Re: FPSE 2002 on Win 2008 server --> Service Unavailable

I have actually decided not to use this product. Given that my server was straight out-of-the-box with no complicating software beteween the FPSE 2002 and the OS itself, and the fact that the vendor wanted me to pay $400 per hour for support on getting this working, I have decided that this is not a viable product... at least not for me.

I disentagled FrontPage server extensions from my multiple sites over the weekend and am now using WebDAV instead.

Thank you for the offer of help anyway...

Can you go deeper on using PROCMON to decern this problem.

Thanks

OK, I should have read the previous post about removing RPC proxy more closely. I did that and now the FPSE work as indicated. Of course, now my TS Gateway is disabled, so nothing is ever quite easy.

I am a new user to the FPSE product, and am experiencing the exact same problem with identical error messages. I do NOT have any SQL Server involved on my system, however. I also do not have any ISAPI filters configured for the SharePoint Web site that this product creates. Yet the AppPool keeps stopping and this prevents the product from working.

Sounds like there's a real bug here!

Greetings all,

Let me first apologize for me late reply, but I've been on holiday :-)

I tried to uninstall RPC over HTTP on my server and after that FPSE worked 100%. Just wanted to let everybody know that it solved my problem and also say thanks to everyone included...

Best for the day to you all!!

"appcmd add backup" and "appcmd restore backup" provides ability todo backup restore - there is also auto-backup created periodically which you can restore using appcmd - you cannot export part of the configuration and import it though.

Thanks for this pointer to the other thread, Anil. We independently uninstalled IIS7 and then reinstalled it without rpc/http (simply because we weren't using it) and the problem went away. Original problem with the Jet engine also went away.

In doing this we were surprised to find that there is no way to export the IIS config and then import it again. We found Export Configuration in IIS | Management | Shared Configuration, but no way to import it. I guess we could have just run the shared configuration.

rpcproxy.dll is not supported in 32-bit mode on 64-bit OS - if you need to run in 32-bit mode - please look at this thread for your options regarding this.

We are having similar problems. We have 3 new Win2008 servers that we are trying to put into production. We've been testing everything out on one that is dedicated to development, and it has been running fine for 2 mos up until yesterday. One of the apps we were in final stages of testing was trying to open an Excel spreadsheet and throwing an exception 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine'. Google found links that 32-bit apps needed to be enabled for the appPool. As soon as we did this then the appPool shut down giving the 503 Service Unavailable error, with the following events

AppEvent 2280 RpcProxy.dll failed to load.
SysEvent 5139 Listener channel failure

within hours all other websites on the dev server also shut down! At this point we are completely down, as this has impacted our bug tracking, source code control, CMS site, etc. Turning 32-bit off doesn't help. Tried restarting appPools, WAS, webservice all without resolution. ProcMon shows a couple of dozen Name Not Found results, but nothing definitive. IIS is running under NetworkService

Hey Mile,

I have the same exact problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Greetings,

I have just installed FPSE 2008 on a Win 2008 server.

When I go to the IIS 7 management console and to the Microsoft SharePoint Administration site and try to open the Server Administration page I only get the HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable page.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to help me solve the problem?

Have a good one

Mile

This means that this dll (or one of its dependencies) is not found - you can see if the dll itself is missing (by using dir) or its dependencies (by using procmon) or remove the ISAPI filter from IIS configuration if you do not need it.

I also imagine this could also mean that the dll (or a dependency) is not registered. You could get similar error behaviour if this is the case.

What is the data (error code) in the event? You may have to go to "detailed view" or "XML view" to see it.
