Question

Local Multi Instance CF Server - How can others connect?

Apologies for asking a question that's in documentation somewhere.  I'm unable to find it at this point and if you could point me in the right direction I would be much obliged.

My Setup:

-Mac 10.6.4

-CF 9 Multi Server Instance

-MAMP

I have a static IP assigned to my machine.  User's can connect to it and they get the home directory with the CFIDE/Administrator.. link that leads to the main coldfusion administrator panel.  However, I can't seem to figure out how I can get them to point to a specific CF instance I have running.

    Different ports.

    For example on my windows box.


    www.xxx.yyy.zzz:80 points to the default cfusion instace.

    www.xxx.yyy.zzz:8301 points to my first instance.

    www.xxx.yyy.zzz:8302 points to my second instance.

    Then for the web sites I use host headers.

    www.xxx.yyy.zzz:80:information-technology points to one of the web sites

    www.xxx.yyy.zzz:80:enforcement points to another of the web sites.

    My instance is located on

         http://10.250.250.56:8301

    and I can reach the administrator at

         http://10.250.250.56:8301/CFIDE/administrator/

    I believe host headers are an IIS thing.  In apache I have a virtual host set up on port 80

    ServerName foo

    ServerAlias foo.localhost

    http://foo.10.250.250.56 and http://10.250.250.56:foo do not work.  since this is on port 80 I didn't think I would need to specify it but I did anyways and still no success.

    Well IIS Host Headers and Apache Server Aliases are the same functionality.

    You use them in the domain name, not the IP address:port form of URL.

    I.E.

    For my previous examples the domain names would be:

    information-technology.inside.cdpr.ca.gov

    enforcement.inside.cdpr.ca.gov

    Where inside.cdpr.ca.gov is the domain name that resolves to the IP address www.xxx.yyy.zzz from my previous example.
