Installing CF9 beta along side CF8 developer edition

Report · Aug 21, 2009

I am using CF8 developer addition on an XP pro SP3 machine running IIS 5.1. I would like to install the CF9 beta. I know you can run this along side of 8, but how does it do that? Am I able to use IIS still or do I need to use the built in Jrun server? I just dont want to effect my day to day development on 8, but I would like to play with 9. What's the install procedure to do this?

THANKS

I presume the developer edition you have installed is a standard install, not a multi-server? You don't specify.

One can have a standard install and multi-server install cohabitate on the same box no worries. Just install CF9 as multi-server as per a normal multi-server install, and configure it to run on a new site set up in IIS.

I pretty much always run multi-server on a dev machine so I can simply deploy any number of different CF instances I need, at any given point in time. It might be an approach worth considering..?
