Hey all,
so we have installed CF 8 for multi instance. The main instance will show up fine in the browser, but any additional instances will not show up correctly. Either the instance shows a blank white screen, or it gives a page not found.
We are setting up virtual sites in IIS to set the new file locations.

Need help badly with this!!

thanks
Dan

    How have you set up the instances?

    How are you accessing them?

    Have you run the wsconfig tool to connect the IIS virtual sites to the
    desired ColdFusion instance?

    -Yes we already set up the instances via coldfusion admin area.
    -Not sure what you mean accessing them? the main cf area in can access via http://server_name/index.cfm not sure exactly how to access the other sites, thought i did, but guess not.
    -We have used the web config tool to connect the instance with the IIS virtual site.

    all the IIS sites are set to port 80 when you look at them in IIS, this may be an issue, I am not sure?

    process seems simple:
    install cf using multi instance
    create IIS sites for each instance
    in cf admin create the instances
    use web config tool to link the instance with the virtual site in IIS

    this seem about right? we've tried this a few times and it still does not work. at first we had instance name and virtual site names both the same...thought this might be an issue so we changed the instance name to something different, use the web config tool to link them again, and still it does not work.

    This info help at all?
