Starting and stopping services

This section describes how to start and stop Windows services.

Note: In the ColdFusion MX Administrator, if you enable or disable security or change any option in the Java and JVM Settings page, you must stop and restart ColdFusion MX for your changes to take effect. This applies to the server configuration only; in the J2EE configuration, you use application-server-specific methods to update Java settings.

To start or stop a ColdFusion service:

1. Open the Services dialog box:
   • In Windows NT 4.0, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services.
   • In Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
   • For other Windows platforms, see the Windows online Help.

   If a service is running, its status appears as Started in the Status column. If it is not running, no status appears for the service.

2. Right-click a service, and select Stop, Start, or Restart.

   The Services window refreshes.

To set ColdFusion MX to start automatically or manually:

1. Open the Services dialog box:
   • In Windows NT 4.0, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services.
   • In Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
   • For other Windows platforms, see the Windows online Help.
2. Do one of the following:
   • In Windows NT, double-click the service to configure.

     The dialog box for the service opens.

   • In Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003, right-click the service that you want to configure and select Properties.

     In the Properties dialog box, click the General tab.

3. Select one of the following options in the Startup Type frame or drop-down list box:
   • Automatic Starts the service automatically when you start the computer.
   • Manual Requires a user or dependent service to manually start the service.
4. Click OK.
