Jeff,

thanks a lot for posting this! I would have never guessed that the app pool crashes were happening because we had recently changed the setting from "use all WFE for crawling" to a dedicated server.

Quick note: your Workaround #1 does not work, as the central admin web app is unavailable as well. For Workaround #2: even though we had IP6 active, the hosts file entry we had was IP4...

192.168.1.3 sp # Added by Office SharePoint Server Search (5/11/2009 5:14 PM).

Deleting that line, then disabling IP6 (just to be safe), and then restarting the "Stopped" app pools was all that was neccessary to get everything working again.

What I found odd btw is that also our non-SharePoint app pools had crashed because of that hosts file entry.

Thanks again for your helpful info!

Jennifer

Thanks a lot Jeff.

For me the scenario was same: MOSS 2007 x64 with SP2 in a Windows server 2008 x64 with IIS7. Central Admin was working fine but SSP admin site/new webApp created was throwing error '503 Service Unavailable'. I found that the WebApp for SSP for stopped. Even when i tried to start it from IIS manually it failed.

I tried the first workaround:

"Use all web front end for crawling" and recycled the App pool in IIS which solved the issue.

Can someone please post exact STSADM command to change crawl service to use WFE(web front end) servers from dedicated server option. I am having same issue and Central admin is not working. Thanks
