Also, what version of ColdFusion Server are you running? Standard or Enterprise? If enterprise which install did you do? Standard or Multiserver? How did you hook apache to ColdFusion? When you did the installation were you asked for a context root? If you were, what did you enter? Sorry for all the questions. I ran the install bin, and followed the step by step instructions. Also, the httpd. Comcar - question, so both the PHP and cfm is place in same folder?

You should mark this as the answer. When using cfstat from two different ColdFusion server instances, their port numbers of the said server instances should be explicitly specified.

You can add and remove IP addresses. If you do not specify IP addresses, and debugging options are active, ColdFusion displays debugging output for all users. Specify the port and the maximum number of simultaneous debugging sessions.

Specify the debugger port in the JVM settings of your application server, for example:. To stop a currently running debugging session, click Stop Debugging. For the changes that you specify on this page to take effect, restart the ColdFusion server.

Specifies the directory to which error log files are written. Sets the maximum file size for log files. When a file reaches this limit, it automatically is archived. Sets the maximum number of log archives to create. When they reach this limit, files are deleted in the order of oldest to newest. Logs the names of pages that take longer than the specified interval to process. Logging slow pages can help you diagnose potential problems or bottlenecks in your ColdFusion applications.

Entries are written to the server. The Log Files page lets you perform operations on log files, such as searching, viewing, downloading, archiving, and deleting. Click a Log File icon located in the Actions column of the Available Log Files table, to search, view, download, archive, or delete a log file.

Use the Logging Settings page to enable or disable administrative logging options, as the following table describes:. Select this option to change the location where ColdFusion log files are written. The location that you specify in this field must have sufficient disk space and security privileges for the ColdFusion system service. Set the maximum file size for log files. When a file reaches this size, ColdFusion automatically archives it. Set the maximum number of log archives to create. After reaching this limit, ColdFusion deletes files in order of oldest to newest.

Select this option to log messages using the UNIX syslog logging facility. ColdFusion also writes log messages to the standard ColdFusion log files. Specify the number of seconds that ColdFusion waits before logging the names of pages that take longer than the specified interval to process. Logging slow pages can help you diagnose potential problems in your ColdFusion applications.

ColdFusion writes entries to server. Enter one or more words in the Keywords text box. Click the Find drop-down list box, and select one of these options: exact phrase, any words, or all words. If applicable, enter the application name to filter. If applicable, the application name appears as the fifth entry column in the log file. The thread identification numbers are used by Adobe Technical Support personnel to track and troubleshoot problems.

The thread identification string appears as the fourth entry column in a log file. To display the log content for a specific date range, enter the start and end dates. For example, to specify April 21, , enter: To show the log content for a specific time range, enter the start and end times. For example, to specify P. System probes help you evaluate the status of your ColdFusion applications.

Like scheduled tasks, they access a URL at a specified interval, but they can also check for the presence or absence of a string in the URL. If the URL contents are unexpected, or if an error occurred while accessing the URL, the probe can send an e-mail alert to the address specified on the System Probes page.

The probe can also execute a script to perform a recovery action, such as restarting the server. The System Probes page also displays the status of each probe.

Use the buttons in the Actions column in the System Probes table to perform the following actions:. Because probes run as scheduled ColdFusion tasks, they do not run if the server on which they are hosted crashes, or if the host web server crashes or otherwise does not respond. Use the System Probes page to manage the ColdFusion system probes that were created to monitor the availability of a resource in your website.

Notification Email Recipients Specify the e-mail address of the recipient if a probe fails to connect to the specified URL. Specify the e-mail address of sender.

By default, this address is the address specified on the Mail Server page. Specifies the probe. ColdFusion requires this page to successfully execute probe configurations. In the System Probes table, select the name of the probe to suspend, and click the Disable Probe icon. Specify the time, in seconds, to indicate how long the probe should wait before registering a failure.

If this request must be routed through a proxy server, enter the URL and port number of that proxy server. It reviews the CFML pages that you specify and informs you of any potential compatibility issues. Additionally, the Code Compatibility Analyzer detects unsupported and deprecated CFML features, and outlines the required implementation changes that ensure a smooth migration. Use the analyzer as follows:. The License Scanner page searches the local subnet to find other running instances of ColdFusion.

You can use this information to determine whether the ColdFusion instances within the subnet are licensed appropriately. The ColdFusion Administrator uses universal datagram protocol UDP multicast to collect license and version information from all ColdFusion instances running within the subnet. Performance Monitoring Toolset is an application monitoring suite to enable developers gain insight on how applications perform at run time. Connected to datastore: Specifies if the Performance Monitoring Toolset is configured with a datastore.

