Use this button if you need to clear Ektron CMS400.NET's cache, which recycles the application pool. For example, you updated the web.config file but cannot yet see the changes. Under certain circumstances, Ektron's support group may instruct you to click this button. Administrators would use this button if they cannot access the hosting servers yet need to reset their web site. The button is an alternative to submitting a request to their IT department or hosting company. Impact on Ektron CMS400.NET After you click Restart, the first request takes longer than usual since the application needs to recompile. Subsequent requests should be processed normally. To minimize the impact on site visitors, visit your home page immediately after the restart, so that your request is the first "hit." See Also: How Application Pools Work (IIS 6.0) |
