Event Information According to Microsoft :

Cause :

This event is logged when Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) did not send a request to protocol to remove configuration for application in virtual site.

Resolution :

Stop and restart a virtual site

On startup, WAS reads information from the ApplicationHost.config file. Part of the information that WAS reads is application configuration, such as enabled protocols and the application pools for the application. For applications to be configured correctly, there must be clear communication between WAS and the protocol for the application. Stopping and starting a site can reestablish this communication.

To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Administrators , or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To stop and restart the virtual site:
  1. Click Start , click Control Panel , and then click Administrative Tools .
  2. Right-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and select Run as administrator .
  3. In the IIS Manager Connections Pane , expand the computer name.
  4. Expand Sites .
  5. Select the Web site that has to be restarted.
  6. In the Actions pane, click Stop to stop the site.
  7. In the Actions pane, click Start to start the site.
