Instance Manager not showing stop or restart when HTTP disabled

We are migrating from Coldfusion 2018 to Coldfusion 2023. We run Enterprise Edition and have multiple instances. For secuity reasons we remove the HTTP listers after creating the instace by removing the connector from <server-dir>/runtime/conf/server.xml

<Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" port="8501" redirectPort="8445" connectionTimeout="20000" />

This works fine in Coldfusion 2018 
However after doing the same in Coldfusion 2023 the stop and restart actions aren't avaible

After adding the conenctor back into <server-dir>/runtime/conf/server.xml

 

<Connector protocol="HTTP/1.1" port="8501" redirectPort="8445" connectionTimeout="20000" />

 

This the expected actions are avalible.

 

From what i can tell eveything else works ok, including the restart after applying an update. I just wanted to check if I'm doing something wrong or if this a known issue or a bug.

 

Thanks

I do understand you have noticed a change in behaviour between ColdFusion 2018 and ColdFusion 2023. What I don't understand is why that bothers you. Deleting the HTTP connector implies that you don't want to use HTTP.

I can't stop or restart a running instance from within Instance Manager in Coldfusion 2023 when I could in Coldfusion 2018.

I am surprised that the CF2023 Enterprise Manager still shows the HTTP Port after you delete the HTTP connector in server.xml. It's worth another look indeed.
