ASP .NET 2.0 Application Pools Crashing after 1 or 2 pageloads

I have bee working with a site using Dotnetnuke for a couple weeks.

For no apparent reason, the Application Pool containing this site (ASP .NET 2.0) just stops running after one or two pageloads.

I tried turning off the default 'stop the application pool after 5 errors' in IIS, yet the error still occurs.

Can this be something Plesk related? I am desperate, already lost 2 days of work because of this.
 
I had the same problem and had to manually move the websites to a different pool in IIS. Then enable the option in Plesk to create a new pool for each website. It will allow you to track errors more efficiently.
 
Thanks for that. The 2 DNN 4.3.4 sites I had we're each in their own pool.

Anyhow, I gave up after losing 2 days of work trying to solve this and just went to an earlier DB backup, and this solved it.

I suspect the guilty party was a DNN site keep-alive module I bought.. seemed like a pretty hacky method to improve performance. Somehow I believe it screwed things up royally.
