Timeout reading page list errors

Vote:
 
We have a developed a site that will start throwing "EPiServer.Core.EPiServerException: Timeout reading page list" errors. This usually happens on the site itself and sometimes in the navigation pane of the edit section. The site is running in its own App Pool which when restarted stops the errors appearing. But only briefly. Here is the stack trace: [EPiServerException: Timeout reading page list] EPiServer.DataFactoryCache.ᐁ(PageReference ) +759 EPiServer.DataFactory.ᐁ(PageReference ) +165

Hi Jason, Have you been able to fix this problem yet? We've currently in the same situation ourselves. Please assist if possible. Sincerely, Ronny Dahl (mail@ronnydahl.com)

Hi Ronny, I work with Jason and, I'm afraid, I may have bad news for you. We were NOT able to fix this issue. We bsaically worked around it. We discovered we had some code in a library that was doing a LARGE number of page reads to help produce some dynamic data. In order to fix this problem we ended up caching some of the search results that were being executed by the library that were being frequently called. This solved all of our problems we were experiencing and also increased the performance of the system. I recommend you seriously consider the design of your site and perhaps rethink any parts of it that may be pulling dynamic content in. Cheers, Cameron

We have an installation where the same problem occurs now and then. This is very strange, because: * The error (timeout reading page list) is thrown quickly. Within half a second or so. * There is hardly any load on the site. Very few visitors. * The error sometimes occur on page lists containing only a handful of pages. I would be very grateful for tips regarding how to solve this issue!

Hmm... Sounds a bit like re-inventing the wheel when you have to create a custom caching solution to cache pages already cached by EPiServer... Has anyone at EPiServer looked into this, and tried to reproduce the errors? Are there any load test reports available where you can see how many simultaneous users EPiServer can handle before it starts dumping error messages everywhere? Regards, /Patrik

Hi all. This issue has now been fixed in Hotfix 5 for 4.61.

In some special cases this has not been resolved in hotfix 5. We have made a inofficial hofix 6 that will be included in version 4.62 that will be released soon. If this is a critical problem for anyone, please contact Episerver support (http://www.episerver.com/en/EPiServer_Knowledge_Center/Support/)and we will send this hofix to you.
