When I change the ASP.Net version of a web application in IIS 6 from ASP.Net 1.1 to 2.0. ALL sites in IIS are becoming ‘unavailable’ (Service Unavailable) for a brief moment (the time it takes to apply the changes in the IIS dialog).
I checked with Application Pools, but the sites are all in different application pools…
How can this be?
When I change the ASP.Net version of one application, this should not affect other applications does it?
Thanks in advance,
Remco
The .Net tab in the IIS Manager is actually pretty dangerous – it will throw an IISReset at any change, and also sometimes just for spite 🙂
Scott Forsyth has a blog article titled ASP.NET tab in IIS, more dangerous than it first appears! that goes over the details.
