Thank you very much for this.

Here is a bit more background for other newbies.

0. there was no VD for farcry on the webserver or CF. Going to
thedomainname.com/farcry was just redirecting to
www.thedomainname/farcry/core/webtop/login.cfm?RETURNURL=%2Ffarcry%2Fcore%2Fwebtop%2Findex%2Ecfm,
due to the redirect in the index.cfm of that directory.
1. The install of Farcry was the install option for Multiple Site using a
single Farcry core. It is not the "advanced" set-up or the setup for a
single site to be used with FaryCry.
2. an IIS Site named "FarCrySites" was setup using the local IP address in
IIS (192.168.1.10). This was setup when I first started checking out Farcy.
3. When I had Site A ready to publish, I bought a domain name (I'll call it
siteA.com). I then thought, hey, I'm going to be publishing another website
shortly, and I'll have to buy the domain name siteB.com. I'll just set up an
IIS site for siteA.com for now (in addtion to the one referred to at
paragreph 2 above), and when I get the domain name for siteB.com, I'll just
add another IIS Site when I buy it (siteB.com).

So, when I set up that siteA.com, the problems referred to in my initial
post starting happening - I could not login to the webtop.

It was the J2EE setting which was causing the problem.

-------------------------
As a post script:

Since that time I have kind of made progress, but not really. Bearing in the
configuration above, I thought I would try the following which occurred to
me after reading your post above to see what would happen. The changes were:
(a) setup a CF Virtual directory to /farcry (I appreciate that this is not
recommended practice, or otherwise a "big no-no"), and
(b) changed the home directory for siteA.com to the
d:\wwwroot\FarCrySites\siteA. The home directory for siteA.com was
originally d:\wwwroot\FarCrySites. I thought I could use IIS7 URL rewriting
somehow to make requests to siteA.com "redirect" so that the user would not
have "www.thedomainname.com/siteA/index.cfm..." appear in the address bar.

It was an interesting result. I can browse to the siteA.com and siteB.com,
but the CSS cannot be found. This seems to be because
application.url.webroot which is set by FarCry is "/siteA_name".

It seems the ultimate problem may be that if I want to have multiple sites
on the same server, I need to:
1. point the thedomainame.com to the home directory of siteA.com on the
server (so that the /siteA_name does not appear ).
2. have another dedicated IP address for administration of farcry websites.

But to do this, I somehow need to change the value of the variable
application.url.webroot from "/siteA_Name" to "/" in accordance with best
practice? I am sure that I can hack it, but prefer to use bets practice.

Would anyone be able to offer any tips on how to do this?
