Nope, you aren't alone. And no, this isn't 'bitrot', or solar flares or voodoo curses. This has occurred to me before and after complete reinstalls, before and after applying the 'don't interact with the desktop' suggestion above, before and after multiple reinstalls of subsonic, and before and after searching the log files for clues (there are no, as far as I can see. Any warnings in the logs ('couldn't load a jpg, for example') don't coincide with when the server stops responding.
While I'm in no position to be an authority, I find it unlikely that it's hardware either: Subsonic isn't doing anything incredibly esoteric: it's a glorified web/file server, running on a VM, FFS. The hardware I am using here is a plain dell server 400SC. I have no antivirus or other meddlesome software running on this machine. There are a pair of bit torrent applications, neither of which have ever so much as hiccuped.
The server application is still running according to the windows task manager, and 'auto-running' according to the tray icon applet, which usually, though not always red, when it's down. Looking in the Services section of the administrative tools verifies that the server is running, just not responding. Stop and starting the server, or killing it in the task manager and restarting it, make no difference: only a full reboot does.
In any case, there is no workaround apart from a regular reboot, which may be unworkable in some situations, like mine.
Is this just a windows seven problem? I have not seen users on anyother platforms complaining about this.
