The
ColdFusion Administrator provides a browser-based interface for
managing your ColdFusion environment. You can configure many settings
to provide optimal levels of security and functionality. The available
options are based on your edition of ColdFusion 9—Standard or Enterprise—as
well as your configuration: server, multiserver, or J2EE. For more
information on ColdFusion configurations, see Preparing
to Install ColdFusion in Installing ColdFusion.
The
default location for the ColdFusion Administrator login page is:
http://servername[:portnumber]/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
Where servername is the fully qualified domain name of
your web server. Common values for servername are localhost
or 127.0.0.1 (each refers to the web server on the local computer).
If you are using the ColdFusion built-in web server, include
the port number as part of the servername. The default port number
for the server configuration is 8500; for example, http://servername:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm.
The default port number for the multiserver configuration is 8300.
If you are using the J2EE configuration, include the port number
that the web server of the J2EE application server uses.
If you were using the built-in web server in
a version earlier than ColdFusion MX 7 and upgraded to ColdFusion
8, the installer automatically finds an unused port for the built-in
web server (typically 8501).
If your
ColdFusion Administrator is on a remote computer, use the Domain
Name Services (DNS) name or Internet Protocol (IP) address of the
remote host.
To access the ColdFusion Administrator, enter the password specified
when you installed ColdFusion.
Note: If you are running ColdFusion in a multihomed
environment and have problems displaying the ColdFusion Administrator,
see
Web Server Management for configuration information.
