DON'T CHANGE THE CORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's no need to anyways... line 9 is what happens when stApps doesn't
do its job.

It Worked!
There was one thing that you missed (which explains why you used a
cookie or session variable if the programmer prefers). The following
core file had to be modified:
STEP 1
============
[/farcry_core/admin/Application.cfm]
Changed the following:
(original)
9: <cfinclude template="/Application.cfm">
(new)
9: <cfinclude template="#cookie.farcryCallPath#/Application.cfm">
-------------
I also made the code a little easier to read by compacting it to one
cfscript.
note: I am not using localhost, rather the NetBIOS name over the
network. But it works either way.
STEP 2
=============
[/app.cfm]
<cfif Trim(GetToken(cgi.PATH_INFO,1,"/")) neq "farcry">
<cfcookie name="farcryCallPath"
value="#Trim(GetToken(cgi.PATH_INFO,1,"/"))#">
</cfif>
<CFSCRIPT>
SWITCH (cookie.farcryCallPath)
{
CASE "base_admin" :{ // Base
stApps = structNew();
stApps['localhost'] = 'base';
break;
}CASE "haresfoot_admin" :{ // haresfoot
stApps = structNew();
stApps['localhost'] = 'haresfoot_admin';
break;
}CASE "issuefm_admin" :{ // issuefm
stApps = structNew();
stApps['localhost'] = 'issuefm';
break;
}DEFAULT :{ // (default)
stApps = structNew();
stApps['localhost'] = 'mxdesign';
break;
}
}
</CFSCRIPT>
Thanks Chris. You should probably write this up as a "How-To: Run
multiple FarCry websites under one domain name (Useful for working on a
development server)" The only problem with it is that you have to
modify that one line in a core file. Maybe there is another way around
it without having to modify a core file. Anyone?
