Cannot Start Service W3svc On Computer
investigation the World Wide Web Publishing Service would not start due to a dependency failure on the Windows Process Activation Service. Looking at Event Log I could see WAS logging a 5005, 5036 and finally a 5172 Error. The 5172 Error text is as follows: [error]The Windows Process Activation Server encountered an error trying to read configuration data from file '\?\\C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config', line number '1'. The error message is: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc735278(v=ws.10).aspx 'Configuration file is not well-formed XML'. The data field contains the error number.[/error] A quick look in the file specified shows that it is completely empty, so that explains the 'not well formed' part but what should it be? Well historical copies are stored by default in C:\inetpub\history\CFGHISTORY_xxxxxxxxxx so find the newest folder and in there you will find a copy of the ApplicationHost.config file. Simply copy the file http://blog.msvconsultancy.co.uk/2013/09/fix-was-error-5172/ from this history folder to the location in the error message and start the Windows Process Activation Service.

The Event logs show the following errors: Source : WAS EventID: 5053 Message: The Windows Process Activation Service received a change notification, but was unable to process it correctly. Source : WAS EventID: 5172 Message: The Windows Process Activation Service encounter an error trying to read the configuration data from file \\?\UNC\domain\dfs\iis-config-folder\applicationHost.config Followed by errors Source : IIS-APPHOSTSVC EventID: 9012 (invalid applicationHost.config), 9006 (processing config errors), and often 9000 (SID mapping) Does the need for SID resolution trigger these events? The site is configured to use anonymous authentication only so I'm not sure why SID mapping would ever be needed. I have tried but cannot find good info on configuring WAS.
