Configuring Web Servers - MACROMEDIA COLFUSION MX 7 - INSTALLING AND USING COLDFUSION MX Using Manual

Managing the process
The ColdFusion MX 7 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 7 process for your
changes to take effect. This applies to the server configuration only; in the multiserver and J2EE
configurations, you use application-server-specific methods to update Java settings.
To manage the ColdFusion MX 7 process on UNIX:
Log in as root, if you have not already done so.
1.
Enter the following command:
2.
cd cf_root/bin
Enter the appropriate command for what you need to do, as the following table describes:
3.
Task

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, to change
your web server, or to configure a web server for a cluster.
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.
Tip: ColdFusion MX 7 provides batch files and shell scripts in the cf_root/bin/connectors directory to
help you get started with command-line usage.
For more information on the Web Server Configuration Tool, including information on
multihoming and distributed usage, see Configuring and Administering ColdFusion MX.
Note: If you cannot verify your configuration, repeat the procedure. If the problem persists, contact
Macromedia Technical Support for assistance, or manually create the element that you cannot verify
in the configuration (for example, manually add an entry to the Apache httpd.conf file, as described in
this section).
