We will be getting MX 7 very soon and we plan on migrating from CF 5. I found a very good document on Migrating Applciations to ColdFusion MX 7 that was tailored for CF 5. It seems like a very good reference that I hope to follow. I just hope I have a good grasp on what is going on.
I will be following the "Migration strategy using built-in web server" so that developers will be able to test and modify their code in a test environment as we do not have a development server. After I have installed CF MX 7 and set up the built-in web server, I'd then run the Configuration and Settings Migration Wizard to migrate settings to MX. I would then place a copy of our wwwroot in the built-in web server's wwwroot and define data sources as necessary on replicated databases. Now, with this situation, we would have CF 5 and CF MX 7 installed. While I know the CF MX 7 would be serving up the built-in server content, would it also affect the original wwwroot content or would it all still be served up by CF 5? Is there a better way of doing this (keeping production going unaffected while testing and fixing code for CF MX 7)? Could the same idea/process be used to upgrade from CF MX 6/6.1 to MX 7? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:249833 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
