually after some prolonged usage by users, most of my pages start getting an Out of Memory error.
The way that the application is built, is all the pages and scripts pull core functions from a Global.asp file. In that file are embeds to other global files as well, but the error presented shows
Out Of Memory
WhateverScriptYouTriedToRun.asp Line 0
Line 0 is the include for the global.asp file. Once the error occurs, after an unspecified amount of time the error occurence subsides for some time but then begins to reoccur again. With how the application is written, and the functions it uses, and the "diagnostics" I've already done - it seems to be a common used function that is withholding data such as recordset or something of that nature and then not releasing it properly. Other users then try to use the same function and eventually it just fills up causing the error. The only way for me to effectively clear the error is to actually restart IIS, Recycle the App Pool, and Restart the SQL Server Services.
Needless to say, myself and my users are getting annoyed....
I can't pinpoint the error due to the actual error message presented being Line 0 - but from there I have no idea where in the 20K lines of code it could be hanging up. Any thoughts or ideas on how to isolate or at least point me in the right direction to begin clearing this up? Is there a way for me to increase "memory" size for VBScript? I know there is a limitation but is it set at say...512K and you can increase it to 1GB?
Here are things I have tried:
Removing SQL Inline statements into Views
Going through several hundred scripts and ensuring that every OpenConnection & OpenRecordSet is followed by an appropriate Close.
Going through the Global File and commenting out any large SQL statements such as ApplicationLog (A function that writes the executed query into a table).
Some smaller script edits.
Common Memory Leak
You say you are closing all recordsets and connections which is good.
But are you deleting objects?
For example:
Set adoCon = new
Set rsCommon = new
'Do query stuff
'You do this:
rsCommon.close
adocon.close
'But do you do this?
Set adoCon = nothing
Set rsCommon = nothing
No garbage collection in classic ASP, so any objects not destroyed will remain in memory.
Also, ensure your closes/nothings are run in every branch. For example:
adocon.open
rscommon.open etc
'Sql query
myData = rscommon("condition")
if(myData) then
response.write("ok")
else
response.redirect("error.asp")
end if
'close
rsCommon.close
adocon.close
Set adoCon = nothing
Set rsCommon = nothing
Nothing is closed/destroyed before the redirect so it will only empty memory some of the time as not all branches of logic lead to the proper memory clearance.
Better Design
Also unfortunately it sounds like the website wasn't designed well. I always structure my classic ASP as:
<%
Option Explicit
'Declare all vars
Dim this
Dim that
'Open connections
Set adoCon...
adocon.open()
'Fetch required data
rscommon.open strSQL, adoCon
this = rsCommon.getRows()
rsCommon.close
'Fetch something else
rscommon.open strSQL, adoCon
that = rsCommon.getRows()
rsCommon.close
'Close connections and drop objects
adoCon.close
set adoCon = nothing
set rscommon = nothing
'Process redirects
if(condition) then
response.redirect(url)
end if
%>
<html>
<body>
<%
'Use data
for(i = 0 to ubound(this,2)
response.write(this(0, i) & " " & this(1, i) & "<br />")
next
%>
</body>
</html>
Hope some of this helped.
Have you looked at using a memory monitoring tool to see how much memory fragmentation is happening? My guess at a possible cause is that some object of a size is trying to be created but there isn't enough room in the memory to store it as one contiguous chunk. Imagine needing room to store an object that would take 100 MB and while there may be several hundred megabytes free, the largest contiguous chunk is 90MB then this doesn't fit.
Debug Diagnostic Tool v1.1 would be a tool where Bernard's articles may help in understanding how to use the tool.
Another thought is the question of how much string concatenation is there in the code? I remember where I used to work had problems with doing a lot of string concatenation operations that sucked up memory that may be another idea to consider.
Yeah, I could see some shock at that kind of number the first few times you see it but then if you understand what the code is doing it may make sense for why so much space gets reserved right off the bat at times.
