Answer ___ Yes ___ No Note: RDS allows the server to interact with remotely connected developers. Adobe recommends that you disable RDS for production servers. Disabling RDS also disables the directory browsing applets in the ColdFusion Administrator. About multiserver configuration When you install ColdFusion using the multiserver configuration, the installation wizard automatically deploys and configures ColdFusion on its own JRun server.

When you use the multiserver configuration, you can use the ColdFusion Administrator to define multiple server instances on a single computer, each running ColdFusion. Running multiple instances of ColdFusion has the following advantages: Application isolation You deploy an independent application to each server instance.

ADOBE COLDFUSION 8
Installing and Using ColdFusion
About multiserver configuration
When you install ColdFusion using the multiserver configuration, the installation wizard automatically deploys
and configures ColdFusion on its own JRun server. This configuration supports server instance creation in the
ColdFusion Administrator and lets you manage ColdFusion deployments on multiple JRun servers.
If you already have JRun 4 installed and you want to use the server instance creation feature of ColdFusion, you
must uninstall it
before
you install the multiserver configuration of ColdFusion.
When you use the multiserver configuration, you can use the ColdFusion Administrator to define multiple server
instances on a single computer, each running ColdFusion. Running multiple instances of ColdFusion has the
following advantages:
Application isolation
You deploy an independent application to each server instance. Each server instance has
separate settings, and because each server instance runs in its own instance of the JVM, problems encountered by
one application have no effect on other applications.
Load balancing and failover
You deploy the same application to each server instance and add the instances to
a cluster. The web server connector optimizes performance and stability by automatically balancing load and by
switching requests to another server instance when a server instance stops running.
For more information on configuring ColdFusion on multiple server instances, including detailed information
for configuring multiple server instances when running on JRun 4, see
Configuring and Administering ColdFusion
.
For more information about J2EE servers, see “ColdFusion and J2EE application servers” on page 27.
