Could not start Memory Profiler on other Port

jaap.q42

I couldn't start the memory profiler on unused port, i've used other ports, opened them in my firewall etc.

Can someone please explain why this is happening?

I'm using 5.2.0.44 build sent to me by stephen.

There's a chance that it could simply be profiler overhead causing a timeout but this is unlikely. Usualy it means w3wp.exe has crashed. Do you get errors in the windows application event log?

Are you saying that the normal IIS port is working fine?

Yes, it works using the "restarts IIS" option. I'm currently occupied with other stuff, I'll come back with logs/Event logs.

Thx!
