Andrea, The easiest to move from ACF for me was to use the VivoTech installer. This will set up a single monolithic install of the OBD engine for all the virtual host sites ... very similar to the way ACF does it.
The other way, which you may want to explore after getting the VivoTech installation, is to set up a java application for each site. This gives a bit more robustness, as one site has very slim chance to take down a different site as they are technically running on different instances of the OBD server, but adds a level of complexity to the set up and administration of the system as all the settings could potentially be different from site to site. The VivoTech installer can be found: http://openbd.viviotech.net One note, That installer comes with a helper application that is supposed to automatically setup the java context as you deploy virtualHosts. It is the last thing the installer sets up. On everyone of my runs of the installer, it errors at that point. For me that's no big deal because I set up the context for each site manually. If you get the error there, and have no worries setting up the java server context then you can safely ignore that error. For reference, to manually set up the java context, you simply edit the server.xml file located in [install Dir]/openbd/tomcat/conf/ and add something like the following at the end of the file right before the </Engine> line for each site you are deploying: <Host name="www.domain.com" appBase="/www/sites/domain.com" deployOnStartup="true" autoDeploy="false" deployIgnore=".*"> <Alias>domain.com</Alias> <Context path="" docBase="/www/sites/domain.com/" useHttpOnly="true" allowLinking="true" /> </Host> Hope that helps.
