Forms authentication failed for the request. Event Log Error

[MrPink1138]

I have a database driven web app written with ASP.NET 2.0 and using SQL Server 2000 for the database. It's using the user/roles/membership functionality in 2.0 and has been running fine until this morning when it began to freeze up. The only thing I can find in the event logs is the following:


Event code: 4005
Event message: Forms authentication failed for the request. Reason: The ticket supplied has expired.
Event time: 1/11/2007 7:11:59 AM
Event time (UTC): 1/11/2007 3:11:59 PM
Event ID: 287d6461b3d44aa8a8186e3d860836e0
Event sequence: 1191
Event occurrence: 20
Event detail code: 50202


Every thing I can find online about this error message is related to machinekey conflicts in a server farm environment. My app is running on a single Windows 2000 server. Has anyone had a similar issue and/or know how to fix it? I can't find any information related to this problem in a single-server environment so I'm not entirely sure what caused it.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Those events should be Information Type right? not errors.

are there alot of those at the same time?
those usually log when the timeout has been reached as it states, and should have the path to the aspx in that message as well.

try an iisreset?

IISReset solved the problem but I'm more interested in making sure it doesn't happen again. Thanks
