How to find the runmodes of a CQ5 instance
Posted by Feike Visser
Here a small blogpost around how to find out the runmodes of a CQ5 instance via the Felix console.
In your start-script of your CQ5 instance you can extend the runmodes of your CQ5 instance like this:
::* runmode(s)
set CQ_RUNMODE=author,localhost,europe
What I never could find is the option to check whether cq really picked up this change.
Well here is how to do it:
- Go to your Felix console (/system/console).
- Click on "Configuration Status" (/system/config)
Now check on the right-hand side of your screen for this image:

Use these arrows to navigate through all the tabs, until you see 'Sling Settings'.
In this tab the runmodes are displayed.

curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:4502/system/console/config/slingsettings.nfo
In your start-script of your CQ5 instance you can extend the runmodes of your CQ5 instance like this:
::* runmode(s)
set CQ_RUNMODE=author,localhost,europe
