Basically, I have multiple virtual hosts set up in Apache and in my HOSTS file under windows I have entries for each of my virtual hosts pointing to 127.0.0.1. So in my apache config I have farcry.local and clienta.local etc. which point to the appropriate appropriate web visible folder for those sites on my machine. Each instance that uses coldfusion has a coldfusion-ear/war folder set up, so that I can manage coldfusion for that specific instance and I generally do that via http://127.0.0.1:instanceport/cfide/administrator For farcry I just followed the instructions; extracted the files into a folder, created an farcry project folder with www under it, pointed apache virtual host config at that folder, set up the mapping under CF and apache for /farcry and created an empty datasource in MySQL with an entry in CF Admin. When I ran the install I chose not to delete the farcry_pliant folder. You can use this to do a manual install of the files for any new farcry project. When you create a new JRun/CFMX instance, make a copy of the pliant folder to your new project name alongside your existing farcry project and the core files, set up your apache virtual host, an empty database and your CF mappings and DSN. Now when you run the install just do a database install rather than a full install, making sure you fill in the new project name correctly, point it at the right domain and so on. You need to add the appropriate entry to app.cfm in your main farcry app folder or not... its simply a line as follows : stApps['yournew.domain'] = 'projectname'; Then you need to edit _serverSpecificVars.cfm in the projectname/config/ folder so that it matches your setting for this new server and that is it. I know I've ranted on about virtual hosts in apache, but given that you're running Win2k3 Server you can do exactly the same thing with IIS by setting up individual sites in IIS and setting the host headers. I'm on XP Pro at home, so you only get the single domain version of IIS and I know there is a tool out there to easily swap active domains, but its just so easy to set up multiple sites in apache and forget about it. > > The problems I was having earlier was with using a "context root".
