Define remote server instances to the ColdFusion Administrator

Register a new remote instance of ColdFusion using the ColdFusion Administrator.

1. In the ColdFusion Administrator, click Enterprise Manager > Instance Manager > Register Remote Instance.

2. Specify the details such as instance name, remote host, remote port, http port, JVM route, and load balancing factor.

   Instance name is a string that is used to identify the instance. Remote port and HTTP port are displayed in the Instance Manager page. These ports are provided in the server.xml file available in the runtime\conf folder of the instance. Remote port is the AJP port and the instance port is the connector port.

   JVM route is the remote instance name. The JVM route is an attribute that acts as an identifier for a particular Tomcat worker. JVM route is provided in the server.xml file available in the runtime\conf folder of the instance. For more information on JVM route, see http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/cluster-howto.html.

   Note: A remote instance and a local instance cannot have the same JVM route if they are added in a cluster with sticky session enabled.

3. If you want remote start and stop functionality over HTTP, enter Admin Component port, Admin Component user name, and Admin Component password. The default Admin Component port is 8985.

   Note: To enable this feature, install admin component on the remote host.

   1. In the remote host, open the cfroot\cfusion\jetty\etc\jetty.xml.

   2. Search for the string, org.mortbay.jetty.bio.SocketConnector.

   3. Update the host with the IP address of the remote host.

   4. Restart the jetty server.

4. Click Submit.
