Hello!
Though my last post was ignored, I will try new one.
This is an instruction how to get multiple OpenBD web sites under IIS
and Jetty, at least it works on Railo, I guess openBD is the same.
I suppose you are using Jetty installation.
1. Copy contexts/openbd.xml file. You will eed to create as many
copies of this file in contexts folder as web sites you are going to
have.
2. Comment out <Set name="war"> line fom it.
3. Add the following line after commented line (warning: mailer may
split it into lines)
<Set name="resourceBase">c:\path\to\my\website\goes\here\</Set>
4. In the <Set name="virtualHosts"> section add virtual hosts for this
web site.
5. Create appropriate web site in IIS 7 (with this virtual host).
6. Start Jetty, for example using command: java -jar lib\start.jar
jetty.port=8081
7. Use ARR to proxy all requests from this web site to http://localhost:8081
As for static files, it will be hard to configure with ARR. I am still
suggesting you to wait a week or so until we finish our solution with
Helicon Zoo, it will address all issues you have mention.
