RE: Multiserver instances and web server configuration
The easy way Use the WSCONFIG tool once to create a new connector for your new instance for any old site in IIS. Now edit the properties of that site and look at the wildcard ISAPI filter, you will note it is different from the one on the default site. The default one will be C:\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll The new one will be C::\JRun4\lib\wsconfig\2\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll Every time you use the wsconfig, it creates a new connector, which can get confusing as you don't need a new one each time, you only need one for each instance otherwise you will forget which connector is for which instance, so I just use the wsconfig once for each instance to create the required connector, and then assign it to sites by hand. Now for any site or folder, just the wildcard mapping to use that connector.

RE: Multiserver instances and web server configuration
That is not true. All you have to do is select any folder in IIS, edit its properties and change the ISAPI wildcard filter to use the connector for the instance you want.

Well there's definately no way to do it in the web site configuration tool.. so it must be a manual think ,which I'll have to look into further.

Dave - Do I understand correctly, then, that ColdFusion will allow you to tie multiple CF Servers to a single virtual host using the wsconfig utility?

RE: Multiserver instances and web server configuration
Dave and Rick, If you guys can figure out how to do this I'd love to know - it would make a nice blog entry :) I did not know this was possible in IIS - I always used different site roots instead (www1, www2 ...

No. ColdFusion instances are tied to the web server and, as a result, to the site itself. I don't know any any way to take this to a more granular level.

Multiserver instances and web server configuration
Can I configure IIS and coldfusion (in multiserver mode) such that a specific *PART* (read: directory) within a single web site uses a DIFFERENT instance of Coldfusion than the rest of the web site? thanks. rick ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:252221 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
