Hi, Does anyone know if you can run 2 copies of the forum at once. Have one forum in a directory, and another forum in a different directory. I've done this, and have changed the cookie name and database path in the common.asp files, but I think the application sessions are causing me problems. Like if I lock one forum, and browse to the other forum, it is also locked. I'm sure it's something simple I have missed :) Craig. |

What you will need to do is edit the common.asp files on both the forums and change the 'blnUseApplicationVariables' to false. This way the forums will not interfere with each other, also you will need to disable the Active Users feature from the admin area. Alternatively, if you can run the forums in separate sub domains so they each run in their own application. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Does using the application variables speed up the forum much? I
may have spoken too soon in my previous post as I still can't get it
going properly even with different sub-domains. Using FireFox I
view the cookies and there are ones for "members.mydomain.com" and "forum.mydomain.com" but locking one forum, and browsing to the other, it appears as locked too. |

Using application variables does give some extra performance as it means less calls to the database when loading up pages. Possibly your problem is that your web host doesn't give you a different application pool for sub domains. Check with them on this and if not ask them if you could have each sub domain running in it's own application pool. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

That was it. My host has set my two forum directories to each have their own application pool. Thanks boRg!  |
