I setup a new FC site as a named virtual host running with the OS X built-in apache and cfmx.
This assumes you've got the apache connector successfully installed.
Hope sombody finds it useful.
== Setting up a Farcry Virtual Host on Apache + JRun for OS X ==
1) Create a dir /vhosts/farcry_applications
2) Unzip farcry download (core, fourq and aura) into farcry_applications
3) Create a new DB and datasource for your farcry app
4) Create a JRun mapping for /farcry to /vhosts/farcry_applications (i.e. add the following to coldfusion's jrun-web.xml):
<!-- Farcry mapping -->
<virtual-mapping>
<resource-path>/farcry</resource-path>
<system-path>/vhosts/farcry_applications</system-path>
</virtual-mapping>(This file can usually be found in /Applications/JRun4/servers/<servername>/cfusion/WEB-INF/jrun-web.xml)
5) Enable named virtual hosting in Apache (/etc/httpd/httpd.conf) - Uncomment NameVirtualHost *:80
5a) Add index.cfm to your DirectoryIndex directive
6) Create a virtual host in /private/etc/httpd/users/YOURUSERNAME/httpd.conf which has a /farcry alias pointing to farcry_core/admin
- e.g.
<VirtualHost *>
Servername farcry-demo
DocumentRoot /vhosts/farcry_applications/farcrydemo
Alias /farcry /vhosts/farcry_applications/farcry_core/admin
</VirtualHost>
7) Add an /etc/hosts entry for the virtual host
8) Restart Apache (sys prefs -> sharing -> web sharing -> stop & stop)
8) Run http://farcry-demo/farcry/install (site name: farcrydemo)
9) Select view-site
10) Login to farcry:
http://farcry-demo/farcry
Username: farcry
Password: farcryPost tasks
- Delete farcry user:
- Delete farcry_core/admin/install
- Customize site files found (in /vhosts/farcry_applications/farcrydemo/)