The datastore contains information about the performance of various nodes and clusters. Server Monitor has been removed in ColdFusion release. However, Server Monitor is still available in ColdFusion release and earlier versions.

For more information, see Performance Monitoring Toolset in the previous section. You can identify information about the server, including requests, queries, memory usage, and errors.

You can start and stop collecting server information and take snapshots of the server. It lets you track the status of several servers. The Java Applets page of the Administrator lets you register applets and edit and delete applet registrations.

Before you can use Java applets in your ColdFusion applications, register them in the Java Applets page. When your applet is registered with ColdFusion, using the cfapplet tag in your CFML code is simple, because all parameters are predefined: Enter the applet source and the form variable name to use. Registering an applet lets you use the cfapplet tag. Identify the name of the file that contains the applet subclass. This filename is relative to the code base URL.

Provide the URL of the code base; the directory that contains the applet components. Note that this field is not required if the Java applet components are contained in a JAR file. For more information, see the Archive option. Optional If the Java applet components are stored in a jar file, enter the jar filename in the Archive text box. Optional Specify the method name in the applet that returns a string value.

This method name is used in the name attribute of the cfapplet tag to populate a form variable with the method's value. If the applet has no method, leave this field blank.

Specify a message that will be displayed by browsers that do not support Java applets. You can override this message with a different message notsupported attribute in the cfapplet tag.

Enter a name for each required applet parameter. Your Java applet typically provides the parameter name needed to use the applet. Enter each parameter in a separate parameter field.

Enter a default value for every parameter name specified. Click Add to add the values for the parameters. Your applet documentation provides guidelines on valid entries. You can build CFX tags in the following two ways:.

Click the Edit icon to edit the registration fields of a CFX tag. Click the Delete icon to remove the registration of a CFX tag. Provide a name for the CFX tag that you are registering.

Enter the class name without the. You typically package the. Enter the path to the library, or click Browse Server to locate the library that you want to use. Enter the procedure that implements the CFX tag. The procedure name must correspond with the procedure associated with the DLL or shared object you have specified. Notice that procedure names are case sensitive. Use the Custom Tag Paths page of the Administrator to add, edit, and delete custom tag directory paths.

However, you can specify additional paths to your custom tag locations by using this page. The following table describes the areas on the page:. The connectors depend on the ORB runtime libraries provided by the vendor. A connector for Borland Visibroker is embedded within ColdFusion. The following table contains information about the libraries and connectors:. ColdFusion includes the vbjorb. The Event Gateways section of the Administrator lets you configure event gateway settings, gateway types, and gateway instances.

ColdFusion event gateways are ColdFusion elements that let ColdFusion react to or generate external events or messages in an asynchronous manner. ColdFusion includes several event gateways, including an SMS Short Message Service gateway for sending short, often text, messages to and from wireless devices, such as mobile phones or pagers and a gateway for the XMPP Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol instant messaging protocol.

Specifies the maximum number of threads used to execute ColdFusion functions when an event arrives. A higher number uses more resources, but increases event throughput. Specifies the maximum number of events allowed on the event queue. If the queue length exceeds this value, gateway events are not be added to the processing queue. The Gateways Types pages let you configure the types of gateways available on your system. After you configure a type, you can create any number of gateway instances of that type.

Specifies the fully qualified name of the gateway class full Java class name for example, coldfusion. Startup Timeout n Seconds. If enabled, ColdFusion stops the gateway class if it times out on startup.

If disabled, ColdFusion logs a warning message when the timeout value is exceeded. Lets a ColdFusion application notify a Flex destination about changes in the data that the destination manages.

Modifies data through the ColdFusion application or the Flash client, and reflects the change in the Flash Media Server shared object. The Gateway Instances page lets you configure ColdFusion event gateway instances to direct events from various sources to ColdFusion components CFCs that you have written. A name for the event gateway instance. The Security section of the Administrator lets you configure the security frameworks of ColdFusion.

For more information on security, see Administering ColdFusion Security. The minimum character limit is 5 and the maximum character limit is That is, you can modify the settings that you made at the time of installation using ColdFusion Administrator. You use the Sandbox Security page called Resource Security in the Standard Edition to specify security permissions for data sources, tags, functions, files, directories, IP addresses, ports, and runtime permissions.

