Trouble with Installing for Multiple Sites on Same Server

Reply Quote

I have found a couple of other posts wich are very similar but yet do not address my trouble exactly.

here is my configuration. We have multiple sites located at:

D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/
D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client2/
D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client3/

etc. Each of whom would like to use the editor. We want only ONE instance of the /bin/ and /CuteSoft_Client/ directories. According to what I have read on other posts:

http://www.cutesoft.net/forums/9422/ShowPost.aspx and

http://www.cutesoft.net/forums/9563/ShowPost.aspx

I should be able to install the two directories as follows:

D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/bin/ and
D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/CuteSoft_Client/

and it should work for all of the sites. Correct?

OR - and I confess I don't fully understand virtual directories in IIS - I should be able to install them here:

D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/bin/ and
D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/CuteSoft_Client/

and then use the following declaration in each instance of the editor:

<CE:Editor FilesPath="/CompleteConsulting" ...

and that should work. But - NEITHER are working.

I DO have the editor working for two clients, but in each case the directories are duplicated, first inside of:

D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/ and then again inside:
D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client2/

So my question is simple. How do I configure the install and the FilesPath= so that I do not have to replicate directories.

Thank you!

Casey

Just as an FYI: here's what I have tried now...

I created an actual directory at:

D:\Inetpub\WWWRoot\CuteEditor_NET

and inside of it are:

D:\Inetpub\WWWRoot\CuteEditor_NET\bin and
D:\Inetpub\WWWRoot\CuteEditor_NET\CuteEditor

Then I created a virtual directory and pointed it at:

D:\Inetpub\WWWRoot\CuteEditor_NET\

And I referenced this directory in the actual editor as such:

<CE:Editor FilesPath="/CuteEditor_NET"

Here is the error:

So, I'm thinking i just need to adjust the FilesPath="/CuteEditor_NET" so it can find default.config. I'll spare you the time reading more and looking at the extra image... that didn't work either.

Thank you!!!

Casey,

Solution:

1. You have three sites. You can install one instance of the /bin/ and /CuteSoft_Client/ directories on one site.

D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/bin/
D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/CuteSoft_Client/
D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client2/
D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client3/

The above setting will allow you run CuteEditor on client 1 site.

2. In the client 2 and client 3 site, you need to create two virtual directories.

create a virtual directory (CuteSoft_Client) and point it to the location (D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/CuteSoft_Client/).
create a virtual directory (Bin) point it to the location (D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/CuteSoft_Client/).

That will resolve your problem.

The following thead will help as well:

Thank you Adam for your help!

I made the virtual directories as you explained. I assumed at first that you meant to say:

create a virtual directory (CuteSoft_Client) and point it to the location (D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/CuteSoft_Client/).
create a virtual directory (Bin) point it to the location (D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/Bin/).

instead of:

create a virtual directory (CuteSoft_Client) and point it to the location (D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/CuteSoft_Client/).
create a virtual directory (Bin) point it to the location (D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/CuteSoft_Client/).

And I got an error. So then I adjusted the second virtul directory exactly as you stated, and I get the same error:

Also, do I still need "<CE:Editor FilesPath="/virtualDirectory" ..." in the subsequent instances of the editor?

Thanks,

Casey

Casey,

It should be:

Create a virtual directory (CuteSoft_Client) and point it to the location (D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/CuteSoft_Client/).
create a virtual directory (Bin) point it to the location (D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/Bin/).

If you create the virtual directory and name it "CuteSoft_Client", you don't need to specify the FilesPath property.

Adam,

Again - thank you. I created the directories like this:

D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/bin/
D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/CuteSoft_Client/
D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client2/bin/
D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client2/CuteSoft_Client/

Where "bin" at "client1/bin" and "CuteSoft_Client" at "client1/CuteSoft_Client/" are actual directories. The editor for client1 works perfectly.

But, "bin" at "client2/bin" and "CuteSoft_Client" at "client2/CuteSoft_Client/" are VIRTUAL directories which point to their twins in client1. The editor for client2 responds just as if the directories did not exist and errors out.

??

Again Adam - thank you for your help!

Are you sure the steps to create the VIRTUAL directories are correct?

Please check the following article:

I'm fairly sure they are created correctly. Here's a quick screen shot I put together.

Casey,

Sorry, the bin folder can't be a virtual directory.

Either in the GAC or in the /bin directory.

Inetpub/WWWRoot/myCompany/client2/bin/CuteEditor.dll

If you still have problems, try put CuteEditor.dll under D:/Inetpub/WWWRoot/MyCompany/client1/CuteSoft_Client/bin/

Keep me posted

Ok, we are making progress. I am now using the actual bin directory instead of a virtual directory, and the CuteSoft_Client directory is virtual and pointing to the other client location.

The editor no longer errors out, but it's not working right either. The first problem is that the custom tool bar I made displays all wrong with big gaps between rows of buttons, and the second problem is that the content does not load!!

Note that when I switch back to using the actual CuteSoft_Client directory instead of the virtual one, the tool bar displays properly and the content loads as it should.

Any ideas?

I saw your last post after I posted ther message above. Do you mean to copy the entire bin directory into the CuteSoft_Client directory? I did that, and it solved the problem of the tool bar being all messed up but the content still does not load.

Hmm - okay. The content not loading seems to be only an issue in FireFox. It loads just fine in IE. Have you seen this before? The good news is that the install is now working fine in IE.

Wahoo!!
