thanks for your answer, Dave! setting up virtual Apache servers - something tells me it is not the same as vhosts, is it? but google seems to think it is... could you point me to where i can find more info on how to set them up?
if it is same as vhosts, then that's how i have it set up, too. i was following Matt Quackenbush's instructions in setting up cf9 with cf8 from here: http://www.quackfuzed.com/index.cfm/2009/10/18/Learning-CF9-Installing-CF9-Alongside-CF8 and, as i said, everything works just fine except the src attribute of external scripts cf inserts into the page ends up prefixed with the instance's context root /cf9... your help is very much appreciated, Dave.
