Open IIS Manager:

  • Create a new Application Pool for each external site site that is required. For this example we will assume that we have two Workspaces  / Sites called SiteA and SiteB.



  • In the Actions area select Add Application Pool.


  • Enter a Name for the Application Pool which needs be prefixed with ws in order that the Application Pool can be identified as relating to a particular Workspace. Leave the defaults for the other entries as above. Click OK.
  • Select the Advanced Settings under Edit Application Pools and make sure that ‘Enable 32-Bit Applications’ is set to 'False' from v6.0.0 onwards. Prior to v6.0.0 set to ‘True’.
 

Our initial site has been deployed with applications at Site level, but it may be necessary to to create an application below the Site level.

  • Either way, click on the Basic Settings Action for the Site.



  • Click the Select.... on the Edit the Site dialog to pick the relevant Application pool for the Site. Click OK.
  • Repeat these steps for any other Site you require.
