When you configure your IIS webserver and find the following message Service Unavailable Then the first solution to the above error is http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=823552 but if this does not solve the problem try doing the following stuff. Open the IIS Manager, right click Web Sites and select properties: Switch to the Service Tab Check "Run WWW Service in IIS 5.0 Isolation Mode". You will be asked for Restart of IIS. Click yes to restart IIS. If you are not asked just restart IIS.
This solved my problem which occurred after installing VM Server. My question is what does isolation mode really do and why did it fix the problem?
I am getting the service unavilable error in the interval of 3 to 6 months. the application is created using asp and oracle. i can see the following error in the event log. Error: Application pool 'application name' is being automatically disabled due to a series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool. can anyone tell me where is the problem? my application side or iis6 server side?
Hi shabbir, Thanks for the reply, i was getting that error before 6 months. after that i am getting the same error now Regards, Kalees
Hi shabbir, Thanks for the valuable reply, According to that article, we have to install debugger for find out the error that will happen in the next time. I can understand, but my question is whether my application may cause this error or not? if it is so then i have to check my asp pages for infinite loop,syntax errors..etc.But it is a very standard application and running for more than 4 years without problems. Please kindly guide me. Regards, Kalees
The cause of the errors cannot be from the program. It just the problem from the installation or configuration point.
After reading your thread, I have done what it is requested, and Now I am getting an "The requested resource is in use" error. this is after I turned off Friendly error messages in IE. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hello Shabbir, First off, nice forum, thanks for the resources. 2nd, i think the article that would work better for someone setting up a IIS server for the first time would be this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842493 , however, even after i tried what they suggested, i realized that the problem was that i had not logged onto the domain, and instead onto the local machine. The installation of IIS did not create permissions for the domain group IIS_WPG and Network Services. BUT, creating these permissions did not resolve the problem for me. I am sure there are other things that were not configured correctly also, so instead, i just uninstalled IIS, logged onto the domain, and then reinstalled. Now is all beautiful. Thanks, i just thought this info might be useful.
This comes when a server script falls under infinite loop and without any result. We have to re-start the IIS application pool, which will solve the error. We have to correct the script which was causing the error than to point at the fault of IIS. Thanks
