Hello everyone. I'm new here. I have a problem that may be very silly, but it has occupied me for a while. You see, I installed Coldfusion to use CFML with the CfWheels framework. But I have also used CommandBox to generate the application. All good but the problem then comes when CommandBox installs a new ColdFusion and uses it as a web server leaving aside the CF that was previously installed. It gets even worse when I try to log into this new ColdFusion but simply none of the tried passwords work. How can I log in to this new CF installation?

1. I tried to modify "admin.security.enabled" to "false" boolean. It did not work

2. I have searched for other files that allow me to log in, I have not found them.

If it is not possible to login to the new FC installation, how do I have CommandBox use my previous CF installation and not download a new one?

It seems that it looks for a compatible one with cfengine, and it is "adobe 2016.0.06 + 308055".

Additional data: when I make changes to server.json so that it connects to port 4500 (my installation of ColdFusion uses that port by default) it throws me an error saying that this version is not compatible.

What path do you recommend to follow here?

Commandbox runs it's own servers, so you don't actually need a locally installed coldfusion instance (but you can of course have that running too independently) ; so you can actually completely switch out CF versions by doing `server start cfengine=adobe@2016` or `server start cfengine=lucee@5` for instance. You can actually see all the servers at something like /Users/YourName/.Commandbox/

See:

https://commandbox.ortusbooks.com/embedded-server/multi-engine-support

The default admin password for all CFIDE's is just username: admin and password: commandbox

If you try and alter server.json to use port 4500 it will probably ignore it and start on a random port as it will see that port is in use.

If you ever want to wipe the local server, do `server forget NAME`

Thank you very much Tom, this has worked. I wonder where in the documentation this information was because I did not find it.

:)
