IIS - IIS8 application pool stops failure in series of processes serving applicationpool

Asked By Pranay on 25-Jan-13 11:46 AM

Windows Server 2012 IIS 8, my applicationpool stops automatically. In events log i see the error: applicationpool disabled due to failure in series of processes serving applicationpool. Any suggestions, please. Not much info is available about IIS 8.Thanks

Typically, this is a result of a high volume of untrapped errors in your .NET code. Are you using COM at all in your ASP.NET application? Perhaps to interact with Excel or Word?

Robbe, I don't think this error is application specific, for two reasons; firstly, I tried another application on my server and I got the same error. Secondly, my application has been working fine for couple of years and few days back, I installed Windows Server 2012. I moved my application to this server. Still lost though. I'm guessing either it has to do with some user-right permissions or some system process which causing my pool to stop. I'm very lost though. :(
Thanks for your help.

Are 32 bit apps enabled for the IIS app pool? If not, enable it.
