12/30/2022, 2:43 PMI've added a new site in IIS in production, but it's not running because it's not built out.
I need to run the wsconfig tool to get CF going there.
Does the site have to be running in IIS to do that?
Just trying to suss out my options.

12/30/2022, 6:14 PMThanks. The site is set up in IIS, serves html files and images just fine, but I then shut it off because I'm not ready for it to be live as a full-on cf site.
I'm wondering if I can run the wsconfig tool, with the IIS site stopped.

01/04/2023, 4:41 PMFor future reference, if anyone cares, I was able to run wsconfig with one of the IIS sites involved stopped. It said it was going to restart IIS, but it didn't start the stopped site, which is perfect for me.
