Note:

In the 2018 release of ColdFusion, we have removed Server Monitor. Instead, we have introduced Performance Monitoring Toolset, a better, more application intuitive performance monitoring solution.

For more information, see Overview of Performance Monitoring Toolset.

The comprehensive Server Management feature of ColdFusion Builder lets you start, stop, and restart the ColdFusion server, and access the ColdFusion Administrator and Server Monitor from a single Servers view. For more information about the Servers view, see Using Servers View.

You add a server, and associate it with a project to debug or preview files in the project. You also associate a server with a project to install and run the extensions that are packaged with ColdFusion Builder. For more information about adding servers, see Adding ColdFusion servers.

Understanding web server terminology

Before you set up and manage your server, read through the following topics to understand web server terms and concepts that are used in the documentation.

For detailed information about web servers and configuring them for ColdFusion, see Web Server Management in the ColdFusion Administrator's Guide

Document root

The term Document Root refers to a file system directory, from where your web server serves web pages. The term can vary from server to server, but the same concepts apply to most web servers.

URL prefix

A URL prefix maps a local file system resource with a URL.

In ColdFusion Builder, you use a URL prefix to preview or debug projects outside your web root or document root.

You can specify a URL prefix while creating a server, or by editing settings for an existing server. For more information, see URL Prefix.

You can also specify a URL prefix to an existing project or folder. For more information, see Set URL Prefix.

Usage Scenario

You have a project called "Project1". Project1 is configured to server1, whose document root is at C:\server1\MyDocs and URL is  http://www.example1.com. Within Project1, you have a linked folder called " xyz ". The folder xyz points to the document root of server2, which is C:\server2\MyDocs and the URL to access it is http://www.example2.com. You want to preview all the files within the xyz linked folder in ColdFusion Builder.In this scenario, to preview files within the xyz linked folder, you create a URL prefix. You create a URL prefix by specifying the following details:

  • Absolute path: C:\server2\MyDocs\
  • URL to access the xyz folder: http://www.example2.com

Virtual host

The term Virtual Host refers to the method of hosting multiple websites (domain names) on a single web server. The multiple websites are differentiated by their apparent host names. For example, you can run websites www.example1.com, www.example2.com, and www.example3.com, on a single IP address.

In the ColdFusion Builder context, you can use a single ColdFusion server to run multiple websites that are configured as virtual hosts on an external web server like IIS or Apache.

For information on how to configure virtual hosts in the web server, see the web server- specific documentation.

When you associate a project with a virtual host, ColdFusion Builder functionality like, previewing, debugging, Content Assist, and building extensions, is extended to all the folders and subfolders within the project.

Virtual directory

The term _Virtual Directory _refers to a folder that is not physically contained in the document root although it is accessible through the server URL. To create a virtual directory, you specify an alias for the folder’s path in the URL. The alias name is used to access resources within the folder.

Suppose the document root for your website (www.example.com) is c:\xyz\docs, and the folder that provides contents to your website is at d:\abc\content. Then, you define an alias for this folder called content. You can then access the website using the URL: http://www.example.com/content/

Adding ColdFusion servers

You add a ColdFusion server to test projects or applications that you create in the ColdFusion Builder workspace. The ColdFusion server can be a development server for testing and running your applications before you deploy them on a production server. You can add a local or remote ColdFusion server.

Add a local server

In the Servers view, do one of the following:

  • Right-click and select Add Server.
  • Click .

Enter the following details in the ColdFusion Server Setup wizard:

General Settings

  • Server Name: ColdFusion server name.
  • Description: (optional) Description of the server.
  • Application Server: Select the drop-down list and select JRun or select Other to configure a non - Jrun server.

Note:

You cannot start, stop, or restart a non-JRun server within ColdFusion Builder.

  • Host Name: Name of the ColdFusion server host. For example, localhost or 127.0.0.1.
  • Select Is Local.

Other Settings

  • Webserver Port: Specify the port number of the ColdFusion server instance you are configuring. The default port number of the ColdFusion server is 8500.
  • Context root: (applicable only for JRun servers with JEE configuration) Enter the context root. The JEE environment supports multiple, isolated web applications running in a server instance. Hence, JEE web applications running  in  a server are each rooted at a unique base URL, called a context root (or context path).
  • Application Server Name: (applicable only for JRun servers with JEE configuration) Name of the JRun Server on which ColdFusion is deployed.
  • RDS User Name: (optional) If you are using RDS, specify the RDS user name.
  • RDS Password: (optional) Specify the RDS password.

