>> What is the built-in server in standalone ColdFusion MX?  Is it JRun 4?
I asked someone and they said no but the I used the variable

the built-in server is the same as the appServer?

It's not the same, no - at least, it depends on the context.

When people refer to "the built-in server", they generally mean the HTTP
server, aka web server, that is built in to JRun. CFMX exists in a JRun
environment, which includes JRun's built-in web server. You can configure
JRun to connect to either the built-in web server or to connect to an
external web server such as Apache or IIS. So if you're using CFMX, you are
always using the built-in *application server* or servlet container, JRun,
and you *may* be using the built-in *web server* or HTTP server, which
unfortunately has no name afaik except for "the built-in server".

Just to make things more confusing, within JRun you can have several
different named configurations running, each of which is referred to as....
yes, a "server". CFMX is one such server (the "cfusion" server within JRun).

And then of course all this software runs on a host computer, which is
generally referred to as a....
