FarCry Beta: Gonzales

Gonzales is the beta of FarCry 4.0 - the beta platform is realtively stable and Daemon already has several production sites running on builds of this code base. That said, be aware that it is not commercially supported and you use the beta at your own risk. Plenty of us risking it at farcry-beta@googlegroups.com if you need help.

FarCry Build 1394 is available for download.

Step 1.

Download the Current FarCry Build and extract it on your computer. The ZIP file contains 3 Directories. You will now have a Directory Structure similar to the one listed below.
[Farcry Root Directory]
----- core
----- plugins
----- projects

Step 2.

Open the directory called [projects] inside the [FarCry Root Directory] and make a copy of the [mollio] Directory, renaming the copy to the name of your project.

Step 3.

Create a [/farcry] ColdFusion mapping in your ColdFusion Administrator pointing to the [FarCry Root Directory] you created in Step 1.

Step 4.

Create an empty Database and Create a DSN in your ColdFusion Administrator

Step 5.

  1. Setup your Website in your web server config (Apache or IIS) and point it to the [FarCry Root Directory]/projects/[Project Directory]/www Directory you setup in Step 2.
  2. Create a Virtual Directory/Alias under your website called [farcry] that points to [FarCry Root Directory]/core/admin

Step 6.

Open your web browser and go to the website location you have setup and follow the install instructions.


Installation Notes

If you are updating from a previous Gonzales Release, you will need to move your project into the new PROJECTS directory and run the following Find/Replace exactly as shown on your project in case you have referred to any legacy paths.
  1. replace /farcry/#application.applicationname#
    with /farcry/projects/#application.applicationname#
  2. replace farcry/fourq
    with farcry/core/packages/fourq
  3. replace farcry.fourq
    with farcry.core.packages.fourq
  4. replace farcry_core
    with core

* Note: Farcry 4.0 (Gonzales) has been developed with a minimum requirement of ColdFusion MX7.0.2

Note naming must follow standard CF variable naming; starts with alpha, and contains only alpha/numerics/underscore.
