I ran into an issue where my database was down at the point my Umbraco (v10) site was restarted, leading to a boot error. The database was brought back up but Umbraco still "remembered" the database was down and wouldn't boot until I went back in to reboot the app via IIS. Is there something that can be setup to force a recheck or is the only way out of the boot failure to restart the app?

This has always been the behavior as far back as I can remember. We have always made sure the application restarts after a boot failure, both on Azure and IIS. Here's hoping there's a setting to do this automatically...

Do you mean you would manually restart it after a boot failure or is there something you can set in IIS to catch this and auto-reboot?

No, I mean we made it routine to manually restart the application after any boot failure. (Most boot failures have been database failures though.) In Azure this is easier than in IIS. We've very rarely had boot failures outside of deployments. So I'm hoping there is a way to automatically do this. 🙂 (Every time I try to type "failure" it comes out as "failture" !"#¤%)
