I need to install cf11 on the same windows 2008 server as an existing cf8 install.

I realise it would be better to have 2 servers but in this case thats not an option open to us so I need specific help with the 2 installs.

The current CF8 is using IIS7.

I have done a bit of spade work and I believe the best way to do this cleanly would be to install a 2nd web server, e.g apache on windows and then configure it with CF11.

I had hoped that I could actually install CF11 and just configure specific iis sites with it, hoping this would leave the cf8 configured sites intact.

Any help would be appreciated.

    What's stopping you from running both on IIS? It might be an idea to raise a question to serverfault.com along the lines of "getting CF8 and CF11 to both work through same IIS" or something (and provide full situation, troubleshooting already done, error messages, etc. – Adam Cameron Jun 25 '14 at 10:32
  • Well, There may or may not be anything stopping me running both with IIS but that's sort of what im asking, I haven't physically tried it yet but I get a suspicion it may not be that straight forward and would prefer to check before I mess my server. I suppose a better way of wording this would be. "Can one run CF8 and CF11 on the same server and same IIS?" – Advance Software Jun 25 '14 at 10:53
  • You don't have any other PC lying around you can test this with? That's what I'd be doing (NB: not saying it's not a good question, but perhaps one that should be pretty easy to ask one's self. I've got both running on the same machine, but only on dev web server, sorry). – Adam Cameron Jun 25 '14 at 12:33
  • Thanks Adam, I suppose if this forum didn't exist then I would have had to test it myself with a spare machine but I guess that's why we ask others opinions who may have the answer already, thanks for your help. – Advance Software Jun 26 '14 at 09:57

Yes, you can run multiple sites under IIS on the same server, with different versions of ColdFusion. Every connector you create, should be with individual sites and not with "ALL" websites. Different versions of ColdFusion connected with different sites under the same IIS on the same server will not conflict with each other.
