ADOBE COLDFUSION 8

Installing and Using ColdFusion

Note: In the ColdFusion Administrator, if you enable or disable security or change any option in the Java and JVM

Settings page, you must stop and restart ColdFusion 8 for your changes to take effect. This applies to the server config-

uration only; in the multiserver and J2EE configurations, you use application-server-specific methods to update Java

settings.

Start or stop a ColdFusion service

Open the Services dialog box by selecting Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.

If a service is running, its status appears as Started in the Status column. If it is not running, no status appears

for the service.

2 Right-click a service, and select Stop, Start, or Restart.

The Services window refreshes.

Set ColdFusion 8 to start automatically or manually

1 Open the Control Panel > Services dialog box.

2 Right-click the service to configure, and select Properties.

3 In the Properties dialog box, on the General tab, select one of the following options in the Startup Type frame

or pop-up menu, and click OK:

• Automatic - Starts the service automatically when you start the computer.

• Manual - Requires a user or dependent service to manually start the service.

Managing the ColdFusion process in UNIX

The ColdFusion installation creates a single process in UNIX called coldfusion8. To check whether it is running,

use the following command:

ps -eaf | grep coldfusion8

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/coldfusion8/bin/coldfusion8 -jar jrun.jar -

start coldfusion

Note: This discussion applies to the ColdFusion 8 server configuration only. With the multiserver or J2EE configu-

ration, you start and stop ColdFusion 8 by starting the application server.
