Re: Using DNN with existing classic ASP site

yes, you are correct. Just do not place physical ASP folder inside DNN install directory.

Re: Using DNN with existing classic ASP site

Hi Sebastian,

That is true, but I didn't think he specified that the classic asp app open in a new window. He is not running DNN at the root level, so if he styles his sites and menus the same it could be a seamless experience for the user. All he'd need to do is add a link from his cassic asp app back to DNN. Right?

BTW: IMHO You should win the DNN MVP! You've got my vote. Thanks for all the support you provide in these forums.

Re: Using DNN with existing classic ASP site

Yes - I echo that, and you also RIch. Thank you so much for the help!

I am getting a better handle on IIS as I do this. I am not sure if there is an advantage but I see now that instead of all my sites resolving to the same IP and using host headers I can set up each one on a differant IP and point to the same instance. It will make my web stats much easier to set up. Does Google care either way?

Re: Using DNN with existing classic ASP site

Hi Richard,

of course, if the mb duplicates design and navigation on both sites, he will get a seamless experience - but synching is a huge effort, and imho it would be easier to convert the ASP application into one or multiple DNN modules.

PS: thanks for your kind word - but I am never expected to win the MVP due to my personal diffences with the Community Chief in DNN Corp.

Cheers from Germany,
