Just run the 30-day trial version or the developer version and you will be alright. (If you get it converted in 30 days or less.)

Migrating to a new server - CF Considerations?
Hi... I'm migrating all of my sites, and my CFMX, to a new server. Obviously, I don't want to suffer much downtime, so it seems as if I *should* be running CF on both servers for an overlap timeframe of around 48-72 hours, if I'm lucky. Not only that, but I'd like to be able to actually have some additional time to do any tweaking, match settings, etc. without issue. Of course, typing it makes me think that maybe I should upgrade now, too, but what the heck, one issue at a time. Am I silly for even asking the question, or should this type of transfer work out okay? Anything I need to be aware of? Thanks in advance; I'm feeling a little twitchy about it all and any advice is greatly appreciated.

Re: Migrating to a new server - CF Considerations?
I did that a few times. One problem is keeping the databases in sync.. if you run them both overlapping, some data will be entered into both servers- how do you reconcile that? What I did is set the TTL value in the dns of the old web server to a low value, so when the change is made, the dns info isn't cached as long. Then when it is time to change, the new one has the live sites and on the old one put up a page that says the website temporarily moved, and redirect them to the new ip address. Then make the change in dns at a slow time, like midnight Saturday night and everything will be working by Sunday morning. I would also take the opportunity to upgrade, if you have the time.. this way you save downtime later.. and it is much, much better to start out with a fresh install of the operating system and cold fusion than to upgrade from previous versions.

Hi Al, Thanks for the info--we're not so concerned with the data at this point in time; we can render the other sites as temp down since we control most of them. The bigger issue is really what happens with CF when we do this. Anyone? --R ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
