we are in the process of updating to CF5 in our test environment this week as well. we will let you know if we have any problems and would be interested in others experiences and lessons learned on going through the server upgrade process from v4.5 to v5.0 in an IIS and SQL environment.
Steve -----Original Message----- From: Vishal Narayan To: CF-Talk Sent: 5/2/2002 7:11 AM Subject: Problems with upgrade to CF5 (URGENT!) We attempted to upgrade our development server - which is running CF4.5 and SQL2000 on a Win 2K Server to CF5 . On completing the installation and doing the configuration settings as described in the documentation, we are unable to view the ColdFusion Administrator or any other templates. In fact, even though we had initially applied Windows NT authentication on the CF administrator directory, we removed it after the install of CF5. However, we still get the NT authentication challenge when trying to access the CF administrator. While attempting to browse the templates we get the following error messages : "Server busy or unable to fulfill request. The server is unable to fulfill your request due to extremely high traffic or an unexpected internal error. Please attempt your request again (if you are repeatedly unsuccessful you should notify the site administrator). (Location Code: 26) Please inform the site administrator that this error has occurred (be sure to include the contents of this page in your message to the administrator)." We confirmed that the Web Server was indeed running. We confirmed that the IIS configurations were same as before, and are identical to the production server, which were fine as long as CF4.5 was running. This message shouldn't be displayed as we are not stress-testing the server at all. So we tried uninstalling CF5 and reinstalling it. This time the ColdFusion Application Server service can't be seen in the Control Panel ! Every request for a CF template throws up the 'HTTP 500 Internal Server Error.' Has anybody experienced a similar problem while upgrading / making a fresh install ? What can we do about this ?
