Chapter 10: Working with Server Manager
Adobe ColdFusion Server Manager is an Adobe AIR application packaged with ColdFusion installation. It enables
ColdFusion Server administrators to monitor and manage multiple servers and apply the settings from one
ColdFusion server to other ColdFusion servers.
Launch Server Manager
Before starting Server Manager, ensure that you have AIR installed because Server Manager requires the AIR platform
to run.
You can download AIR from:
http://get.adobe.com/air/
To launch the Server Manager for the first time:
Log into ColdFusion Administrator.
1
2
Click Server Monitor and then click Launch Server Manager.
To download the Server Manager AIR application for a standard version of ColdFusion, access the following URL
to download the file, ServerManager.air:
http://<Host>:<Port>/<Context root if applicable>/CFIDE/ServerManager/
3
Save and run the Server Manager AIR file to launch Server Manager on your computer.
Note: When you download ServerManager.air application that is running on IIS 7 web server or a J2EE server, set the
mimetype in the respective webserver or J2EE server. If you cannot configure the AIR mimetype, then you can either
download the ServerManager.zip file, change the file extension to .air, and run it, or run the AIR file located in the
<CF_HOME>/CFIDE/ServerManager directory.
For IIS7, you may get the following error when you try to download severmanager.air.
"The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the
page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map."
To avoid this, configure the MIME type by adding '.air' as File name Extension and
application-installer-package+zip'
After the installation:
1
Run the Server Manager by calling ColdFusion Server Manager executable from the installation directory.
Set the master password when you log into the Server Manager for the first time. You can also reset this password.
2
Note: When you reset the password, the passwords of all the registered servers are nullified. You must provide
passwords to all registered servers to connect to.
Register servers
Register each ColdFusion server instance to manage it from the Server Manager.
