Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You install Windows Server AppFabric on a server that is running Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.5.
-
You create a website. Then, you add multiple applications to the website.
-
You configure these applications to run under different application pools.
-
You enable the auto-start feature for different services in these applications.
-
You start the application pool that is used by the website.
In this scenario, all the services in these applications are preloaded unexpectedly. You expect only the services that the application runs in the same application pool of the website to be loaded.
For example, you create a website named MySite on a IIS 7.5 server. MySite includes two applications named App1 and App2. MySite and App1 run in an application pool named AppPool1. App2 runs in an application pool named AppPool2. In App1, you enable the auto-start feature for a service named service_App1. In App2, you enable the auto-start feature for a service named service_App2. When AppPool1 is started, service_App1 and service_App2 are loaded in the application pool AppPool1. However, only service_App1 should be loaded.
Cause
This issue occurs because of an error that occurs when IIS checks the applications that are part of the application pool where the website is runs. In the example that is described in the Symptoms section, when AppPool1 is started, IIS incorrectly assumes that both App1 and App2 are running in the same application pool. Therefore, both service_App1 and service_App2 are preloaded. However, App2 runs in another application pool and service_App2 should not be preloaded.
