I'm getting the following error in the Event Viewer when trying to profile an ASP.NET application on Windows 2003 / IIS 6.0:

Unable to start profiler - exception details System.Exception: Error stopping IISAdmin ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

    Hello,

    My first impression is that there is a rights problem. Can you stop and start the IISAdmin service from the Services control panel?

    Hi Brian,

    Yes, I can start/stop the IIS Admin Service from the Services control panel. I can also stop/start IIS from the IIS Manager.

    Thanks

    Hi Brian,

    I rebooted the machine and now it works. If it's a requirement to restart Windows after installing ANTS in order to profile ASP.NET applications, the installer should say something about this.

    Thanks,

    Vince

    Hi Vince,

    Thanks for getting back to us. There is no requirement for a reboot that I know of; it must have cleared up the problem for some other reason. I've done a bit of testing in this area and didn't need to reboot the machine after a fresh profiler installation.

    OK. At least if anyone else reports the same problem you can suggest that they try a reboot. I normally would done that myself in this case, but I couldn't reboot this particular machine just anytime I wanted to.

    By the way, I'm *extremely* happy with ANTS 2.0. It's become an invaluable tool.
