ColdFusion (2016 release) has a webserver configuration tool for creating connectors with external web servers. These connectors work with Apache and IIS webservers. You can create one single connector (ALL) to run with all your websites or create individual connectors (ALL-Individually) for each website. We have seen scenarios, where users use “Virtual Host” to run multiple websites on a single server, in Apache.
In this blog, we will see, how to configure ColdFusion connector to work with multiple Virtual hosts in Apache and map the virtual hosts with individual instance of ColdFusion.
