Hi All,

I am using host header redirects in IIS to setup multiple websites on a
single IIS server (Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition).

So we have the default website and the new one we have created.

The new one I have limited connections to 5.

Everything works perfectly until the 5th connection is reached and then I
get the dreaded 503 Service Unavailable message.

I have created a new application pool and assigned it to this website and
changed the Identity to configurable and to make sure it is not a permissions
issue I even gave the user admin privledges ... but things are still not
working.

Anyone have any idea what may be causing this problem?

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

I am not familiar with "host header redirects" so i am not sure what
exactly this means (i cannot recall i have seen such thing in IIS so i
don't know what you have done in IIS to configure it).

I also cannot understand your problem. You say you have limited the number
of connections, and when this limit is reached, you see a 503 Service
Unavailable, which is the error message you will see when the limit is
reached. So the "issue" seems to be by design, and the error message is
the expected one when the connections limit is reached.

I exptected a 403 error "Too Many Connections". Was I wrong?

I thought IIS would still serve up a configurable error page IE: A page I
can customize. I can't touch the 503 error so it is not really that useful.

You were wrong. The expected result from IIS 6.0 is 503 Service Unavailable.
