Question

Multiple users for local CF server

Hi, I have created several administration pages for our company website to be used for simple CRUD processes. Our company, which is strictly an online wholesaler, has an office network, but no in house server so to speak. We do have a computer that is used for data back up and I guess acts as a central hub for the network. My questions is this. Eventually at least one, maybe two other people will need to perform theses CRUD duties using cfm templates locally. I downloaded CF 9 on the "hub" pc thinking that other pc's in the office could connect to it and use cfm pages to work from. I know with CF9, it says that two other IP addresses can work from the same CF server, but am unsure how to set all this up. Or maybe this is not the best approach to this issue. I just know I wouldn't want to be doing updates and deletes right on the live remote server we will eventually be utilizing. Please, can someone advise me on the best solution to this question. Thanks for any help in advance!

    You don't configure the two IP addresses. It simply claims the first two IP addresses that hit the server, and that is what you get. If you want to

    use a different IP address, reboot the server (or restart the CF server service), and the first two IP addresses will be allowed.

    It is not meant for production. It is meant for testing, in which case hitting the server from multiple IP addresses is seldom an issue.

    Thanks for the infotclaremont. I understand what you are saying. This is a testing environment, but data entry should be left to local files and backups, other wise you runt he risk of bad data going live, correct? Having said that, again, I just need a way for one or two more people to be able to perform database entries using cf templates locally, then those will be backed up to our remote server running CF enterprise. Can you offer some suggestions to point me in the right direction?

    Make ABSOLUTELY sure that those "one or two" people are the first people to connect to the server after a ColdFusion startup.

    But, I'm suspect you are really not going to like this limitation for the long run..
