Hi,
We use Octopus (version 3.11.16) to deploy several IIS applications and some of these share application pools to save resources but now we’ve noticed an issue.
We have a step to stop all pools for this tenant and then proceed to update applications finally start the pools in a last step.
Now when Octopus updates an IIS application, it starts the pool automatically. This causes a next application update to fail because the files are locked by the w3wp.exe process.
Is there a way to prevent Octopus from starting the pool automatically?
I know it’s also possible to add a pre-deploy script to stop the pools but this would cause intermittent stop/starts that might not be best either.
Looking forward to your feedback!
Kind regards,
Joren
