INSTALLING COLDFUSION 9
Installing the Server Configuration
Last updated 1/20/2012
If you specified the use of an external web server when you ran the installer, ColdFusion automatically runs the
cf_root/bin/cfmx-connectors.sh script when it starts the first time. This shell script runs the Web Server
Configuration Tool by using the settings that you specified during the installation. If there are problems running
this script, review the configuration and bin directory specifications, modify as necessary, and rerun the script. You
can also configure your web server by using the scripts in cf_root/bin/connectors, as appropriate.
To stop ColdFusion, use the following command:
/cf_root/bin/coldfusion stop
For more information on managing processes, see “Managing the ColdFusion process in UNIX” on page 59.
13 Open ColdFusion Administrator to run the Configuration wizard.
14 Configure and manage your system, as described in “Configuring Your System” on page 58.
15 To install any other integrated Adobe or third-party technologies, see “Installing Integrated Technologies” on
page 48.
16 To learn about ColdFusion, read the documentation, which is accessible through the Documentation link on the
Resources page of the ColdFusion Administrator.
