Question

Coldfusion Built-in/External Web server

Hello Team,

Recently I am going to deploy CFM applications with Adobe Coldfusion 2016.

I want to install Adobe Coldfusion on a different server and I have two web servers and one of which is built in on which Adobe ColdFusion 2016 is installed and another web server on different VM. Both the web servers are running on IIS.

My Question:-

Can we use Adobe Coldfusion 2016 installation on one server and configure the websites which are hosted on the built-in web server and another web server?

Do provide me with the solutions that If we can do that then what we need to do and if we don't then what are the best options we can accommodate.

Thanks

Virender

Hi Virender,

Are you planning to configure ColdFusion on one server and host application on another web server (IIS), if this is what you are looking for then yes, it can be achieved using ColdFusion.

It is called distributed environment with ColdFusion. Please confirm the above.

Thanks,

Priyank

Hello Priyank,

Thanks for getting on this.

Yes, we want to configure the ColdFusion on one server and host application on another webserver, But at the same time, we want to configure one more web server which is running on same VM on which Adobe ColdFusion is installed.

Is above scenario work?

Thanks

Virender

Despite Priyank's answer above, I don't think that what you want to do is possible. You will need to install at least one component of ColdFusion on each of the additional servers. This component is called the ColdFusion connector, and it is the part that is responsible for receiving requests from IIS and sending them to an out-of-process ColdFusion server. It may be possible to use the generic Tomcat connector, but you will have to install that still.

It might be useful for you to describe what you're trying to accomplish, exactly.

Here's a potentially useful link about distributed mode:
