Hi George Every coldfusion instance regardless of if wether its in a cluster or not will have a HTTP port in the 8300 range. eg. 8300 cfusion, 8301 instance1 and 8302 instance2. This is the port for the built in web server thats part of the coldfusion instance's libraries.
when you create a cluster, you need a 3rd party web server like IIS or apache to connect to your CF cluster. In this scenario its actually the web server connector program (wsconfig) that connects to the cluster. I do not beleive you can make the built in web server of a cfusion instance serve up pages in a clustered manner they are hard-wired to serve up cf pages using their own instance. This is my understanding of the situation. I normally have my servers set up so the web server is visible outside the firewall and the the two 8300 range web servers are running on each instance behind the firewall. This set up lets me monitor if one of the two instances has gone down. hth pat On Mar 28, 4:45 pm, Andrew Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > George, > > I am assuming as you really didn't say, and I am no expert at this so I am > guessing. > > When you log into the cfide/administrator you can control the instances and > clustering in there, I assume this is what you are doing and not the jrun > management console! > > When you create a new instance this will run from a different port, when you > cluster I strongly believe that it will share the port for the cluster > (this is the bit I am not sure on). > > The clusters that you are trying to do, are they on the same VPS or machine? > Or are you creating other VPS / servers for this.
