I have the first step done. I uninstalled CF8 (didn't save settings but they are easy to redo) and then ran into the problem I noted in another thread about Adobe not offering CF8 anymore. Going on faith that somehow I will procure another copy of CF8, I went ahead and installed CF9 in multi-server. It was simple, but not quite "stupid-simple". After setting it all up, I had to go into JRun and turn on the Proxy service so the external connectors could run, and turn off the internal web server. Then I had to open the webserver connector and rerun my Apache setup (it didn't take in the CF9 install for some reason). After that, I ran into the problem that apparently Adobe never fixed from CF8, the fact that even though I have a 32-bit install it tried to use the 6-bit version of mod_jrun20.so. So I had to grab the 32-bit copy from the wsconfig.jar file and replace the 64-bit one. Only then was CF9 running. :-) Now, crossing my fingers that CF8 is attainable somehow so I can do the second part of this... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
