The System Resources Exceeded error message on Loopia Windows hosting (IIS with ASP) is usually caused by using a Microsoft Access database in an environment, or in a way, that Microsoft does not recommend. This article explains the common causes so you can troubleshoot the issue on your ASP website.
Common causes
The most common mistakes made with Access databases that lead to this error are:
- Not properly closing the connections to the database.
- The database, or the connection to it, is not optimised.
- Too many simultaneous connections to the database.
Moving to a more robust database
If you continue to see the error after addressing these points, consider migrating to a proper database engine such as MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server, which are designed for concurrent web use.
