RE: Enhydra and MS IIS 5.0

Hi,

No two server apps can listen  for requests on the same port.  This applies for windows or unix. So you can't run a web server, and the app server using the same port for both.

 

However,  "Enhydra Director" allows you to use port 80 ( or whatever port you wish) to run your IIS or apache server.  Director can then direct requests addressed your Enhydra application, forwarding them to Enhydra running on another port.  This is transparent to your users, they use the same port for both IIS pages, and Enhydra apps.

 

For example:

http://host/index.html   might go to your IIS or apache web server root. 

But http://host/YourEnhydraApp/  would be directed to your Enhydra application.

 

I've never used Director with IIS, but it works great with apache.

Mike.

Subject: Enhydra: Enhydra and MS IIS 5.0

Is it possible to run both of these together.  I am having problems getting both to run at the same time.  I have separate IP's that I would like to use.  One for Enhydra and One for IIS.  However whenever I start either the Enhydra or IIS and use port 80 I cannot get the other to start using the same port.

 

Any info would be helpful

 

Thanks
