Using the W3WP Utility
Normally, you won??™t worry about launching a worker process at all??”you??™ll let IIS do it. However,
the World Wide Web Worker Process (W3WP) utility can help you launch a worker process manually.
The only times you??™d need this utility are to determine why a worker process isn??™t working
properly or to perform a remote execution from the command line (rare). This utility uses the
following syntax:
W3WP ??“debug [-s
]
W3WP -h [Application Host File] [-w ]
[-in ]
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
-debug Use this argument to launch a worker process using the default application host configuration
file. The default settings use the default Web site (site ID 1). You can modify this
behavior using the ??“s argument.
-s SiteID Defines the site identifier to use for launching the worker process. Getting the right
site identifier is important. The easiest way to find this number is to choose the Web site in the
Connections pane of the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. Click Advanced Settings
in the Actions pane and you??™ll see the Advanced Settings dialog box.
