Can we install 2 instances of IIS 6 on a 64-bit Windows server 2003?

Hi,

Can we install 2 instances of IIS 6 on a 64-bit Windows server 2003? We need to run the SSRS (SQL server is 64-bit) and ProClarify on same server.

If not, then what is the alternative to to run the ProClarity on 64-bit server apart from setting a new server with IIS 6 and setting it to run in 32-bit mode?

Thanks,

Niteen Muley

Hi Niteen,

If you want to install both ProClarity Analytics Server and SQL Server Reporting Services on the same box then you need to use the 32-bit version of SQL Server Reporting Services.

There is no way around this I'm afraid - PAS is a 32-bit only application and requires IIS to be run in 32-bit on Windows 2003 x64

There can only be one instance of IIS on a Windows 2003 server and the Enable32bitAppOnWin64 metabase property is a global setting which affects all sites on that server.

To workaround this limitation we have installed RS on separate hardware in order to scale out.
