Running Multiple Websites

It is possible to run multiple websites. If you only have
one ip address, then you have to use different port
numbers or use host headers. You can't start your 2nd
website because it is using port 80...the same as the
default website. 2 websites with the same ip address
cannot both respond to port 80...unless you are using
host headers.

To create a new website in ISM, right click the server
name, select new and then website. Follow the wizard.

It sounds like there's a conflict with your sites. There are three things
that identify a site - the IP, port, and host name. One of those things
must be unique for each site. In other words, if each site uses the same IP
and port, then each one must have a unique host header name. You also MUST
be running a Server OS to do this, not W2K Pro or WXP pro.
