INSTALLING COLDFUSION 9

Installing the Multiserver Configuration

Last updated 1/20/2012

14 Code CFM pages.

If you configured an external web server, store CFM pages under your web root directory. If you are using the built-

in web server, store CFM pages under the web application root (jrun_root/servers/cfusion/cfusion-ear/cfusion-

war) and access these pages using a URL of the form http://hostname:8300/context-root/filename.cfm, as follows:

• hostname The machine name, IP address, or localhost.

• contextroot The context root for the ColdFusion web application. For more information, see “Context root”

on page 19.

• filename The directory path and file to display. The path is relative to the cfusion-war directory.

For example, to display a CFM file located at C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-

war\eisapp\index.cfm using the built-in JRun web server and a context root of cfmx, you specify the URL as

http://localhost:8300/cfusion/eisapp/index.cfm.
