Hi,

is there a way to install the ASP.NET State Service stand alone?
I intend to run the service on our database-server and do not want to
install IIS on that machine.

When I choose to install ASP.NET on my W2K3-Server it chooses to install
all the stuff necessary to run a ASP.NET application. The only thing I want
is to run ASP.NET State Service.

TIA
Thomas
 
You don't need IIS running with State Service. You also do not need State
Server to store state in a database, if that is where you are going. I would
not employ a database for state unless you are aiming for storing state in a
database as you will have competition for resources.

Gregory,

thanks for your reply. No, I had not intention to store session data in the
database. The reason why I wanted to install state server on the db server
was simply, because I have 3 webservers hosting the application using nlb.
Having state server running on my db server I can take any machine down and
the application is still running.

Even if I don't have to have IIS running, is it correct, that I have to
install it IIS along with State Server and just stop it running or is there
a way to install it separately?

TIA
Thomas
