CONFIGURING AND ADMINISTERING COLDFUSION 9
Using the ColdFusion Administrator
Last updated 2/21/2012
Note: This page is available in the server configuration only.
Before ColdFusion saves your changes, it saves a copy of the current cf_root/runtime/bin/jvm.config file as jvm.bak. If
your changes prevent ColdFusion from restarting, use the jvm.bak file to restore your system. For more information,
see the Online Help.
Settings Summary page
The Settings Summary page shows all ColdFusion configuration settings. Click a group name to open the
Administrator section of that group, where you can edit settings. This page is not enabled in the Standard Edition.
In ColdFusion, you can export the server settings to PDF by clicking the Save As PDF button on this page.
