Hello. Is it possible to create multiple instances under the same domain? For
example, I would like to have everything under inetpub/wwwroot/mysite to run
when I go to www.mysite.com/. But I'd like everything under
inetpub/wwwroot/mysite/admin to run as a separate instance (admin) at
www.mysite.com/admin.

The problem is, I can't seem to connect the extra instance to the same IIS web
site using wsconfig. I was under the impression that I could use the
application.xml/context-root setting of the admin instance to cause JRun to use
that instance. Am I mistaken?

I can easily create an additional IIS web site under the domain
admin.mysite.com and connect the admin instance to that, but the boss wants to
use a single domain. Any clues?

Thanks a bunch for any help you can give me.

Bud

IIS is going to pipe everything under a given virtual site to the configured
connector.

You could create a new virtual site for /admin and let said site manage /admin
and only /admin. That way you could build a second connector just for the
dedicated instance.

You could also whip up some rules for something like ISAPI_ReWrite that would
pull this off.

I *believe* (and I could be wrong on this) that the context root is only
usefull if you're using the built-in web server.

Thanks ke4pym. I understand about the 2nd virtual site in IIS. My main problem
there is, I don't think there is a way to create 2 virtual sites using a single
subdomain (www.mydomain.com). It's a simple process using unique subdomains for
each site/instance, but the boss wanted to avoid that.

Thanks again.
