ASP.Net application recycling problem

[Andriy Gnennyy]

Hello everyone,

We have large and complex ASP.Net web application.
Eventually IIS recycles our application due to deadlock condition. The error
message in the event log looks like this:

---------------------------------------------
Event Type: Error
Event Source: ASP.NET 1.0.3705.288
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1003
Description:
aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 2356) was recycled because it was suspected to be in a
deadlocked state. It did not send any responses for pending requests in the
last 180 seconds.
---------------------------------------------

After that, typically, the application starts without any problems by first
incoming page request. But, sometimes the application doesn't restart
correctly after recycling. Each request produces the following error:

---------------------------------------------
Application crashed.
Reason :
System.Exceptio n: System.Configur ation.Configura tionException: It is an
error to use a section registered as allowDefinition ='MachineToAppl ication'
beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory
not being configured as an application in IIS.
(D:\InetPub\www root\web.config line 25)
at System.Web.Conf iguration.HttpC onfigurationSys tem.CacheLookup (String
vpath)
---------------------------------------------

The web.config file line 25 is: <authenticati on mode="Windows" />
Currently we don't have any idea about the reason of such behavior. Could
anybody help with this?

Our environment:
Win 2000,
IIS 5.0,
.Net Framework 1.0,
the application resides in wwwroot,
process isolation level - Medium(pooled)

Did you look for some code that could lock the app?
A never ending loop maybe?
