In general, I would recommend that you install CF 9 as multi-server, and then install CF 8 as an instance in that. This guarantees that you get the latest version of JRun. Honestly, I'm not sure if there are any differences between the version of JRun with CF 8 and with CF 9, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were some small, poorly-documented differences. > also, can both my cf8 and cf9 instances have context root set to / ? > i have tried changing cf9 instance's context root to /, but if then > fails to restart the service it seems... You can't have two J2EE apps with the same context root attached to the same virtual web server. The context root is used by the web server (or more accurately, by the JRun module installed into the web server, I guess) to determine how to route requests. In my own case, I've simply set up multiple virtual web servers - easy enough to do in Apache - and configured my CF instances to point at those web servers. They can then all have the "/" context root.
