Ajas-
I read this as well as the other emails you sent directly. It does sound
like you are generally heading in the right direction with the
configuration but I haven't done any Distributed Mode instals in several CF
versions so it's hard for me to give more specific advice. The only thing
that does smell a little fishy to me is that you say you had to instal CF11
on both the Web/IIS server and the CF Server. This doesn't sound right to
me. You probably really only need that wsconfig tool on the IIS server but
again I haven't done that config in awhile.
I am curious to know what your motivation is in setting up this
configuration? The web connector for CF has had a lot of issues lately and
I really very strongly suggest taking a look at something like NGINX to
front the site instead of IIS if you are trying to do something truly
distributed. With the web connector you're going to have potential issues
each time you upgrade or patch CF. Usually you have to rebuilt the
connector and jump through some really poorly documented hoops and this
adds up to lots of added friction and wasted time in your deployment
process.
Distributed mode filled a gap once where there were not lots of other
alternatives out there but now there are. NGINX, Apache Traffic Server,
Squid, Varnish... These options are effectively the same thing as
distributes mode but are better supported - and they gives you tons of
power for load balancing and the like.
Here are the most frequent reasons people use distributed mode. Which is
your reason?
1) Security (IIS outside firewall, CF inside)
2) Load Balancing
3) Failover
4) Is sounded cool at the time
5) Boss made me do it

Hi Cameron,
I am looking for generation information to how to set it up. So CF is on
one server1, and code base is lets say on IIS server2 inetpub root. I would
create a site abc on IIS server2 which looks for code in inetpub root. Now
the main part, if I run web server config tool from CF server1 that creates
the IIS connectors, how do you make it refer to site on different IIS
server2?
By the way, we have always done CF Server install (not the J2EE) in our
environment.
Also, this would be setup in QA initially and has to definitely work in a
load balanced environment. So if there are any issues, then I would like to
know now rather than later.
Any pointers or help is appreciated.
Thanks,

We cannot become what we need to be, remaining what we are.
No matter what, find a way. Because thats what winners do.
You can't improve what you don't measure.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention,
sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents
the wise choice of many alternatives.

This is called distributed mode. I haven't done this since the JRun
days and this configuration seems far less common now than it use to be.
More frequently today I seem to see something like NGINX configured in
proxy mode in front of CF instead, cutting IIS/Apache from the picture
entirely.
Are you just looking for general information on how to set it up or have
specific questions?

Hi,
I am trying to find if anyone has implemented this setup wherein CF is
installed on a different windows server and IIS on different windows
server?
Any ideas?
