13.

Configure and manage your system, as described in Chapter 5, “Configuring Your System,” on

page 45.

14.

Code and test ColdFusion MX 7 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 MX 7 web application. For more

information, see “Context root” on page 33.

■ 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 /opt/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/cfmx/eisapp/index.cfm.

Configuration

In addition to enabling sandbox security in the ColdFusion MX Administrator, the application

server must be running a security manager (

java.lang.SecurityManager) and you must define

the following JVM arguments:

-Djava.security.manager

-Djava.security.policy="

cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/coldfusion.policy"

-Djava.security.auth.policy="

cf_webapp_root/WEB-INF/cfusion/lib/

neo_jaas.policy"

You configure these settings by using a text editor to modify the jrun_root/bin/jvm.config file. or

through the Settings panel of the JRun Management Console (JMC).
