Hi,
I have been looking into updating my dev environment. I currently have
my machine running windows 2003 server hacked back into a workstation
so that i can develop multiple websites. the main reason for needing
multiple websites is that i use isapi rewrite and so need seperate
configurations.
However I now have a new PC which support hardware virtualisation and
a MSDN license. I have been looking into and trying out a few ideas of
how best to setup my dev environment. My current idea is as follows:
Host: Vista Ultimate
VirtualServer1: WindowsXP Pro
VirtualServer2: Windows2003Serv er
The idea would be to develop in the XP machine using the Host file
system - via a network share. then use the same network share on the
2003 server to test and run the websites. However with my tests i
can't seem to get IIS to run the sites over the network share. I don't
have any domain controller and i'm using the loopback network.
I would appreciate any pointers.