I haven't used that debug tool specifically but I did have a tool that took a snapshot of memory when pages were hung so I couldn't tell if there was a performance impact of the tool or not. Course in my case I used a similar tool in 2004 so it has been a few years since I've had to research this kind of issue.
Just going to throw this in here, but this problem has taken a long time to solve. Here's a breakdown of what we did:
We took all the inline SQL and made SQL Views, every SELECT statement is now handled with a VIEW first.
I took every single SQL INSERT and UPDATE (as much as I could without breaking the system) and put them into Stored Procedures.
#2 was the one item that really made the biggest difference
Went through several thousand scripts, and ensured that variables were properly disposed of, and all the DB Open Connections were followed correctly with a Close Connection and same with Open/Close RecordSet.
One of the slow killers was doing something like:
ID = Request.QueryString("ID)
at the top of the page. Before redirecting, or closing a page, there is always a:
Set ID = Nothing
or the complete removal of the inference.
I have an ASP.NET site (VB.NET) that I'm trying to clean up. When it was originally created it was written with no error handling, and I'm trying to add it in to improve the User Experience.
Try
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(strMfgName) And Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(strSortType) Then
If Integer.TryParse(Request.QueryString("CategoryID"), i) And String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString("CategoryID"))
MyDataGrid.DataSource = ProductCategoryDB.GetMfgItems(strMfgName, strSortType, i)
Else
MyDataGrid.DataSource = ProductCategoryDB.GetMfgItems(strMfgName, strSortType)
End If
MyDataGrid.DataBind()
If CType(MyDataGrid.DataSource, DataSet).Tables("Data").Rows.Count > 0 Then
lblCatName.Text = CType(MyDataGrid.DataSource, DataSet).Tables("Data").Rows(0).Item("mfgName")
End If
If MyDataGrid.Items.Count < 2 Then
cboSortTypes.Visible = False
table_search.Visible = False
End If
If MyDataGrid.PageCount < 2 Then
MyDataGrid.PagerStyle.Visible = False
End If
Else
lblCatName.Text &= "<br /><span style=""fontf-size: 12px;"">There are no items for this manufacturer</span>"
MyDataGrid.Visible = False
table_search.Visible = False
End If
Catch
lblCatName.Text &= "<br /><span style=""font-size: 12px;"">There are no items for this manufacturer</span>"
MyDataGrid.Visible = False
table_search.Visible = False
End Try
Now, this is trying to avoid generating a 500 error by catching exceptions. There can be three items on the query string, but only two matter here. In my test environment and in Visual Studio when I run this site, it doesn't matter if that item is on the query string. In production, it does matter. If that third item isn't present (SubCategoryID) on the query string, then the "There are no items for this manufacturer" displays instead of the data from the database.
In the two different environments I am seeing two different code execution paths, despite the same URLs and the same code base.
The site is running on Server 2003 with IIS 6.
Thoughts?
EDIT:
In response to the answer below, I doubt it's a connection error (though I see what you're getting to), as when I add the SubCategoryID to the query string, the site works correctly (displaying data from the database).
Also, if please let me know if you have any suggestions for how to test this scenario, without deploying the code back to production (it's been rolled back).
I think you should try to print out the exception details in your catch block to see what the problem is. It could anything for example a connection error to your database.
The error could be anything, and you should definitely consider printing this out or logging it somewhere, rather than making the assumption that there's no data. You're also outputting the same error message to the UI for two different code paths, which makes things harder to debug, especially without knowing if an exception occurred, and if so, what it was.
Generally, it's also better not to have a catch for all exceptions in cases like this, especially without logging the error. Instead, you should catch specific exceptions and handle these appropriately, and any real exceptions can get passed up the stack, ideally to a global error handler which can log it and/or send out some kind of error notification.
I discovered the reason yesterday. In short it was because when I copied my files from my computer into my dev-test environment, I missed a file, which ironically caused it to work, rather than not. So in the end it would have functioned the same in both environments.
