Multihoming

In a multihomed environment, you have multiple virtual hosts (also known as virtual sites) connected to a single ColdFusion server. You might use these virtual hosts for separate applications, such as HR, payroll, and marketing or for separate users in a hosting environment.

Note: You use web-server-specific methods to create separate virtual websites for each use.

Two important multihoming configuration tasks are copying the cfform.js file and disabling the cacheRealPath attribute:

• Copying the cfform.js file If any of the applications under a virtual host use the cfform tag, you must enable the virtual website to find the JavaScript files under the CFIDE/scripts directory. You can either copy the original_web_root/CFIDE/scripts directory to a CFIDE/scripts directory on your virtual website or modify the cfform tags to use the scriptsrc attribute to specify the location of the cfform.js file.
• Disabling cacheRealPath To ensure that ColdFusion MX always returns pages from the correct server, ensure that Cache Web Server Paths is disabled in the Caching page of the ColdFusion MX Administrator (when using the J2EE configuration on JRun, set the cacheRealPath attribute to false for the ProxyService in the jrun.xml file).

The procedures you perform to enable multihoming differ for each web server:

• IIS
• Apache
• Sun ONE Web Server (iPlanet)
