I've recently ported to a different hosting company (VDS), and on the new server, installed IIS 7.5 Express, latest versions of PHP and MySQL.
I then copied the files from the old server to new server (NOTHING beyond the content of the folders of my websites, so no config files or anything except the web.configs in the sites themselves), set-up websites. I've tried to visit a website, and I got a 503 Service Unavailable message, tried both remotely and locally at the server, no change.
Tried on every site, even on Default Web Site, and no change: still 503.
I've checked the permissions to the folders of the websites (and all the children), and both my account, Network Service, Administrators have effectively full control of all the contents.
All the apps run in DefaultAppPool, which runs under ApplicationPoolIdentity. Tried creating a new app pool, moving sites there, no luck, tried setting "Load User Profile" to False in pool settings (read it here HTTP Error 503 on IIS 7.5 after SP Install), no change.
The event viewer in an extremely detailed way says:
"A process serving application pool 'DefaultAppPool' terminated unexpectedly. The process id was '2356'. The process exit code was '0xfffffffe'."
and nothing else. Five times of this error, and the pool is shut down due to rapid protection. I restart the pool, try again, nothing changes. No matter I'm trying to get an .aspx, .php, or static content. Here is the most weird part: when I set the app pool to run under LocalSystem, it works. No problem. But everything else fails.
I've checked the website folders about ten times, changed, erased, re-added rights etc tried everything but no change. It's as if there is another file that I'm forgetting to check that the pool's user is unable to access. But the event viewer does not help me. This started with the new server and I tried after installing everything, so I can't tell after what this started happening. I obviously won't be running under LocalSystem. Even my own user, Administrator, doesn't work.
The only identity that works is LocalSystem. My user, LocalService, NetworkService, ApplicationPoolIdentity all fail the same way. I'm going crazy, I'm 99% sure this is a user-rights issue. But all the website files are accessible, and I haven't changed anything in the system32 inetconfig or anywhere.
Ok, found my own answer again.
The process w3wp.exe runs under the DefaultAppPool user, not NETWORK SERVICE. I don't know why it doesn't run under NETWORK SERVICE, but after some research it turned out that the process needed access to C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\schema and giving NETWORK SERVICE access didn't change anything. I've by coincidence found somewhere about the DefaultAppPool user, gave read permissions, and by starting the pool, all my websites started working perfectly. Quite weird, I always thought that the IIS processes ran under NETWORK SERVICE by default, and I'm sure that I haven't changed any setting.
Try running below commands with some changes
appcmd set apppool /apppool.name: <YourAppPoolHavingIssuesHere> /managedRuntieVersion:v<.net Framework version here>

