Re: code sharing in IIS
Hi Chad, Yes you can do this. We have multiple instances of our application running off a single code base across multiple virtual directories. Paul.

Re: code sharing in IIS
We do this all the time, and its also how we create multiple IIS sites bound to their own CF instances to create multiple instances of a website that we then load balance.

RE: code sharing in IIS
Thanks for everyone's feedback. I have a question now that I am experimenting with it. I have two web sites that have these files in them: C:\wwwroot\site1\Application.cfc C:\wwwroot\site1\foo\index.cfm C:\wwwroot\site2\Application.cfc C:\wwwroot\site2\foo --(virtual directory to C:\wwwroot\site1\foo) When I load http://site2/foo/index.cfm The application.cfc fromSite1 is being used, not the application.cfc from site2... Any way to get the site2 application.cfc to be used instead of site1?

RE: code sharing in IIS
Yep remove the virtual directory, when you do it this way the virtual directory will be using the application.cfc up from where it is first located. And that is defined by your virtual directory.

Re: code sharing in IIS
I have not experimented yet, but can you use a virtual directory in IIS to share code to other website on the server? Like I have a folder of code for user login on one website. Rather than copying the code and maintaining two sets of code can I just make a IIS virtual directory on the second website? Yes. You will have to create the virtual directory individually for each site in which you want to use this code.
