Hi Everyone.
We have an Ensim (Redhat 7.2) Web Server running ColdFusion MX and MySQL. We are thinking of obtaining a second Ensim server to run as a backup server. Can anyone advise of hold we would good about setting it up so that any change made on the master server was replicated to the slave server. I know that MySQL has a replication function and I know hold to set this up, but what about the site files and the Ensim server settings? Also, how would you configure the server so that if the master failed / when offline for some reason the slave server automatically took over. The main reason for doing this to get the best possible site uptime we can. We recently had a problem with the server and it was offline for several hours.
Any advise will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Andrew
