I am an experienced Coldfusion programmer new to FarCry. I am having some trouble 
installing FarCry on Linux for Apache.

Q: When I try to view my new "application" (Farcry site) I get a directory listing 
with: config, customadmin, includeObj, packages, system, webskin, www.
I gather this means that somewhere I should have appended /www when I entered my site 
directory. How do I fix this now?

Q: When I click on that /www I get a very plain page with links for 'home' and 
'support', neither of which works. Isn't this supposed to start with a sample site 
using the "aura" look and feel (whatever that is)?

Q: I am migrating a static HTML site into FarCry. The site is currently live, so I 
must work on a test copy of it. When I am done, how do I change the name of the site 
to the live site to make it live? It seems the site name is embedded in places once I 
run the FarCry install.

Q: I have many non-FarCry sites also hosted on this Apache server. I'd like to keep my 
main web root (/var/www/html) clean. Can I move farcry_core/, farcry_aura/, fourq/, 
and apps.cfm into a subdirectory /farcry/ or do they have to be at the same level as 
the site directory?

Comment: The install docs are inadequate. They don't explain the meaning of 
"application mapping", "farcry mapping", etc, etc. They also assume you are installing 
on a local server. My server is rackmounted in a co-location center. There is no 
monitor, I cannot open a browser in it and run 'localhost/farcry/install'. I had to 
dig around and find the code that restricts the install to 127.0.0.1 and add my IP 
address to do a remote install. This should be documented. 
Once I get it working I will be happy to write up my experience installing FarCry on 
Linux/Apache with virtual hosting multiple sites.
