Here mainly because i forget this. If you want to set up a new VirtualHost ,on your Apache Server,on new port i.e. 81 just add this to your HTTPD.conf file

but before you restart the services don't forget to make Apache Listen on that port as well by adding the following under "LISTEN 80"

Without this Apache will not be listening on PORT 81, and you'll be sitting in front of your box wondering what you've missed - you'll realise - then you'll blog about it ;o)

Still not posting much at the minute due to work. But i did get around to sticking CFMX 7 on my new Laptop. All went well - couldnt get the Admin page up but a simple restart of Apache and all went well.

Also you can download the CFMX 7 extensions for DWMX at Macromedia

Well with a new machine in the works for my company i've been thinking about running Apahce (on windows) for our server. Anyway what with mappings etc i really wanted to give this a bash at home first. At first i thought this was gonna mean me, notepad and a bunch of text files had to get friendly. Actually its couldn't of been easier thanks to CF.

• Download and install Apache. I needed to change the port to 81 so it didnt interfere with IIS which meant i changed the "Listen" port to 81 in the httpd.conf file
• Edit C:\CFusionMX\bin\connectors\Apache_connector.bat to look at "apache2" folder instead of "Apache". Then run the bat file.
• Restart Apache and all is well, easy.

Do remember though that they are using the same CF engine. If you have the enterprise version you could most likely set up a different instance for each web server, but i dont so i can't ;o(

Afterthought:If you want to administer CF from Apache then you will need to add the following to the ScriptAlias section of httpd.cong

Replacing "%cfroot%" for the director path to CFIDE folder i.e. c:/coldfusionmx/wwroot/
