In my experience of 4 year I have noticed that server which is configured to have a dedicated pool for every site is more resources consuming (specially RAM) and since every application run its own process the list of active processes becomes very long and some times IIS even stops responding and requires a restarted due memory consumption by the w3svc processes (Our servers have minimum 12 GB RAM on each).

So in my opimion "If you run high number of websites then give separate application pool to a site only if it is required.."

Christian Paparelli:

for html static a default application pool is enough but i prefer everytime a dedicated application pool for each customer.

In the above statement, if there a single application used by multiple customers, then what would you suggest?

Are U talking about an application or an application pool in IIS. Because Application is created using any langauge like Html,Php,.NET,Java.....etc and this application is deployed in IIS by creating a website and that web site is Isolated from other applications by using Application Pool. Hope u can get info from above statement.

And for enabling content expired, that completely ur choice if I am not wrong. This feature actually helps ur website page or content will expire from users browser cache according to the options given in IIS. when ur website(i.e Application) contain secured data then u must enable if not then no need, it depends upon U....

Should I select "enable content expiration" on IIS for dynamic sites (like asp .net sites)?
I am asking this question because on these asp .net sites I also have static content like html pages and images.

For static content i suggest to enable content expiration for a better optimization, take a look here

Thanks Christian I just solved the problem.

I edited directly the IIS metabase xml file, removed a lot of old trash, and everything works fine now! (all this was done very carefully and with a lot of backups...)

One last question:

I am asking this question because on these asp .net sites I also have static content like html pages and images.

THANKS A LOT FOR ALL YOUR HELP !!!!!!!

have you tried to create a new web site?

Re: HTML and PHP sites

luckystroke — Mon, 26 May 2008 18:56:39 GMT

I think you didn't understand my problem.

I already have the web site created in IIS6, and when I click "create an application", nothing happens (as it usually does on other sites).

I cannot change the application pool of the site because the application is not created in IIS, so the list box to select the application pool is grayed out.

Thanks for your help.

wait the button "create an application" create a new application folder and it's necessary when you are using a different web.config, global.asax (with asp.net) or global.asa (with asp classic).

Application pool it's completly different i suggest to read this document

every web site need ad application pool :)

For PHP

Security Isolation for PHP Web Sites

The recommendation for isolating PHP web sites in a shared hosting environment is consistent with all general security isolation recommendations for IIS 7.0. In particular, it is recommended to:

Use one application pool per web site
Use user account as an identity for application pool
Configure anonymous user identity to use the application pool identity
Ensure that FastCGI impersonation is enabled in php.ini file (fastcgi.impersonate=1)

Taken from: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/208/fastcgi-with-php/

Hello

I need your help with the following question:

do static html sites or php sites need an application created in IIS?

I can't find an answer for this on the net.

Thank you for your answer!
