Periodically I get the following error in my event log. It appears to
be a problem creating or retrieving profiles from the SQL server. I
cannot reproduce it in my development environment but once it occurs,
every subsequent connection produces the same error message. ( i.e.
the commerce site is down )

My only solution is to iisreset on that machine. After an iisreset
everything runs fine - for a while - as much as a couple of days and
as little as a couple of minutes.

Please help if you have seen this.

I should add that I made the errors go away ( for now ) by touching my
web.config to make the application restart.

Well I seem to be the only one posting to this thread but I did figure
it out, or rather someone else did

profile-resource connection also.
