Question

ColdFusion 8, 2.0.63 and http-2.2.22 Connectors

I have many CF apps running under a single version of apache.  I need to pull them out one by one and upgrade apache for each one.  I am running CF8 want to be able to run 2 different versions of apache, (http-2.0.63 and http-2.2.22).

First is is possible to run CF with 2 different versions of apache?

Second  can I just do something as simple as  edit  files in /data/cf8/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/cfdocs/htmldocs  to add mod_jrun22.so?

Sorry but I'm a CF noob admin.

I haven't used two versions of apache on the same server  myself but in theory I think it should work fine. You will want to run the wsconfig binary (in your case it is probably located at /data/cf8/bin/wsconfig)  to run the web server connector tool and then it will create an entry in /data/cf8/lib/wsconfig/{number} where {number} will probably be 2. The wsconfig binary should also edit the httpd.conf file to add the mod_jrun module config when you run it.  Make sure you backup your lib/wsconfig/ folder first.  You may be able to get this working without running wsconfig if you copy over the httpd.conf settings pertanent to mod_jrun from your first install, but I think apache 2.0.x is going to use mod_jrun20.so and apache 2.2.x is going to use mod_jrun22.so

Hi Peter, thanks for the responce.  Let me try this.  I assume the web server connector tool is a GUI tool?

If you run the tool without options it runs a gui, but you can also run it from the shell, see this doc for reference:
