Andy, going back to this problem from Thursday, when you added those entries you say you did (to the neo-runtime.xml), where did you add them? Just randomly into the file? It's an XML file, of course, so it must remain well-formed, so you need to be careful about where you drop those entries.
More than that, it's a WDDX file, and those can be even more confusing. The format includes an array entry at the top (mine says length="18", in all instances and the standard deployment as well), and the mappings entries you refer to have to be the 9th entry (the 8th configmap, as the first entry is a boolean entry). To give you a "sense of direction", the 7th configmap should be the one that contains the EnableHTTPStatus entry, and the 9th configmap should contain the flashRemotingLimit entry. Hope that helps. /charlie From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fox, Andrew J Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2008 10:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: re[2]: [ACFUG Discuss] CF7 and CF8 on the same box Can someone send me a copy of a working neo-runtime.xml (preferably for a Solaris system) and maybe a list of the files that had to be created manually? I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask our sys-admin to remove the current install and go for the multi-server and see if that starts us off from a clean enough point that all of this hoop jumping isn't necessary.
