Right here’s the scenario I have a load balancer with two web servers behind it both with a duplicate installation on dnn, I want to be able to set up a virtual directory in IIS that will link to a folder on storage server to store all the documents uploaded by users of the site. It looks to me that the portals directory is where the uploads will go so I’ve created a virtual directory in IIS and it called portals and placed all the files from the original portals folder into the new virtual one.  This is all fine IIS recognises it and it all works but whenever I go to the site it always creates a new portals folder locally as if it’s not recognising the virtual one I uploads to the virtual one but does not seem to function entirely correctly. Can anyone help with my problem or recommend a better method.

Many thanks in advance,

James

Thanks for your reply, I have been doing some reading and it appears that it is not really possible to set up a web farm without using a 3rd party Caching provider in the community edition. At the moment I am not in the postion to purchase the professional edition so I would like to know if for the time being if my two identical dotnetnuke sites were set up on two seperate webservers behnind a load balancer and none of the content was changed would this present any problems? also would it presnt any problems if just text was being edited? i would assume that all these changes would be stored in the database. Many thanks, James
