Web server configuration

Command-line interface examples

This section provides examples of multiple use-cases for different web servers:

•

Configure a specific IIS site:

cf_root/runtime/bin/wsconfig.exe -server coldfusion -ws iis -site "web31" 

 

-coldfusion -v

On systems where all sites run ColdFusion, there is generally no need to configure an 
individual site. 

•

Configure all existing IIS sites (ISPs):

cf_root/runtime/bin/wsconfig.exe -server coldfusion -ws iis -site 0 

 

-coldfusion -cfwebroot C:\Inetpub\wwwroot -v

The 

-cfwebroot

 option allows all sites to share the ColdFusion MX Administrator that runs 

under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot. This example does not automatically configure newly added sites 
after the first 

-site 0

 run, but you can rerun with 

-site 0

 at a later time, and the Web Server 

Configuration Tool configures new sites only.

•

Configure Apache on UNIX #1:

cf_root/runtime/bin/wsconfig -server coldfusion -ws Apache 

 

-bin /opt/apache2/bin/httpd -script /opt/apache2/bin/apachectl 

 

-dir /opt/apache2/conf -coldfusion -v

•

Configure Apache on UNIX #2:

cf_root/runtime/bin/wsconfig -server coldfusion -ws Apache

 

-bin /usr/bin/httpd -script /usr/bin/httpd -dir /etc/httpd/conf 

 

-coldfusion -v

•

Configure Apache in Windows:

cf_root/runtime/bin/wsconfig.exe -server coldfusion -ws apache -dir 

"c:\program files\apache group\apache2\conf" -coldfusion -v

•

Configure Netscape on UNIX:

cf_root/runtime/bin/wsconfig -server coldfusion -ws nes 

 

-dir [path to config] -coldfusion -v

•

Configure Sun ONE Web Server on UNIX:

cf_root/runtime/bin/wsconfig -server coldfusion -ws sunone 

 

-dir [path to config] -coldfusion -v

Configuration files

The Web Server Configuration Tool stores properties in configuration files, as follows:

IIS

  In the jrun.ini file, typically found in a subdirectory of the cf_root/runtime/lib/wsconfig 

(server configuration) or jrun_root/lib/wsconfig (multiserver configuration) directory. For IIS 5 
only, it also defines filter and extension mappings in the IIS metabase.

Apache

  In the httpd.conf file, typically found in the apache_root/conf directory.

Sun ONE Web Server/iPlanet

  In the obj.conf and magnus.conf files, typically found in the 

ws_root/server-http-xxx/config directory.
