- FarCry runs on Adobe ColdFusion, New Atlanta Bluedragon, and Railo, incorporating a range of ColdFusion application servers, from commercial options, to those that are free for community use.
- FarCry supports Linux, Solaris, Windows, and OSX (basically anything you can get a ColdFusion server running on).
- FarCry works with mySQL, Postgres, Oracle and MS SQL database servers.

Fortress has a modified installer that accommodates all of the underlying schema changes that are part of the 5.0 release. You cannot use Fortress with an existing FarCry project without modification. |
Simple Install From Webroot
- Make sure you do not have a web mapping for /farcry (if you do, remove it now)
- Download the latest milestone release (http://www.farcrycore.org/go/download)
- Unpack the zip in to a folder called ./farcry under the webroot
- You should have ./farcry/core, ./farcry/projects, ./farcry/plugins, ./farcry/skeletons when you are done
- Create a blank database and point a datasource to it in CF Administrator
- Browse to http://localhost/farcry or equivalent
- Follow the installer instructions on your screen
- Yep. It's that easy.

If you are installing farcry framework under the webroot, make sure you do not have a coldfusion mapping for /farcry. This may be the case if you are installing on a server where a previous version of FarCry was installed. |
There are four Deployment Configurations supported by the Fortress installer:
- Standalone
- Sub-Directory
- Advanced: CF Mapping
- Advanced: Web Server Mapping
Getting Started
We've recently released Daemon's entire FarCry Developer Course (130+ pages) under Creative Commons. We hope this will go a long way to helping developers become familiar with the platform quickly.
