I have a ColdFusion MX application installed on a Windows 2003 server. I need to move that application to a new Windows 2003 server.  The old application also has administration application installed that I need to move also. The applciation is based on SQl Server which resides on a seperate machine.

I need to know what is required on the new server for this application and what do I need to do to move it over to the new server.

thanks in advance.

You need to install CF on the new machine, then export the settings from the current one & import them into the new one.  Then copy the website/application from old to new.  That should be about it (other than testing everything once you're done, obviously).

How do I export the current settings?

When I install the CF on the server; which options do I select?  thanks

Via CF Administrator.  Note: you need to be running either the enterprise or developer edition to use this functionality.  If you are running standard, you can temporarily remove your licence to revert to developer edition, do the export, and re-apply the licence again.  Don't do this when the server is "live" obviously, as it'll bring the site down.

All this is in the CF docs, btw...
