Having spent 5 hours trying to figure out a problem I was having with my IIS5 Windows 2000 Server.
Problem : IIS kept failing, CPU running at 100%. Reboot the server and it would stay steady for a time (from seconds to minutes) then back up to 100% where it would stay forever. I stopped the web service and started a single site on the box. What I didn't realise was when I was starting this single site it was actually starting ALL sites (I eventually clicked refresh on the window view and noticed this.....this seems like a BUG to me, never had that happen before). Anyway, eventually, I managed to stop all other sites by starting them all and then PAUSING the sites I didn't want to run. I managed to get it stable with just a few sites running, I started another site and the CPU went to 100%. Restarted IIS and tried browsing to the site manually, only partly came up and 100% showing on server. Thought I'd have a look in the log file to see what was going on and noticed the file was 0 bytes, so I deleted the file and restarted IIS. Since then everything has been working perfectly. So, next time you have 100% cpu usage you can't work out, check for blank/corrupt logfiles!
