Multiple Web App Instances from the Same Folder

Targets Web
1

Is it possible (and safe) to launch several instances of a web app from the same folder in Windows? I can specify the port number when launching the instance using the --port command line option. I have tried this on my local server and it seems to work OK but was wondering if others have done this in a production environment?

E.g. Program resides in:
c:\Program Files\Wasp\Pathways.exe

and is launched with 3 shortcuts like this:
Target: c:\Program Files\Wasp\Pathways.exe --port=9001
Target: c:\Program Files\Wasp\Pathways.exe --port=9002
Target: c:\Program Files\Wasp\Pathways.exe --port=9003

I would then have 3 instances running from the same target exe file.

Thanks in advance

I did that on linux behind a load balancer, and for me that worked…

You should think about Databases, files etc. there that could cause problems…

That’s good to know — I thought you’d have to run copies of the application. If you open the SQLite databases in multi-user mode it should work OK.
