300 Portal with other sites running

Posted By RogerNH over 9 years ago

I have encountered this problem twice now and really need an answer. Is it possible to run the Portal on an IIS server that is currently hosting other production websites? In two cases I have closely followed the instructions for installing Portal and in both cases the installation program took liberties and redirected certain web services that caused the other sites to stop working.

I have installed it correctly on a stand alone server, but not all clients have that luxury.

Is there an assumption by Sage that Portal will be the only site running on an IIS server? If not, does anyone know what I am doing wrong and what the work around might be? I got no help from Sage on this.

Thanks in advance,

Roger

Do you really need the portal? I DO NOT install the portal on any of my sites, it is a piece of trash.

Yes, I understand that but the client is evaluating 300 and wants to see it in action. I can't believe they would assume that no other sites were running on the server. Do they make that assumption for CRM as well?

LOL, anyway the portal is a waste of time.

Welcome to the wonderful world of IIS where nothing works as expected. It's up to you to figure out if there are conflicts, you're the consultant right?

IIS is not the issue, as I said it works fine if no other sites are present. The portal installation process is the problem. And yes I am a SAGE consultant but not an IIS consultant. Are you either? I doubt it since you have little useful to add here.
