IIS Error

27 Jan 2016, 16:49

We have dual 2008 R2 WIndows server IIS 7.5 servers with Helicon Ape proxy added to a few sites. Been using it for years and back in September 2015 after applying some critical windows updates we started getting the error below and a couple of times it crashed the app pool and had to restart it. About the time we started researching it (within a couple of days) the problem resolved itself never to be seen again....well, that is until we installed another round of MS patches this past weekend. It didn't start getting the errors until this morning and so far nothing has crashed, but we are seeing the same error on the 2nd server as well and it started about the same time this morning. Any clues? (yes....I've rebooted).

Error in Windows Application Event Log:

IISMANAGER_ERROR_LOADING_PROVIDER_TYPE

IIS Manager could not load type 'Helicon.Ape.Editor.Snapin.SnapinProvider, Helicon.Ape.Editor, Version=3.0.0.77, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=95bfbfd1a38437eb' for module provider 'Helicon Ape Snapin' that is declared in %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config\administration.config. Verify that the type is correct, and that the assembly that contains the module provider is in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).

To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.

Hello.

This is the error of loading the IIS Manager Snap-in (the editor of .htaccess files). It will not affect proxy functions of the module itself. However, this error has been fixed few builds ago so you can try to upgrade your Ape installation to avoid this issue.
