ColdFusion, IIS and Host Headers

[JungleJim]

Dear CF Guru: We are adding a few domain names to our single IP server. We
are accmplishing this via Host Headers. Example: If someone enters
[url]www.mysite.com[/url], which is running on a seperate instance of IIS (no Host
Headers) , the user lands on c:/webroot/ We're using Host Header to ensure
that if someone enters [url]www.MyNewSite.com[/url], which is running on a seperate
instance of IIS (using host headers) the user lands on c:/webroot/MyNewSite/.
Can someone tell me if I need multiple instances of CF installed so that CF
pages in each site will execute okay? Also, if I do need multiple instances,
how do I go about installing these on the Web server? Environment: CFMX, IIS
6.0, W2K Server

I don't think you need multiple instances for this. You can run the Web Server
Configuration Tool to configure all websites or a single website. I think what
you need to do is run the Web Server configuration Tool once for each website.
Do not use the global (All websites) option. (If you already ran it with the
All option, you should remove that configuration first.) HTH

Hi,

You must create 2 WebSites in IIS: [url]www.mysite.com[/url] (Home Directory
c:/webroot/) and [url]www.mynewsite.com[/url] (Home Dir c:/webroot/MyNewSite/)
Open the second WebSite properties page. On the tab WebSite set IP and click
Advansed button. At the top list select IP and click Edit.
Enter Host Header value and click Ok.
All done. :)
