Method and Analysis of IIS application pool creation page 1/3

When IIS 6.0 runs in Working Process isolation mode Program Combined into the application pool. The application pool allows you to apply specific configuration settings to multiple application groups and allow working processes to provide services for these applications. You can specify any web or virtual directory to the application pool.

By creating a new application pool and specifying websites and web applications to them, the efficiency and reliability of the server can be improved, and make other applications always available even when the new application pool is terminated.

Important you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer or be granted permissions to perform the following steps. Best for security *, log on to your computer using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and run the command as an administrator to run the IIS manager. At the command prompt, type RunAs/User: administrative_accountname "MMC % SystemRoot % \ system32 \ inetsrv \ IIS. msc ".

In IIS manager, expand the local computer, right-click application pool, point to new, and then click application pool ".
In the application pool ID box, type the name of the new application pool.
Under "application pool Settings", click "use default settings for new application pools" or "Use existing application pools as templates ".
If you select "use existing application pool as template", click the application pool to be used as the template from the "application pool name" list box.
Click OK ".

How to create and isolate applications
To create an application, specify the directory as the start point of the application (application root directory ). Then you can set the properties of the application. Each application can have a memorable name, which appears in the IIS manager and provides a method to differentiate applications. The Application name is not used elsewhere.

By default, a website is used as a root-Directory Application. When you create a website, a default application is created. You can use an application at the root directory level or delete it. You can also delete it and create a new application to replace it.

Best for security *, log on to your computer using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and run the command as an administrator to run the IIS manager. At the command prompt, type RunAs/User: administrative_accountname "MMC % SystemRoot % \ system32 \ inetsrv \ IIS. msc ".

Create an application

In IIS manager, expand the local computer, right-click the directory where the application starts, and then click "properties ".
Click the main directory, virtual directory, or Directory tab.
In the application settings section, click Create ". If you see the "delete" button instead of the "Create" button, it indicates that the application has been created.
In the Application Name box, type the name of the application.
Click OK ".
Isolating applications indicates configuring them to run in a process (memory space) different from the Web server and other applications. You can run IIS 6.0 in one of the following isolation modes: Working Process Isolation Mode or IIS 5.0 Isolation Mode. IIS cannot run in both modes.

During the new installation, the working process isolation mode is the default mode for running servers. In this mode, you can isolate an application by adding it to the application pool that includes the isolation settings. For more information about creating and configuring an application pool, see configure an application pool.

Isolate applications in Working Process Isolation Mode

In IIS manager, expand the Local Computer, expand the "website" folder, right-click the application to be isolated, and then click "properties ".
Click the main directory, virtual directory, or Directory tab (depending on the application ).
In the application settings section, click application pool in the application pool list box.
Click application, and then click OK ".
IIS 5.0 isolation mode allows you to operate applications developed by earlier versions of IIS in IIS 6.0.
