When I build an ASPRunner project, the Application Pool for the project is automatically created in my webdsite on Port 80 in IIS 6. I have a different site running on port 80 and would like my ASPRunner project to run on Port 8070. In ASPRunner, I specify my Web Site URL as: http://localhost:8070/TNMSurvey/index.htm, but the Application Pool is always created in my Port 80 website. Is there any way to change the Application Pool or the default location of the Application Pool? I am new to Application Pools and would appreciate any help you can provide! Thanks!!

Port can be changed in your website properties. Application pools has nothing to do with ports.

From what I read about Applications pools, I agree that they have nothing to do with ports. But when I build my ASPRunner project, it puts an application pool in my default website on IIS, which is on port 80. IIS looks like this... (The ASPRunner Project Name is )

    The ASPRunner Project build puts an instance of the application pool in my website that runs on port 80. I created a new website in IIS that runs on port 8070 and set the Home Directory Local Path to the ASPRunner output folder for my ASPRunner Project. When I build the ASPRunner Project, I specify the Web Site URL as http://localhost:8070/TNM_Cust_Sat_Survey/index.htm, but the instance of the application pool is still inserted in my website in IIS that runs on port 80. When I try to access the built ASPRunner project in a browser, http://localhost:8070/TNM_Cust_Sat_Survey/index.htm results in a Page Cannot be Displayed error. I can only access the built project on port 80, http://localhost:80/TNM_Cust_Sat_Survey/index.htm. I am assuming this is because the application pool sits within the website on port 80.
    So what I am trying to determine is if I can control where the application pool for the ASPRunner Project that I build is inserted in IIS? Including the port in the Web Site URL for the ASPRunner Project does not seem to make a difference. If I can't control this in ASPRunner, once the project is built and the application pool has been inserted in the default website, is there any way to move that application pool?
    Thanks!
