Mulltiple web site on same server
Posted: 14 Nov 08 3:04 PM

I have upgraded to 7.5 SLX Web Client.
Question I have is with 5.2 I was able to setup multiple web sites by setting up different web componet folders all on the same server.
Can the same thing be done with 7.5 with the VFS folder. |

| Yes certainly, and a lot easier than legacy. Just add a new deployment for each website you have/require, in the Deployment area of your database (in App Architect). |

That it?s When I create a new site and Alias sign in to the APP Architeect it has a default Deployement from my last site is it better to remove that deployment and create new and point to the proper application site and port or the change the existing?
So the VFS on root does not have to have seperate directories. What about custom changes for each database and web site is the database it self and the deployment control that? |

Change the existing deployment with a new port, deploy out this can be your dev web site for example. It is only when you deploy to Live that you are making the changes live. If you want to make changes to data etc in your dev website then it will only be possible by having a sepearet Dev/Live etc. database.
If you want to use Source Control then create a local copy of the VFS (right click options in the Project Explorer) - in a folder of your choice.
It is best to have a separate database for each of your websites - otherwise you may well have a different code base for each but you will be looking at the same live data (and perhaps corrupting the live database) if for example you add a group it doesnt like (yes groups can actually do that 7.2 onwards  ) |

| I have mulitible licences and databases we have 3 different companies on 3 different licences but want to run all three on same server because of server costs. so it is not a developement situation but three actual databases and sites. |

| Oh I see, in that case its fine then. Just make sure on the deployment tab of each database they are pointing there own area of inetpub, and their own website/port. No issues.. |

so within the Interpub folder I would have folders: site1, site2, site 3 each would have the webites virtual directories. Correct?
sounds like this will be fine, the server I have is huge and plenty of bandwith I may compress if needed. |

| Yes that correct - on their own website would be preferable, just make sure they all have their own application pools so they are redundant. |

| Well thats what Im going to do. I set it up this afternoon and fire it up I will reply to you how it went. I like the new Saleslogix we have been living on 5.2 with a lot of success and customizing so it been a nice oppurtunity to set up the new database and applying all our customization to 7.5 it has been very smooth and a nice learning curve. I been at for three weeks now and have everyone up and running and our inyregraton with Navision through Scibe is getting well off the ground. These Websites are the last for me to tackle. |

Nick,
It took all of ten minutes to do. I set up indiviual folder in my rootcopied all directories to them. Went back to IIS and made sure each directory pointed the the correct folder. Checked application pools then went into App Architect opened my deployment and edited paths ran the command.
Explorer points to each different web site. Very smooth. Now if I don't have to create other VFS to add my customizations I showed be fine. I'm going to try to explorer more about the "VFS".
Thanks very munch for your help and patients people like you make the SLX experience fun. |
