Hi all,
Just wanted to share a tip for people developing locally on IIS + XP/Win2000
Pro. Thanks to the free IISAdmin tool
(http://www.firstserved.net/services/iisadmin.php) you can get around the one
website limitation of XP Pro and create as many websites as you need(only one
can be run at a time though). One of the cool things about this is that you can
connect Bluedragon plus CF5, 6, 7 to IIS and test your code on IIS using the
different CFML servers without having to use a different port or virtual
directory.
For anyone interested here is the basic steps to setting things up.
- decide which CFML will be your default server connected to IIS
- install CF 5/6/7/BD servers, install the built in web server for each except
for your default CF server which you can let the installer setup for connecting
to IIS.
- install iisadmin and create several default websites that all point to your
wwwroot/ directory.
- now open up your IIS Manager console, refresh your websites folder and you
should now have different websites eg. default, CF5, CF6, CF7, BD, BDJX that
all point to your web root.
- for each for each site, go to Properties -> Home Directory ->
Configuration and change the mapping for cfm,cfml & cfc to point to the
correct adapter for example:
CF6 -> C:\CFusionMX\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun.dll
BD Server -> C:\BlueDragon_Server_62\bin\isapi\BlueDragon_Adapter.dll
Now with the above done, you can run iisadmin, leave it in your task tray and
switch sites whenever you need to check that your code is compatible on
multiple CF servers.
Cheers, Mike G.
