>From what I know, both CFMX and CF5 can co-exist on the same machine, but
both can not run of port 80. If you have CFMX installed, it needs to run
from its own server.
For production, its either 1 or the other.
As the server has installed to use its own server, and you WANT to use IIS,
you will need to change a file.
The file is [CFusionMX Install
Drive]\CFusionMX\runtime\servers\default\server-inf\jrun.xml
Starting from line 362

<service class="jrun.servlet.jrpp.JRunProxyService" name="ProxyService">
<attribute name="port">51010</attribute>
<attribute name="deactivated">false</attribute>

<!-- set this to false for multi-hosted sites -->
<attribute name="cacheRealPath">false</attribute>
</service>
This sets up the IIS stuff. I think that if the deactivated entry is set to
TRUE, it runs off the CFMX bult in server, so set it to true. Also the
cacheRealPath needs to be set to FALSE to run multiple sites off the single
server.
I some trouble reinstalling the server to run off IIS. I think i ended up
removing the directories that the uninstall leaves behind aswell as it also
contained some of the config files and did not overwrite them. If that
doesnt work, try installing into a different directory on the re-install.
The extended time on page loads is only/should only be on first load as the
server creates the jar files.
This were i would start, but you may have tried these befor.

Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Macromedia support for partners - is this really
the policy?
Well since everyone is speculating on the problem, and one person at
least has hinted that perhaps I'm just too lazy to read the docs and too
lazy to read the web site and too lazy to write an email, and for those
who haven't seen the 20-30 emails on CF-Talk on this matter, and weren't
there when Dave Watts and Chris Kief did remote desktop sessions,
perhaps I should summarise the problem, and maybe someone has another
suggestion for me to look at. (The details are all there on CF-TALK in
their horror if anyone really feels like being masochistic) ....
I decided to finally bite the bullet and upgrade to CFMX, move my
hosting company to CFMX, learn about Flash Remoting and upgrade my
clients sites. I also have a major client on CF5 who won't be upgrading
to CFMX no matter what, so I thought it would be good if both CFMX and
CF5 could coexist on the same machine (my business is only tiny I don't
have a farm of computers to work with). I read up the docs and figured
it was a possibility.
I downloaded the eval version from the Macromedia site. (I've since
downloaded it again, verified it's not corrupted). I installed it
according to the instructions. (i.e. stop IIs, double click follow the
prompts). So far so good. The CFMX came up, gave me the admin page,
and all seemed well. Except to measure response times, I had to throw
away the stop watch and use a calendar instead they were so slow. I
figured (perhaps incorrectly, but I haven't gone into that more) it was
because of the two servers on the one machine, so I grumbled and decided
I had to go with only CFMX and to drop my CF5.
I removed CFMX. Removed CF5. used Regedit to remove all coldfusion
references. Removed the folders that contained anything to do with
either. I rebooted. For good measure emptied the recycle bin and I
rebooted again. I checked that mappings in IIs were gone.
(incidentally I have WinXPPro on a PentiumIII866 with 895MB Ram and
12.5GB free disk space)
Then I installed CFMX. It didn't offer me the opportunity to check if I
wanted to use the standalone web server or IIs. It installed apparently
ok and gave me the administrator page, but only accessible using
http://localhost:8500/CFide/ etc .. because it was only using the
standalone web server. Then I tried to connect it to IIs. It just
wont.
In the log file wsconfig.log it says:
[quote]
C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\jrunwin32.dll newer than JAR file
C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig.jar so not extracted [/quote]
I'm told this is normal behaviour, but I wonder how come I can have a
file coming out of the distribution file that says it's the wrong date
for the rest of the distribution file to work with. However I have a
copy of jrun going on my system but nothing I can do will connect to it.
Nor can Dave Watts of Figleaf, nor Chris Kief. Can't connect using the
jrun gui, or the batch files.
Ok, I could get by with not being connected to IIs, but I can't set up a
virtual directory in the internal web server either. It just ignores
the change I make to the config file.
I've rebooted multiple times, I've clean-installed at least half a
dozen times.
Now.. does anyone really want to say I'm being lazy or ignorant here? I
know I'm not a server expert. I'm not a network specialist. But all I
have is a PC with a fairly new WinXP Pro installation, lots of space and
RAM and did what thousands of prospective site owners have done. I
have done more than the average prospective user would do. I have spent
a LOT of time at all kinds of hours, working on this, and called on
every resource I can think of before I went back to Macromedia. And
Macromedia slammed the door in my face unless I had money for them. I
reckon all this proves I'm not a tyre kicker. I am far more committed
than any prospective client I've ever had.
So where do I go now?
