We'll have our own domain name, and a web site at d:\de3\sites\oursite\www\
Currently there's nothing in there but default.html and folders for webmail and stats. The domain name will point to ...\oursite\www\ and I also have access to one level higher, i.e. ....\oursite\ so I can create folders there too if I want, but they're not accessible from the web. This is a pretty standard setup for shared hosting as far as I know. I can set up any databases with any DNSs I want, because the sysadmin has been good enough to grant me access to the cfAdministrator. <g> So ... would I be correct in doing the following (this is adapting Neil Robertson-Rabo's instructions a few days ago): 1. Create my blank database, called oursite000135 (name is set by the database creation scripts) 2. Create the DSN oursite in the administrator 3. Create a folder "applications" under the \www folder and extract the file downloads into there. (well actually I'll be extracting it on my dev server then FTP'ing it up to the server from there). ... or would it be better to put the farcry stuff at d:\de3\sites\oursite\ applications\farcry_core\admin - i.e. outside the current \www space 4. Add a coldfusion mapping: Logical path: /farcry (Does it have to be "farcry"? can it be oursite_farcry without a LOT of adapting of the code?) Physical path: d:\de3\sites\oursite\www\applications\ 5. Request SYSADMIN to set up a virtual directory in IIS called "Farcry" pointing to d:\de3\sites\oursite\www\applications\farcry_core\admin 6. Request SYSADMIN to set up a virtual directory in IIS called "Farcry_oursite" pointing to d:\de3\sites\oursite\www\applications\farcry_oursite\www Will that do it, do you think? In which case, if that's what it'll take, you can pretty well count AFPWebworks as offering farcry hosting too. If we get this site up and going as a farcry site, we'll add it to our product offering on our new web server when it comes on line in a couple of weeks.

If so, it should be fairly easy. He can install it according to the documentation. Set up a webroot in the webserver that points to %yourapp%/www. Set up a "farcry" virtual directory off your webroot that points to farcry_core/admin. Set up the apps.cfm to match your domain. That's the basics of it. Doing those things in different webservers will be part of the catch.
