Overview of Administering ColdFusion

The ColdFusion Administrator is the administrative interface of the ColdFusion Server.
ColdFusion Server is the component of the overall ColdFusion Web application
development system that processes ColdFusion application pages and returns HTML
pages to Web clients.
The Administrator provides a browser-based interface allowing you to manage server
performance, add and configure ColdFusion data sources, schedule pages, manage log
files, and so on. For any ColdFusion development project, some level of administration
is generally necessary to set up ColdFusion Server for your application.

Accessing the Administrator

All administrative operations are performed using the ColdFusion Administrator,
which you can launch from the ColdFusion 4.0 program group in Windows, or by
opening the Administrator URL in your browser. If ColdFusion Server is installed
locally, you can open the following URL:
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm
To access the Administrator remotely, you open the following URL:
http:// hostname /CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm
Where hostname is the name of the system on which ColdFusion Server is installed. If
you are using ColdFusion Administrator security, you will be prompted for a password.
If your Web server is providing security, access to the Administrator pages is governed
by the permissions defined in your Web server.
Note
The Administrator's URL is case sensitive on Solaris and should be used
as shown.
