Multiple Virtual Sites on One Server Running on Port 443

Is it possible to have multiple virtual sites on a single server running on
Port 443?

We are running W2K3 with IIS6, we have several virtual sites on the server
running just fine on port80 and up to today we had one virtual site running
on port 443. Today we had the need for a second virtual site to run on port
443,  but when we try to do this one or the other site is stopped by IIS and
when we try to start it the message says that there is another site or
application trying to run on the same port.

Each Port 443 site has it's own IP address and each site has a different
name, so why are we getting this error between these two sites? Is it
possible to run more than one virtual site on port 443?

Thanks for any help.

With unique IP address for the website, you can bind different SSL sites to
port 443.
Disable the socketpooling -
Setting metabase property DisableSocketPooling has no effect

I followed the MS direction and set DisableSocketPooling to True and then i
ran the Httpcfg.exe and set it to listen to all three IP on that server but I
am still getting the following message when I try to run the two HTTPS site
at the same time...

"IIS Manager

IIS was unable to start the site. Another site may already be using the port
configured for this site. Please select a unused port for this site."

Did I do something wrong? Any other ideas?

Thanks for any and all help.

In the properties for each website, you need to ensure that the website is
configured to listen on a single IP address only (and not "all unassigned"
or similar)

Cheers

Are both of your sites on port 443 using HTTPS, or is one site different
than the other.

They have different IP address assigned and they are both trying to use port
443 using https.

Hi
You have to assign the unique IP addresses on the Advanced Web Site
Properties Page.
The setting on the Web Site Properties is only used for port 80.
Select Web Site, open Properties, click Advanced, in the lower part
create an entry for each SSL Site.
If this doesn't work you have to edit the metabase of IIS.
