[farcry-dev] Re: Multiple installs on the same server??

[Michael Shaw]

Slightly off topic but in the same vein,   Is the structure in the apps.cfm file only used for admin or is it also used for the site itself? The reason for the question is if it is only used for the admin then theoretically it should be possible to set up an admin at url admin.sitename.com for a site at www.sitename.com. Is this thinking corect??   Thanks   Mike. -----Original Message----- From: Spike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 June 2003 03:45 To: FarCry Developers Subject: [farcry-dev] Re: Multiple installs on the same server??

After that the Admin area will use it to figure out which site you are administering based on the value of cgi.script_name. Is it possible to have an admin for each site or is the admin dependent on the CF mapping and IIS mapping of /farcry and will not work with another mapping? I'm not sure what you mean here. You will automatically have the ability to administer each site individually as long as they have different application names, and use different datasources. In order to create an admin section, you just need to have a virtual directory on the website that points to e:\farcry_test\farcry_core\admin.

I have 4 sites running on my server with only a single /farcry CF Mapping. I would like to know if it is possible and what would be the best way to setup a couple of different Farcry sites on the same server for development. Someone at Daemon may want to correct me on this, but I'm pretty sure that if you want to have multiple farcry sites, you'll need to have them as individual sites in IIS rather than virtual folders on the same site. I'm probably not giving the best example of how to go about this, but I generally just copy the directory for an existing site, edit apps.cfm which in your case should be in e:\farcry_test; edit _serverSpecificVars.cfm in the config directory of the new site, and change the application name in the Application.cfm of the new site. Then, depending on the site, I'll either copy an existing database, or run the installer from the admin area. HTH Spike I would like a test, one for one customer site and another one for a different customer site.
