I just read this thread, and you can no longer import neo-query.xml. CF
8 uses different xml files for it's datasources, neo-datasource.xml and
neo-drivers.xml according to the above link.

How old is the 'old' CF server?

On all MX generation servers (ColdFusion 6 and up), you are looking for
the neo-query.xml file. This file contains the dsn configurations of a
server.

There maybe differences in the layout of this file from version to
version so I can not guarantee that you can directly export from one to
the another.

If you have enterprise servers you can export and impart CAR -
ColdFusion Archive - files to migrate Administration configurations from
server to server.

Is there a file on the old CF server that contains all the data source information? Maybe we can copy some of that file into its equivalent file in the new CF 8 installation on the new server box. Is something like this possible?
