These options will all be determined when you install. If you install CFMX
to use the built-in JRun web server, it will serve files from
\jrun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war. If you install CFMX to use
IIS, it will serve files from the IIS web root. If you install CFMX to use
the built-in JRun web server, then later on configure it to use the IIS
server, it will be able to serve files from both places, based on what web
server actually receives the request. In this case, the CFIDE directory will
be available through the built-in JRun web server, but not through IIS
unless you create a virtual mapping within IIS.
I'm not exactly sure what you want to accomplish, but I often set up
machines to use the built-in JRun web server, then configure them to use an
external web server. I then copy the portions of CFIDE that I want to be
accessible through IIS, to the IIS virtual server root (or in the case of
multiple IIS virtual servers, some directory that I map to each one).
Finally, I use something like ISAPI_Rewrite or URLScan to block specific
requests on IIS (/CFIDE/administrator/, /CFIDE/Main/, /CFIDE/adminapi/)
because these requests will usually work even if the appropriate files don't
exist in the IIS directory.
