aspnet_wp.exe stopped unexpectedly and Server Application Unavailable

Configuration:
Windows 2000 Server SP4
..Net Framework 1.1 SP1
Microsoft Site Server 3.0

Problem:
the following error messages start showing up in the EVENT LOG on the
server every once in a while until server becomes un-usable and has to
be rebooted; users see in the browser Server Application Unavailable
message; this seems to happen more less every two weeks

error 1
aspnet_wp.exe could not be started. The error code for the failure is
800705AA. This error can be caused when the worker process account has
insufficient rights to read the .NET Framework files. Please ensure
that the .NET Framework is correctly installed and that the ACLs on the
installation directory allow access to the configured account.

error 2
aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 4856) stopped unexpectedly.

We have tried a bunch of things: re-install .Net Framework, run
aspnet_regiis.e xe, created a new user and configured it to be the
worker process user in machine.config (granting that user all
necessarry permissions per MSFT KB article)

We have not tried elevating the permission in machine.config to SYSTEM
in the processModel section (will that even help? I know this is a
security risk). We did not try re-installing IIS.

We are also trying the IIS Diagnostics Toolkit to grab the dump when
IIS crashes. We have not been able to get any data yet.

Does anyone have any clues? Our current BAND-AID fix is to reboot the
servers weekly.

Thanks,
Paul.

You can use DebugDiag and set a kernel32!ExitPr ocess breakpoint or you
can use adplus and get a crash dump. Stopped Unexpectedly is a crash
unless it's caused by someone explicitly killing the process.

Of course, getting a dump is just the first step. You then need
someone to look at it for you. I'd recommend that you open a case with
Microsoft.

Hi all. I'm having a nasty problem. A client's website was originally written with classic ASP. They requested a new portion of the site that was deemed a perfect candidate for ASP.NET. So, .NET was installed on their web server and one of the subdirectories in the web site was converted to a virtual application to support the new pages that would be added. The rest of the site was left untouched. New aspx files were added to this...

I can suddenly no longer browse any of my ASP.net web services. The browser returns: Server Application Unavailable and tells me to look at the Application Event Log for more details. I have searched around the net and newsgroups and found several references to this problem. However, none have any conclusive fixes. I don't have any infinite loops going on, so I'm a little baffled. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks. ...

On a few occasions, IIS has thrown up a pop-up error message box stating that aspnet_wp generated an error. The browser interface comes back with a web page that indicates Server Application Unavailable and tells me to look at the Event Viewer to get details on the error. All Event Viewer shows is that the aspnet_wp stopped unexpectedly. See below: aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 2060) stopped unexpectedly. Most of the time the ASP.NET web page...

We are not sure exactly what is causing it and any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. The largest reports we are trying to pull up have about 100,000 rows with about 10 columns (mostly int, some varchar 100). Only 4 testers are using the system. The database resides on a different server (same hardware and OS, SQL 2K SP3a) and it runs just fine. ReportingServicesService.exe is set to restart after 1 minute so it comes up and restarts...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
