Chapter 2: Introduction to ColdFusion Server 33
ColdFusion Processes on Solaris
ColdFusion runs these processes on the system:
•
cfexec - Starts/stops the other processes and manages page scheduling
•
cfserver - The application server process
•
cfrdsservice - Provides system support for the Administrator
•
ipaliasd - Provides IP failover capability for ColdFusion Server
In addition, the
windu_registryd40 process provides an emulation of the Windows
registry database. This process must be running (as the root user) in order for
ColdFusion to function. The start script will start this process if it isn’t running (such as
during system startup). The stop script does not stop the registry process.
Starting and Stopping ColdFusion
Normally, ColdFusion services are started during ColdFusion setup and configured to
run whenever you start your system. However, if you need to start ColdFusion services,
click the Start-Stop icon in the ColdFusion program group. If a password is configured
for the Administrator, you will be prompted to enter a password before you can start or
stop ColdFusion services.
