several websites running on 2 different servers with win server 2012 r2 and iis8 keep starting by themselves after being stopped by me from IIS manager.
They keep starting after about 20 minutes from being stopped. even if I stop their applicatioin pools they keep on starting but not preloaded because I can see in the browser it takes longer for them to reply the first time I enter. what I've checked:
- Preload enabled = false
- StartMode = ondemand for the AppPool
- autoStart in configuration editor = false
- browsing to the website when it's stopped does not start it, it is something else, more likely time based.
- nothing in the Event Viewer, I can see that after 20 minutes of idle time, the app pool is stopped as it is supposed to do, but nothing related to it's start.
on another server, also 2012 r2 with IIS8, I have some web sites that stopped just fine. and the odd thing is they are set to StartMode = alwaysrunning, autoStart=True, preload=false.
I'm open to suggestions, what else to check? what did I miss?