Note:

You set the RDS password in the ColdFusion Administrator. Do not confuse the RDS password with the ColdFusion Administrator password, which is also managed through the ColdFusion Administrator.

  • Select Enable SSL to enable SSL support in ColdFusion Builder. Servers registered in the Server Manager can communicate using SSL.
  • Select Auto Start and Auto Stop to automatically start and stop the ColdFusion server every time you launch and exit ColdFusion Builder.

Click Next.

Local Server Settings

Select the Local Server Settings tab, and specify the following local server settings, as applicable.

  • Server Home: (applicable only for Server configuration deployments running on Windows) Browse and select the ColdFusion Server home directory. For example, C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion.
  • Document Root: Browse and select the web root location. If ColdFusion is configured with a web server, say IIS, then select the document root of the web server; for example, c:\inetpub\wwwroot.This setting is required for previewing, debugging, and CFC name resolution in ColdFusion Builder.
  • Version: (applicable only for Server configuration deployments running on Windows) Select the ColdFusion server version from the Version drop-down list.
  • Windows Service: (applicable only for Server configuration deployments running on Windows) The Windows Service option is available only for Server configuration deployments, and not JEE configuration deployments of ColdFusion. If you want to start and stop the ColdFusion server using the Windows Service, select Use Windows Service To Start/Stop Server.

URL Prefix

(optional)

Note:

You don’t necessarily have to specify a URL when creating a server. You can specify a URL prefix even after creating the server by editing the server settings in the Servers view. You can also specify a URL prefix to an existing project or folder; for more information, see Set URL Prefix.

Select the URL Prefix tab and enter the following details:

  1. Local Path: Browse to or enter the path to the local file system resource.

  2. URL prefix: Enter the URL prefix.

  3. Click Add.

Virtual Host Settings

(optional)

Note:

When you specify a virtual host or virtual directory in ColdFusion Builder, corresponding settings must be specified in the configured web server. ColdFusion Builder does not validate these settings. So, if the settings in the web server are different from what you specify in ColdFusion Builder, ColdFusion Builder does not give an error.

To configure a virtual host, select the Virtual Host Settings tab, and do the following:

  1. Click New and enter the following details in Virtual Host Settings section.

    a. Name: Specify a name for the virtual host. For example, vh1.

    Note:

    You can provide any name and not necessarily the name that you provide in the web server.

    b. Host Name: The virtual host name as specified in your IIS or Apache web server settings. For example, www.example1.comWhen you create a virtual host in ColdFusion Builder, the virtual host uses a naming convention server name-virtual host name. The Server drop-down list in Project  properties  displays the virtual host name using this naming convention. For example, if you created a virtual host named "vh1" in your ColdFusion server (localhost), the naming convention that ColdFusion Builder uses to identify the virtual host is "localhost-vh1".

    c. Port: The port assigned to the virtual host in the web server.

    d. Type: Select HTTP or HTTPS from the drop-down list.

    e. Document Root: Browse to or enter the home directory of the virtual host. For example, if your website www.example.com is mapped to the directory C:\abc on the Apache web server, enter C:\abc as the home directory.

  2. (optional) To create a virtual directory, click Virtual Directory, and enter the following details.

    a. Alias: Specify an alias for the folder path.

    b. Location: Browse to or enter the folder path to which you want to specify an alias.For example, if the document root of your website (www.example.com) is c:\abc, and you want to include images from a folder available on d:\xyz\images. Then, you can define an alias called "images" for the folder path "d:\xyz\images". To understand more about virtual directories, see Virtual directory.

    c. Click Add.

    d. Click OK to add the virtual directory to the Virtual Directory Settings table.

  3. Click Apply. The virtual host is added to the List Virtual Hosts table.

To modify the virtual host settings, select the virtual host from the List Virtual Hosts table, modify the settings, and click Update.

To understand more about virtual hosts, and its relevance in the ColdFusion Builder context, see Virtual host.

Install Extensions

Select Install Extensions to install the extensions that are packaged with ColdFusion Builder.

  1. Browse and select the ColdFusion web root location.

  2. Browse to a location within the web root to install the extension. The extension is installed in the Extensions directory within the selected location.

Click Finish to create the ColdFusion local server instance. For information on using these extensions, see Using Extensions.
