Rob,
You have hit on two problems with the web server stub all tied to the same
issue: The stub has no configuration information on Unix.
We use hard coded path names (/tmp and /opt/coldfusion) to find the socket
and to write the stub log file.
The log file issue is a reasonable complaint, this is something that got
missed when the log directory feature was added.
I certainly wouldn't think that any system would run very well if
the entire /tmp directory was removed. I sometimes regret putting
the socket there (yes, it was me, way back in CF 3.1) and not in
the /opt/coldfusion directories, but at the time we did not have
any well known place to find things. We later made it a requirement
that /opt/coldfusion has to point to the install directory, wherever
that really lives, but by this time it was difficult to change the
location.

Subject: CF 4.5 webserver.log on Linux
I've noticed that with Cold Fusion 4.5.1 SP2 Enterprise Edition on Linux
that if you go in to the Administrator area and change the log directory
(under logging | settings) that most of the log and PID files will reflect
the change, but the webserver.log file is still kept and updated in
/opt/coldfusion/log/.
Is there any workaround to get the webserver.log file pointed at a different
directory? I really hadn't planned on having growing files under /opt, and
prefer to use /var/log/cfusion for all CF logging purposes. Can we use a
symlink on this file? Maybe I ought to just symlink the log directory to
/var/log/cfusion...
Thanks,
-Rob Patrick
Also, just in case somebody in the future is searching the list archive, do
NOT remove the directory /tmp on a Unix system running Cold Fusion, as it
will cause cfexec to repeatedly crash in a terrible loop, as it uses
/tmp/cfserver for the cfserver and cfexec processes. Macromedia/Allaire
might want to put something under settings for this to be
changed...especially if it isn't already covered in the docs somewhere.
