Matthew, I followed your blog entry and I was surprised. It turned out to be ridiculously simple and I now have two sites running on CF8 on my machine, and the rest still on CF7 - i just click on my bookmark and the [dev copy ] site opens using the correct version of Coldfusion. Transparently and without effort.
To change a site to use CF8 i have two lines to change in the virtual-hosts.txt file then restart Apache. Total of about 30 seconds. Thanks for all your perseverance, and your help in getting me up and going with this. I definitely wouldnt have worked it out myself but I'm sure you will be pleased, or maybe relieved, to konw i have it sussed out now and I'm a very happy camper.
