Re: Upgrading to Coldfusion 8
Rick, You may find this blog posting by Mike Henke helpful: http://www.henke.ws/post.cfm/multiple-coldfusion-version-and-engines-on-adobe-coldfusion-with-jrun List, Can I install Coldfusion 9 multi-server on a server already running Coldfusion 8 multi-server? I'd like to get it installed, get all the instances set up and configured BEFORE taking the site down reconfigure the web server connections... but I'm not sure if this is possible. I have googled and found instructions for installing both, but it requires installing the new version FIRST (CF9) and then installing CF8 in J2EE mode, and that doesn't really work for this kind of upgrade Rick ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:336570 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

RE: Upgrading to Coldfusion 8
Rick, I've not done this for multi-server but I just did it for stand-alone so I suspect it's possible. In installed using the internal web server so I could configure the server using car files and manual settings. So I had both of them running. Then I changed the JVM file for CF9 to the prod settings, removed the apache connectors for cf 8 and installed the ones for CF 9. That worked well. With multiserver I suspect you will have to be careful with the ports and port conflicts - and I would sort of hesitate to do this on a live server without a test bed to proof the procedure. -mark Mark A.

Re: Upgrading to Coldfusion 8
It's fairly easy to do. * Choose multi-server EAR/WAR during the CF install. Choose the EAR specifically. * Create a new folder in jrunhome/servers/yournamefolder. * Expand the EAR/WAR into folders. Use the CF8 folders as an example. cfusion-ear will have a cfusion-war folder and a META-INF folder. cfusion-war will have CFIDE and WEB-INF. There also appears to be a crossdomain.xml in my cfusion-war folder for CF9. * COPY the application.xml from the working CF8 cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/META-INF folder into the new folder cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/META-INF. The application.xml created by the install will NOT work with JRun. Go figure. * Load up the JRun admin at port 8000. I have this service set to manual, but it may already be on. The username is admin, password is the password from when you first installed CF8. It can be found (unencrypted) in jrunhome/servers/admin/SERVER-INF/jrun-users.xml. * You should see a link to create a new instance. Go for it. * Name the instance the yourfoldername. It will automagically pic up the EAR/WAR you exploded into that folder * Create a service for it with jrunhome/bin/jrunsvc -install yourfoldername yourfoldername Macromedia JRun whatever Macromedia JRun whatever * profit Now, I'm not sure you're going to get SOLR along with this, but I'm fairly sure you can find that separate somewhere in the install folders. Some optional steps include downloading an updated JRE. You could also create a separate jvm.config and specify that during jrunsvc -install.
