Server Application Unavailable

[PaulTurk]

Hey Folks,

I have a problem when loading any of my local sites on the pc. Html and asp pages work fine but when i try to run a .aspx page i get this pain of an error:

Server Application Unavailable

I then went into the event viewer and found these 2 errors that always happen when running my .aspx apps.

aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the username and/or password supplied in the processModel section of the config file are invalid.

aspnet_wp.exe could not be started. The error code for the failure is 80004005. 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.

The most annoying thing is that i have not changed one setting and this has just seemed to happen overnight.

I would really appreciate any help on this one folks as its doing my head in :s

Has the ASPNET account got access to the .NET Framework folder? You could also try running "aspnet_regiis -i" from the relevant framework folder.

Thanks for your reply. I have 2 versions on my machine 1.1 and 2.0 do i need to grant access to both these folders??

cheers

i have granted aspnet read & execute, list and read priveledges to these folders and i have still had no luck. I have also run the aspnet_regiis -i and restarted iis and still coming up the same error. I'm baffled

 

[ca8msm]

Have you cascaded the permissions down to the child folders as well?

Hi Ca8msm,

Yeah all the folders within have inhertied permissions from the parent. I have been searching online for few things and there seems to be a mention of changing something in the machine.config file. Is this recommended??

Cheers

 

[ca8msm]

Well, the error does say that it could be because:

the username and/or password supplied in the processModel section of the config file are invalid

so it's a possibility that they have been set in there. I'd just take a backup of the file just in case.

thank goodness have now fixed the problem. Instead of machine i changed to system in the machine.config processmodel event and it's now working. I know this aint the most secure but it works
