ColdFusion and CreativeSuite Versions?

I have CS-4 and CF-8 running just fine.  I want to do some testing with CS-5 (I   won't upgrade for real till more of my clients start upgrading). Looking for version recommendations - e.g. do I install CS-5 with CF-8?  Or upgrade to CF-9 and run both CS-4 and CS-5 on CF-9?  Or run CS-4 with CF-8 and CS-5 with CF-9? Thanks in advance

i am running CS5 Master Collection and CF 9 perfectly. I use Mac OSX. CF8 and CS5 will be fine too. creative suite and cf are not related as I can tell, if they are somebody please explain to me.

Puzzled about what you're asking here: CS4/CS5 is desktop software, CF8 is server software - they're totally unconnected. You don't "run ... CS-4 ... on CF-9" - that doesn't make sense. Could you explain what you're actually concerned about?

The CS-5 desktop includes the Dreamweaver client which talks to the ColdFusion (8 or 9) server. So - what is the best way to test Dreamweaver CS-5 without messing up production on Dreamweaver CS-4 client and ColdFusion 8 Server?

I am with Sean here, the only aspect of the creative suite you would use ColdFusion for is RDS in dreawearver, as besides dreamweaver the rest are design tools and have nothing to do with ColdFusion! When you install CF(which ever version) and set up RDS it allows dreamweaver to show your CF datasources in the database pannel. You can do this with any version of dreamweaver as long as RDS is enabled . what think that you are asking is this: is this what you are trying to do when you say connect? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1775689/RDS.png just make sure to set up RDS, so for example if this is working now in CS4 and you install DW CS 5 the same will happen, no need to configure anything.

I'm pretty sure the RDS feature in DW has not changed between CS4 and CS5. RDS on the server changed a bit between CF8 and CF9 I think to support some richer operations in ColdFusion Builder - but that will have zero effect on DW. Also note that RDS is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED on production systems (for security and other reasons). So, basically, CF8/CF9 don't care which version of DW is connecting to them but you really should consider NOT using RDS on any production server. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood
