Changing the web root directory
By default, the web root of the built-in ColdFusion web server is cf_root\wwwroot. You can change the default web root by editing the file web_root\WEB-INF\jrun-web.xml.
To change the web root in Windows:
| 1 |
Make a backup copy of web_root\WEB-INF\jrun-web.xml, and then open the original version of the jrun-web.xml file. |
| 2 |
Edit the system-path attribute to change to the new web root directory: |
|
<virtual-mapping>
<resource-path>/*</resource-path>
<system-path>c:/cfusionmx/wwwroot/</system-path>
</virtual-mapping>
|
|
Note: Remember to use forward slash characters in the pathname. |
| 3 |
Save the file. |
| 4 |
You can now move the CFIDE and cfdocs directory to the new web document root. |
|
These directories contain the files for the ColdFusion Administrator, the ColdFusion documentation, and the ColdFusion example code. |
|
Caution: Do not move the WEB-INF directory. It must stay under the cf_root\wwwroot directory. |
| 5 |
Restart the ColdFusion server. |
