76 Chapter 4: Web Server Management
Apache
When you use Apache, you modify the apache_root /conf/httpd.conf file to create virtual hosts and
run the Web Server Configuration Tool. You store ColdFusion pages under the web root of each
virtual website.
To connect multiple Apache virtual hosts on a web server to a single ColdFusion server:
1.
Configure DNS for each virtual website, as described in your web server documentation.
2.
Open the apache_root /conf/httpd.conf file in a text editor and create virtual hosts, as necessary.
For more information, see your Apache documentation. For example:
...
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerAdmin admin@yoursite.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs"
ServerName SERVER02
ErrorLog logs/error.log
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerAdmin admin@yoursite.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs2"
ServerName mystore
ErrorLog logs/error-store.log
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerAdmin admin@yoursite.com
DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs3"
ServerName myemployee
ErrorLog logs/error-employee.log
</VirtualHost>
...
3.
Test each virtual host to ensure that HTML pages are served correctly.
4.
Run the Web Server Configuration Tool, as follows:
■
GUI Specify Apache for the Web Server, specify the directory that contains the httpd.conf
file, and select the Configure Web Server for ColdFusion MX Applications check box.
■
Command line Specify
-ws apache
and the directory that contains the httpd.conf file, as
the following example shows:
cf_root /runtime/bin/wsconfig.exe -ws apache
-dir "c:\program files\apache group\apache2\conf"
-cfwebroot
cf_root /wwwroot -coldfusion -v
For additional UNIX command-line examples, see “Using the command-line interface”
on page 69 .
The Web Server Configuration Tool updates the httpd.conf file. For a sample, see “Apache”
on page 76 .
5.
Restart Apache. You store ColdFusion files for each virtual host in the directory specified by the
DocumentRoot directive.
6.
Test each virtual host to ensure that ColdFusion pages are served correctly.
