individual virtual hosts. See section 3.7 for additional information on configuring web

server adapters.

Yet another solution is to configure the web server to identify different virtual directories

to serve CFML out of a single physical directory but directed against either of multiple

CFML servers installed on the machine. For more information, see the article, “Setting

Up Your Development Server with ColdFusion 5, MX, and BlueDragon”, in the

September 2003 edition of ColdFusion Developers Journal, which is available online at

http://cfdj.sys-con.com/read/42069.htm.

You can also avoid this problem by using BlueDragon’s built-in web server for page

processing, or you can install a new web server for integration with BlueDragon.

Of course, there is no conflict installing BlueDragon if you have installed ColdFusion

MX using its built-in web server or a servlet/JSP engine that uses its own web server.

3.3 Upgrading and Installing Multiple Versions of

BlueDragon

It is possible to install multiple versions of BlueDragon, including different editions

(Server and Server JX) at once, as well as multiple copies of different releases of the

same edition (Server 6.1 and Server 6.2.1, for instance). Be aware of some issues

regarding preserving settings from one installation of BlueDragon when installing

another (as well as when uninstalling BlueDragon). This is covered in more detail in

sections 8 and 9.

3.4 Support for MySQL

All editions of BlueDragon (except the free Server edition on Windows) show an

available MySQL Driver in the list of choices of drivers offered in the administration

console when adding a datasource (discussed further in section 6.3). Additionally, all

editions deployed on Windows support the ODBC Driver available from MySQL.

Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions we can not provide the driver automatically

with the download of BlueDragon. Instead, you must download and install the driver

(JDC or ODBC), and configure BlueDragon to recognize that driver.
