6. BlueDragon Administration Console
The BlueDragon administration console is used primarily to configure the BlueDragon
environment. It also provides status information about the BlueDragon runtime state.
The console offers online help on each page to assist in understanding how its features
work. There is information in the online help that is not in the BlueDragon
documentation. Additional discussion of the online help is found in the BlueDragon 6.1
User Guide.
The first part of this section focuses simply on how to access the administration console,
both locally and remotely.
Perhaps the most common activity performed in the administration console is the process
of configuring datasources for use by CFML programmers. This topic is covered
extensively in the BlueDragon 6.1 User Guide. But this section concludes with certain
key points may be relevant to readers of this document.
6.1 Accessing the BlueDragon Administration Console
The BlueDragon administration console is accessible only via the built-in web server; it
is not accessible via web servers on which you’ve installed a web server adapter.
To access the BlueDragon administration console, enter the following URL in a web
browser (if you specified a port other than 8080 for the built-in web server during instal-
lation, use that port number in the URL):
http://localhost:8080/bluedragon/admin.cfm
After entering this URL you will be prompted to log in to the BlueDragon administration
console using the password you provided during installation. See Figure 4, below.
