Auto-Starting doesn't work!

Question

I have read the post: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/09/15/auto-start-asp-net-applications-vs-2010-and-net-4-0-series.aspx

And I am sure about the applicationHost.config and root web.config was well configured, both x86 and x64.

But when I start the application pool, the Preload function seems never be executed, I get the following error event:

WebHost failed to process a request.
 Sender Information: System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostingEnvironment+HostingManager/53517805
 Exception: System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException: The service '/OfficeReporting/ServiceManagement.svc' cannot be activated due to an exception during compilation.  The exception message is: A base address with the uri scheme 'net.pipe' needs to be specified if using service management endpoint 'ServiceManagementNetPipeEndpoint'. Verify a base address exists on the site and the protocol is enabled on the application.. ---> System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: A base address with the uri scheme 'net.pipe' needs to be specified if using service management endpoint 'ServiceManagementNetPipeEndpoint'.

Then I googled some articles and they said that the net.pipe should be enabled, but when I added it to protocols, the application generated other 2 error events:

Even I commented out all the codes in the Preload function, the above errors are still there.

Any idea?

BTW: How can I debug the Preload function? It couldn't be attached while the w3wp process wasn't launched, and I think that also couldn't be debugged in the Visual Studio ASP.NET Development Server, right?

 

Thanks!

Answer 1

I got the same error. E7000780 is the value of error.

I found this blog which can help about this issue: http://kuntalpatel.wordpress.com/the-worker-process-failed-to-initialize-the-httpsys-communication-or-the-w3svc-communication-layer-and-therefore-could-not-be-started-the-data-field-contains-the-error-number/

the error E7000780 translates to 

 

 

 

# as an HRESULT: Severity: FAILURE (1), Facility: 0x700, Code 0x780

# for hex 0x780 / decimal 1920 :

  SQL_1920_severity_10                                          sql_err

# Skipping rebuild of index ID %d, which is on a read-only

# filegroup.

  ERROR_CANT_ACCESS_FILE                                        winerror.h

# The file can not be accessed by the system.

# 2 matches found for "E7000780"

hope this can help, you should check that your worker process can access the folder.

I added access to hosting related folders to IIS_IUSRS and other required accounts and got it to work.
