When Encountering An Access Violation - W3wp.exe Crashes And Restarts Repeatedly Until The Application Pool Is Stopped
Feb 8, 2011
I have a CLR 4 WCF service hosted in IIS 7.5 (Windows Server 2008 R2), using the WebHttp binding (with [WebGet]). The service calls into an unmanaged component implemented in C++ (Visual Studio 2010). I deliberately added an access violation inside the unmanaged component (by calling delete on a pointer repeatedly, calling methods through a deleted pointer, etc.) to test dump file generation settings. The access violation crashes the w3wp.exe process, which is not surprising considering "Corrupted State Exceptions" in CLR 4. However, when the process restarts (due to warmup and always-on settings in IIS), the same request seems to be replayed to the service so that it crashes the w3wp.exe process again. After a few times (governed by the "max failures" application pool setting) the application pool is stopped.
I'm using the browser as the test client, and while the restart sequence is underway the request is still in flight. When the application pool is stopped, the request returns with 503 Service Unavailable. I can work around the problem by placing try...catch block around the code and using the [HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptions] attribute. When I do that, the w3wp.exe process does not crash. However, this is not the desired behavior -- I want the process to crash (an access violation or a memory corruption is bad enough) but I want it to restart into a clean state and not have the request replayed. I was not able to reproduce the problem using the BasicHttp binding.

I have static content like html,css javascript stored in DB. when a user requests for these i create a temp file in virtual directory and return the url. My web app is hosted on a IIS server. On some systems on creation of a file my IIS Application pool crashes and restarts. If i disable file-monitoring though the problem is resolved, but i dont have this luxury when i am deplying at the client end. Is there any way by which i can avoid app pool crash during file creation? If not is there any way by which i can serve static content like html, css, images, xml and js without creating temp files. I would need a generalized way of handling all these data types.

I have some code in my logout routine that deletes some temporary session files when the user logs out or when the session expires. Deleting these folders causes my web app to restart. It does not error out or throws an exception it just restarts!

I have an app configured to use anonymous authentication, the application pool is set to network service. When I run filemonitor I can see that thw w3wp.exe is picking out the webpages and stuff from my hard drive and returning images etc. However one of the pages saves a file to a folder using c# save() method. Instead of the w3wp.exe actually writing the file to disk explorer.exe seems to be accessing the folder. What the hell is going on? I though the w3wp.exe did everything asp.net related why on earth is explorer.exe being introduced into the fold here?

Oracle has simple, useful and free tools for attaching to a process and monitoring its SQL statements but I can't anything similar for SQL Server. This is incredibly useful across a number of scenarios, particularly when dealing with third-party assemblies (1). ANTS 6 seems to support something like this (2), though it doesn't allow you to view the stack-trace that lead to the query as dynaTrace does. I don't think dotTrace tracks parameter values, either.
Surely there's a widely available option for profiling SQL application-side?

Currently, on our production IIS web farm, we host about 15 applications in a single App Pool (Default App Pool). There are two websites and about 13 virtual directories.A colleague has recommended that we change our IIS configuration so each application is a separate App Pool (with identical settings).
Is there any drawback or potential issues to doing this?Is it possible that ASP.NET applications could have been built with the requirements that they are all within the same App Pool?

I'm trying to deploy an ASP.NET application using InnoSetup. I need to perform the following tasks:
Create an IIS application.
Create a new IIS application pool and set it's .NET version to 4.
Set the application pool of the new application to the new application pool.
I have found a script to create a virtual directory, but I need an application and application pool:
procedure CreateIISVirtualDir();
var
IIS, WebSite, WebServer, WebRoot, VDir: Variant;
ErrorCode: Integer;

I have a web form with a whole bunch of drop down lists (mainly) that works perfectly well and has been for some time. However, we've found a scenario that seems to corrupt the viewstate of this form in someway, or cause it to lose it's viewstate. The problem occurs when the user has this form displayed, then clicks on a link that opens up another window. A few more steps to open up a second and third window, followed by a write to the database. Then the user closes these windows down, leaving this original window open. At this point, the user selects something from one of the dropdowns. And the app crashes because the dropdowns have lost all of their values (and so a bit of code that is trying to work with one of the ddl's selectedvalues fails).
When the user selects this dropdown, the page_init event fires, followed by the page_load with postback = true. The dropdowns themselves are defined in the aspx page markup, but the values of them are generated and added in page_load (where postback = false). I've relocated the code to populate these controls to the page_init code and now the app doesn't fall over, because the values are re-populated. However, all of the selectedindexes are being reset, so the original values are lost and the screen redraws after this postback with all of the dropdowns reset.

We recently migrated our ASP.NET 2.0 application to ASP.NET 4.0. It is running on Windows 2003 with IIS 6.0. After migrating, we have found that the ASP.NET 4.0 worker process w3wp.exe crashes intermittently with an 'Access Denied' exception. The stack trace of the exception does not point to any code written in our application. We are clueless as to what could be causing this. The worker process crashes when it makes a remoting call over http.

