Are two instances of NopCommerce 2.50 installation possible in one domain

We are planning to install two instances of nopcommerce  V2.50 into our shared webserver having IIS version 6.0 and WIN 2003.

We installed 1st instance successfully at the root of our domain,

http://www.newsite.kinvah.com – Main site with Nopcommerce 2.5 ASP.NET 4.0. with independent application pool

2nd instance in the VIRTUAL DIRECTORY
http://www.newsite.kinvah.com/retail - Secondary installation of Nopcommerce 2.5, ASP.NET 4.0 sharing the above site’s application pool
we are facing issue with this installation.

Is it possible to install nopcommerce application in this way. Kindly, please suggest me the correct procedure for installing nopcommerce V2.50 in main as well as  in sub domain. If this works well, we won’t mind paying the $50 per site…


Thanks & Regards ,

I suspect not because i have tried it myself. the second installation was to upgrade without losing the site.


lets see what the experts say.

Hi

I have 6 instances on one domain.

I have used IIS 7 with Windows server 08 but have created 3 seperate user and 3 different application pools that are .net 4 intergrated.

The difference is I haven't used virtual directories but all installed all at the root level.

I can't see why not. You may need to create two different Database's unless you need to contain all data in one. If so before installing just copy the App data - setting.txt (connection string) and plugin.txt to that directory and it should work.

Remember I'm not 100% as I don't have virtual directories but all installed at root.

Try it hope this helps.

I've done it with Arvixe.  Very easy - in control panel just "Add New Domain", choose Sub-Domain, enter sub-domain prefix, keep "Create Web site" checked.   It automatically sets up the sub-domain and a new root level folder.

But I think the subdomain may be the issue here, especially if you have different stores you want to have a single identity for. Main reason I didn't go with Arvixe.

But you are right. Very simple, assuming the proper version of nop is installed in their apps gallery.
