GOAL:
Can two versions of WebSpeed be installed on the same machine?
GOAL:
Can two versions of WebSpeed co-exist on the same machine?
FACT(s) (Environment):
WebSpeed
All Supported Operating Systems
FIX:
Multiple versions of WebSpeed can be installed.
Yes. However the installation directories can not be the same.
Since part of the installation of WebSpeed asks what the WebServer scripts directory is, it is necessary to rename earlier versions of these files (cgiip, cgiip.exe, wsisa.dll or nsisa.dll) before the newer version is installed.
Example of possible naming conventions for multiple versions:
For version 10.1B:
wsisa101b.dll
nsisa101b.dll
cgiip101b.exe
For version 10.2B:
wsisa102b.dll
nsisa102b.dll
cgiip102b.exe
The WebSpeed files will automatically be installed into the WebServer document root directory, or a virtual directory may be established if the option is chosen during the installation, into a folder naming convention of webspeed<version number>.
Example:
webspeed102B
In cases were there will only be one major version difference, if the cgiip messenger is to be used it is compatible both backward and forward one major version.
Of course, trying to use newer features with an older messenger or WebSpeed installation will not work.
It is also possible to use the cgiip.wsc script files (option #1 within that script is very commonly used to point directly to a specific WebSpeed broker port).
Note: Using option #1 of the cgiip.wsc script bypasses the NameServer and may not be optimal in all cases.
