I decided this was suitable for my current needs. I wouldn't be able to run them at the same time unless I gave them different web server ports, but I would be able to do testing against different versions of ColdFusion. I decided that I could use the same Apache installation with completely different configurations, one pointed at CF10 and one pointed at CF11. Unfortunately, only one JkShmFile directive can be in an Apache Web Server config making it impossible to point different virtual servers in the same Apache instance to different versions of ColdFusion. In Apache, the JkShmFile directive is used to associate Apache with Tomcat servlet container. Unfortunately that is not possible.ĬoldFusion 10 and 11 both use Tomcat under the hood a change since they have been using JRUN since CFMX when I wrote my initial article. I was hoping that I would be able to make use of virtual servers, attach CF10 to some virtual servers, and CF11 to others. Then you can compare the two configurations to see what has changed.

Create a copy of your Apache Web Server conf directory and have the CF11 installer configure that copy. ColdFusion 10 Enhancements and Improvements Ben Forta.

However, I decided to install CF11 in the server configuration mode similar to how CF10 was previously installed.ĭuring the install, you are given the option to configure your web server. You could install the EAR/WAR version of CF11 and deploy that using the CF10 instance manager. My first step was to download the ColdFusion 11 Developer Edition from the Adobe web site and follow the normal install instructions. I already have CF10 installed on my machine, but need CF11. This article details how I set up my machine. It'd be nice to be able to run both versions of ColdFusion side by side. I currently do work on sites that use both ColdFusion 10 and ColdFusion 11. The need from the original article still exists. ColdFusion has increased multiple version numbers.
ADOBE COLDFUSION 11 DEMO UPGRADE
We recommend users to upgrade their versions of ColdFusion to the latest updates.

ADOBE COLDFUSION 11 DEMO UPDATE
NOTE: ColdFusion 11 Update 16 and ColdFusion (2016 release) Update 8 are no longer available for download. For more information, see ColdFusion containers. Nowdays I primarily use Apache Web Server for development purposes instead of IIS. Update (): We have also updated the Docker image for the latest ColdFusion (2016 release) update. My intent was to write code once, and be able to test it on different application servers. This was an article I co-wrote with my friend Charlie Arehart and it was published back in 2003. One of the first articles I wrote for the ColdFusion Developer's Journal was about setting up IIS to run on ColdFusion 5, ColdFusion MX, and BlueDragon.
