Richard Benson's questions

Running HAProxy with multiple SSL websites, and I would love to define a single backend (it's going to the same servers) but somehow specify the port to use on the backend in the front-end config, e.g.:

frontend front01_https
    mode            tcp
    bind            1.2.3.4:443
    default_backend https_cluster:1500

Trying mostly to tidy up my HAProxy config and make the stats more useful by combining the backends rather than having a backend for each front end or dropping down to listen blocks.

Migrated an old classic ASP application from Server 2008 R2 to a new Server 2008 R2 SP1 and having serious issues now. All set ups and configs are identical between the "old" and new servers, no code has changed, all I did was move it from one box to another.

Initially 500s will start appearing with a Server.CreateObject Failed on CDO.Message eventually turning into :

Unknown scripting language

/path/file.asp, line 1

The scripting language 'VBScript' is not found on the server.

There are other classic ASP sites working fine on the same server (in fact, the site this application is a part of is also classic ASP and works fine).

Simply recycling the app pool gets rid of all errors and the application works for an undetermined amount of requests. This makes me feel it is not a permissions or necessarily a config error. At the moment, as it's internally used, I have the application pool recycling every 30 minutes, but it still dies multiple times a day and we are not talking 000's of requests here, a few dozen at most.

I have duplicated the setup on another 2008 R2 SP1 box and have the same results, if it could have any bearing, these are Rackspace Cloud Servers; old ones are in the US new ones are in the UK.

I am happy to accept "coding error" as a solution, if you can give me some hints where to look and why it was fine on 2003 and 2008 R2.

My biggest concern is that these servers are supposed to be taking our entire collection of sites running happily on the US servers, some of which are also old and classic ASP, so will they all fail as well?
