Mappings needed: 2 CF mappings - one points to <project>farcry_core/admin - one points to <project><generatedApp>/www
Only one CF Mapping is required.
mapname = "/farcry"
location = "D:\something\whatever\theBaseFarcryFolder (this is the folder where your farcry_core and <project> folders reside).
3 Apache mappings - one points to <project> - one points to <project>farcry_core/admin - one points to <project><generatedApp>/www
Only two mappings in your web server config are required.
1. The site root points to your project's www folder.
2. For the Admin section use any Alias name you want (whether you call it "Farcry", "Admin", whatever you want) and point it to the folder "farcry_core/admin".
Do I need to have the mappings setup before install?
I highly suggest having all three mappings setup before running the installer. There are ways to work around this, but they're not fun.
Are there specific names these mappings should have?
No. Only the ColdFusion mapping called "/farcry" is a required name.
Should I always use farcry_<someproject> to name things, or can I name them whatever I want (for example the DSN)?
Use whatever you like. Daemon uses that in their examples, so I have done the same in mine. But they are just that, examples.
I apologize for being so explicit, but I've read the instructions and these are questions they don't explicitly answer, that I can find.
You are not alone. These questions come up again and again. Please keep in mind that Daemon spends a lot of time writing documentation and tutorials when the time allows it. So some people in the community have made contributions with regards to tutorials and "how-tos" that are not currently referred to on the Farcry website (unfortunately there is no where I know of to post them yet).
I personally use Apache in my development environment and have considered making a tutorial giving examples on how one might wish to set it up. If I have time this month I'll see if I can put something together. In the meantime I hope you have your Farcry webserver up and running and get a chance to use some of its great functionality and features.
