Installing and Using ColdFusion
The ColdFusion process starts automatically when you start your computer and shuts down automatically when
you shut down your computer, if you specified that it should do so in the installation.
In the ColdFusion Administrator, if you enable or disable security or change any option in the Java and JVM
Settings page, you must stop and restart the ColdFusion process for your changes to take effect. This applies to the
server configuration only; in the multiserver and J2EE configurations, you use application-server-specific
methods to update Java settings.

Configuring web servers
You configure a web server to serve ColdFusion pages, for Windows and UNIX if you did not configure a web
server automatically during installation, if you want to change your web server, or to configure a web server for a
cluster.
You configure an external web server connection by using the Web Server Configuration Tool, which you can run
through a graphical user interface (GUI) or the command line. The Windows discussions describe GUI mode,
and the UNIX instructions describe command-line mode; however, you can use GUI mode in UNIX if you have
access to a graphical environment.
ColdFusion 8 provides batch files and shell scripts in the
cf_root
/bin/connectors directory to help you get started
with command-line usage.
