Could not load all ISAPI filters for Sharepoint. Therefore startup aborted.
Posted in Sharepoint by Matthew Clements on 09 Nov, 2009
I came across a Windows 2008 Server installation where the Central Admin gave a 500 error and there was very little in the event log apart from :
Could not load all ISAPI filters for 'sitename'. Therefore startup aborted.
The installation had worked previously, but after the application of W2K8 SP2 the admin stopped working (whether this was the cause or a coincidence hasnt been established)
Anyway, thanks to some pointers in Nishant Rana's similar post I disabled 32 bit .Net support using:
cscript C:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbsSET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 0
and reregistered ASP.NET 2.0 as the default using:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727>
aspnet_regiis.exe -i
Worked a treat!
