    Actually it depends on which version you are talking about.  Generally CF first then webserver.

    But ....

    Are you talking about IIS?  How about JRun? ODBC? Search?

    Basically the best bet is to picture the flow of a request for a webpage and shut down in that order and start up in reverse order.

    So webserver, odbc and search, coldfusion (JRun).  Then reverse that for startup.

    I would start the ColdFusion services before starting the web server.  If CF isn't running the web server won't be able to handle requests for CF content.