I am having an issue with IIS resulting in the app pool stopping, so I am getting a 503 error
Event Viewer reports
Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded. Check that you are connected to the network, and that your network is functioning correctly.
DETAIL - Access is denied.
Windows has backed up this user profile. Windows will automatically try to use the backup profile the next time this user logs on.
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.
I believe this may be because I followed instructions I found on google to clear down files from AppData amongst other place, last week when C: became full (bad move ). Sadly, there is no backup to reinstate the lost files. I expect I have removed an account or permissions somehow.
I have tried setting Load User Profile to False and also setting Identity to LocalSystem but not allowed these settings in the app pool
I was hoping to reinstall IIS but cannot find a solution for that. Does anyone please have advice?
I have a brand new laptop with Windows 10 Professional. I have installed VS2019. I have also installed IIS. I have the default IIS setup, so just Default Web Site which when browsed goes to the default IIS page. I enable 32-bit mode on my DefaultAppPool. I then try to browse to the website again and I get a 503 error. The app pool has stopped.
I have seen numerous posts on the internet about attaching debuggers, writing log files, looking at the event viewer logs as well - but none of them are helping me. I have noticed that I can enable 32-bit and not assign any web application to it... then the app pool stays running. The second I assign a web application to the app pool it crashes (I set the Start Mode in the app pool advanced settings to Always Running in this instance)
I have created a new App Pool and tried the config again. If I look at event viewer logs, I get this:
I have also tried uninstalling IIS, deleting the inetsrv folder in system32, deleting inetpub and then reinstalling IIS.
I have also tried looking at the applicationHost.config file to try to pick up anything weird in there and everything looks good.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Is this anything to go on? If so what can I do to fix these errors? I don't know what file it's trying to access or which directory is corrupt. I have given Everyone and App Pool users access to inetpub to test it out but it doesn't work.
I have a Node project running on a Windows server using IISNode on a Windows virtual machine.
Everything worked fine up until a few days ago when the VM underwent a Windows update, and now the site isn't serving any files.
When I start the server, there is no indication of anything being wrong, but when I go to the URL, I get the message:
www.mydomain.com didn't send any data
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
Initially, when I was checking all the settings, I noticed that when I clicked 'Test Settings' under basic settings, that there was an authorization failure saying it cannot verify access to the source code directory.
But when I changed it to connect as specific user instead of application user, the error went away but the above issue was unchanged.
This makes me think it could be a permissions issue, but I've granted permission to the App Pool, IIS_IUSRS and IUSR, so I could be wrong.
I've tried multiple solutions on StackOverflow, including this highly rated one with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Annoyingly, I found the answer a few hours after placing the bounty.
The problem was that it didn't have a static IP address, so when the VM was updated it was on DHCP and so was allocated a new IP, hence the website stopped working.
Note: I've found several questions similar on here, but the one's that were resolved did not work for me. So I thought I'd open a new question.
I rebooted our server 2012 box, which hosts our new .net applications. After doing so, I started receiving a 503 error. Upon investigation, it seemed like an identity problem.
Before going much further, I should state that this account has worked for several months now. I've rebooted before, and everything started fine.
So I'm getting the (quite common) 5059, 5057, and 5021 errors in the log. They boil down to this:
The identity of application pool SVFileUpload is invalid. The user name or password that is specified for the identity may be incorrect, or the user may not have batch logon rights. If the identity is not corrected, the application pool will be disabled when the application pool receives its first request. If batch logon rights are causing the problem, the identity in the IIS configuration store must be changed after rights have been granted before Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) can retry the logon. If the identity remains invalid after the first request for the application pool is processed, the application pool will be disabled. The data field contains the error number.
I thought I would just ensure the password and account were correct, so I go to the application pool, select identity-> custom and ensure it's set up right. I get an error:
There was an error while performing this operation. Details: Keyset does not exist (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090016)
This was strange to me, so I tried setting the app pool to a built in account, and it worked fine. I get this error anytime I try to set to a custom account. Also, no app pools that are using custom accounts will run.
I googled a bit, unsure which error was the one I needed to track. I have tried:
registering the account on the command line via the aspnet_ tool
Making sure the user was in the IIS_IUSRS group
changing the permissions on C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys file(s)
adding a completely new user and trying to set an app pool to that users account
There was a couple other random things I tried from googling but I don't remember.
This error doesn't make sense to me, and it seems random. I need help figuring out 1) why I can't set an app pool to a custom account and 2) why the identity isn't working for my applications anymore
-Edit
I recently removed and re-added the user account I've been working with. I think that solves that problem. The problem remaining is I can't update the application pool because of the "keyset does not exist" error.
I found a couple of links that led me to a solution.
In c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config I removed all the configProtectedData entries.
Then I removed everything in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
I ran iissetup.exe /install SharedLibraries from the inetsrv directory, which resulted in a "Failed = 0x80070005"
I then was able to set up my application pools as if nothing happened.

I ran the iisreset command and my problem was sovled
I had the same error-message because my user was not member of the "Local Administrators" group.
I was able to connect to the server because I was member of the "Remote Desktop Users" group.
I was able to open IIS Management and to change settings, but when I clicked on the "OK" or "Save" button - I got the "Keyset does not exist" - error message.
So my advice - check if you are an administrator.
I tried to change the Identity of Application Pool on a remote server and it failed with the above error.
I RDP into the remote machine and then tried to update the Identity using local IIS Manager and it worked.
For anyone on Windows server 2008 stumbling into this error:
this may occur when you are managing the IIS instance from another server using the remote management feature ('connect to another computer').
I resolved by managing the IIS instance from the server itself.

Since I am working on a fresh server I was able to uninstall the IIS Windows Feature and then re-add it.
I was able to change the App Pool Identity after that with no issues.

MAKE A BACKUP JUST TO BE SURE WORKED FOR ME
I was running my application with no errors locally, but when added Windows Azure project, set up the database config, generated the packages and ran in stage mode, I just can get 500 internal errors.
My app has some redirections for logged and non logged users.
I tried to follow some answers about the problem with no results. When I run the application locally with the emulator everything runs ok.
I didn't set any permission or user anywhere in my SQL or Windows Azure panel. As I don't have any experience with Windows Azure, please explain steps on how to do things =)
Now, after reading almost 20 articles, I realized that I was using the old Membership and Session Providers, and that the old aspnet_regsql doesn't fit Windows Azure.
So, the first action of my application was watch if the user was logged in. Because of that, the 500 Internal errors.
