Cause
The IIS application pool (the one that hosts the Controller application server) has a problem, and needs recycling.
Resolving The Problem
Fix:
Restart the relevant IIS application pool.
Workarounds:
Method #1
Restart IIS entirely, by logging onto the Controller application server, then launching a command prompt and typing: IISRESET
Method #2
Reboot the Controller application server.
