Two Worker Process running at once

[Adam]

I have been having a problem where two aspnet_wp are starting when I
view a web page I made. This has just started happening. If anyone
has had a problem like this I would like to know why this might be
happening.

Do you have a dual processor machine?
If so, one apsnet_wp process is started per processor.

I know it is unlikely, but i just wanted to let you know, because i
was searching for the same info not long ago.

I don't have a dual processor system and I don't have web garden
enabled. Thanks for the suggestions but there is still something else
going on.

Hi Meadam,

In that case, what is happening is that something is happening in the
original worker process that prevents it from recycling when you make a
change. Therefore, the original worker process remains running and a new
worker process is launched to host the new app domain.

If you want to know what the original worker process is doing, you will
need to get a dump of it (a hang dump via process ID) and analyze that in a
debugger such as WinDbg to see what it's doing.

Thank you and you were right. It turned out that my app got stuck in
a endless loop at times and the process was not able to be recycled.

Thanks again

No problem. Thanks for the update.
