Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 7

Our production website built on Umbraco v7.2.6 runs on a load balanced environment where the load is distributed into two IIS servers called "web01" and "web02". But once in a while the IIS app pool crashes bringing down the website with it. When I visit the log files just after a crash I can see errors related to scheduled publishing has been registered. I am not sure how to fix the issue. Is there an way to disable the scheduled publishing task?

Settings in Umbraco settings.config is below:

  <scheduledTasks baseUrl="web01.website.com/umbraco/">
  </scheduledTasks>
  <distributedCall enable="true">
    <user>0</user>
    <servers>
      <server>web01.website.com</server>
      <server>web02.website.com</server>
    </servers>
  </distributedCall>

The errors logs shows as below:

Any suggestions? What is ScheduledPublishController trying to do? What kind of permissions do I have to provide?

I'm coming across this issue as well in a very recent version of Umbraco 7 (7.15.5):

 2021-07-25 11:35:54,674 [P6104/D1085/T1] ERROR Umbraco.Core.UmbracoApplicationBase - An unhandled exception occurred
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the port is denied.

   at System.Threading.Semaphore..ctor(Int32 initialCount, Int32 maximumCount, String name)

   at Umbraco.Core.CoreBootManager.Initialize()
   at Umbraco.Web.WebBootManager.Initialize()
   at Umbraco.Core.UmbracoApplicationBase.StartApplication(Object sender, EventArgs e)

I suspect it happens just after the website gets taken offline momentarily for nightly backups, but it doesn't happen every night.

In my case, I am not on a load balanced environment, and it seems to happen on startup rather than via scheduled tasks.