I'm having issues with an ASP.net site (framework 3.5, IIS6 ) having very slow 'first hit' response times. I'm guessing that the issue is to do with the app pool recycling and having to warm up.
I got to thinking. As part of the site I have a HTTP module that spins up a 'never ending loop' on a separate thread which periodically (every 5 seconds) calls an sproc on SQL to make sure the database is still there. I'm wondering if a similar approach might work to get the site to make an HTTP request to "itself" as a keep alive.
My question is, before I go and do this, can anyone think of any reason why it won't work? For example, something like "oh no... ASP.Net will figure out that you're playing with yourself and not go through the whole page lifecycle... etc etc".

I don't know if this is the right place to post, anyway:Once in a while the application pool of my website has stopped. After taking a look into the Windows logs, In can see in the System log the following: first I see 5 warnings, and then an error. The warning is:"A process serving application pool 'domain.com' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '1568'. The data field contains the error number."The process id is different for all 5 warnings. Then the error message is:Application pool 'domain.com' is being automatically disabled due to a series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool.The warning:

I have noticed how editing the web.config file in an application folder causes that application pool to recycle and pick up the changes.
How does IIS achieve this and is it possible to extend this functionality for another config file? Or is this dependency hard-coded somewhere? This is related to the possiblity of deploying configuration changes to a web server without having to edit the web.config, which is usually maintained by a different team.
Note that I don't want to manually invoke this recycle event, but have it work in the same way as with web.config. I'm aware that I could simply add these settings to web.config, but that's not what I've been asked to do.

My application is running in a shared hosting environment. I do have a dedicated App Pool for my app. I've been doing some testing with 1st visits and precompile performance and have been tracking when my application starts up and shuts down.
In my Global.asax I have some logging code in Application_Start and Application_End. I can see from my logs generally when the application is idle and shuts down, then someone visits and it starts back up.
But, I also see cases where a shutdown is logged and then followed by another shutdown about 13 minutes later; without a startup in the middle.
I also see instances where there are two Startups in a row. I'm guessing these might be a recycle, but why wouldn't there be a shutdown log entry?
What I'd really like to know if there is a better way to track when my application starts, when it shuts down and if it is shutdown due to an idle pool, or from a recycle. I don't have access to the Windows Event Log so I need to do this from my app if possible.

We have 64-bit Windows server and we need to explicitly enable the 32-bit mode in the Application Pool used by our web site, because the MS Jet Engine Data Provider used to import data from Excel does not run.
I am not sure, if we enable the 32-bit mode will we still get the advantage of 64-bit Server?

I am working on Windows 2008 Server (64-bit). I want to execute my web service as a pure (native) 64 bit service. All the assemblies referred by the web service are currently built as 'AnyCPU'.
When I publish the web service to IIS, and configure it to run under a 64-bit application pool (by setting 'Enable 32-Bit applications' = false), attempt to access the web service gives the error 'Application is not a valid Win32 application' because of a BadImageFormatException. This appears to indicate that somewhere an attempt is being made to load a 32 bit assembly. But the error does not provide any information about which assembly was found with an incorrect format. I have checked all the assemblies in the bin folder using corflags and they are bit agnostic.
I tried using the fusion log and identified a bind failure with VJSharpCodeProvider (though my service is coded only in C#). The runtime is not able to find the VJSharpCodeProvider because it is present in the GAC as an x86 assembly.
Is VJSharpCodeProvider the cause of the problem? I guess this is not the case because of the type of exception (BadImageFormatException). If I am correct, then how do I identify the assembly that is causing this exception?
If I change the property 'Enable 32-Bit applications' to true for the application pool, the service works fine, but I need native 64-bit execution.

I have a number of ASP.NET (4.0) web applications that appear to leak (a small amount) of memory during each request. It is such a small amount, that for most use-cases, it will not grow to become a problem for weeks or even months at a time. I generally try to be good with closing any connections managed by the application, avoiding state-variables (or instance variables for my singleton), etc. My question is this - is this normal behavior for ASP.NET applications? I had turned off the default (IIS 7) behavior of recycling the app pool after 20 minutes of being idle. I do this since the application takes a few minutes to build its internal cache, and I want to avoid negatively impacting the user experience (and having them wait for the application to start when they issue the request).

I'd like to describe strange issue I've noticed while analyzing my asp.net application in production and ask for some advice or opinion on the following matter.Application usually runs with some 80-90 MB of memory footprint. This seems stable since no memory leaks have been detected so far - no slight increase in memory usage over time. Yet, problem occurs when application pool recycles (I'm using shared hosting and judging by logs it occurs either when app is idle for 20 mins or every ~30 hours - something like that). The issue is that used memory almost doubles for some period on recycle - it goes to some 160-170 MBs without any explanation. This is confusing, since it is common claim that recycling should purge the memory and all other resources - at least I get it that way. System holds this amount of memory for some 7-8 hours and then memory usage drops to it's usual level of 90-100 MB, again, with no apparent reason (at least not know to me).

Does the same connection string used on two different physical servers hosting different web applications that talk to the same database draw connections from the same connection pool? Or are pooled connections confined to at the application level?
I ask because I inherited a 7 year old .NET 1.1 web application which is riddled with in-line SQL, unclosed and undisposed sql connection and datareader objects. Recently, I was tasked to write a small web app that is hosted on another server and talks to the same database and therefore used the same database connection string. I created a LINQ object to read and write the one table required by the app. Now the original .NET 1.1 app is throwing exceptions like
"Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached."
Maybe these are unreleated, but wanted to get your opinions to make sure I cover all my bases.
