Newbie trying to copy one website to another
|

| Ryan Hunt 2004-01-24, 1:50 am |
| Hello, I am brand new to IIS so I have some very elementary questions.
I have an IIS server with one default website that serves a pre-package
application. I have been asked to create an identical website with a
different URL as a separate sand box. Ideally, I would like to create an
additional site on the same webserver and simply point it to a different DB
on the SQL server already used for the application.
Can I simply copy the code underneath the www directory and create an
additional website pointing to it with a different URL???
Any input would be appreciated.

| Hello,
That might work (and of course you have to edit the code so that it uses the
other database).
But, to be honest, we cannot answer this question, because we do not know
what your application requires to be changed from the default setup (in
IIS).

Probably. Create a new virtual server and use either a different port or
the host header feature.
