that all user groups ... that I have ten days to do it.
This is something we looked at doing in Spectra days for CFUG. I think it's a worthy cause and we'd be more than happy to help however we can. Your ten day timeframe is easy to make.
If you need a server to host on.. we'd be happy to host the prototype on our server here. That way you can just play with the content -- rather than worrying about the code in the short term.
Have a look at http://www.cfug.org.au/ -- something we're working on in our spare time.
So, what do I do? Where do I install FarCry? At C:\inetpub\wwwroot? C:\inetpub\wwwroot\farcry?
I am hoping I can get an answer from you soon. Also, if this does go well, I will probably be doing a review of FarCry for the ColdFusion Developer's Journal.
Well the easiest way would be to set up multiple local domains on your server. But that doesn't sound like an option... never fear. You can easily run farcry next to your other apps without impacting them at all. The suggested directories are just that, suggestions.
For your set-up it sounds like you should extract the install files to: c:\farcry
(note: this could go anywhere.. we just make this suggestion cos it makes it easy to clean everything up if you want to get rid of farcry at some point)
Follow the install guide, bearing in mind the following notes.
Put in web virtual to FarCry admin: /farcry -> c:\farcry\farcry_core\admin
Run the installer at: http://localhost/farcry/install/
Make sure the "Application Mapping" points to the IIS web virtual mapping for your app (at this point not created):
eg. "/myappname"
You'll end up with: c:\farcry\farcry_core [common code library] c:\farcry\farcry_aura [skeleton site for sample app] c:\farcry\fourq [database layer] c:\farcry\yourappname
Now create a web virtual pointing to: /yourappname -> c:\farcry\yourappname\www
You'll need to change the apps.cfm file to reflect the location of your installation. You'll find this file here:
c:\farcry\apps.cfm
And it should have the entry changed to (: stApps['localhost'] = 'yourappname';
Any trouble at all send us a note to this list!
