RE: CF9 + W2k8 Migration
We did similar and the process was essentially painless. The only gotchas we had were a few setting mistakes. 64 Bit will be a nice bump for you. -Original Message- From: Paul Kukiel [mailto:pkuk...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 12:51 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: CF9 + W2k8 Migration I also just migrated a large eTraning app from CF8 32bit to CF9 64bit Win2k3 - Win 2k8. It was painless. The CF9 installer works really well with IIS 7.0 and 7.5 now. We only had a few issues where local.something was treated differently under cf9 but that was fixed in about 2 mins. Perfomance has been great.

We have done just that and it was almost painless. Code all ran fine, but we ran into some bumps with payment gateways and the like as 64bit CF won't run 32 bit CFX tags. In every case there was a different version or a move to java-based gateway objects that fixed the problem. 2008 is a breeze to set up, add the IIS bits in roles/features in the Server Manager, the firewall should adjust itself for http and CF installs just fine over it all. Depending on your intentions for email sending you will probably have to open up SMTP outbound in the firewall. Of all of the hundreds of upwards migration we have done over the years this was the easiest... -- Yours, Kym Kovan mbcomms.net.au ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
