All the settings are saved in the neo-*.xml files found in \coldfusion7\lib. You can also create a CAR file if you're running Enterprise or Developer. > I dondt know how to have more than one JRun instance.

Well, first you have to install CF using the multiserver option. This requires Enterprise or Developer. This installs a full copy of JRun, creates one JRun server to administer JRun itself, and creates another JRun server for CF. This is described here under "Installing the Multiserver Configuration": http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=Part_1_Ins talling_1.html Then, you would create additional JRun servers and install CF into those servers. If you're installing multiple copies of the same version of CF, you could do that through the Instance Manager found in the CF Administrator. If you want to install different versions of CF, things get a bit more complicated - you have to create an EAR file, as described under "Installing the J2EE Configuration" in the previous link. You would also have to create a new JRun server, which can be done from within the JRun admin console as described somewhere within here: http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/jrun/ (unfortunately, this is packaged so I can't link to the appropriate bit of documentation) Finally, you'd deploy your EAR file within the new JRun server. That's described in the CF installation docs mentioned above. Now, I'll admit that this documentation is somewhat terse, to say the least. But, you can probably figure things out with a bit of trial and error, and direct specific questions to the list as needed. At least, as far as installing the multiserver version of CF8, then installing CF7 within it. You'll then need Matthew's instructions for configuring Apache - I don't think those will work unless you're using the multiserver version.
