| Description | The worker process failed to initialize the http.sys communication or the w3svc communication layer and therefore could not be started. The data field contains the error number. Data: 0000: 05 00 07 80 |
| Event Information | This information from newsgroups may help: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ this started showing up after the power cable was accidentaly pulled out. When we restarted the server, this event was recorded. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This error has been recreated by doing the following: 1. I created a web ("asptest")and used the defaultAppPool 2. In DNS I created a host record that pointed to the host header name of my new site (asptest.domain.com) 3. Created a simple default page (default.htm) 4. I generated the same errors as reported until removing the host file from DNS. This presumably would be from the miss-configuartion of DNS. The W2K3 server I used for testing was added to a 2000 cluster domain. This may be resolved by configuring DNS on the 2003 server or creating a new pool and using configurable identities as a workaround. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CAUSE: This issue can occur if the following conditions are true: • The worker process is configured to use an identity that is different from Local System. • The Everyone group and the User group do not have the Bypass Traverse Checking user right. By default, the Everyone group and the User group have this user right. RESOLUTION: To resolve this issue, restore the Bypass Traverse Checking user right for the Everyone group and the User group. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type gpedit.msc, and then click OK. 2. Expand Computer Configuration, expand Windows Settings, expand Security Settings, expand Local Policies, and then expand User Rights Assignment. 3. Right-click Bypass traverse checking, and then click Properties. 4. Click Add User or Group. 5. Type Users;Everyone, and then click OK. Note If you receive a message that an object named "Users" cannot be found, click Object Types, click to select the Groups check box, and then click OK two times. 6. Start the worker process in IIS. |
