Today I got the problem that I cannot use following sentence in one of my instance.

view plain print about
1<cftextarea skin="silver" toolbar="Basic" richtext="true" name="body" required="true">

And hit JS error and don't know why. That's why I just go viewsource and found that CFIDE is missing for one of my CF instances. I cannot convince why Adobe cannot include CFIDE for multiple instances installation. That's why I know there is two ways to solve this bug of Coldfusion multiple instance installation.

  • Copy all of CFIDE folder into my project root
  • Create virtual directory for CFIDE and point it to \cfusion.ear\cfusion.war\CFIDE for my current project

As my experience, I don't want to choose the first one. It's because of the images path (probably, JS path and CSS path) will be lost and not secure enough to do it. Another one is which CFIDE will eat some HDD space of my server and there will be duplication for sure. That's why I choose second one and which can solve my problem and I can use all of CF9 features in my instance.
