We currently have two servers and two CMS sites, intranet and internet in
development. Both sites are authored on the same server. The intranet site i
s
published on this same server and the internet site is published on the
second server for public access. Both sites access the same CMS database, an
d
both are top level channels under /Channels, named Intranet and
www.companyname.com

In IIS on the authoring server neither site currently has an IP address set.
The Intranet site is on port 80 and the Internet site port 82. The IIS sites
are named Intranet and www.companyname.com (to correspond to the top level
channel names)

When we go live am I right in thinking what needs to be done is:
On the authoring server:
1. Assign the same IP address to both authoring sites
2. Change the port number on the Internet authoring site to also be 80 (so
both authoring sites are default on this server)
3. Switch on host header mapping in the SCA
4. Add the DNS entry for the Intranet site so subscribers can navigate to
"Intranet"

On the Internet server:
1. Set the IPAddress www.companyname.com of the internet site in IIS

Does this all seem correct?

Thank you.

Hi Dasdardly,

looks correct.

Cheers,

One small problem. As far as I can see there is no way to have two sites on
the same machine using the same IP and port number without setting a host
header in IIS in the sites' advanced properties. When I add a host header to
each site in IIS than I can't access the sites anymore.

Do I have to have multiple IP addresses assigned to a machine to have all
sites on port 80?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

first of all: you can easily use the same IIS website to host multiple
different MCMS websites.
If you don't like this can need to use IIS host headers. This will work -
except if you are using SSL as IIS host header mapping is not supported with
SSL.

Cheers,
Stefan
