I have done this, not the co-exist with CF5 part though. Its a PITA but doable. I use the J2EE install on JRUN.
1) create an instance of JRun server and install CFMX by way of the ear file with a context root of / call it CFMX 2) start the instance CFMX 3) create a new site in IIS on a different port, say port 99, call it CFSITE. Note I said site, not virtual dir. 4) start wsconfig and associate the CFMX instance with this IIS site called CFSITE. 5) test this new IIS site with CF. THis code is a nice test <cfobject action="create" type="java" class="jrunx.kernel.JRun" name="jr"> <cfset servername = jr.getServerName()> server name <cfoutput>#servername#</cfoutput> 6) provided 5 passed the test, create your virtual dir, call it MYCF in IIS IN YOUR DEFAULT SITE, not in the CFSITE site. 7) Now, in the IIS mmc snapin, right click on your virtual dir choose properties. Hit the tab and choose configuration to modify file extension mappings. Make all your extension mappings the same as for the IIS site CFSITE. 8) Now in your virtual dir MYCF create another virtual directory called JRunScripts mapped the same as for the virtual dir called JrunScripts under your IIS site CFSITE. 9) drop the code above into your virtual dir area and test. That was a very brief outline I know, you will need to know abit about IIS and JRun/CFMX. I'm planning to draw this all up in detail someday, just don't have the time at the moment. Using this approach you could have several virtual directories pointing to different CFMX instances. I've had to do this to avoid redirecting a few thousand users to a different site. I don't know how this will work with CF5 around though.
