Configuration files



The Web Server Configuration Tool stores properties in configuration files, as follows:

IIS
In the jrun.ini file, typically found in a subdirectory of the cf_root/runtime/lib/wsconfig (server configuration) or jrun_root/lib/wsconfig (multiserver configuration) directory. For IIS 5 only, it also defines filter and extension mappings in the IIS metabase.

Apache
In the httpd.conf file, typically found in the apache_root/conf directory.

Sun ONE Web Server/iPlanet
In the obj.conf and magnus.conf files, typically found in the ws_root/server-http-xxx/config directory.

The following table describes the web server connector properties in the web server configuration files. The web server connector uses these settings to help it find the ColdFusion server and know which servers to connect to.

Property

Description

bootstrap

Specifies the IP address and port on which the JRun server’s proxy service is listening for connector requests. JRun must also be configured to listen on this port and address combination, the ProxyService must be activated, and the JRun server must be running. Specify ipaddress:portnumber (for example, 127.0.0.1:51011).

serverstore

Specifies the full path and filename of the file that contains information for the associated JRun server. The connector creates this file automatically. The default filename is jrunserver.store.

verbose

Creates more detailed web server log file entries for the connector. Enabling this option can cause the web server’s log files to fill quickly. Specify true or false; the default value is false. In Apache and Sun ONE Web Server, the connector writes to the error log configured for the web server; on IIS, the connector writes to its own log in the related wsconfig subdirectory.

scriptpath

(IIS only) Points to the virtual /JRunScripts directory on the web server.

errorurl

(Optional) Specifies the URL to a file that contains a customized error message. This property is commented out by default. Restart the web server after enabling this setting.

ssl

(Optional) Enables secure sockets layer (SSL) between the web server and the JRun server. Set this setting to false.

apialloc

Enables native operating-system memory allocation rather than the web server’s allocator (for use on Solaris with Sun ONE, at the direction of Adobe Support staff).

ignoresuffixmap

(IIS only) Forces the connector to use application mappings.

proxyretryinterval

Specifies the number of seconds to wait before trying to reconnect to an unreachable clustered server.

connecttimeout

Specifies the number of seconds to wait on a socket connect to a JRun server.

recvtimeout

Specifies the number of seconds to wait on a socket receive to a JRun server.

sendtimeout

Specifies the number of seconds to wait on a socket send to a JRun server.

Each time you run the Web Server Configuration Tool, it creates a configuration file and directory. For example, the first time you run the tool in the server configuration, it creates files under cf_root/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1; the second time, it creates cf_root/runtime/lib/wsconfig/2; and so on. Each of these subdirectories contains the appropriate platform-specific connector module and web-server-specific supporting files.

Sample configuration files

The following are some examples of connector-specific web server properties that help describe the web server configuration file parameters. These examples assume that JRun and the web server are on the same computer.

Apache configuration file

The following is a typical httpd.conf file for an installation of ColdFusion on the same computer as an Apache 2.0 web server:

# JRun Settings 
LoadModule jrun_module "C:/coldfusion9/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun20.so" 
<IfModule mod_jrun20.c> 
JRunConfig Verbose false 
JRunConfig Apialloc false 
JRunConfig Ssl false 
JRunConfig Ignoresuffixmap false 
JRunConfig Serverstore "C:/coldfusion9/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/jrunserver.store" 
JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:51011 
#JRunConfig Errorurl <optionally redirect to this URL on errors> 
#JRunConfig ProxyRetryInterval <number of seconds to wait before trying to reconnect to unreachable clustered server> 
#JRunConfig ConnectTimeout 15 
#JRunConfig RecvTimeout 300 
#JRunConfig SendTimeout 15 
AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws .cfm .cfml .cfc .cfr .cfswf 
</IfModule>

IIS configuration file

For IIS, the connector uses the jrun.ini file to initialize the jrun.dll file (jrun_iis6.dll on IIS 6). The following is a typical jrun.ini file:

verbose=false 
scriptpath=/JRunScripts/jrun.dll 
serverstore=C:/coldfusion9/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/jrunserver.store 
bootstrap=127.0.0.1:51011 
apialloc=false 
ssl=false 
ignoresuffixmap=true 
#errorurl=<optionally redirect to this URL on errors> 
#proxyretryinterval=<number of seconds to wait before trying to reconnect to unreachable clustered server> 
#connecttimeout=<number of seconds to wait on a socket connect to a JRun server> 
#recvtimeout=<number of seconds to wait on a socket receive to a JRun server> 
#sendtimeout=<number of seconds to wait on a socket send to a JRun server>

Netscape, iPlanet, or Sun ONE configuration file

The following is a typical obj.conf file for Netscape, iPlanet, or Sun ONE Web Server:

Note: Java must be disabled for the virtual server class that contains the server configured for JRun.
