On one of my IIS5 servers running Win2k I have a problem where all sites have (stopped) next to them at system startup, even though they were started before the reboot. IIS service starts ok, and there are no Event Log messages. Sites start ok manually

Any ideas where I can look next?

Site doesnt start though IIS does by Invotion

Is the www service started as well? Make sure that this
is set to start automatically when the system starts up.

Hi Rob,

Please check:

1) If World Wide Web Publishing Service also starts automatically.

2) Create a FTP site and see if it can properly start after rebooting
machine. If it's also stopped, probably you open IIS mmc too early
that the corresponding services haven't been started.

3) Virefiy if there is any anti-virus or firewall softwares on the
server.

4) When the 'sites stopped by default' behavior occurs again, close
mmc and try to use iisreset command to restart whole IIS. See if this
can make sites started without problem.

5) Create a FTP site and see if it can properly start after rebooting
machine. If it's also stopped, probably you open IIS mmc too early
that the corresponding services haven't been started.

6) Check if there is a special ISAPI filter in IIS master setting
fails to be loaded: In IIS mmc, open the server(computer icon)'s
properties dialog->WWW Service->ISAPI Filters.

7) Enable process logging, which will log site started and stopped
events in IIS log files(\WINNT\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC[x])

I'm looking forward to your findings.

Thanks for the answers. I have to admit the www service was set to manual when I checked it. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Stuff about process logging was useful for another problem though

Thank

Rob
