170 Developing Web Applications with ColdFusion Express Overview of Administering ColdFusion Express The ColdFusion Express Administrator is the administrative interface of ColdFusion Express Server. ColdFusion Express Server is the component of the overall ColdFusion Web application development system that processes ColdFusion application pages and returns HTML pages to Web clients. The Administrator provides a browser-based interface allowing you to manage server performance, add and configure ColdFusion data sources, schedule pages, manage log files, and so on. For any ColdFusion development project, some level of administration is generally necessary to set up ColdFusion Server for your application. Accessing the Administrator All administrative operations are performed using the ColdFusion Express Administrator. The Administrator is a Web application you use to configure ColdFusion Express Server, and to set various server options. The Administrator includes options for managing a wide range of server settings. You can launch the Administrator from the ColdFusion Express program group in Windows by selecting the ColdFusion Express Administrator icon, or by opening the Administrator URL in your browser. If ColdFusion Server is installed locally, you can open the following URL: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm To access the Administrator remotely, you open the following URL: http://hostname/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm Where hostname is the name of the system on which ColdFusion Server is installed. If you are using ColdFusion Administrator security, you will be prompted for a password. If your Web server is providing security, access to the Administrator pages is governed by the permissions defined in your Web server. Once you have launched the Administrator, you have two menu choices: Home and Server. The Home menu provides the following information.
