For a project that involves MapXtreme functionality,+ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ADw-STRONG+AD4-the project name must be MapXtreme+ADw-/STRONG+AD4-.+ADw-/FONT+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4APA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT color+AD0AIw-000000 face+AD0AIgAiAD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADsAPA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4-The MapXtreme 2 Developers Guide for Windows NT, August 1988 says, on page 21, +ACY-quot+ADs-All of your HAHTsite projects for MapXtreme must be named MapXtreme.hpr in order to run correctly with the HAHTsite Application Server.+ACY-nbsp+ADsAPA-/FONT+AD4APA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADsAPA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4-Experimentally, this seems to be the case.+ACY-nbsp+ADs- If you use any other project name, like +ACY-quot+ADs-HelloWld+ACY-quot+ADs- for example, at runtime you get the error message:+ADw-/FONT+AD4APA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4-HAHTsite 3,.1 Single Server reports the following Error:+ADw-/FONT+AD4APA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4-the application page HS+AF8-... could not be run.+ACY-nbsp+ADs- The HAHTtalk (tm) application file is not valid.+ADw-/FONT+AD4APA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADsAPA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4-5. I conclude from this that you cannot easily host more than one distinct MapXtreme application on the same server at any time.+ACY-nbsp+ADs- For example if you try publishing all the sample projects provided with MapXtreme, namely Hello World, Demographics, Find Nearest and so on, each +ADw-STRONG+AD4-one will OVERWRITE the previous one +ADw-/STRONG+AD4-in the pair of site folders c:+AFw-inetpub+AFw-wwwroot+AFw-mapxtreme and c:+AFw-hahtsite+AFw-single+AFw-approot+AFw-mapxtreme.+ADw-/FONT+AD4APA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADsAPA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4-So what is the recommended approach for hosting both test and production versions of the same application on a single server?+ADw-/FONT+AD4APA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADsAPA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4-Or what about setting up lab exercises for use in a classroom environment?+ADw-/FONT+AD4APA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADsAPA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT color+AD0AIw-000000 face+AD0AIgAiAD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4-Am I missing something +ADw-STRONG+AD4-basic+ADw-/STRONG+AD4- here?+ADw-/FONT+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0-Arial+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4APA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT color+AD0AIw-000000 face+AD0-Courier+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADsAPA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4APA-FONT color+AD0AIw-000000 face+AD0AIgAiAD4APA-FONT face+AD0AIg-Courier New+ACIAPgA8-FONT size+AD0-2+AD4-David M Haycraft+ACY-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADs- Phone/Fax:+ACY-nbsp+ADs- 61 +- 2 +- 6231 8104+ADw-BR+AD4-Information Analysis Assocs+ACY-nbsp+ADs- P/L+ACY-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADs- Mobile:+ACY-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADs- 0412 001 134+ADw-BR+AD4-ACN 085 516 105+ACY-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADs- Email:+ACY-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADs- +ADw-A href+AD0AIg-mailto:d.haycraft+AEA-acslink.aone.net.au+ACIAPg-d.haycraft+AEA-acslink.aone.net.au+ADw-/A+AD4- +ADw-BR+AD4-1 Cumming Place, Wanniassa+ACY-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADs- Web:+ACY-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADs- +ADw-A href+AD0AIg-http://www.acslink.aone.net.au/actaa/iaa.htm+ACIAPg-www.acslink.aone.net.au/actaa/iaa.htm+ADw-/A+AD4APA-BR+AD4-A.C.T. 2903, Australia+ACY-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADsAJg-nbsp+ADs- A MapInfo Partner+ADw-/FONT+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4APA-FONT size+AD0-2+AD4APA-FONT face+AD0AIg-Courier New+ACIAPgA8-/FONT+AD4APA-/FONT+AD4APA-/DIV+AD4- +ADw-DIV+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADsAPA-/DIV+AD4APA-/BODY+AD4APA-/HTML+AD4-
