I am getting what is probably a very common 503 error. I installed IIS on 2008 R2 box, and simply wanted to test it by http://localhost and get the 503 error. OK so I try to troubleshoot using the guide provided on this web site regarding the application pool. Tried everything and no luck. The server already had several different versions of Microsoft.NET on it that are used by another app so it may have something to do with that. Anyway, the event viewer shows the following:
"The worker process failed to initialize correctly and therefore could not be started. The data is the error. " under application event log
Binary data:
In Words
0000: 80070005
In Bytes
0000: 05 00 07 80
So I go to IIS manager,
Under worker processes there is nothing listed.
default application pool set to use .NET ver 2. I can it successfully and change it so that it uses 4.0 (same results).. Both versions appear on the drop down. It starts just fine but eventually stops again.. I am not trying to run any apps yet, just load a simple web page from the default web server. When I try to enable FREB it does not even appear as an option in the IIS manager under the default web site. I can post some screen shots but do not have at the moment anywhere public to post the images.. Can I upload the images to thread directly? Don't know but that is it basically.. Any ideas?
