CF 8 & multi users?

[John Barrett]

I have a question, mostly a simple one:
If I want to have the CF Server to work on the Sites folder(User/sites(localhost/~user) should I install the multi version of CF 8, or would it be just as fine to install the standalone & configre the apache webserver instead of the build in wwwroot? With this option, I could just configure the web users I think, as well as create a mapping??

I ask mainly as I build a site for my girlfriend, that is in CF, and I will be setting up an account for her, and I thought that it would be easy to configure CF to server this purpose.

Thanks so much,
John

As long as you connect CF to apache I think you can install either CF
standard or the multi server version. The key is that you get CF talking to
apache since Apache is setup to serve the users' sites directory. I also
recommend people install the multiple server version so they cannot setup
one CF instance for each of their clients. It makes for a great local
development environment.

Hi Kurt,
Thanks so much for getting back to me.

Last night I installed the standalone, and set up apache instead of  
using the build in web server. I was able to view CF in http://
localhost, as well as http://localhost/~my_username I did not have to  
do any CF mappings either, it was really easy to set up. I figure  
that since this works for my username, which serves from the apache  
file then it should work when I set up a new user. If it does not
(will find out tomorrow), then I can re-install the multi version. I  
love using CF on the Mac`-`

Thanks again,
John
