It's likely that we will rename ./core/admin has been renamed to ./core/webtop in a bid to clarify the intent of these areas of the code base. If we make Having made these changes now they , we're hoping this will not put any additional burden on developers above changes required to accommodate the implementation of Application.cfc |

| Excerpt |
|---|
With the release of Fortress there will be several recommended deployment options. Given the flexibility of the environment many other configurations are possible, however, they will not be specifically tested for. These deployment options will be fully supported in the Fortress installer. |
Standalone
| Tip |
|---|
Default installer configuration option. |
Specifically aimed at one application per website. For standalone application deployment and/or shared hosting deployment that allows for a single project with a dedicated core framework and dedicated library of plugins. Specifically aimed at one application per website.
Location from Mapping | Example Physical Location | Example Web Address | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
/farcry/core | c:\hostapps\myproject\farcry\core | http://myproject.com/farcry (will forward to webtop) | FarCry core framework. |
/farcry/core/webtop | c:\hostapps\myproject\farcry\core\webtop | Webtop location; commonly mapped to /webtop web virtual directory (note /farcry virtual directory no longer valid) | |
/farcry/plugins/farcryverity | c:\hostapps\myproject\farcry\plugins\farcryverity | None. | Verity plugin root. |
/farcry/projects/myproject | c:\hostapps\myproject\farcry\projects\myproject | None. | Sample project application root. |
project webroot | c:\hostapps\myproject | Sample project web root. |
| Note |
|---|
In this example, the contents of c:\hostapps\myproject\farcry\projects\myproject\www is moved or copied copied into c:\hostapps\myproject and the directory renamed to c:\hostapps\myproject\farcry\projects\myproject\wwwCopiedToWebroot |

The standalone configuration will default to users needing to reference the webtop via /farcry/core/webtop. If you want to change this to something else, for example, abbreviating to /webtop you will need to make a couple of configuration changes. Firstly, you'll need a web virtual (we'll assume you can handle this yourself). Then you will need to update the application.url.farcry to reference your new mapping, such as "/webtop", in your project's ./config/serverSpecificVars.cfm file. application.url.farcry is a global constant that maps functionality under the webtop via a reference relative to the webroot of your project. |
Sub-Directory
| Tip |
|---|
Recommended for local development only. |
For multiple application deployment under a single webroot. Specifically aimed at one multiple applications per website. Recommended only for local development.
Location from Mapping | Example Physical Location | Example Web Address | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
/farcry/core | c:\hostapps\wwwroot\farcry\core | http://localhost:8500/farcry (will forward to webtop) | FarCry core framework. |
/farcry/core/webtop | c:\hostapps\wwwroot\farcry\core\webtop | Webtop location | |
/farcry/plugins/farcryverity | c:\hostapps\wwwroot\farcry\plugins\farcryverity | None. | Verity plugin root. |
/farcry/projects/myproject | c:\hostapps\wwwroot\farcry\projects\myproject | None. | Sample project application root. |
project webroot | c:\hostapps\wwwroot\myproject | Sample project web root. |
| Note |
|---|
In this example, c:\hostapps\myproject\farcry\projects\myproject\www is moved or copied to c:\hostapps\webroot\myproject |
Advanced Configuration (ColdFusion Mapping)
| Tip |
|---|
Current best practice for 4.0.x is to use a CF mapping. Will be considered an advanced deployment option from Fortress onwards. |
| Note |
|---|
This installation configuration is not suitable for projects running in a shared hosting environment. |
An enterprise configuration that allows for an unlimited number of projects to share a single core framework and library of plugins. Sharing is done through common reference to specific ColdFusion mapping of /farcry.
Location from Mapping | Example Physical Location | Example Web Address | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
/farcry/core | c:\farcry\core | None. | FarCry core framework. |
/farcry/core/webtop | c:\farcry\core\webtop | Webtop location; commonly mapped to /webtop web virtual directory | |
/farcry/plugins/farcryverity | c:\farcry\plugins\farcryverity | None. | Verity plugin root. |
/farcry/projects/myproject | c:\farcry\projects\myproject | None. | Sample project application root. |
/farcry/projects/myproject/www | c:\farcry\projects\myproject\www | Sample project web root. |
Advanced Configuration (Webserver Mapping)
| Tip |
|---|
New for Fortress. Considered an advanced deployment option similar to ColdFusion mapping. |
An enterprise configuration that allows for an unlimited number of projects to share a single core framework and library of plugins. Sharing is done through common reference to specific web server mapping (aka web virtual directory) of /farcry.
Location from Mapping | Example Physical Location | Example Web Address | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
/farcry/core | c:\farcry | None; will redirect to webtop. | Central FarCry framework; mapped to /farcry web virtual directory. |
/farcry/core | c:\farcry\core | None; will redirect to webtop. | FarCry core framework. |
/farcry/core/webtop | c:\farcry\core\webtop | Webtop location; commonly redirected to /webtop web virtual directory | |
/farcry/core/webtop | c:\farcry\core\webtop | Webtop location; commonly mapped to /farcry webtop web virtual directory | |
/farcry/plugins/farcryverity | c:\farcry\plugins\farcryverity | None. | Verity plugin root. |
/farcry/projects/myproject | c:\farcry\projects\myproject | None. | Sample project application root. |
/farcry/projects/myproject/www | c:\farcry\projects\myproject\www | Sample project web root. |
