Error: Web site worker process has been terminated by IIS

The debugger stopped execution of code on the Web site. This caused Internet Information Services (IIS) to assume that the worker process stopped responding. Therefore, IIS terminated the worker process.

To continue to debug, you must configure IIS to allow the worker process to continue.

To enable Terminal Services

  1. Open the Administrative Tools window.

  2. Click Start, and then choose Control Panel.

  3. In Control Panel, choose Switch to Classic View, if necessary, and then double-click Administrative Tools.

  4. In the Administrative Tools window, double-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

  5. In the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager window, expand the <computer name> node.

  6. Under the <computer name> node, right-click Application Pools.

  7. In the Application Pools list, right-click the name of the pool your application runs in, and then click Advanced Settings.

  8. In the Advanced Settings dialog box, locate the Process Model section and choose one of the following actions:

    1. Set Ping Enabled to False.

      -or-

    2. Set Ping Maximum Response Time to a value greater than 90 seconds.

    Setting Ping Enabled to False stops IIS from checking whether the worker process is still running and keeps the worker process alive until you stop your debugged process. Setting Ping Maximum Response Time to a large value allows IIS to continue monitoring the worker process.

  9. Click OK.

  10. Under Services and Applications, click Services.

    A list of services appears in the right-side pane.

  11. In the Services list, right-click Terminal Services, and then click Properties.

  12. In the Terminal Services Properties window, locate the General tab and set Startup type to Manual.

  13. Click OK to close the Advanced Settings dialog box.

  14. Close the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager window and the Administrative Tools window.

Steps 10-12 not necessary      Tom Bull ... pritishjacob   |   Edit   |   Show History

I don't think steps 10-12 are relevant or neccesary, in fact they don't even make sense and are not possible in the context. I think it's a copy and paste error...

--lb: i concur with Tom. And if they are relevant, there should be an explanation.

[edit by pritish] I'm glad that I'm not the only one who reads the bloody details. Agreed, steps 10-12 are illogical.

In the introduction on this page 'ISS terminated the worker process' should read 'IIS terminated the worker process'
Bad Editing      Scott Lock ... Thomas Lee   |   Edit   |   Show History
Not to mention the little sub title says "to enable Terminal Services". This is one that got away I think.
wrong information      iveys ... Thomas Lee   |   Edit   |   Show History
Steps 10 thru 12 don't belong here - have nothing to do with the topic.
