Follow the steps below.

Step 1: Create the New Script Directory and copy the existing cf_scripts content to the new Script Directory.

Create a new Scripts Directory (C:/cf_scripts) and copy the existing cf_scripts content ({cf_root}/cfusion/wwwroot/cf_scripts) to the new Scripts Directory.

Step 2: Edit server.xml

Take a backup of the existing server.xml file in the ({cf_root}/cfusion/runtime/conf) directory. This ensures you can revert to the original configuration if needed.

Open the server.xml file in a text editor and add the following configuration:

</Context>

<Context path=”” docBase=”C:/ColdFusion2025/cfusion/wwwroot” WorkDir=”C:/ColdFusion2025/cfusion/runtime/conf/Catalina/localhost/tmp”>

<Resources>

<PreResources base=”C:/cf_scripts/scripts” className=”org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet” webAppMount=”/cfscripts-10/scripts”/>

</Resources>

</Context>

• Use C:/cf_scripts/scripts as a physical directory
• Mount it virtually at /cfscripts-10/scripts

Step 3: Update the cf_scripts path in the Administrator.

1. Take a backup of neo-runtime.xml located under cfusion/lib.
2. Update the new cf_scripts path in ColdFusion Administrator → Server Settings → Settings → Default ScriptSrc Directory, and submit the changes.

Note: The ScriptSrc directory path can also be updated in the neo-runtime.xml file on the backend.

Step 4: Restart the ColdFusion server and verify that you can log in to the ColdFusion Administrator.

Note: Any changes made to server.xml or neo-runtime.xml require a ColdFusion restart for the changes to take effect.
