Server Application Unavailable

Server Application Unavailable Bookmark:Question: Windows Server 2003  Standard Edition Serice Pack 2

Unable to run .aspx files without receiving the following error.

Server Application Unavailable

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.

This is a stand-alone web server, not a domain controller.

I have .Net Framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed on this server

To solve the problem I restart the IIS using IISReset command.

This happens atleast twice a day

Looking for your help

Okay,
now you might b having projects based on both ASP.net 1.1 and 2.0 on the same machine. To resolve this problem , go to IIS and create new Application Pool lets say by name "App Pool .Net 2.0" and after creating that, go to the website properties and change the Use of Pool to the newly created app pool ONLY for those website who are using ASP.net 2.0 (Also check the ASP.net Tab to check framework for this website).

In short ASP .net 1.1 project and 2.0 projects should have different application pools and they cannot work in same application pools. This will solve the problems.

Thanks for the reply.
We have all our ASP .net 1.1 projects under default application pool and all the 2.0 projects are in other other application pool.

So you mean you already had this setting. Now just ensure that framework is set accordingly for those projects. And if you have set this application pools now, then just wait for couple of days to see the results. I had the same issue and i resolved it by doing this and i am running good.
I am having this issue for more than couple of months. It was happening 2 or 3 times a week but now it is happening twice a day.
So, this settings of different application pools was done already and still you are facing problems? If yes, than just confirm that you dont have both versions of framework used for single site.

And the last option is to go to all projects and change their app pools to new App Pool of 2.0 and change their ASP.net frame work to 2.0.5.... regardless of they are build in 1.1 or not. Try this as this also can resolve your problem.

And to just check that this error dont re-occur, try browsing both the projects (website) which were developed in 1.1 and 2.0...
We are using both version of the software for same site. But my site has many projects in it and we have put all the diffrent projects into the right App pools.
