Question

Multiple instances on one CF installation?

Hi

On my old Windows laptop I used to install Coldfusion on top of IIS and simply create multiple web sites, then develop and access them in the browser via

http://siteA.localhost/

http://siteB.localhost/

http://siteC.localhost/

etc.

Now I'm on a new Mac and want to install CF 10. From the docs it sounds like there's only a single server install and then you create different server instances from within the CF Admin... is that correct? I'd like to continue developing and accessing my sites in the same manner as I did on my old Windows laptop (siteA.localhost, siteB.localhost, etc.) Also, since I work alot with Mura by creating separate server instances I could then deploy each Mura into each site's instance using only one Mura installation per site.

Am I close? Can anyone direct me on where I can find the docs to do the install to ultimately achieve siteA... siteB... siteC... ?

Thanks in advance,

Rich

    Here is a link to the docs discussing multiple CF instances: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf363c31-7ff4.html

    Here is a link to the docs discussing CF application isolation (I think that is what you are referring to): http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf364104-7fc4.html

    Thanks. I actually achieved what I was after, sort of. I simply set up each new CF instance on a different port, which is serving the same purpose, but it's not quite the subdomain solution that I was after. Know any beginner Tomcat resources for CF developers? I'm sure the answer is in Tomcat but I'm not familiar with that server at all....

    Thanks again,

    Rich

    Glad you got it working Richard.  I'm afraid I am also a noob with Tomcat.  Perhaps someone else out there could share a good Tomcat resource especially as it pertains to ColdFusion.  Anyone?
