Typically in this situation I just access the CFAdmin directly from the CF box using JRun's internal webserver. I think this should be in the low 8300's on CF8, 8300, 8301, 8302, etc... You can log into the JMC to see for sure (found on port 8000). Remember these are ports on your Solaris box, not on the IIS box. You'll be using something like http://192.168.1.201:8300/cfide/administrator
Keeping this setup can also have some security advantages since your CFAdmin will *NEVER* be available on the theoretically visible web box. -Cameron Matt Davis wrote: > We are running CF 8 Enterprise Edition on a Sun Solaris box and we would like > to keep running CF on that box.
