Copy website to same server

I want to run two versions of a web application on the same server, on two
different websites. The only difference is that I want to run one with
Windows Integrated authentication, and one with Basic plus SSL. The first
website already exists. The server is W2K3.
I can export the configuration to a file, and I can create a new web from
the file, but I am unclear what I would need to change to create the second
site, just to change the identity, not to change settings yet. I don't have
a spare machine to experiment on at the moment.
What are the things I must change in the configuration file before creating
the second site, if anything? Or does the Create From File do that already?
Thanks very much.

Re: Copy website to same server

Hi,

Why would you do two sites in this case? You can have one site with both
settings enabled... It will go from more secure authentication option
(Integrated) to less secure auth. option (Basic) if the client can't do
Integrated. Personally -- from what you wrote -- I don't see any good reason
for having two sites.

Re: Copy website to same server

Its a commercial application. One site is the default installation, and for
internal access. The other with Basic/SSL and possibly Digest is for
external access. This way I can experiment with the authentication without
changing the default installation of the application and voiding support.

Re: Copy website to same server

Then perhaps you might want to define a new site but point it to
the same content, and then just alter the authentication properties
of the second site ??

Re: Copy website to same server

That's exactly my question. I need to copy all the attributes of the site.
Its a large comlex site. I can use the Copy configuration to file, and I can
create website from the file, but I am asking what if anything I need to
edit in the file before I create a new website from it on the same server.
Some of the parts of the xml look as though they are supposed to be unique.
Thanks,
Anthony

Re: Copy website to same server

You don't have to edit anything before. If there will be conflicts (e.g. TCP
port or IP address conflict), new site will not start and you will be able
to change configuration then.

Re: Copy website to same server

All done and it works fine. I removed obviously unique stuff from the xml,
like the SSL access. I replaced the website number, path etc with other
values. Then I created the website with the XML file and modified the
permissions on the new site.
The problem I needed to solve was that I want to Require SSL if Basic is
used, but not if WIA is used, because of the overhead. So I need one site
for WIA and a separate site for Basic+SSL.

Re: Copy website to same server

Hi Anthony,

A nice third-party solution is RDS or R-1 from RepliWeb
(www.repliweb.com). R-1 or RDS can automate the process/outcome you
described below.

Re: Copy website to same server

Its interesting, because you obviously have a product for web replication,
but I don't see how it helps to recreate a web with different directory
secuity settings,
