The service did not response to the start or control request in a timely fashion

[kneidels]

Hey folks

on XPP here.

I have always had IIs started by default, but suddenly now i see my default (and only) website is off. i get this message when trying to start it -

"The service did not response to the start or control request in a timely fashion"

running iisreset via Run > CMD gives me the following:

Attempting stop...
Internet services successfully stopped
Attempting start...
Restart attempt failed.
IIS Admin Service is disabled

So i went to Services, and IIS Admin Service is started. i restarted - and still the same notice.

not sure if related, but World Wide Web Publishing seems to be stopped, trying to restart it give the following error -

could not start remote installation service on local computer, error 127: the specified procedure could not be found

Trying to uninstall/re-install FTP via Add/Remove Windows Components does not change anything.



Any ideas what this can be?



Many thanks!

What version of IIS? Did you try re-installing IIS?

I'm using WinXP with sp3 installed and meet the same issue.
MSDN said its occurs when no Network Interface Card (NIC) is installed, in fact, the Event Log service stopped will cause the same issue, just start the service to resolve this problem.
If NIC not installed, please follow this on MSDN:
