RE: Multiple Instances of CF Server 4.5.1?
No, no one has done this, because I don't think it can be done. You can have as many virtual web servers as you like on a single machine, but they'll all be serviced by a single CF server. Actually you can do this with VMWare, it allows you to bind multiple IP addresses across different Virtual Machines (on one server), so if for instance you had a DHCP server assigning addresses, you would have one IP address per VM. And so since you have multiple OS's running you can have multiple CF servers running on one machine. When using VMware, you end up with multiple virtual machines. Within any of these machines, you can only run one copy of CF. In any case, I don't think you'd want to host web content on VMware, for performance reasons. I use VMware quite a bit (right now, I've got three VMs on my Windows 2000 laptop, and they can all talk to each other over IP, which is kind of amazing), but you end up with multiple OSs, obviously, and serious constraints with regard to memory and general performance issues. In any case, it's not available for Solaris, I don't think.

Multiple Instances of CF Server 4.5.1?
Can you install two instances of CF Server on the same UNIX machine? I want to move our Development environment from machine A to machine B which is also where our Staging/Testing environment lives so that I can install CF Server 5 on machine A. This means I need two instances on the same machine, one for each web site environment so that INCLUDE mappings work correctly for absolute paths as files are moved from environment to environment.

No - but you should be able to set up multiple mappings.

Re: Multiple Instances of CF Server 4.5.1?
What is VMWare? Using multiple mappings doesn't work. There can be only one web root /. This means the other web server has to change paths for every INCLUDE.

VMWare.com - allows you to run multiple OS's on the same machine concurrently But it sounds like an architecture issue - you didn't use hard-code absolute paths, did you? naughty, naughty :-) You should be able to run multiple virtual web servers though - like someserver1.something.tld is mapped to one directory (say, /usr/html/someserver1) and someserver2.something.tld is mapped to a different directory (/usr/html/someserver2) - look at your web server docs Or set up a CF mapping (look in CF administrator) - Original Message - From: Bruce Holm [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 5:13 PM Subject: Re: Multiple Instances of CF Server 4.5.1?

This is a common issue, when using a single machine to host multiple virtual web servers with CF content, and one common workaround is to use variables to specify the file path, rather than hard-coding path information in your CFINCLUDEs. For example, you might have something like this in your Application.cfm for a given application: cfset basepath = /stagingapp Let's assume that your web root directory looks like this: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/ /stagingapp/ /devapp/ and that you've mapped / to /usr/local/apache/htdocs/ in the CF Administrator. In this case, you could simply change the variable that you've set in Application.cfm to migrate the application from one directory to another.
