How to Enable Dedicated Application Pool and Write Permission for Website in WebsitePanel

1 Problem

If a website uses a shared application pool, the performance of the website could be affected if other websites also use it. Especially, if the shared application pool stops, all websites that are using it will be down. In order to avoid this problem, we can enable dedicated application pool for the websites.

In some occasions, we may not be able to modify the contents of a website. We will then need to enable ‘write permission’ to the website.
