Question

Is it possible to run multiple instances of an application on the same server?

I'm in IT and we have a CF application running on CF10 and MS SQL on a single server. 

I was asked if it's possible to run two instances of the same application with the second instance connected to a different db

Apparently they want to use one instance for the US and a second instance for Canada.  Entirely separate businesses.

Thanks!

    Yes, we can have multipule instance in coldfusion 10 please go though link

    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf363c31-7ff4.html

    We can connect them to different db

    Please follow these step for creating multipule server instance

    1. In the ColdFusion Administrator, go to Enterprise Manager > Instance Manager.
    2. Click Add New Instance.
    3. Enter the server name and server directory.
    4. (Optional) Check Create Windows Service.
    5. Click Submit.In the Instance Manager, start, stop, restart, delete, access website, or access administrator.
    6. Click the Edit icon to edit the instance manager.
    7. Edit the internal webserver port and load balancing factor.Load balancing factor represents the load the instance takes up. Load balancing factor is applicable only if the instance is part of the cluster.For example, the load balancing factor for the first instance is 1 and that of the second instance is 2. The second instance receives two times more requests.
    8. Click Submit.

    Thanks for the info, I will check it out when I get into the office Monday... quick question though, you  mention Enterprise Manager.  We are running CF10 Standard.  Does this require the enterprise version?

    Hi,

    Yes, you can have multiple instances on the same server, running on different ports.

    Holy cow!!  It's $7K to upgrade from Standard to Enterprise!!  I think it would make more sense just to buy another Standard license and set up a 2nd server.  Thanks for all of the help.
