Administering ColdFusion Server
The program will print out a list of available options along with a brief description of
their purpose anytime you enter an unknown option at the command line.
Using the INI file to specify startup options
It is also possible to specify startup options for the listener in an INI file. This INI file is
similar to the INI file required on the Web server side, but is available on the
ColdFusion engine side as a convenience (since all the required information may be
supplied as command line options at startup time.) Below is a template for this INI file.
If used, it must be placed in the root directory of your ColdFusion installation (on the
machine hosting the ColdFusion engine), and it must be named
cfdist.ini
. To
enhance security, this INI file may be optionally set to be automatically deleted after
being read at startup.

;
; Sample INI file for CFDist (AKA the "ColdFusion Listener Module").
;
; Place this file in the root directory of your ColdFusion installation.
; It must be named "cfdist.ini"
;
; !IMPORTANT! * All values (the strings on the right hand side of
; the equals sign) must be quoted using double
; quotes.
; * All info is case insensitive..
; * Lines beginning with a semicolon are treated as
; comments and are ignored.
;
; Use this to specify the port at which to listen for incoming ColdFusion
; requests
;
; Valid values: a valid port number (integer).
;
PORT = "1234"
; Use this to specify that the data sent between the machine running
; the Web server and the machine running this program be encrypted.
;
; Valid values: Yes, No.
;
ENCRYPTION = "YES"
; Use this to specify the key used to encrypt the data.
;
; Valid values: any string of up to 127 ASCII chars.
;
KEY = "doglips"
; Use this to have this INI file be deleted after it is read at
; startup. (This is a security feature as it keeps your key from
; being read by others.)
