How can I implement the following architecture using MCMS 2002? I have the
following site architecture defined:

Site1.com - (unique IP address and port) {This is also localhost and
were
MCMS was initially installed}
Site2.com - (unique IP address and port)
Site3.com - (unique IP address and port)

I have already defined seperate channels for each site as well as unique
content. All sites will be secured using AD authentication and will have
their own search instances and navigation.

Each site is a seperate ASP.NET 1.1 application which includes the
respective custom code and template files and is uniquely located on the fil
e
system (each solution is in it's own directory structure.)

The problem is that when I try to access either Site2 or Site3 I keep
getting a Resource not found error message on the template files.  I have
tried creating virtual directories as indicated in another post, but this
seems to be leading me into a more complex solution that it needs to be.  So
is there a way to have 3 _distinct_ instances of cms on the same server or i
s
there a better solution?

TIA,
Rich

Hi Rich,



Please check the following in your solution

You have to create parent channel for each site also for resources and
templates

I think you did the first which is creating parent channel but you forgot
the resources, so do it and map you code to these resources.

Hi Rich,

you need to ensure thet the template files are available in each sites.
If all of these sites use the same template project you have to ensure that
the same virtual path exists in all sites.

Cheers,
Stefan
