Accessing The Coldfusion Mx Administrator; Migrating A Coldfusion Application To Ibm Websphere Application Server - MACROMEDIA COLDFUSION MX 61 - INSTALLING COLDFUSION MX FOR IBM WEBSPHERE APPLICATION SERVER Manual

However, you cannot have multiple J2EE web applications at the / context root. Therefore, if
there is already a web application at the / context root, you cannot also have ColdFusion MX
there. For example, when you install WebSphere 4 Single Server, the Sample Application
default_app.war web module is put at the / context root. You must remove this web module or
change it to a specific context root, such as /default, before you install ColdFusion MX at the /
context root.
Note: If you install ColdFusion MX at the / context root, you do not need the RDS redirector web
module. For more information on the RDS redirector web module, see

Accessing the ColdFusion MX Administrator

This section explains how to access the ColdFusion MX Administrator in ColdFusion MX for
IBM WebSphere Application Server.
To access the ColdFusion MX Administrator:
Start the server on which ColdFusion MX is running.
1

The following sample URL accesses the ColdFusion MX Administrator:
http://localhost:9080/cfmx/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
Note: The ColdFusion MX Administrator documentation describes features that are not available,
or behave differently in ColdFusion MX for IBM WebSphere Application Server. For information
on these differences, see
Migrating a ColdFusion application to IBM WebSphere
Application Server
This section describes how to migrate an application that you developed for ColdFusion MX to
run on IBM WebSphere Application Server.
To migrate a ColdFusion application to IBM WebSphere Application Server
If you are migrating an application that was developed for ColdFusion 5 or earlier, ensure that
1
it is compatible with ColdFusion MX.
For more information, see Migrating ColdFusion Applications and the Migrating from
ColdFusion section of the Release Notes.
Value
The host name or IP address on which the web server is running. If your web
server is on the local machine, you can also specify localhost for this value.
The port on which your web server runs. Varies depending on your web server
and WebSphere configuration, and might not be required. For example, the
default WebSphere Application Server installation uses a web server at port
9080.
The context root specified when you installed the ColdFusion EAR files. The
default value is cfmx. This value is stored in the application.xml file in the
\cfusion.ear\META-INF directory in Windows, and in the /cfusion.ear/META-
INF directory on UNIX.
