    Posted: 21 April 2004 at 2:03pm

Hi,

I have succesfully installed a second instance of WebWizForum 7.7 on our server. It is running fine and all functionality seems to be working.

However, I am having one problem: the Active Users list and the Header Image on the second forum instance are somehow being pulled from the first forum instance.

I have modified the SQL_server_connection.asp file and it is definitely working properly -- I don't get any of the topics, users, etc. from the First Forum in the second one. I have also modified the strCookieName constant to a new value for the second instance.

The fact that topics, etc. are working made me think it might have been a cookie or session problem, but I deleted all files from my computer and the problem still exists.

The weird thing is, when I run the two forums locally on my developer machine, using exactly the same files, and accessing the same SQL Server DB online, it works fine and I don't have the problem.

To see the problem live, go to:

The header image and active user lists there are actually from:
http://www.lebowskifest.com/forum/

Thanks for any help anyone can give -- great product!

im not 100% sure but the values you are stating are used with application values.. run on the hosts server... so the sites poling are done on the same server...

You need to turn off Application variables (i believe the setting is in common.asp).

This has been talked about before and posted many times. Doing a search would bring up those threads.

So it would be like something defined in the global.asa, or ...???

The thing that has me pulling my hair out is that it works fine on my local machine, using same web files, and even the same db (I'm pulling from the live db onto my local machine).

So, I can see what you're saying, it must be something like that, I just don't know where to look.

thx,

BP

The active users list will not run with forums installed on the same application pool.

The only solution would be to place oen in it's own web eg. a sub forum inorder for active users to work correctly.

-borg-,

why not do something like this with the app vars?



'App var name
strAppName = "WWF"


'Set the app var
Application(strAppName & "strForumName") = "My Forum"


'Read the app var
strForumName = Application(strAppName & "strForumName")

That would solve the problem.

Thanks for the replies....I really appreciate the help.

I did search before posting -- on "multiple instances", "multiple installations", etc., but did not find the information you posted.
