admin developer version CF10

[iccsi]

I tried to access admin page of CF10 server develop version from another machine on the same network, but I got HTTP 500 error.

I thought that CF10 developer version can acceess by other 2 machines.

I would like to know does CF10 allow to admin from other machine, if yes, what should I look for this issue.

If not, is it that developer version only allow another 2 machines to access the web page only.

Your information and help is great appreciated,

Hello,

Yes, you can access the admin from two machines. Please try http://servername:portnumber/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm to access the CF admin.

I can reach the admin page, but I got HTTP 500 error when I login using admin user and password.

It works on the server computer.

Thanks again,

Are you trying to access the CF Admin using the built-in port or via the web server port?

I use internet explorer which should be web port.

How can I get build port for my CF10?

I forget which port I built and I can not find the information on admin page.

Can you please help how I can get build port?

Thanks again for helping,

Does CF10\cfusion\runtime\conf\server.xml have this syntax uncommented  (without being excluded by <!-- -->)?
<Connector port="8500" maxThreads="50" redirectPort="8445" connectionTimeout="20000" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol" executor="tomcatThreadPool"/>

Then the "build" port would be 8500.

HTH, Carl.

I use following address to access, but I can not get admin page

http://servername:portnumber/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

I get admin page when I use it without port number, but I got HTTP 500 error when I type password to login.

Hi,

Yes, It could be very much possible that antivirus/proxy/firewall/network setting are blocking the connection.

Can you try with an alternative machine/browser?

Regards,

Anit Kumar

[iccsi]

yes, I use 2 different machines and Internet Exploror and Googel Chrome.

Both machines and browser get same error.

I can get  admin login screen which means the brower is able to access CF10.

I got HTTP 500 error when I tried to login. It seems that I need check CF10 some configuration, but it works once using web port.

Are there any way to see the CF10 error log?

Thanks again for helping,

You can check in Adminstrator -> Security -> Allowed IP Addresses, if the following settings has any value specified -

Allowed IP Addresses for ColdFusion Administrator access

If yes, update it to a regular expression to allow intranet IP addresses.

[iccsi]

yes, I have the IP address of the computer in the list,

can you please advise how to update regular expression?

thanks again,

Hi,

The IP(s) listed there, would only have access to CF Admin. This can be individual IP addresses, IP address ranges of the form 10-30, or * wild cards. Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. When no IP addresses are selected, all users are allowed access.

Thanks a milllion, it works once i remvoe IP list.

my question is the IP address is my computer IP address.

I thought that it CF10 should take since the IP address is my computer address.

It works when I remove the IP address.

Thanks a million again,

Thanks for confirming that it works. The IP addresses are not filled by ColdFusion. It could have been configured at one of the 2 steps -

1. At the time of installation if secure profile was selected, it asks for a list of IPs to allow CF admin access.

2. The Administrator screen mentioned was used to configured later the IPs list.

Anyhow you can configure the regular expression in this way -

Say the IPs in your organization/group are all starting with 1.2, then you can allow all IPs starting with 1.2 if you specify the regular expressions - 1.2.*.*

If you don't give any IP address, then it will allow all IPs.

The restriction is pretty useful and recommendation is to use this to prevent unwanted access to administrator.

Hope this helps.
