I have been using the following for the Advanced Set up on Windows machines.
Using combinations of Windows Server 2003/XP/7, IIS6/7, CF8/9, MySQL/ MS SQL Farcry code installed to x:\Applications\Farcry6 So core code and projects are in x:\Applications\Farcry6\farcry\core x:\Applications\Farcry6\farcry\plugins x:\Applications\Farcry6\farcry\projects No CF Mappings required IIS Settings 1. I use individual Host names for each site and map these to localhost/127.0.0.1 in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file 2. FarCry Install Site, this will allow new sites to be created e.g. fcInstall Home directory x:\\Applications\Farcry6 3. Each Farcry Site – after install Home directory x:\Applications\Farcry6\farcry\projects\projectname\www Virtual Directory farcry mapped to x:\Applications\Farcry6\farcry Virtual Directory webtop mapped to x:\Applications\Farcry6\farcry\core \webtop To install a new site, 1. Create new database 2. Create CF datasource 3. in browser browse to fcInstall and follow instructions Create IIS site and virtual directories This also allows me to have different versions of FarCry core set up for testing etc., e.g. set up a x:\\Applications\Farcry6-0-1 folder, subfolders and IIS settings and I can run 6 and 6.1 in parallel on the same server. I do not use Apache, but it should not be too difficult to set up based on the IIS details above. Chris. On Mar 8, 6:51 pm, Activant <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks, Marco for your thoughts.
