I have two ASP.NET 4.0 test sites on a Windows 2008 server (IIS7) One uses port 80 the other port 5050. I set the same AppPool for both. The second site(the new one on port 5050) is having problems finding the SQL box on the network. Could the shared AppPool be a problem?
BTW I didn’t choose this setup. I’m just trying to make it work.
Very unlikely. Ports and IPs are configured per site, not per AppPool.
Are you using the same connection strings from both apps?
