I am trying to start a Website in IIS, but it doesn't start and gives me following error:
The World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC) is stopped. Websites cannot be started unless the World Wide Web Publishing Service is running.
How can I resolve? I don't even know how to start W3SVC. Need help
Using a command line Open an elevated command-line window. At the command prompt, type net stop WAS and press ENTER; type Y and then press ENTER to stop W3SVC as well. To start the web server, type net start W3SVC and press ENTER to start both WAS and W3SVC.
The W3SVC service is a Windows service that is responsible for making IIS (Internet Information Services) work. The W3SVC service also manages the HTTP protocol and HTTP performance for IIS which needs to be running to allow Sisense (and other sites) to work.
