ok I feel like a goof ball. It seems CF service is stopping itself for some reason so it has nothing to do with IIS. If anyone know why CF and SQL would stop by themselves?

Hi I used the method below to run multiple sites in IIS on XP Pro. It has always worked fine until today. Now the extra site I have always been able to use is not working. The default site still works fine. All other I get the generic "Cannot find server" error. If anyone know why this might be happening or a remedy for it, I would greatly appreciate it. I already tried deleting the second site and recreating it but same thing happens. The only other thing I know to do is maybe uninstall IIS completely and reinstall it and try again. ---------------------------------------- In the server versions of Windows, you can have multiple versions of web sites installed into IIS and running simultaneously. You can install and run more than one web site within IIS in the professional version of Windows XP or Windows 2000. You just have to pull a trick to modify the IIS metabase to that it is aware of the additional sites. The user interface does not support creating more than one web site. Also, you still will not be able to have more than one site running at the same time. To create the second web site: * Create a command prompt window. * Type "cd \Inetpub\Adminscripts" and press enter. * Find out what the highest numbered site you currently have is. You can do that by typing adsutil.vbs ENUM /P W3SVC If you have never done this process before, the highest numbered site should be 1. * Add one to the highest numbered site. Then run this command: adsutil.vbs COPY W3SVC/1 W3SVC/x Where x is replaced by the new numbered site. For example if you run the enum command and the highest numbered site is 4, then type this: adsutil.vbs COPY W3SVC/1 W3SVC/5 * Run the IIS Manager. You should find a new site has been created. It will be an exact copy of site #1, so you will need to change a few things. Go into the properties for the web site. Change the site name, and the virtual directory for the root of the web site to point to another location on the hard disk. Usually, you will create a new subdirectory under Inetpub and point the virtual directory at that. * To use the site, you must first stop the currently running site, then start the new site. To delete a site, first stop it if it is running (bad things happen if you don't!). Then type: adsutil.vbs DELETE W3SVC/x Where x is the number of the site you want to delete. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Dusty ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink <http://www.fusionlink.com> ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