Sandbox security uses the location of your ColdFusion pages to determine functionality. A sandbox is a designated area CFM files or directories that contain CFM files of your site to which you apply security restrictions. By default, a subdirectory or child directory inherits the sandbox settings of the directory one level above it the parent directory. If you define sandbox settings for a subdirectory, you override the sandbox settings inherited from the parent directory.

Use sandbox security to control access to the following:. For details, see Using sandbox security. Use the User Manager page to specify the user name, password, description, access rights, exposed services, sandboxes, and allowed roles for individual users. This page is especially useful for web hosting when multiple ColdFusion applications are on one server, each maintained by a different user or organization.

If the administrator revokes the role of a user while the user is logged in, the revocation takes effect only when the user logs in again. The default user ID of an administrator is admin. To change the administrator user ID, add the following in the neo-security.

Note: To select multiple contiguous sandboxes or roles, press the Shift key while making selections. To select multiple noncontiguous sandboxes or roles, press the Control key while making selections. After you create a user, you must log into the ColdFusion Administrator using both a username and password. The default username for the root administrator is admin. To change it, you must edit the neo-security. When you grant access to specific Administrator pages, the user sees only those pages after logging in to the Administrator.

For information editing existing user configuration, see Edit User Configuration. If you change the pages or sandboxes to which a user is allowed access while that user is logged in to the Administrator, the changes take effect only after the user logs out, and then logs in again. For details about creating sandboxes, see Administering ColdFusion Security.

ColdFusion exposes existing enterprise services as web services. You can select the services available to a user from the Exposed Services section. By default, all the services are listed in the Allowed Services list box. Now, click Edit User to implement the changes to the user settings. The following are the exposed services:. In the User Manager page, click either the user name like in the User column or the Edit icon in the Action column. The User Manager page opens in Edit mode, where you can reconfigure the user account settings such as password, RDS Administrator access, adding sandboxes, and resetting the exposed services for the user.

Note : You would not be able to reset the user authentication type in the edit mode. Import the XML file of the metadata definition. Request store helps match outgoing requests and incoming responses with the Identity Provider to help protect against Replay Attacks. SAML requests can be tracked using one of the following storage methods:. The ColdFusion Archives page includes tools that let you archive and deploy ColdFusion applications, configuration settings, data source information, and other types of information to back up your files faster.

The complete list of archivable information includes the following:. After you archive the information, you can use the Administrator to deploy your web applications to the same ColdFusion server or to a ColdFusion server running on a different computer. Additionally, you can use these features to deploy and receive any ColdFusion archive file electronically.

The Archive Settings page lets you configure various archive system settings that apply to all archive and deployment operations. This archive file contains the ColdFusion web application, settings for ColdFusion such as data source definitions , the CFM pages used by your application text or compiled Java , and optionally, the ColdFusion Administrator.

This feature lets you quickly create an archive file that a J2EE administrator can use to deploy your ColdFusion application. Context root Because the J2EE environment supports multiple, isolated web applications running in a server instance, each J2EE web application running in a server is rooted at a unique base URL, called a context root or context path.

Note: If you are creating a cluster of server instances when running the multiserver configuration, use this page to create the WAR or EAR files required to create each of the servers in the cluster. Specifies a name for the J2EE archive definition.

Specifies the location of the CFM files to be included beneath the web root of the ColdFusion web application. ColdFusion uses the name archivename. If you create an EAR file, you can optionally specify a context root for the ColdFusion web application.

The default is an empty context root. For more information, see J2EE Archives. If you create a WAR file, the context root is handled in an application-server-specific manner. In some application servers, the default context root is the name of the WAR file; in others, you specify the context root using the deploy tool or through a server-specific configuration file. For more information, see ColdFusion Package Manager. Check for updates to the core packages. Click the button Check for Updates and see a list of available updates.

The Installed Packages section lists all packages that are already installed. You can also uninstall all the installed packages. The Available Packages section lists packages that are not yet installed.

Click Install All to install the packages simultaneously.. This section provides options to specify update preferences such as update notifications or if to automatically check for updates.

Click Auto-Check to see if any package updates are available for installation. You will receive a notification when a new update is available for download. Provides options to specify update preferences such as update notifications or if to automatically check for updates.

For more information, see Licensing and Activation. The Enterprise Manager section of the Administrator lets you create Tomcat server instances with ColdFusion already deployed, register remote Tomcat server instances, and create clusters of Tomcat server instances.

