Thanks, I think. The trouble for me is whenever i come close to this sort of thing, people use terms i haven't any understanding of.
For example, "...installed CF7 as an EAR within a new JRun instance.." might as well be Russian i'm afraid. I havent installed CF7 at all since a month after it was released. So it's installed as whatever it was when i did that, over a year ago. I thought about removing it and then reninstalling it, but i couldnt find how to save all the settings, and didnt relish having to set up 40+ DSNs and all the other tweaks stuff from a year's work all over again. I dondt know how to have more than one JRun instance. I looked through teh docs and it tells you plenty of times that you can have multiple instances, but nothing i could find about how to do it. What command goes and from where? I konw a lot about code, and site building, but i never have to play with server things so my knowledge of server issues is very sketchy. (as i suppose is blatantly obvious) Earlier in this thread, Matthew told me how he configures his Apache http.conf file, but he didnt say how you determine which port the second instance of jrun is going to be on. Or how you determine which code the jrun is going to use. So he went some of the way to describing what i have todo, but not all the way. That's been the story of my life since i was a teenager - getting only to second base and never all the way.
