Hello all,
I have written up a 10 step process of how to install multiple farcry
sites on a server using one farcry admin/core and different domains (or
subdomains). I tried to get it to work inside one domain
(www.domain.com/site1) but failed. If anyone can post a way to do
that, that'd be great.
Also, I find I have to change all the default values in the admin after
each install. Is there anyway to import settings/config from another
install?
But in the meantime, this works for me. Windows 2003, MySQL 5, CFMX7,
Farcry 3.0.1.
To make a new Farcry site:
1. Point your domain name (or subdomain) at your server. (I call it
yourdomain.com below.)
2. Decide on a name for the site (alphanumeric, starting with alpha):
<sitename>
(For simplicity, I'm using <sitename> for the folder name, and the
database, but it doesn't have to be the same name. It just seems
simpler that way to me to keep things straight.)
3. Create an empty database in MySQL with the name <sitename>.
4. Log into Cold Fusion admin and create a datasource in Cold Fusion
pointing to this database with datasource type OTHER:
jdbc url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sitename
driver class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
driver name: (blank)
username: (fill in)
Pass: (fill in)
5. Create empty sitename and www folders:
C:\farcry\sitename\www
(Or whereever your farcry lives)
6. Create a new web site entry in IIS pointing to the same place:
D:\farcry\sitename\www
7. Create a virtual directory the new IIS entry called "farcry"
pointing to:
D:\farcry\farcry_core\admin\
8. Run the installation wizard from: http://localhost/farcry/install
NOTE: you must do this locally.
Settings: Sitename: sitename
installation dsn: sitename
db type: MySQL
DBOwner: (blank)
Application Mapping: /
FarCry admin mapping: /farcry
farcry domain: (fill in url: yourdomain.com)
CHECKBOXES: install database only - don't check.
Note: ignore fact that VIEW SITE button won't work.
9. Open D:\farcry\apps.cfm and make sure the second to last line says:
stApps['localhost'] = 'sitename';
If it doesn't have sitename for localhost, make it so.
10. Run the FarCry updaters for b300 and b301 independently. IGNORE any
errors.
http://localhost/farcry/updates/index.cfm
Click on "Return to Farcry at bottom after each update.
11. Log in via admin at http://localhost/farcry/ with user/pass:
farcry/farcry.
You'll see several "Application Scope Refreshed" alerts. That's fine
and good.
Enter profile info as prompted (or do this later)
At bottom of left Admin pane is CHANGE PASSWORD link. Do so.
Now you can continue here or:
10. Access admin here: http://yourdomain.com/farcry/ This will be the
url for admin.
Localhost will only work until apps.cfm gets changed with next
install.
11. All non-default settings still need to be made in admin, such as:
Admin/Config Files/General: sitetagline, sitetitle, etc
Admin/Config Files/FUSettings: domain, suffix, urlpattern
Thanks!
Maya