The Instance Manager page lets you view the local and remote Tomcat servers that can be accessed by a cfusion server running. From this page you can access pages that define new, local, Tomcat servers and register existing Tomcat servers running on remote computers, as follows:. Specifies the Tomcat server name. If the server is started, you can click this name to open a browser window to the Tomcat server's web root. The Cluster Manager page in ColdFusion Administrator lets you create and manage clusters of Tomcat servers, each containing the same ColdFusion application.

The Edit Cluster page in ColdFusion Administrator lets you define the server instances for a cluster and to customize cluster settings. Manage clusters using the ColdFusion Administrator. If your ColdFusion application uses session replication, sticky sessions are not typically required.

When session replication is enabled, Tomcat propagates session-variable information to all servers in the cluster every time a session variable changes. Consider whether the application's business requirements require session replication and whether your network incurs the increased traffic before enabling session replication. Consider using client variables instead of session variables. The sticky sessions and session replication options require the use of J2EE Sessions by all instances participating in the cluster.

Do this for each server in the cluster. To add a remote instance to a cluster, add the cluster block to the remote instances server. Then, register the remote instance and add the instance to the cluster. Using the ColdFusion Administrator of the local host, add the local instance and the remote instance to the cluster.

In ColdFusion 10 or higher, the ColdFusion Administrator lets you verify and make product updates from the browser-interface itself. For more information, see Install Adobe ColdFusion hotfix. The updates can include hot fixes and security hot fixes for ColdFusion The Updates page has the following options:. You can then place the hotfix file on the ColdFusion server and apply the hotfix either with the Admin interface or via the command-line. If you place it in a locally web-accessible location, you can even configure the updater settings to point to that local URL as the location for ColdFusion to find the updates.

See the discussion on the "settings" section, below. Similarly, if you're behind a proxy and would need to specify proxy information for ColdFusion to access the public hotfix URL, you can provide that information proxy host, port, user, and password by modifying the jvm.

Note: This option does not apply to J2EE installations. Also, in the case of multi-server installations, you have to select the server on which you want to install the hot fix.

Settings: Provides options to specify update preferences such as update notifications or if to automatically check for updates. If you have set up a local update site, you can also specify URL of that site to get updates. To do this, populate the updates. The following is a sample updates. Installation occurs silently. The following is a sample properties file:.

Follow the instructions provided in the console. By default, after applying the hotfix, servers are restarted. If you do not want the servers to restart, additionally, provide the following command:.

Note: When you create a new instance from ColdFusion Administrator, hot fixes applied to the default instance is automatically applied to the new instance that you create.

If you have installed from command prompt in Console or UI mode, from the ColdFusion root directory, run the following command:. If you have installed from the ColdFusion Administrator, from the ColdFusion root directory, run the following command:. If you have installed the hotfix using silent installation on your own, uninstallation can also be done silently. Run the following command:.

Even though you have installed hotfix to 5 instances using a single script, there is only one hotfix uninstaller for all these 5 instances for a given update Usually this is under cfusion instance. It can be under other instances if cfusion was not opted for HF.

When you invoke the previously mentioned commands, it will uninstall the hotfix from all the 5 instances. You can extend the functionality of the ColdFusion Administrator by adding links to other web applications and sites. These links appear under the Custom Extensions section in the left navigation pane of the Administrator. Save this file as extensionscustom.

When you click a link, the page appears. For example, you use the setMSQL method of datasource. Specify the user name, password, description, access rights, sandboxes, and allowed roles for individual users. Contains basic Administrator functionality, including login, logout, the Migration wizard, and the Setup wizard.

You must call the login method before calling any other methods in the Administrator API. Manages Scheduler tasks Services integration settings like finding task, updating task, and enabling cluster management. Start, stop, and restart Tomcat servers. Note: You can instantiate administrator. Note: You can log in as a user other than administrator, but with proper permissions, as follows. Provide the user name after the password. Call the administrator. The following example adds the same SQL Server data source, but uses the argumentCollection attribute to pass all method arguments in a structure:.

You should not need to change the advanced values if you are running with the ColdFusion installed version of Solr. This section of the ColdFusion Administrator allows you to enable debugging and other monitoring, and set the debugging output to be available. This can be useful in a development environment because, when you view your website, ColdFusion can output variables, template execution times, detailed error information etc. Allows you to limit the output of debugging information to a particular IP address.

Therefore, if you want to see debugging information but you don't want other users to see it, you can specify your IP address but nobody elses. Configures where log files should be stored, what the maximum size should be, as well as what should be logged. This section of the ColdFusion Administrator allows you to configure scheduled tasks. This was implemented to assist developers in upgrading to ColdFusion from earlier versions of ColdFusion.
