G'day James,
I'm replying to you separately off-list because my reply will contain
some private records (i.e. my config file for apache) that dont belong

Mike,
I am now at the same point. I have tried to follow this thread, but I know
code, not server configuration. I was wondering if you could email me
(jamesbrojas at cox.net) the steps you took to get multiple versions of
ColdFusion running on the same machine?

One of the requirements to make this work in apache is to use the {VirtualHost}
tags. You would define a specific CF instance to use for each VH. Try making a
copy of your current httpd.conf file and pointing the Web Config Tool at it
instead of the live version. You would then remove the JRun

Thanks, I think. The trouble for me is whenever i come close to this
sort of thing, people use terms i haven't any understanding of.

Thanks Dave. Do you ever get any work done? You spend a LOT of time

I have installed using the multi server options. I can run both

the servers themselves are

To the best of my knowledge, Apache won't let you use two different mod_jrun
connector files. IIS will let you use different connectors for different
virtual servers, but that
Matthew, that is a good description of what I need to do. I have now
got CF8 installed and running, but only by calling

Pretty simple, using apache. Assuming you've installed in multi-server mode,
you would run the Web Server Configuration tool (found in the Macromedia

VMs require significantly more RAM, as each contains its own OS.

I already read this blog entry but my performance issues are only on a
server with both CF7 and CF8 running... on servers with only CF8 it
works fine!
So I don't know if the problem is that we have both CF7 and CF8 running
or not (the server is a virtual machine with few RAM)

Seriously dude, I can get 1GB of Legend lifetime warranty notebook
memory for AUD $30. In fact, I'm about to do this for myself (memory
is so cheap I don't know why my desktop machine doesn't have 4GB).

I would back up or rename your CFIDE directory before any install if
you are using a shared Apache Web server instead of the built-in Web
server (the port 8500 one). Other than this CFIDE folder, CF8 would
naturally go into its own folder when installing. The default folder
name is "ColdFusion8." T
Sorry, I was assuming that you were doing this on a live server. My local
machine here uses the internal server with CF7 on port 8500 and CF8 on port
8501. My comic machine (right next to the dev machine) has CF8 mapped into
the webserver and when I need to use CF 7 I go and change the dll that's

I also tend to run Ubuntu Server on my VMs for development, which are
* considerably* lighter weight than a full blown copy of windows.
(Mind you, I also run a 2.16 Cor 2 duo machine, with 2GB of ram...
so...take a grain of salt)

Excellent news, Michael.that answers the first concern i had.
How do you switch between them?I.e. how does your system determine
that page a has to be processed by CF8 and page b by CF7?

I have both CF7 and CF8 on the same live machine with no problems at all.
I'm using IIS but I'm assuming that Apache will be the same setup.

This machine is pretty skimpy on the RAM. I thought 1GB would be
plenty when i bought it, but i found when i had CF, SQLServer, Apache,
Anti Virus, Outlook, Dreamweaver, and a couple of browsers etc all
going at once it slowed down to a crawl.
Will setting up VMs make that situation worse? (yes
Why not just setup 2 VMs? one with CF7 and one with CF8?
You can even have them share the same codebase with shared folders.

I am at the point where about half my client base is now on CF8, and i
need to upgrade my development PC. I still have a significant base
using CF7 though, so I need to stay in touch with that version.
Are there any 'gotchas' with having CF7 and CF8 present on the same
machine?I kind of had t
