[AccessD] OT - IIS problem

use cmd, to open a Command Prompt window.  Then use the iisreset command.
The window closes when it is done doing it's thing, but if you did it from a
command prompt window, you'll see everything it did.  There are a few
options with iisreset, you may be able to get them with a /?

Anyhow, iisreset is supposed to be a last resort process.  I just recently
ran across it.  The REALLY useful capability of iisreset, is that it WILL
stop and restart the IIS server if you have code caught in a loop!  (I've
done that several times, and previously, my only option was to reboot the
server, because starting and stopping the service didn't work.  This command
will restart it, usually in about 20 or 30 seconds!)

Drew,

I ran "iisreset' a couple of times and each time got the message
"attempting stop..." for about 20 seconds and then the command window
closed.  When I look in the task manager I don't see IIS as a running
process.

Previously when I tried to get to iis through the management console by
opening iis.msc the management console would hang.  I don't know what is
going on.  Maybe I need to uninstall IIS and do a reinstall.

Try going Start --> Run then type in 'iisreset' without the quotes, and
click Okay.

All,

Sorry for the OT, but I know that some of you do web development and may
have experience with the problem I seem to be having.  I have IIS6 set
up on my computer to test web applications before putting on our host's
server.  Today for some reason I installed two Microsoft patches; the
cumulative patch for IE Q822925, and the Unchecked Buffer Patch in
DirectX Q819696.  After the install I went back to working on a site and
found I couldn't open any pages on my local machine.  Went to see if IIS
had shut down and found it wasn't active so tried to start it back up.
No luck; the management counsel hangs when I try to start IIS.  I can't
find anything on the knowledge base on this or in Google.  

Has anyone had this experience or heard of a problem like this?

Thanks for your patience.

Doug
