[Pharo-users] Re: Seaside disappearing under Windows

[David Pennington]

I am sure that I do. In any case both the Windows machines have double the memory of the Mac and the Mac is still going.

Hence, I have fixed my MacBookAir so that it stays alive with the lid down and I am now using that as my Seaside server. It has been up for the last 4 days so it seems that this is a Windows only problem and (hopefully) not my code.

I believe you are using some form of persistency that you built yourself, with data written in STON to files. Assuming you store each object in its own file, you are then also doing a lot of IO. Are you sure that you are properly closing your file streams, in all circumstances ?

It is possibly that you run out of IO resources.

Also, garbage collection on a server image (without a UI) is sometimes a bit strange, it can take a while to kick in.

I am just guessing here.

It is still not good that the image/vm quits without any notice, that is for sure.
