Mappings are considered bad for reactor (and other frameworks), so I
would run each site with its own /reactor folder, this way changes you
make to your main/dev site will not mess up your demo site or
vice-versa. You can keep the same project name for each site as they
will no longer point to the same cfcs, infact you will have to unless
you want to recompile all the reactor cfc's (or do a mass
search/replace) for each deployment of the site. Changing the dsn will
point each version of the site to its own datasource, and there will be
no crossover of data.
Cheers, Chris

Subject: [SPAM] [Reactor for CF] running 2 copies of a site on
same server
Hi,
I've just finished a site using reactor and all is going well so
far. Once again, big thanks to Doug for reactor!
My boss now wants me to put up a copy of the site on the same
server, so we can demo new functionality to clients, and they can use it
for training staff.
The test site will have it's own db, so we can make changes
without damaging the live site's data.
In an ideal world I would put the test site on a separate
server, but unfortunately we don't have the budget for that.
I'll change the dsn in the reactor.xml file, but I'm concerned
that the reactor data mapping will point to the live site. I presume
that a) changes I make to the files won't appear, and b) I write data to
the live database by mistake.
I've thought about using a different mapping for the test site.
Would this create huge differences between the code for live and test
sites?
The other thing I considered was moving the reactor data folder
to the web root (on both live and text), then deleting the mapping in cf
admin. Would this still work, and is it a safer option?
Finally, do I need to change the reactor project value too? I'm
not sure where this is used behind the scenes.
Any advice from people who've experienced a similar situation
would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gareth
