About web servers in ColdFusion
The
web server is a critical component in your ColdFusion environment,
and understanding how ColdFusion interacts with web servers can
help you administer your site. ColdFusion provides the following
web server options:
- Built-in web server
- A lightweight, all-Java, HTTP 1.0 web server. Suitable for development
but not intended for use in production applications. For more information,
see Using the built-in web server.
- External web server
- A customized web server connector module that forwards requests
for ColdFusion pages from an external web server to ColdFusion.
For more information, see Using an external web server.
