Specify Log On User for ColdFusion Services
Open the Services Manager and change the user the service runs as to be the user you created (cfuser
in the guide example). The installation creates a service named ColdFusion 11 Application Server which
runs the initial ColdFusion instance. Right click the service, click Properties and select the Log On tab to
specify the username and password for the account you created. Restart the ColdFusion 11 Services.
If you installed any optional subcomponents (such as Solr, .NET or the PDF Generation Service) ensure
that their respective Windows Service is configured to run as the ColdFusion user account as well. If you
installed a subcomponent but are not using it, change the service Startup type to Disabled and stop the
service.
Setup Web Root Folder Structure
Create a directory to contain your web sites, for example d:\web-sites\ and then create a sub
directory to house each web site. If possible, use a dedicated partition and drive letter to decrease the
success of directory traversal attacks.
