Hi,
I'd be happy to help you out with your question. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
From the error messages you have provided, I believe that there is an issue with the Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) which is required for the World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC) to function properly.
To resolve this issue, please try the following steps:
- Stop the World Wide Web Publishing Service and Windows Process Activation Service.
- Delete the following folder: %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config
- Copy the backup folder located at %windir%\System32\inetsrv\backup\ to %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config
- Start the Windows Process Activation Service and then the World Wide Web Publishing Service.
- Check the event viewer to ensure that both services have started without any errors.
If the above steps do not work, you can also try the following:
- Uninstall the Windows Process Activation Service feature from the server.
- Reboot the server.
- Reinstall the Windows Process Activation Service feature.
- Reboot the server.
- Check the event viewer to ensure that the Windows Process Activation Service has started without any errors.
- Start the World Wide Web Publishing Service.
If the issue still persists, it may be necessary to troubleshoot further by checking other system components and configuration files.
