Problem Hosting two sites in IIS 6

Problem Hosting two sites in IIS 6

I am having a problem hosting multiple websites in IIS 6. I am running
Windows Server 2003 with two sites configured. Both of them are set to
use the IP address of the server and both have been assigned different
headers and port numbers to be associated with them.

One site works fine (ABL) the other does not (CFL). When accessing CFL
the server responds with a 404 error. I have tried setting both sites
to (All Unassigned) for IP Address with the same result. They have
always been using different headers, and just recently I set them to
use different ports as well ABL:9090 CFL:9393

I did notice something funny. When I check the home folder for ABL on
the hard drive and look under the Web Sharing folder it is set to
share under the ABL site with an alias of /

When I look at the home folder of the CFL site it is not set to share.
When I set it to share and select the CFL site from the drop down,
then click apply, then click ok. When I go back to the properties of
the home folder, the settings have not been applied, they have been
reset to "do not share".

I am wondering, could this be because these home folders do not reside
in the wwwroot folder? They are in the Inetpub folder at the current
time.

Also the wwwroot folder does exist in the Inetpub folder along side
the ABL and CFL folders. I have deleted the "Default Web Site" from
IIS and added the two other sites. Could this be the cause of this?
The fact that web sharing will not remain enabled is baffling to me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You might try making a new folder, putting a test file in it, and then
re-mapping the CFL site to that folder.

If it works, then the original folder probably has a permission issue on it.
You should not need to mess with the permissions, but if you have been, then
it's probably too tightly closed.

The folder location is not the reason, the permissions on the folder
probably are.
