First let me begin by saying XOOPS is great! I just installed it in my system and I LOVE it! I'm a newbie at managing my web server so I hope you'll forgive this question...

I have a Windows2k server running IIS and the box has one IP address. I have three web sites running on this server (Site A, Site B, & Site C). I installed XOOPS into the main directory of Site C - the only one where I currently want it to run. Everything works perfectly!

Unfortunatley, when I point my browser to the URLs for Sites A & B, I get the XOOPS login screen. What have I done wrong? Is there a way to limit XOOPS so that it only responds when pointing to the Site C URL? Please remember that I'm a newbie when posting suggestions.

Again, GREAT product!

PS In my troubleshooting I did note that if I "stop" Site C using the IIS manager, the problem disappears...

Re: Installation Help - IIS running multiple sites

Have you been hosting multiple sites or is the multiple site option new?

Either way, if you are a newbie, in order to host multiple IIS websites you will need to use host headers. When you manage the website got to the properties of the website. The first tab is "Web Site". Click on the advanced button. There is an option for multiple identies for this web site. You need to add the host headers for this website in here.(ex. IPaddress: (All Unassigned), Port: 80, Host header name: mysite.com) Create one for mysite.com and http://www.mysite.com. This way when the packets hit the webserver, whatever is in the host header will determine which website is displayed.

This will need to be done for each website. If not, all traffic will be sent to your Default Website.
