W3SVC Restarting ?

Hi. In researching a "HTTP: 500" error, I've noticed in the IIS/W3SVC logs
that the IIS Header banner repeats in various areas throughout the log file.
Does this banner information indicate that the W3SVC has restarted ? If this
is true that may be my http 500 problem since the error messages when they do
occur are following soon after the banner is posted again. My logging is
setup for a daily file to be created.

Hi,

Yes, the banner means the worker process is restarting. For performance
purposes the worker process shuts down or restarts after a period of idle
time, or heavy usage. It prevents IIS from using excess RAM, etc.
