1 server, 2 web sites 1 asp.net app each, build one, other -> Server App Unavailable

Has anyone heard of a problem with a rebuild of one application
causing a problem with another app on the same server?

I have two asp.net applications on the same Win2000 server, each with
it's own web site (i.e. IP, root folder, etc.). Each accesses it's
own SQL Server 2000 database. Let's call them App A and App B.

If I open a page in App A that starts a long-running process...so it's
sitting there in perpetual "loading page" state until the processing
is finished...it works fine. However, if I build a new copy of App B
while the page in App A is open -- boom. "Server Application
Unavailable".

Here's the kicker. App B is a copy of App A, created using the "Copy
Project..." wizard. I created the App B web site from scratch in IIS
Admin, opened App A using VS.Net, then used the wizard to copy the all
files to App B.

I thought it might be an duplicate assembly name or namespace issue,
but I've changed both on both apps to be unique to no avail. I've
also rebuild App A as a release build. App B is still a debug build.

So...anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Have you tried running both applications in "High" Isolation mode? If
they're both in the same application pool, there may be some resource
contention, depending on what it is that your app is actually doing.

Yep. First thing I tried. Didn't work.

Thanks,

Ok...problem solved.

The application had a registered copy of expired trial version of some
software. Since it wasn't used, I didn't think about it until I read the
best practices white paper at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...html/dbgrm.asp.
The fourth chapter discussed "debugging unexpected process termination" and
started talking about COM threading in ASP.NET. That made me wonder about
third party software...which lead me to the expired license...which lead me
to the solution. Remove the references and, voila, it works.

This was a hard nut to crack because while I could find a lot of references
to the "aspnet_wp.exe (PID: ???) stopped unexpectedly." error message, very
little was mentioned about the message event ID (1000) that didn't also
mention that subsequent event messages that would indicate the real issue.
I didn't get any other messages. I'm not sure whether the third-party
software was managed or unmanaged code...sorry.

Thanks to Greg for at least giving it a try.

Ok...I spoke to soon. Problem's still there.

The only things I know the two projects share are:
- references to two custom controls: (skmMenu and WebChart)
- reference to the Microsoft Data ApplicationBlock.

They have different project names, namespaces, access different databases,
work in high-isolation thread pools, etc.

One was created using the Copy Project and both projects reside on the web
servers.

I'm stumped.
