Debugging settings overview
Use the Debugging Settings and Debugging IPs pages to configure ColdFusion to provide debugging information for
every application page that a browser request. Specify debugging preferences by using the pages as follows:
•
On the “
Debugging Output Settings page
” on page 33, select debugging output options. If debugging is enabled, the
output appears in block format after normal page output.
•
On the “
Debugging IP Addresses page
” on page 35, restrict access to debugging output. If a debugging option is
enabled, debugging output is visible to all users by default.
•
On the “
Logging Settings page
” on page 36, specify a directory for error log files that can contain useful debugging
information.
Note:
Enabling debugging affects performance. It is advised that you do not enable debugging on a production server.
