EventID: 1011

do you have any other error messages logged?

Hi,

Try this page:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=885654

Although the application name is different the problem may well be the same cause.

would this be related to the error I posted in the initial question?  I only ask, because that error is causing IIS to crash, and thus 30-40 sites are losing service....

Your original error is a different matter. Have you tried the steps detailed here: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=885654 ?

If you have 30 - 40 sites - have you set them all up on different application pools? This should help keep the other sites running when the culprit site has caused it's pool to crash.

(Ignore my link - I didn't spot it was the same as the others!)

honestly.  I'm not in charge of the servers, my boss is and he is not very quick when it comes to stuff like this.

I will mention to him about the different application pools.  I know right now, there are not seperate.

Once they're seperate - then only the site(s) causing the problem will crash. That's step one on your way to solving the problem!

I agree.  I passed on the information, I should here from boss man in a couple hours about this.  (he's on West Coast US, I'm on East Coast)  :)

ok.  He has come back with a worry about the amount of RAM this would take up with the sheer number of sites on each server.

Is there a way to throttle the memory?  I see that the CPU load can be throttled....?

thatnks folks
