Accessing the ColdFusion MX Administrator

This section explains how to access the ColdFusion MX Administrator in ColdFusion MX for J2EE Application Servers.

To access the ColdFusion MX Administrator:

Start the server on which ColdFusion MX is running.

Open the ColdFusion MX Administrator in a web browser with the following URL:

http://host:[port]/cf_context_root/CFIDE/administrator

Variable

Value

host
The host name or IP address on which the web server is running. If your web server is on the local machine, you can also specify localhost for this value.

port
The port on which your web server runs. Varies depending on your web server and WebSphere configuration, and might not be required. For example, the default WebSphere Application Server installation uses a web server at port 9080, the default WebLogic Application Server installation uses port 7001, and the default Sun ONE Application Server 7 installation uses port 81. Microsoft IIS, Apache, and IBM HTTP Server typically use port 80.

cf_context_root
The context root specified when you installed the ColdFusion EAR files. The default value is cfmx. This value is stored in the application.xml file in the \cfusion.ear\META-INF directory in Windows, and in the /cfusion.ear/META-INF directory on UNIX.
