How to toggle from an external web server to the built-in web server in Adobe ColdFusion

These are the following easy 6 steps through which you can toggle from an external web server to the built-in web server in Adobe ColdFusion :


For toggling from an external web server to built in web server the first thing you need to do is to take backup of the jrun.xml file.
This file is located under the cf_root\runtime\servers\default\SERVER-INF folder in Windows operating system, and in the cf_root/runtime/servers/default/SERVER-INF directory in UNIX operating system.

1. Now in the next  step you have to open the original jrun.xml file for editing.

2. Now search for the WebService service and set the deactivated attribute to false:

3. Search for the ProxyService service and set the deactivated attribute to true. It can be done like this:





4. Now  save the file.

5. In the next step, you have to copy the CFM pages in your web root directory (including the CFIDE and cfdocs directories) to the ColdFusion cf_root/wwwroot directory, and use appropriate URL references. If you toggle from the built-in web server to an external web server, you must copy the contents of the cf_root/wwwroot directory to your web server root.

Note: In case if you are using Adobe Dreamweaver, you must make sure that you must reconfigure all sites that you move from one server to another.

6. Lastly, restart ColdFusion to see the desired results.
