The ColdFusion Administrator

You use the Administrator to perform administrative tasks for the ColdFusion Server, such as adding and configuring a data source, or scheduling application page execution, and configuring security settings. During the ColdFusion Server installation process, you specify an Administrator password that is used to prevent unauthorized access to the Administrator pages.

To open the ColdFusion Administrator:

In Windows, select Start > Program Files > ColdFusion Server 5 > ColdFusion Administrator
or
In any operating system, open the administrator by entering http://hostname/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm in a Web browser where hostname is the name of the server hosting ColdFusion Server.

Note

The URL path is case-sensitive on Solaris, Linux, and HP-UX.

Accessing the Administrator remotely

To access ColdFusion Administrator pages remotely, enter http://hostname/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm in a Web browser, where hostname is the system on which ColdFusion Server is installed.

If you use ColdFusion Administrator security, you are prompted to enter a password. If your Web server provides security, access to the Administrator pages is governed by the Web server's permissions.
