Well, just to be clear, when you say you have 42 sites running under the root, you still have only 1 web site in IIS, right? And your need was to create a new web site with its own docroot other than the one that all the others are under, right?
That's specifically what this IISAdmin tool does (not to be confused with the IIS admin tool within Control Panel's Administrative Tools). IISAdmin is a 3rd party (free) tool that lets you create multiple IIS web sites (beyond the one "default web site"). I'm sorry, Mike, if I'm the one being thick but I just can't tell if you got that this is what I'm referring to. If it wasn't clear from my first note, perhaps now a review of it will make more sense. :-) /charlie -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Kear Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 7:39 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: OT: apache error - why not several hosts? Quite so, Charlie. In fact I've been running with IIS quite happily for years now, in the current IIIS5.1 on WInXPPro and its predecessors. I currently have 42 sites on my dev machine at various states of development. What's prompted this change is the increasing tendency of things like frameworks to require placement at the root of the site. Specifically, the marvellous Reactor, (which dynamcally builds all the queries, DAO CFCs etc without requiring me to write any SQL at all!!) has to be placed at the root of the site, and if you have mappings pointing to the root you get all kinds of problems making it work. In short, I needed all my sites to each have their own site root rather than being one level below the root with a mapping to enable includes etc. As you say Charlie, there are more ways than one to achieve this and I have no issue with IIS - it drives all of my production sites.
