There seems to be something that causes your channels to occasionally hang.  The reason why this would be happening is not clear, but there are several possibilities, such as the use of Illegal Commands as outlined in the FoxWeb documentation, rogue 3rd-party components, broken network connections between FoxWeb and database tables, or other network resources it tries to access.

 

One method you can use to identify the problem is to disable the "Run as Service" and "hide Channels" options in the FoxWeb configuration and then restart FoxWeb. You should now be able to see a separate icon for each channel in the task bar. Size and arrange the channel windows on your screen, so that they are all visible at the same time.  Call the offending script(s) and then minimize your browser window, so that the channel windows are visible. Look for a dialog box, or other indication that a channel is waiting for user input. In most cases, the script tries to use a table that is not open, which causes the Open Table dialog to pop up, halting script execution.  If you can't find a visual indication of the problem, then you may need to trace through your script, using the techniques described in the Troubleshooting chapter.  Once you isolate and fix the problem, you can re-enable the above configuration options as necessary.
