How to install CF8 and CF9 simultaneous

Hi,
I installed Coldfusion 8.01 and Coldfusion 9Beta on Windows 7 as described in http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/node/397935#feedback but I cannot get IIS7 or Apache (2.28) to recognize the installed Aplication server. In IIS 7 I make a website and use the webserver configuration  tool to connect the website to the CF8 application server but when I request a cfm page  get a 500 error (internal server error). Did anyone succeed in doing this or know what the correct procedure is?

    Can you access each CF install directly on their corresponding ports? Can you get to Admin?

    If both CF servers (versions) are running I would suggets you configure them in turns, i.e.

    stop CF9, configure CF8,

    stop CF8, configure CF9

    If the above does NOT help, I suggest you try to investigate what is causing 500 error - look through server logs...

    My instinct tells me ports. If you used port 8500 for CF8.0.1, then you must use some other port, for example, 8501, for CF9. (I am of course assuming single-server installation. Adapt accordingly for multiserver).
