this is a recent thread from late november of this year. here are a couple posts:
----from cameron childress 11/21/01---- what you are trying to do is called "Distributed Mode", and instructions on how to set it up (in CF5) can be found in your online docs at: /cfdocs/Administering_ColdFusion_Server/03_Configuring_ColdFusion_Server/adm in0326.htm There are also several KB articles at allaire.com about issues realted to this... --------------------------------------- ----from stephen moretti 11/21/01------ Have a look at the cfdist.ini and the cfremote.ini files in the c:\cfusion folder. The comments are fairly self-explanatory, but do a search in the knowledge base on the allaire website for cfdist and you'll find a few articles, including references to the documentation, on running CF in distributed mode. -------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Carvalho, Jason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 9:11 AM To: CF-Server Subject: CF Server on a separate machine Apologies if this has been discussed before as I am new to the list. I checked the message archives but couldn't see any discussions related to this. Has anyone tried running the CF Server process on a separate machine from their webserver? I see SP1 (for CF4.5) allows you to set the method of communication between webserver and CF server to either Unix domain sockets or TCP sockets via an environment variable. If TCP sockets are used, the webserver uses localhost port 7236 to communicate with CF server. Presumably you could intercept and redirect requests for localhost port 7236 to port 7236 on another machine and split the two services up? As long as the overhead in doing this TCP redirect is less than the overhead of CF server processing the CFML in the page, you'd be freeing up resources on your main webserver. Thoughts.....?
