Windows 2000 Server, ASP 1.1 and ASP 2.0

Windows 2000 Server, ASP 1.1 and ASP 2.0
Mon, 24 Jul 2006 11:55:17 +000
Hi,

I currently run a Windows 2000 Server machine with a number of ASP 1.1
websites running in the IIS. I've just started to develop ASP 2.0
websites but I'm getting problems when trying to view both ASP 1.1 and
ASP 2.0 web pages at the same time. Is there any features within 2000
Server to view both sites at the same time, like the application pool
within Server 2003? Or is there another way round this?

Thanks in advance

Simon

Because Windows 2000 doesn't have the application pooling feature, the only
thing I could suggest would be to try running the 1.1 sites in high isolation
mode. That will create a separate process and might allow you to have 2.0 and
1.1 on the same server. Otherwise, I'm afraid you're out of luck. 

A bit more radical approach would be to install VMWare Server on the box and
spin up a Windows 2000 or 2003 installation that would be configured with the
other version of ASP.NET that you wanted to run. Microsoft Virtual Server won't
run on Windows 2000 according to the specs:

VMWare Server does run on Windows 2000, though:

You can't run 1.1 apps in a 2.0 root as they try to read the root web.config and
bomb on any new features.  It's best to run seperate sites (host headers) for
each version, or leave out 2.0 featrues from the root web.config.
