Coldfusion 10 to 2018 migration

Hi,

We have migrated from Coldfusion 10 to 2018. In the windows services I see Coldfusion 10 services and Coldfuision 2018 services running.

When I stop the CF 10 services and just run the CF 2018 services the coldfusion administrator url does not work.

When I run the CF 10 services the CF administration works.

Do I need to run the CF 10 services? How do I make the CF administration work?

Thanks.

Hk24591112,

What you need to do is:

1) Disable ColdFusion 10.

To do so, go to Control Panel => Administrative Tools and open Services.

Locate all the ColdFusion 10 services.

For each ColdFusion 10 service perform the following:

Right-click on the service;

Select Properties;

Set Startup Type to Disabled;

Click on Stop;

2) Restart ColdFusion 2018.

BKBK, why are you telling HK how to disable his CF10 sites? HK is saying that when they stop CF10 (whether they stop it manually or set it to disabled), they finds that their CF2018 admin does not work.

That's what my last reply here tries to help them to address. Talking about disabling the CF10 services seems to be a curious step, given what's been shared so far. Care to share any more on why you are going down that route?

Charlie_Arehart , my suggestion is simply what I consider an answer to the original post. I have nothing to add till hk24591112 tells us the outcome of the suggestion.

Something happened during the install, I'm going to guess it was when the connector was run. Recommend uninstalling both, then install the CF2018 so that when you run the connector it sees only the CF2018 services.

V/r,

PS.. then, again, this is really a question for Charlie Arehart.

We have used ColdFusion Migration wizard to migrate from old to new version. It migrated successfully without any errors. But, in the windows program services when we stop the CF 10 services (.net service, application, ODBC services) the CF admin does not work.

The CF Administrator is just a web application. When you install each version of CF, you'll get a separate CF Administrator in a different location. With CF 2018, you can't get to it through an external web site by default, so you'd have to go to:

http://localhost:85XX/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

... where XX are the last two digits of the port used by that CF install. If you have both on your machine, you probably have something like this:

http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm - your CF 10 install

http://localhost:8501/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm - your CF 2018 install

Note that it's possible that you didn't enable the built-in web server at all with CF 10, so it wouldn't have a port number and you'd use 8500 for your CF 2018 install, I guess. During the install process, the installer gives you all the port numbers, and they're also in the install log files created in each CF directory.

If you didn't enable the built-in web server with CF 10, it's possible that you're accessing the CF Administrator like this:

http://www.your_server.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm

In that case, this URL would resolve to the old CF Administrator app and would be serviced by the old CF server until you remove the web server connector and replace it with the one for CF 2018.
