Server Settings section The Server Settings section lets you manage client and memory variables, mappings, charting, and archiving. You also configure mail and Java settings in this section. Settings page The Settings page of the ColdFusion Administrator contains configuration options that you can set or enable to manage ColdFusion MX. These options can significantly affect server performance. The following table describes the settings: Setting Description Limit simultaneous requests Enter a number to limit simultaneous requests to ColdFusion MX. When the server reaches the limit, requests are queued and handled in the order received. Limiting the number of simultaneous requests can improve performance. Timeout requests after [n] seconds Enable this option to prevent unusually lengthy requests from using up server resources. Enter a limit to the time that ColdFusion MX waits before terminating a request. Requests that take longer than the timeout period are terminated. Use UUID for cftoken Specify whether to use a universally unique identifier (UUID), rather than a randon number, for a cftoken. Enable Whitespace Enable this option to compress runs of spaces, tabs and carriage Management return/line feeds. Compressing whitespace can significantly compact the output of a ColdFusion page. Missing Template Handler Specify a template to execute when ColdFusion MX cannot find a requested page. Site-wide Error Handler Specify a page to execute when ColdFusion MX encounters an error while processing a request. Caching page The Caching page of the Administrator contains configuration options that you can set or enable to cache templates, queries, and data sources. These options can significantly affect server performance. The following table describes the settings: Setting Description Template cache size (number of templates) Enable this option to limit the memory reserved for template caching. For best performance, set this to a value that is large enough to contain your application's commonly accessed ColdFusion pages, yet small enough to avoid excessive reloading. You can experiment with a range of values on your development server; a suitable starting point is one page per MB of JVM size. Server Settings section 9
