Yes, if PHP and Perl are already installed then just install ColdFusion and it will process .cfm files by default. PHP and Perl will continue to work. > Can we have a new "development" server in apache and rebuild the site in CF while the old PHP perl web site is running at the same time? Yes, you can make a virtual host in apache for your development server and build there the CF version of the site without disturbing the currently running version. > Then when the new site that is written in CF we will point the DNS over to the "development" IP. Given that they're on the same server you could just change the ServerName or ServerAlias directive when you want to bring the new version online. -- <mack /> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Sams Teach Yourself Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes by Ben Forta http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=40 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:14:3820 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/14 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:14 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.14 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
