I wanted to set up CFMX 6.1 to run along side CF5 on a production server,
without disrupting the CF5 sites. CFMX 6.1 will respond to a single
directory on the server and CF5 will respond to everything else. I could
not easily use wsconfig for this because that would knock out the CF5
server temporarily.

Below is what I did. Everything seems to work, but I am wondering if I
missed anything? I do not know of any place that documents what wsconfig
actually does.

1. Install CFMX in stand-alone mode and apply the hotfixes.
2. Copy the /cfusionmx/runtime/lib/wsconfig file to the production server
from a similar server that has previously been set up with CFMX.
3. Change one line in wsconfig.properties to give it the correct server name
4. In jrun.xml, set the JrunProxyService deactivated attribute to false.
5. Set up all the obj.conf and magnus.conf files (for Sun ONE / iPlanet) so
that .cfm and .cfc requests are passed off to CFMX if the files are in a
specific directory.

I compared the stand-alone install to the install on another server that
had been attached to the Web server using wsconfig, and the only difference
I noticed in files under /cfusionmx, was the wsconfig directory and the
activation of the JrunProxyService. Does wsconfig do anything else?

Thank you,
