Answer 1

some time This type of error occurs when you have app_offline.html file in your directory.When ASP.Net found a file names app_offline.htm in the root of a web application directory, it shut-down the application, unload the application domain from the server, and stop processing any new incoming requests for that application. ASP.NET also then respond to all requests for dynamic pages in the application by sending back the content of the app_offline.htm file. The default content is an error message.
