Board index » Windows Vista » IIS7: IIS Worker Process stopped working and was closed

Windows Vista29
Hi,



After I started using IIS7 on Vista (Home Premium), i get this message

very regularly:

IIS Worker Process stopped working and was closed.



I can only click 'OK'.



Whatever IIS7 is having problems with doesn't seem to affect it.

All my apps seem to work.



The websites I am currently working on run PHP5.2 with ISAPI

(php5isapi.dll).



Did anybody experience this behaviour too?

Suggestions?



Thanks in advance!



Regards,

Erwin Moller

It can certainly happen that your application can take IIS down if something

is happening within the application that is catastrophic to IIS.



Have you checked that possibility?



I have been doing Web development work using Vista Ultimate and IIS7, and I

have had no such issues.

Hi,



Nothing catastrophic is happening, unless something is happening inside

the PHP ISAPI.

It even happens when I do NOT call a phpscript.

I cannot find anything usefull in the eventlog either, only that an

error occured. :-/

Hello!



I recently installed IIS to begin some PHP development and get exactly the

same behaviour as is described by Erwin below (Vista Ultimate again).



I've installed PHP as a "Handler" under IIS management console and installed

PHP using the Windows installer and selected the "ISAPI" install option (same

files as Erwin as well).



Every now and then I get a message saying an IIS worker process has failed-

even if I'm not running or doing anything with PHP. Again, as for Erwin I get

no problems running PHP code....



As Erwin said



Any thoughts?





Andy.

The links are talking about the worker process in IIS6 and gives detailed

information about the worker process. You should be able to do the same for

more information on IIS7. Is it related to Vista? I don't know. My best

guess is something is happening with an application that the worker process

is or has serviced. I think you should understand what is the worker process

in IIS and how is it being used to service an application, before you can

start to trouble shoot or debug.

I've found the message in the system-eventlog



Level: information

source: WAS

Description: The Process with ID=4868 for ApplicationPool PHP5 was

inactive for 20 minutes and is shut down.



I'll test with a new idleTimeout (1740) of this ApplicationPooland no

messages appear
