Install ColdFusion 11 on same server as older versions

I know its possible to install multiple versions of CF on the same server.

However, is it possible to have multiple versions using IIS instead of the built-in CF web server?  If so, how do I set this up?

Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Anit.  That sounds fine.....I wouldn't want to mix CF8 and CF11 on the same site.  How do I set up connectors on a per-site basis?


    Say you have three sites in IIS viz, Site1, Site2 and Site3. Try the following as an example:-

    1. Navigate to \ColdFusion11\cfusion\runtime\bin\ and launch wsconfig.exe. Select Site1 from the drop down list of IIS websites. Click OK
    2. Similarly, you can navigate to\ColdFusion8\runtime\bin\ and launch wsconfig.exe. Select Site2 from the drop down list of IIS websites. Click OK
    3. Navigate to \ColdFusion11\cfusion\runtime\bin\ and launch wsconfig.exe. Select Site3 from the drop down list of IIS websites. Click OK

    So now, you have Site1 and Site3 configured with ColdFusion 11 and Site2 configured with ColdFusion 8.

    Hope this helps

    Vikram,

    I have since read a little more, and determined that using wsconfig is removing the "..\wsconfig\#" folder (# = 1, 2, etc.).  However, after verifying that the number folder is being removed, rebooting the server, recreating the connector, and restarting the service, I still get the double opening screen.

    Hi lunadesign,

    I am not clear, by "multiple versions". If you are referring to running multiple websites in IIS, they can run on different ports like 80, 81, 82 and likewise. If you are referring to different versions of ColdFusion with different websites in IIS,  they can also run on different ports with different versions of CF.

    In case I missed something, please elaborate.

    Sorry....I should have been more clear.

    I'd like to run CF 8 and CF 11 on the same server with some IIS sites using CF 8 and others using CF 11.  It sounds like this is possible, but how?

    You can create individual connectors to individual websites in IIS. The connectors can be from CF8 or CF11. The only thing needs to be considered is, same website should not be configured with CF8 and CF11. One site with only version of ColdFusion.
