SharePoint - Unable to create New WebApplication

Problem

I recently faced a problem with SharePoint, that I created new Web Application and it was showing a popup of "It shouldn't take long", then after some time it showed a Connection failure page. I browsed to the virtual directory folder for the new web application and found that the folder was totally empty.

Solution
Then what I did to solve this problem:


1. Open IIS
2. Go to Applicatin Pools
 3. Select Central Admin application pool and right click and select "Advance Settings".
4. There was a property named "Shutdown Time Limit", it was set to "90" by default.
    I changed it to 400 and clicked OK.
 
It restarted the applicaition pool automatically. Then again I created new web application from central admin and it worked for me.
