You're welcome, of course! And as a CF instructor, this is actually part of my work. > I have installed using the multi server options.

So, you installed CF8 using the multiserver option, then installed CF7 as an EAR within a new JRun instance? > Do you see the problem with using a simple url like > http://localhost:8501 for these? Yes, the JRun web server will only support one site at a time. > I guess I can change and only have one CF server working at a time. > Have a batch file to stop CF7 and start CF8 or the reverse. > If i did that, would i only have to just stop the services > for one and start the other? or is there more that i'd have > to do to switch between one and the other? Yes, that wouldn't really work, since each web server needs to be configured to talk to a specific JRun JNDI listening port. However, if you have the multiserver option described above, you can configure a specific Apache virtual server to point to a specific JRun instance (running one version of CF or the other). Unfortunately, the web server configuration tool won't help you much here. You'll have to edit httpd.conf by hand. You'll have to specify the appropriate JRun directives within the virtual server directive. Unfortunately, I don't have an example handy, because I haven't done this in a while, but plenty of other people do: just Google "apache cf7 cf8".
