Managing the ColdFusion MX process on UNIX

This section describes the ColdFusion MX process and explains how to manage it.
Note: This discussion applies to the ColdFusion MX server configuration only. Under the J2EE
configuration, you start and stop ColdFusion MX by starting the application server.
Overview of the ColdFusion MX process
The ColdFusion MX installation creates a single process on UNIX called
whether it is running, use the following command:
ps -eaf | grep cfusion
If it is running, your computer returns something similar to the following line:
nobody 4528 1 10 12:44 pts/0 00:00:07 /opt/coldfusionmx/bin/cfusion -start
default
Managing the process
The ColdFusion MX process starts automatically when you start your computer and shuts down
automatically when you shut down your computer.
In the ColdFusion MX Administrator, if you enable or disable security or change any option in
the Java and JVM Settings page, you must stop and restart the ColdFusion MX process for your
changes to take effect. This applies to the server configuration only; in the J2EE configuration,
you use application-server-specific methods to update Java settings.
To manage the ColdFusion MX process on UNIX:
Log in as root, if you have not already done so.

Configuring web servers

This section describes how to configure a web server to serve ColdFusion pages, for Windows and
UNIX. Do this if you did not configure a web server automatically during installation, or to
change your web server.
You configure an external web server connection using the Web Server Configuration Tool, which
you can run either through a graphical user interface (GUI) or the command line. The Windows
discussions describe GUI mode ,and the UNIX instructions describe command-line mode;
however, you can use GUI mode on UNIX if you have access to a graphical environment.
