Using GUI mode

The Web Server Configuration Tool includes a GUI mode, which you can use to specify external web server configuration settings through a graphical interface.

Note: When using the Web Server Configuration Tool in GUI mode, it is critical that you select the Configure web server for ColdFusion MX applications checkbox.

To run the Web Server Configuration Tool in GUI mode:

  1. Open a console window.

    Tip: In Windows, you can start the Web Server Configuration Tool by selecting Start > Programs > Macromedia ColdFusion MX > Web Server Configuration Tool.

  2. Change to the cf_root/runtime/lib (server configuration) or jrun_root/lib (JRun J2EE configuration) directory.
  3. Start the Web Server Configuration Tool using the following command: 
    java_home/bin/java -jar wsconfig.jar

    The Web Server Configuration Tool window appears.

  4. Click the Add button.
  5. Select the Configure web server for ColdFusion MX applications option.
  6. In the Server drop-down list box, select the server or cluster name that you want to configure. Individual server names in a cluster do not appear. Clustering support is only available on the JRun J2EE configuration.

    Note: The server or cluster does not have to reside on the web server computer. In this case, enter the IP address or server name of the remote computer in the JRun Host field.

  7. In the Web Server Properties area, enter web-server-specific information, and click OK.
  8. Move the CFIDE and cfdocs directories from cf_root\wwwroot to your web server root directory. In addition, copy your application's CFM pages from cf_root\wwwroot to your web server root directory.
