I have a CF7 server installed as a stand alone installation. I have installed CF8 on the same box with the built-in web server, and multiserver. My developers want the multiple instances so they can use Subversion, versioning software.

I am trying to understand how I can setup instances and only have to change one setting so that all instances change without having to manually make the change on each instance.

I have archived all of the settings in a J2EE EAR. I setup my first instance and used that EAR. The only files it put in that server folder were the jrun files, no cfusion-ear. When I tried to open the instance website or run the CFAdmin from within the instance it fails. When I install it without using the EAR then the install puts the cfusion-ear in the server folder and the website works and the cfadmin works.

When I use the Web Server Configuration and connect the instance with and IIS website then all I get when I try to bring up the website or CFAdmin from within the Instance is the error that ACL's are failing.

Who can I talk to that would answer my hundred's of questions regarding what I am doing with Instances?

    No problem now. I finally figured out how to make all of this work on 1 box. I have CF7 running along side of CF8. CF7 is using the external web server and CF8 is using multiserver with the built-in web server.

    I have CF7 running as it always has and CF8 running with 10 instances, each with their own web site.

    My problem turned out to be the permissions on the jrun4 folder. As soon as I replicated the ACL's on JRUN4 that I had on CFUSIONMX7 then everything worked.

    I think these permissions must be documented somewhere but I sure couldn't find them.
