Configure server settings in ColdFusion Administrator
This section controls several important aspects of the server related to performance and error handling. This is one of the most important pages in the ColdFusion Administrator, as settings here affect the overall behavior of your server.
Timeout Requests After (Seconds)
This setting enforces a maximum execution time for requests, which helps prevent hung threads from consuming server resources. It is recommended to enable this feature with the default value of 60 seconds. If you encounter timeouts, investigate slow pages using the logging features available in the ColdFusion Administrator.
Enable Per Application Settings
This setting allows developers to override global server settings on a per-application basis. This is particularly useful when running multiple sites on a single ColdFusion instance, as each application can have its own configuration. This option is enabled by default.
Use UUID for CFtoken
Using UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) for CFtoken is a recommended security best practice. This provides a more complex and secure identifier for client and session tokens compared to sequential numbers. This setting is enabled by default.
Enable HTTP Status Codes
When enabled, ColdFusion returns standard HTTP error codes to the client. This is helpful for search engines and automated systems that rely on proper HTTP status codes. This setting is recommended for production environments and is enabled by default.
Enable Whitespace Management
This feature reduces page file size by removing unnecessary whitespace from the HTML output. While this improves performance, disabling it can potentially break JavaScript or CSS that relies on specific whitespace formatting. This setting is enabled by default.
