Configuration
Learn how to configure ColdBox according to your needs beyond the conventions.
In this area we will learn how to configure ColdBox programmatically via the
config/ColdBox.cfc file. Most of the configurations in ColdBox are pre-set thanks to it's conventions over configuration approach. So the majority of settings are for fine-grained control, third-party modules and more.ColdBox relies on conventions instead of configurations.
If you make changes to any of the main configuration files you will need to re-initialize your application for the settings to take effect.
Please note that anytime you make any configuration changes or there are things in memory you wish to clear out, you will be using a URL action that will tell the ColdBox Bootstrapper to reinitialize the application. This special URL variable is called
fwreinit and can be any value or a specific password you setup in the ColdBox configuration directive.// reinit with no password
index.cfm?fwreinit=1
// reinit with password
index.cfm?fwreinit=mypass
You can also use CommandBox CLI to reinit your application if you are using its embedded server:
$ coldbox reinit
