Could not initialize the logging module for web site

Microsoft.Windows.InternetInformationServices.2008.WebSite.Failed.To.Initialize.Logging.For.WebSite.Monitor (UnitMonitor)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

Internet Information Services (IIS) Web sites that use HTTP rely on several important IIS components for their availability. The Windows Process Activation Service (WAS), the World Wide Publishing Service (W3SVC), the HTTP service, all must be running correctly. In addition, a properly running application pool must be available for the Web site’s applications. If any of these components is not functioning, the Web site will not be available.

Resolutions

Stop and restart W3SVC

Stopping the W3SVC service will also stop any other services that depend on it. Thus, you may also have to start these other services.

To stop and restart W3SVC:
