Hi all,

Anyone know all steps to configure DNN in a webgarden (more than 1 worker process) ?

Be aware that if you configure DotNetNuke to run in a web garden that you will notice "erratic" behaviour when doing administration.

This is because of all the caching that is going on. If you add a new page, you may get switched to a different process in the web garden which does not have that new page cached yet so it'll look like it disappeared.

If you are going to use web gardens then you should configure it after everything is already running and you don't plan on doing updates to your site.

Another way to configure it is for normal traffic to be directed to a website that has a web garden, and your administration to be ran from a different IIS website with only a sngle worker process that has the same home directory for the DNN install.

If you have constantly updating pages such as a forum then I would advise against using web gardens.

By the way, the same can be said for web farms unless the seperate processes all cache to the same physical space such as a file share.
