CHAPTER 4
Web Server Management
You can connect Macromedia ColdFusion MX to the built-in web server and to external web
servers, such as Apache, IIS, and Sun ONE Web Server (formerly known as iPlanet). This chapter
explores common scenarios, security, and multihosting.
The information in this chapter applies when running in the server configuration, in the
multiserver configuration, and when deploying on Macromedia JRun in the J2EE configuration.
(Some J2EE application servers include web server plug-ins that provide similar functionality.)

About web servers in ColdFusion MX
The web server is a critical component in your ColdFusion MX environment, and understanding
how ColdFusion interacts with web servers can help you administer your site. ColdFusion MX
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” on page 66.
External web server A customized web server connector module that forwards requests for
ColdFusion pages from an external web server to ColdFusion MX. For more information, see
“Using an external web server” on page 67.
