IIS Stopped Responding

[gopher]

Would it be worth backing everything up and removing IIS from windows configuration and then re-adding it? bit of pain, and in-elegant, but may do the job.

Just a thought.

The only relavent one was

"Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for a transaction response from the W3SVC service"

The metabase has now been restored from a backup so that's in a better state. Anything that I try to do to interrogate the files under http://localhost seems to hang.

Very likely to be related to the three power cuts I've had today.

Good idea. Better leave that one until tomorrow me thinks...

I have some UPS's lying around that just new new batteries if you want one?

Thanks Patrick. Already got an order in!

[PetrolTed]

Thanks for your suggestions. I've nearly sorted it.

- Uninstalled IIS and reinstalled it as suggested
- Restored Metabase from backup

I can now operate the local sites via IE but Visual Studio is generating the following error:

NTLM authentication failed (code -2146893045).(Error code = 80004005)



Obviously it's something to do with authentication but I can't put my finger on it. Google Groups has drawn a blank on this one. Anyone got any bright ideas?

[PetrolTed]

Fixed it



Never realised how much damage a power outage could do to Windows.

Time to look at learning Nix

UPs's are great...
