OK. (And to be clear, the offer of consulting help was secondary. My focus was to give you the info you needed to try on your own if you still wanted to.)
So about installing multiple instances, if you mean you have CF9 installed now, the “normal way” (called “Server” mode, but some call it “Standalone”), you CAN install ALSO on the SAME machine/OS the version of CF that supports multiple instances, called “Multiserver” mode. When you run the installer, CF will detect if you already have one and offer you the option to install the other. With CF10 instead, there is no longer such a distinction (offered during the installer). There is only one the “server” mode (and all releases since CF6 have also offered a JEE mode). But with the CF10 “server” mode of install, you can then add new instances, using the “Enterprise Manager” offered in the Admin, if you are running the Enterprise, Trial, or Developer edition (not the Standard edition). As for your point 2, again the challenge with IIS is if you try to have both CF9 and CF10 connected to IIS at once. That will be challenging for the reasons I outlined before. /charlie From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Davis Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 10:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [houcfug] Multiple versions of CF on same machine hey Charlie, Thank you for all your help and the offer of your help as a consultant. It may come to that, but not sure my boss will agree to that yet. This is supposed to be a temporary gig. Helping out another team within our same company that recently lost a couple developers. I am not even sure how long this "shared" setup would last, so I am not interested in VMs of any kind (at least at this point) There are two possible solutions. 1. Run the other team's code on my existing CF10 setup. Not ideal, but as long as someone with only CF9 tests my changes, I don't see a big issue. My local setup is currently single instance, which I would need to change to a multi-instance to sandbox these different apps. I have never had to switch from a single instance to a multi-instance. Is that a case on uninstall and fresh re-install or is there an upgrade process? 2. Install CF9 multi-instance and Java 1.6 alongside my existing setup. IIS is the main bottleneck here as each of the sites needs to run on its own port or specifically named site. I may be over-simplifying this, but those are the options. Now, to figure out which will work. Thanks to all, Mark -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Houston ColdFusion Users' Group" discussion list.
