Re: Running ColdFusion as a specific user in a Multiserver environment
open the Services Panel (MMC) and find the instance you want to change. On the properties tab enter the user id that you want the instance to use.

The technote works if you have a default Windows configuration (since you say administrator account I presume Windows). It actually gives to many permissions to the new account, I typically restrict it a lot more: http://jochem.vandieten.net/2008/04/06/windows-file-permissions-for-the-coldfusion-account/ Anyhow, to debug you problem check your *-out.log and if that doesn't have anything check the permissions on your *-out.log.

Re: Running ColdFusion as a specific user in a Multiserver environment
we are running CF 7 on Windows 2003 Server. does that make any difference? ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313882 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Running ColdFusion as a specific user in a Multiserver environment
> Any help would be appreciated. You didn't say if you are doing this on Unix or Windows? And what version of ColdFusion is always helpful. My main experience is windows based. The only difference with multi-home is that you have multiple Services, each service can have it's own login user. So you just select the service... "Adobe ColdFusion 8 AS general" for one of our instances, named 'general'. Then set the 'Log On As' to the desired user name and password. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:313881 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
