You should be able to separate the site from the core, but may have a
problem doing so; your could probably tweak the code to make things work.
Have a look in your site at config/_serverSpecificVar.cfm. This is where
the communication b/t core and site get set up. The question is: can you
assume that the the appropriate variables have been used throughout the
entire core?
Separating the Core (farcry_core)
The infers that farcry_core must be in a subdirectory under the CF mapping
/farcry. The case is the same in the fourQ code: it often references
farcry.fourQ. So the core and fourq must live under /farcry
Separating the Website (farcry_website)
If you start separating the install from the core, you need to investigate
how they are tied together. They will be coupled via the webskin (directory
paths) as well as at the component level (the custompackagepath).
Webskins
All types are rendered via the webskin, whose contents are normally located
in /farcry/farcry_website/webskin. The core references this via
#application.path.webskin#. This is set to
application.path.webskin = application.path.project & "/webskin";
So it looks like this would probably work.
Custom Components
If you build your own types (components) (or extend existing ones), then you
will have to deal with how components cross back to access the core usually,
this is done via extends="farcry.farcry_core.packages.types.types". But
also keep in mind that the farcry_core needs to be able to find and
enumerate your custom components.
Conclusion
It should work. However, I have multiple sites running (10+) in the default
configuration, and have no reason to deviate from that. Never change a
running system. Do you have a very compelling reason for modifying the
intended installation? What if that becomes a constraint in the future?
Note to Daemon--fourQ is great for standalone (non-FC) projects. Is there
any way of eliminating the need for the /farcry mapping, so that I can place
it in any directory I want (e.g. components).

Hi,
first of all: Thanks for the latest replies. This list is pleasing fast...
Now one more question: We'll setting up a new webserver and discussing how
to set up folders, partions etc.. I wondered if it's possible (and
advisable) to install farcry websites in another directory than the one
where the core lives? I assume I can use the "install only DB" feature for a
task like this, but I tried so and failed ().
Any ideas?
Sebastian
