ALMOST 100% correct.

Your directories - perfect.

FarCry can be installed anywhere though as long as your mappings all point
to the righ place (so what you have in Inetpub/Applications could equally
have been put in C:\FarCry - for example).


Your apps.cfm - perfect.

Each entry in apps.cfm tells the FarCry admin code which directory is
associated with which domain.


Your /farcry mapping - perfect.

This is the path you access off your root host address (e.g.
http://%yourhost%/farcry) to run the admin code.


Your application mappings - perfect.

This is not really "FarCry" as such - but is how the webserver maps an
address to a file system location.  For anyone not using IIS there is
similar functionality on most other web servers.


The ADMIN stuff.....

Basically, your ADMIN runs off each of your domains:

www.site1.com/farcry
www.site2.com/farcry
www.site3.com/farcry

You don't need to create any virtual mappings for Admin (other than the CF
Mapping for /farcry).

That is where apps.cfm comes in.  The ADMIN code looks at apps.cfm to see
what the domain is and then maps the domain to a FarCry instance directory.
>From that point onwards, the ADMIN stuff works with that instance of FarCry.
