Event ID 1130 — IIS Web Site Availability

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Internet Information Services (IIS) Web sites that use HTTP rely on several important IIS components for their availability. The Windows Process Activation Service (WAS), the World Wide Publishing Service (W3SVC), the HTTP service, all must be running correctly. In addition, a properly running application pool must be available for the Web site’s applications. If any of these components is not functioning, the Web site will not be available.

Event Details

Product: Internet Information Services
ID: 1130
Source: Microsoft-Windows-IIS-W3SVC
Version: 7.0
Symbolic Name: W3SVC_EVENT_BINDING_FAILURE_UNREACHABLE

Resolve

Clear the IP listen list

By default, the IP listen list is empty. This configuration works well for most Web sites, and unnecessary entries in the list may interfere with Web site availability. To clear all entries from the IP listen list, follow these steps:

  • Display and note the IP addresses in the IP listen list.
  • Delete the addresses from the list.
  • Display the IP listen list again to verify that it is empty.
  • Start the Web site.

To perform these procedures, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

Display and remove the IP addresses in the IP listen list

To display and remove the IP addresses in the IP listen list:

  1. Open an elevated Command Prompt window. Click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
  2. Type netsh http show iplisten and press ENTER.
  3. Note the IP addresses that appear.
  4. Type netsh http delete iplisten x.x.x.x, where x.x.x.x represents the IP address you want to remove.
  5. Repeat the command in step 4 for every address that you noted in step 3.
  6. Type netsh http show iplisten again and press ENTER to confirm that the list is empty.

Start the Web site

To start the Web site:

  1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Administrative Tools.
  2. Right-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and select Run as administrator.
  3. In the Connections pane, select the Web site that you have to start.
  4. In the Actions pane, click Start to start the site.

Verify

To verify that a Web site is started, you can use either IIS Manager or the appcmd command line utility.

To perform these procedures, you must have membership in Administrators, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

To verify that the Web site is started by using the appcmd command line utility:

  1. Open an elevated Command Prompt window. Click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
  2. Change the directory to %SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\inetsrv.
  3. Run the following command: appcmd.exe list site -site.name:"Site Name". If the Web site is started, the output will resemble the following:

        SITE "Default Web Site" (id:1,bindings:http/*:80:,state:Started)

To verify that the Web site is started by using IIS Manager:

  1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Administrative Tools.
  2. Right-click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and select Run as administrator.
  3. In the Connections pane, expand the computer name.
  4. In the Connections pane, click the Sites node.
  5. In Features View, look for the Web site name. The Web site status will be indicated under the Status column. If the Web site is started and is using the HTTP protocol, Started(http) will appear.
