I have a client with an old cold fusion site that has some cloud applications that they would like to keep.
We are building a new site for them using WordPress and I am wondering if I can run LAMP side by side with the ColdFusion apps so we don’t have to re-write their applications (this is not a requirement of the project).
Thanks.
Yes, you can run PHP & ColdFusion on the same server. I have my server configured that way.
The short answer is “Yes”.
The longer answer is “Yes, and as long as you have IIS or Apache configured correctly to handle the different file extensions, you shouldn’t have an issue.”
I’ve set up dev environments with both without an issue, even sharing the same database, even with a nodeJS application running alongside.
If you let us know what your current config is, it will be easier to help you get both running together.
