Yes, you should be able to do that. Make sure, when you install CF MX, that you choose the "standalone" option, and don't choose to upgrade your current CF install, if that option is offered. Also, you'll have to edit some CF MX configuration files, after the install, to enable CF MX to support multiple virtual servers. This is described in the documentation, as well as in the MM technotes. > If so, what would be the exact changes that would be needed > to move a site from cf4.5 to cf mx, using IIS5? You'd have to remove the ISAPI extension used by CF 4.5; you can do this within the IIS management console. Then, you'd need to run the JRun connector to configure that specific IIS virtual server to send .cfm requests to CF MX. The JRun connector is described in the documentation. The program you'd run is \CFusionMX\runtime\bin\wsconfig.exe. > On a related note, I assume there wouldn't be a problem > accessing the same directory of files with cf4.5 and cfmx > at the same time, is there? No, you shouldn't have any problem; I've done that with CF 5 and CF MX running concurrently. However, during the install, make sure you don't overwrite your CF 4.5 CFIDE with your CF MX one.
