The Windows Process Activation Service failed to generate an application pool config

[Muhammad UmarH]

Hi,

We have Plesk 11 installed on server 2008.
We are getting a strange error message in IIS 7 pointing to plesk attached to this thread.

Error Message:
" The Windows Process Activation Service failed to generate an application pool config file for application pool 'PleskControlPanel'. The error type is '7'. To resolve this issue, please ensure that the applicationhost.config file is correct and recommit the last configuration changes made. The data field contains the error number."

We have also installed Coldfusion 9 on our server and getting an error while trying to open CF administrator.
Error Message:
HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.
Detailed Error Information
Module StaticFileModule

Requested URL http://localhost:80/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\administrator\index.cfm

I assume these two error might be inter-related, Can someone help on this please.

Thanks!

As far as I see this issue has been resolved by Support Team in ticket #1490189:

I am glad to inform you, that the issue is fixed.
The root cause was in messed handler and insufficient permissions for application pool.

At first, I switched Default Web Site to "plesk(default)(2.0)(pool)". Then I created 2 handler mappings:

Request path: *.cfm
Executable: C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll

Request path: *
Executable: C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll

And then, I have enabled 32-bit Applications Mode for "plesk(default)(2.0)(pool)":

IIS > Application Pools > (right click on) plesk(default)(2.0)(pool) > Advanced Settings > Enable 32-Bit Applications > (set to) True

After that, I was able to successfully access http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

Please, check it from your side and inform us if issue still exists.
