In the 2018 release of ColdFusion, we have removed Server Manager. Instead, we have introduced Performance Monitoring Toolset, a better, more intuitive application performance monitoring solution.
For more information, see Overview of Performance Monitoring Toolset.
Adobe ColdFusion Server Manager is an Adobe AIR application packaged with ColdFusion installation. It enables ColdFusion Server administrators to monitor and manage multiple servers and apply the settings from one ColdFusion server to other ColdFusion servers.
Launch Server Manager
Before starting Server Manager, ensure that you have AIR installed because Server Manager requires the AIR platform to run.
You can download AIR from:
http://get.adobe.com/air/
To launch the Server Manager for the first time:
-
-
Click Server Monitoring > Server Monitor. Click Launch Server Manager. To download the Server Manager AIR application for a standard version of ColdFusion, access the following URL to download the file, ServerManager.air:
http://<Host>:<Port>/<Context root if applicable>/CFIDE/ServerManager/
-
Save and run the Server Manager AIR file to launch Server Manager in your server.
Note:When you download ServerManager.air application that runs on IIS 7 web server or a J2EE server, set the mimetype in the respective webserver or J2EE server. If you cannot configure the AIR mimetype, then perform either of the following tasks:
- Download the ServerManager.zip file, change the file extension to .air, and run it.
- Run the AIR file located in <CF_HOME>/CFIDE/ServerManager directory.
-
Run the Server Manager by calling the ColdFusion Server Manager executable from the installation directory.
-
Set the master password when you log in to the Server Manager for the first time. You can also reset this password.
Register servers
Register each ColdFusion server instance to manage it from the Server Manager.
To register a ColdFusion server:
-
Click the
sign in the right-pane of the Server Manager.
-
Enter the following server details:
- Server name
- Host name/IP address
- Port number
- Context root (for J2EE servers)
- User name and password of the context root
Note:Register a particular server either using hostname or IP address only once from the Server Manager AIR application.
-
Click Apply. The server appears in the All Servers list of the Server Manager. If the server details and authentication details are correct, then the server status displays 'Logged In'. Otherwise, the status displays 'Login Failed' or 'Unreachable'.
-
Select the icon adjacent to the Server drop-down list in the left-pane to fetch details of the ColdFusion server instances.
By default, the registered servers appear in Quick View in the right-pane of the All Servers tab. If you have associated the server instance or cluster to a group, then it appears under the group tab also.
After you register a server instance, you can apply a hot fix or clear the server template cache. You can perform these tasks for an individual server instance or for multiple servers.
Start and stop ColdFusion server instance
You can set up start and stop remote instance functionality in Server Manager. To enable this feature, install Remote Instance Administrator while installing ColdFusion.
-
Perform the following in the remote host:
- In the remote host, open coldfusion_home\cfusion\jetty\etc\jetty.xml.
- Search for the string, org.mortbay.jetty.bio.SocketConnector.
- Update the host with the IP address of the remote host.
- Start the jetty server. Navigate to the coldfusion_home\cfusion\jetty directory and execute jetty.exe. You can also use the jetty services in the Windows services.
