Re: CF8 enterprise, CF8 Standard, CF7 Standard on same computer?
Well, as usual, it's all about fitting this into a tight budget. We are looking to getting a new server and thus could stage Enterprise on that. That would be ideal I think. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312205 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: CF8 enterprise, CF8 Standard, CF7 Standard on same computer?
Ah, ok. So there is a difference in the jrun installed with Standard and the jrun installed with Enterprise. That makes sense.

Re: CF8 enterprise, CF8 Standard, CF7 Standard on same computer?
Features such as load balancing and failover are non-trivial to implement if you are only used to dealing with the simplicity of a basic ColdFusion Standard install. You should make sure that these are needed features before you make this investment. It isn't clear from your responses exactly which features in Enterprise are prompting you to upgrade. Your wrote earlier "We only have one computer" which seems odd if your applications are significant enough to make you concerned about load balancing and failover. Maybe it is time to invest in a staging server or a second production server, which would make it easier to test out the new CF configuration. If you want to go with the J2EE route, you might want to have a copy of "Adobe ColdFusion 8 Web Application Construction Kit, Volume 3" nearby as a supplement to the manuals. The upgrade from CF7 to CF8 is very easy. You should be able to switch from CF7 standard to CF8 standard without changing a single line of code. Getting rid of CF7 would simplify your server setup and the code currently running under CF7 should see an immediate speed boost. -Mike Chabot On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 1:01 PM, Dave Watts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> We have CF8 Standard (and CF7 Standard) on our server with >> live website on each.

No. As Ben mentioned, you would need to install CF 8 Enterprise from scratch to get those features, since they rely on having a full copy of JRun installed in addition to CF.

Re: CF8 enterprise, CF8 Standard, CF7 Standard on same computer?
Yes, you can use different JVM arguments, or a different JVM all together with both of those installs. I can't speak authoritatively about other J2EE servers, but given JRun and Windows, the most common way is modifying the Windows service that starts each instance to provide additional arguments to specify a jvm.config for each instance. The jvm.config file (name is actually arbitrary) also points to with JVM it wishes to use. I'm not clear on your serial number question. I do know that each instance you deploy on your J2EE server has its own serial number. ~Brad - Original Message - From: "Richard Steele" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Monday, September 08, 2008 11:26 AM Subject: Re: CF8 enterprise, CF8 Standard, CF7 Standard on same computer? > Ok, it's starting to get clearer!

Re: CF8 enterprise, CF8 Standard, CF7 Standard on same computer?
The mulitserver install lets you deploy multiple instances of ColdFusion on Macromedia JRun (A J2EE app server) The J2EE install lets you deploy multiple instances of ColdFusion on ANY J2EE app server of your choice. That could be JRun, IBM Webspere, GlassFish, Apache Tomcat, etc. The application isolation, load balancing, and failover are available either way, but each J2EE app server will have slightly different implementations, configurations, and features. I believe Ben was most likely suggesting the multiserver install (JRun). Truthfully, I don't know that anyone is saying one was is better than the other, but I would say that JRun would be the easiest since you aren't relying on support from an outside community, and you'll probably get a lot of crickets if you start asking why your GlassFish install isn't working on the Talk list. :) ~Brad - Original Message - From: "Richard Steele" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Monday, September 08, 2008 11:11 AM Subject: Re: CF8 enterprise, CF8 Standard, CF7 Standard on same computer? > > Ok, I'm now thoroughly confused about this.

The documentation says When you use the J2EE configuration, you can define multiple server instances on a single computer, each running ColdFusion. However it also says about the the alternative multiserver configuration When you install CF using the multiserver configuration, you can use the CF Administrator to define multiple server instances on a single computer, each running CF. So that seems to be saying the same thing. Either will do application isolation, load balancing and failover. What am I missing here and why is one way better than the other?

RE: CF8 enterprise, CF8 Standard, CF7 Standard on same computer?
Yes, you can indeed install CF Enterprise in JE22 server configuration while CF7 and CF8 are installed, but there are some gotchas to consider. The CF service names are different, and the default HTTP ports are different, too. However, installing additional services (like the ODBC services) will likely overwrite the one you have already. And other services, like the integrated LCDS will likely have port conflicts. --- Ben -Original Message- From: Richard Steele [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2008 11:27 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CF8 enterprise, CF8 Standard, CF7 Standard on same computer?

You'll want to reinstall if you want the J2EE installation (the one that will let you have multiple isolated dedicated instances of CF on a single box).

Re: CF8 enterprise, CF8 Standard, CF7 Standard on same computer?
I would think the answer is no, unless you go the Virtual Machine route. If you already have CF8 standard then what you would typically do is to enter the CF8 enterprise serial number to unlock the extra features. No need to run any separate installer or configure anything differently. If CF8 standard is running fine then CF8 enterprise should run fine as well since they are the same program with the same code. -Mike Chabot On Sun, Sep 7, 2008 at 8:45 AM, Richard Steele <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > We want to install CF8 Enterprise and want to do it with minimal disruption > to our CF8 and CF7 Standard websites.
