Hopefully someone can help.
Our SharePoint farm worked fine for several months but last week when I tried to make a new web application and site collection it failed.
What's gone wrong and how do I fix it?
Checking the event logs shows the following errors:
The AppFabric Caching Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 4 time(s).
and
Application: DistributedCacheService.exe
