asked on How to start 2 copies of one application with different Web.Config file /connection strings/?
Dear experts,
I’m professional programmer since 2000 years, but new to IIS7.5 administration and I need a little help.
I had an application in ASPX which do a specific business function and is started via URL call. It worked, but I want to start 2 different copies of this application – for example one to be called with
https://83.222.134.12/Demo2/calc/Default.aspx
and other with
https://83.222.134.12/Demo3/calc/Default.aspx
Actually I manage to make this, with virtual directories and with new application, but I need to have completely different web.config in which also there are connection strings that should use different database, BUT ARE WITH THE SAME NAME. Now I get error that
Parser Error Message: The entry 'ASPData2' has already been added.
How to do deal with this?

an ip is one of 3 items that have to be unique per website, the other 2 are port and name. the second one can use a name of demo3 otherwise it would be under the default website and not a subdirectory you could then call them as
https://demo2/ and https://demo3 just add the 2 names either to DNS or hosts file

Ok, I can make this and like different sites. But did I get extra benefits from this? If it is equal in final result I think one website with many applications are OK? What do you think ??? What problems I may face with 1 site and many applications ?
I think I can stop one application /for maitaince/ while other is working, right ? This with different pool for every app seem to me enoght. Or I'm wrong?

I'm ready to give you the points, just want to ask - for my case - I need a new application for every copies of applications, or new virtual directories ?
It look a new site is not proper, I want all different copies to be accessed via same IP while a new site require a new LAN card.
For my purpose is enoght to have 2 copies working under different pool that will grant me that a problem with one app do not affect other. I set this with new application.
