    Active Server Pages Service starts and stops

    Reply Contact

    Hello,
    I have a Windows 2000 SP4 which is hosting many web sites. In the event Viewer i see many recurring logs with the following events
    1.Active server pages service started
    2.Active server pages service stopped
    3.W3ctrs- W3svc could not query performance counter.

    Any idea what these are ???
    There are no schedule tasks for stopping and starting the service

    This service is not the ASP that comes with IIS / Windows 2000 ... you have some other service doing this that you installed outside of the operating system.

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks for your response...i was witing for a responsse for over a month now...however, i am still facing this issue.

    I am aware that this service is not inbuilt. However, isin't active server pages related to IIS??

    And I am not sure why I am receiving the W3ctr errors either.

    Please advise.

    Thanks

    Sam

    Actualy, I was mistaken, in Windows 2000, Active Server Pages was a separate service (in future versions of IIS it is not). 

    Most perf counter event log messages are due to performance constraints (too many websites, so the performance counter data could not be consumed).  We fixed much of this in IIS6 so that it would scale to thousands of websites and still have reasonable performance counter data collection. 

    Please, let us know what the event ID is, and also is ASP crashing only when certain scripts are being run?  Perhaps you can check your w3svc log for strange looking requests that are causing problems for ASP. 

    Dave
