Server Application Error

[Ron Lounsbury]

It looks like we finally found the problem. It appears that the problem was
that I had somehow been put in an AD Policy that didn't allow my IWAM and
IUSR accounts to "Run as Batch Jobs" on my machine. At least moving me out
of that policy has lasted through an overnight.

[Andreas Muschkat]

I have a big problem. I have to manage a windows server with 20
domains. Some have .asp-pages, some not. I dont have programmed this
pages. The server was new installed (on puretec), the scripts and some
other stuff to.
Now, the server is running, but sometimes on all asp-pages there
become an error:

Server Application Error
The server has reached the maximum recovery limit for the application
during the processing of your request. Please contact the server
administrator for assistance.

What does it mean? What can I do to find the error? I have search on
some newsgroups und have found out, that one asp-Skript take to many
ressources and "shoot out" the service. But I don't know what script
in which domain? Can somebody help me?

The server has Win 2000 SP3, IIS 5.0

Best regards,
Andreas

[Richard Marr]

Andreas,

Good to here its working.
PS I was confused by the use of domains when referring to the
applications, which is why I repeated the isolation steps.

Hello all

I just reinstalled my Windows XP Professional and I can't
seem to make IIS work on my local ASP application. I have
setup many times IIS and configured it to work properly,
but now after the new WinXP setup I receive the message:

"Server Application Error
The server has encountered an error while loading an
application during the processing of your request. Please
refer to the event log for more detail information.
Please contact the server administrator for assistance."

Any advice on the possible source of the problem?

Thanks

Nick
