Server Avanced 7 crashing our server

[jtscott]

We're using FM7 Server Advanced to host a database to be accessed mainly via IWP (with some FM clients too). The database has scripts which check the client version and jump to client-specific or IWP-specific layouts and scripts accordingly.

Today, we ran a session to test it for the first time under load. Our server - an Intel Xeon 3.2GHz with 1GB RAM (which isn't running enything else) - crashed several times when under load. The number of concurrent IWP users varied from around 10 - 50, all accessing from our corporate LAN. The server logs indicate issues with some of my scripts (all web compatible) and the CPU load was at 100% for much of the time.

My understanding is that FM 7 Server Advanced should be able to handle this many IWP users on a server of this specification with relative ease.

Are there updates which might resolve this issue? Or are we asking too much of FM 7 SA?

Comments/suggestions would be most welcome.
