CONFIGURING AND ADMINISTERING COLDFUSION 9
Working with Server Manager
Last updated 2/21/2012
For details about the WAR files corresponding to each application server and the parameters required to run start/stop
operations see:
• JRun-specific parameters
• WebLogic Server-specific parameters
• WebSphere-specific parameters
• JBoss specific parameters
Note: Options such as start, stop, or restart would be enabled only after you provide the required details under Start/Stop
Details tab.
JRun-specific parameters
For JRun (multiserver) or ColdFusion standalone server, deploy the jrunappstartup.war file on the admin server
instance.
For a ColdFusion standalone server, place the jrunappstartup.war file under the directory
<CF_Home>/runtime/servers/admin/ to deploy the WAR file. For JRun multiserver, you can either place the
jrunappstartup.war file under the directory <JRun_Home>/servers/admin/ to get the WAR file deployed or login
to the admin server (http://<HOST_NAME>:8000) and then deploy the WAR file.
There are two ways to start/stop a server:
• Using a service
• Using a JRun launcher
By default, the server start/stop happens using the JRun launcher. However, if you need to start/stop the server instance
using a service then specify the service name in Server Manager. To specify the service name:
1 From the Start/Stop Details tab in Server Manager, select the Server runs as a service check box.
2 Depending on whether the ColdFusion installation is multiserver or standalone, you can select the service name as
Macromedia JRun CFusion Server or ColdFusion 9 Application Server.
If you have created a ColdFusion service or renamed an existing service, then select the Other option and specify
the name of the service.
Important: Make sure that you specify the correct service name in Server Manager. If you specify the name of a service,
which corresponds to some other ColdFusion instance, then some other ColdFusion service may be stopped rather than
the intended one.
Note: If you start/stop a server using JRun launcher and a service is configured to run automatically, then if the server is
stopped using JRun launcher, the service starts the server automatically. To avoid this, stop the server using the service.
If the ColdFusion server instance is not running as a service, you can perform start/stop of the server using JRun
launcher.
To run start/stop operations, start JRun admin server. To start JRun admin server:
1 Go to <CF_HOME>/runtime/bin>.
2 Run jrun start admin.
Note: If debugging is enabled on the ColdFusion server instance, start admin server by calling adminstart.bat
(Windows) or
adminstart.sh from <CF_HOME>/runtime/bin> directory.
After the server starts, login to the admin server (http://<HOST_NAME>:8000) and then deploy the WAR file.
