Sequence Of Events When Starting, Stopping, or Pausing a Web Site

I would like to know what specifically happens when a Web Site in IIS 6 is
started, paused, or stopped (at least at a "high level"... not necessarily
looking for minutae). The only documentation I have found so far only tells
me how to start, pause, or stop (but not what's going on behind the scenes).

Thanks!

Hi Frankie,

Pausing and stopping site means denying HTTP requests to be received
by this site. So any new arrived requests will not be processed. To
truly shutdown the worker process instance, we have to disable the
site's application pool

Thanks.

So, that's all there is to it? - basically - having the site ignore incoming
HTTP requests? I thought it might be that simple. So - what is the
difference between pausing and stopping a Web site in IIS 6?

Hi Frankie,

Sorry, I'd clarify this. Stopping sites will cause existing requests
processing be terminated but pausing site not. To prevent users get
unfriendly error message, we should use pause first before some
operations like restarting IIS service.

Thanks.
