The Service is unavailable, to one site but available to others in same app pool

glaze — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 03:21:17 GMT

Ok, so I have 7 web sites running through the same application pool. 6 of which are working just fine the other is not. I have 1 other website running the same model of site as the one that is not working.

www.glazedproductions.com - is working DefaultAppPool

www.ricestreetmusic.com - is not working same application pool

I have tried to recycle the application pool to no avail, and almost thought this could be a php issue, but thats not it either, becuase both sites use php, and one is working and the other is not.

I have no errors in my log files but I do have this 1 information event...

Log Name:      System
Source:        Microsoft-Windows-WAS

Description:
A worker process with process id of '4708' serving application pool 'DefaultAppPool' was shutdown due to inactivity. Application Pool timeout configuration was set to 20 minutes. A new worker process will be started when needed.

Thats all I have to go on... if anyone can help me out it would truly appreciated. This is a client site that is not functional right now, and I have been all over google looking for answers but nothing I come across seems to work.

Error 503 after upgrading to Vista SP1

Tomas Vercetti — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 11:23:20 GMT

After installation of SP1 on my Vista 64 I began to receive "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable." The DefaultAppPool dies after each request attempt. If it matters I have VS 2008 installed.

The eventID of IIS-W3SVC-WP is 2276 in the “Application” windows event log. Error code is 80070005 (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED). When I click IIS Manager -> Sites -> Default Web Site -> Basic Settings -> Test Settings I get the following results:

Authentication - Pass-through authentication (DefaultAppPool:NetworkService). Details: The application pool identity is valid;

Authorization - Cannot verify access to path (C:\inetpub\wwwroot). Details: The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that <domain>\<computer_name>$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again.

As in the post http://forums.iis.net/p/1132975/1803211.aspx#1803211 if I give a permissions for the Network Service user to applicationHost.config AND to the "C:\inetpub\temp\appPools" IIS seems working. But the error about "Authorization - Cannot verify access to path (C:\inetpub\wwwroot)" persists even if I give the full permissions for NetworkService and IIS_IUSRS users to the "C:\inetpub\wwwroot". Solution supposed in the abovementioned post doesn't work.

How can it be solved?

I want to add some notes:

1. After installation of VS 2008 I had a problem installing SP1 because of "Windows Event Log" couldn't be started - "Error 5: Access is denied." Solved accordingly to http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=379459

2. Error installing "Web Providers" for MySQL Connector.NET 5.2.1 after installing SP1. "C:\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\installUtil.exe" used in installation script returns error. MainEngineThread is returning 1603. It MAY BE the same error with permissions.

3. And IIS: 80070005 (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED).

Seems suspicious...

Thanks in advance!
