Hi

Has anyone setup FR v2.0.4 with CF8? We've just upgraded to CF8 and
I'm re-installing FR however during the install process it asks you to
choose between CF6 and CF7 (no CF8 option). Do you just choose CF7?

I'll have a play around but I just thought I'd see if it's supported/
recommended before I waste too much time and find out I need to
upgrade to FR v3.

Cheers
Matthew

Hi Matthew,

FR 2.0.4 added support for CF8 so it should work. Check out these
support tech notes:

http://www.fusion-reactor.com/support/kb/FRS-162.cfm
http://www.fusion-reactor.com/support/kb/FRS-190.cfm

Setup should be supporting CF8. Are you sure that this is the right
installer?

Cheers,
Darren

Hi Matthew,

On Windows FusionReactor Setup examines the registry for suitable
target server which are then displayed in the
'Choose Target Server' panel. For CF8 it looks for the registry key
'CFMXRoot' in hive
"SOFTWARE\\Adobe\\Install Data\\Adobe ColdFusion 8 which contains the
directory in which the CF8 server is installed.

On Unix the file system is searched for the CF8 root directory using
the regular expression
"[cC][oO][lL][dD][fF][uU][sS][iI][oO][nN].*8". If the server has been
installed into a directory which is not matched by this regular
expression the Setup does not find it automatically.

If FusionReactor Setup did not find CF8 you should still be able to
add it manually (using the 'Browse..' button) by choosing the root
directory of the CF8 server (see page 9 of the installation guide). If
this does not work the directory structure of the CF8 server must be
different to the default and you have to manually install FR as
described on page 40 in the installation guide.

Hope that helped
Bernd

@Darren and @Bernd: thanks guys for the help. I went to the FR website
and downloaded the v2.0.4 installer instead of the old v2.0.0
installer which I had on file. Worked a treat. But I had to cheat the
FR website to download it because they don't have a link to "old
versions". So I clicked on the v3 download link, stopped it, and
edited the URL to v2_0_4 and it worked!

Cheers
Matthew
