We are running CF 8 Enterprise Edition on a Sun Solaris box and we would like to keep running CF on that box. However, we would like to begin using CF in distributed mode and have setup a Windows 2003 Server running IIS to act as our web server (with the Solaris box acting as our application server).
We are following the instructions laid out in the Adobe WAK Volume 3, which pointed us to http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/administration/cfmx_in_distributed_mode/. We have made it through the instructions and have established our connector between the two boxes. In reaching step 8 (verify that you can run the CF Administrator), we hit a wall. We get a CF file not found error when trying to access the CF Administrator. I am 99% sure that this problem exists because on our Solaris box, the CFIDE folder is not in the web root. Instead, it is buried in the jrun4 directory. Also, in looking to the next step (9), I realize that there is no way that the two boxes can have the exact same physical directory structure, which will be our next hurdle if we can get past not being able to accessing the CF Administrator. Does anyone have any experience setting up CF in distributed mode between a Windows box and a Solaris box? Is it even possible, or do both boxes have to be running the same OS? If it is possible, do you have any pointers for how we can get around the directory structure issues we are encountering? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Server/message.cfm/messageid:6604 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Server/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.10
