Stop and restart the application pool
Application pools occasionally need to be restarted in order to return to normal operation. Because application pools depend on the Windows Process Activation Service (WAS), you may have to restart WAS. If you restart WAS, you may also have to restart the World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC), which depends on WAS.
To perform these procedures, you must have membership in Administrators , or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

3.In the Connections pane, expand the server node and select Application Pools .
4. In Features View , select the application pool you want to start or stop.
5.In the Actions pane, do one of the following:
6.Click Stop to stop the application pool.
7.Click Start to start the application pool.
Stop or restart WAS
To stop or restart WAS:
1.Click Start , right-click Computer , and then select Manage .
2.In Server Manager , expand Configuration .
3.Click Services and locate Windows Process Activation Service in the list of services.
4.To stop WAS, right-click Windows Process Activation Service and select Stop .
5.To start WAS, right-click Windows Process Activation Service and select Start .
Start the W3SVC
To start the W3SVC:
1.Open an elevated Command Prompt window. Click Start , point to All Programs , click Accessories , right-click Command Prompt , and then click Run as administrator .

Verify :
You can use an Internet browser to verify that a protocol adapter is functional by following these steps:
1.Select a Web site or application that is configured to respond to the protocol you want to verify.
2.In the address bar of your browser, type a protocol-specific request to the Web site or applications that you chose in step 1.
3.If the protocol adapter is working, your browser client should display the expected output page.
Note : If the protocol adapter is from a third party, refer to the documentation for the adapter. The documentation may have specific steps that explain how to verify the state of the service or process that hosts the protocol adapter.
