INSTALLING COLDFUSION 9
Configuring Your System
Last updated 1/20/2012
Note: In the ColdFusion Administrator, if you enable or disable security or change any option in the Java and JVM
Settings page, stop and restart ColdFusion 9 for your changes to take effect. This applies to the server configuration only;
in the multiserver and J2EE configurations, you use application-server-specific methods to update Java settings.
Start or stop a ColdFusion service
1 Open the Services dialog box by selecting Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
If a service is running, its status appears as Started in the Status column. If it is not running, no status appears for
the service.
2 Right-click a service, and select Stop, Start, or Restart.
The Services window refreshes.
Set ColdFusion 9 to start automatically or manually
1 Open the Control Panel > Services dialog box.
2 Right-click the service to configure, and select Properties.
3 In the Properties dialog box, on the General tab, select one of the following options in the Startup Type frame or
pop-up menu, and click OK:
• Automatic - Starts the service automatically when you start the computer.
• Manual - Requires a user or dependent service to manually start the service.
Managing the ColdFusion process in UNIX
The ColdFusion installation creates a single process in UNIX called coldfusion9. To check whether it is running, use
the following command:
ps -eaf | grep coldfusion9
If it is running, your computer returns something similar to the following line:
nobody 4528 1 10 12:44 pts/0 00:00:07 /opt/coldfusion9/bin/coldfusion9 -jar jrun.jar -start
coldfusion
Note: This discussion applies to the ColdFusion 9 server configuration only. With the multiserver or J2EE configuration,
you start and stop ColdFusion 9 by starting the application server.
The ColdFusion process starts automatically when you start your computer and shuts down automatically when you
shut down your computer, if you specified that it should do so in the installation.
