Multiple Application Pools

Just looking for a little bit of advice on Application Pools.

I am running multiple site from one installation of Mojoportal. Do you have any advice on whether to use one application pool on IIS for all the sites or to have one each?

Currently I have one each. I suspect that the answer is to change so that all will have the same application pool to help keep the sites alive, unless one of the sites starts to get excessive traffic.

I guess that the names "pool" gives it away that many sites can share the same application pool. as suggested in the following link http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/67e39bd8-317e-4cf6-b675-6431d4425248.mspx?mfr=true

Re: Multiple Application Pools

We have a single installation of mojoPortal running 11 sites. In IIS, our mojoPortal installation is running as the default web site, so of course there is only a single app pool for it. Our multiple sites are defined by subdomain, so it's mojoPortal that decides which site to serve based on the host name mapping settings. I'm actually not sure why (and how) you would define multiple sites/app pools in IIS for a single mojoPortal installation with a single web.config file.

I hope that's useful to you.

Re: Multiple Application Pools

Many thanks for that. 

I think that I am just being very inefficient having so many applications. I will follow your advice and work of one application pool. I very much suspected that would be the case, hence the question. 

Really appreciate your feedback.
