[9.205] HTTP proxy - restarted

Every now and then I notice that my users are getting increasingly annoyed by "The proxy server is not responding" message from IE. So I did some logging, and it seems that the HTTP proxy is shutting down and restarting by itself.

This is what I can see in the log besides normal web browsing.
Does anybody know why this is happening?

Thanks.

  • Ahh yes, forgot about that.  It can happen and be a little misleading.

    There is a memory manager that watches to see if too much memory is being used.  If it detects the system has run out of memory it kills the process that uses the most, which on most systems is the httpproxy.  The proxy might not be the problem, but it is the symptom.

    It WILL appear in one of the logs that it has done this.

    Make sure you are running the latest version.  If you are using a VM or your own box, give it more memory.
