Configuring Custom App Pool in IIS 7.5

I'm having a problem that is killing me for two days.
The problem is that I have to configure two reports (ColdFusion+DotNet) on IIS (Server 2008, V7.5) such that they work on seperate application pool. But if I configure such in such that way I get an error

"HTTP Error 403.18 - Forbidden

The specified request cannot be processed in the application pool that is configured for this resource on the Web server".

But this is solved if I put the application on the same pool as default website,but then the second application and the first would be on the same app pool.

I also noticed that this problem doesn't occur on windows server 2003 IIS.

I also tried isolating my application away from inetpub,that din work too

Why is this happening?

You would have to look at the settings for that app pool. Something about it is likely not right. For example, what version of .Net? Are 32 bit apps enabled?

.Net Version = 2.0;
32bit apps are enabled

Yes, but you'll have to figure out what settings you need to make it work. Unless someone has had the same problem it is unlikely we can help you. It would just be guessing.

Should the default websites app pool and my applications app pool should be the same?

Solution 1

For the Application pool you created check in the Advanced Settings to see if you have specified any username & password or has selected Built in Account option.

If you have specified any username & password please verify the credentials

I had same issue in win2008/iis7.5, found reason to be the inclusion of a period in the alias name of the application (ie this.failed) Once the period was removed, everything worked correctly. This was not an issue on win7/iis7
