Adobe ColdFusion 8

Switching the port for the built-in web server

You can change the port on which the built-in web server runs.

Change the port for the built-in web server

  1. Back up the jrun.xml file.

    This file is in the cf_root\runtime\servers\coldfusion\SERVER-INF directory in Windows, and in the cf_root/runtime/servers/coldfusion/SERVER-INF directory in UNIX.

  2. Open the original jrun.xml file for editing.
  3. Change the port number specified in the WebService port attribute (near the bottom of the file): 
    <service class="jrun.servlet.http.WebService" name="WebService">
    <attribute name="port">8500</attribute>
    <attribute name="interface">*</attribute>
    <attribute name="deactivated">false</attribute>
    ...
</service>

    Note: Ensure that the deactivated attribute is set to false.

  4. Save the file, and restart ColdFusion.
